Q Not sure why... other than possibly planning ahead, so he can say at FTC that he didn't write Hunter's name down. He had the outlying vote on Soda's exit too, so I think that may be his ongoing strategy... But, honestly, who knows with him?

I agree with all the comments above. The contestants this season are delusional, attention-seeking, dimwit crybabies who are mostly legends in their own mind. The other thing that I didn't care for last night were Peachy's antics, seemingly trying to become more likeable with the viewers. It was out of character and (in my opinion) out of line for him to openly predict that the trio of Q, Venus, and Liz would be out first in the immunity challenge. And the whole bit with the cushion and popcorn at tribal council was ridiculous. To even call this show Survivor anymore is a joke. To compare the first seasons, where starving, bug-bitten castaways really toughed it out, to the Jerry Springer-like shit-show it has become today is laughable.

Last night's episode could have been renamed "The Q Show" , and I did not enjoy it at all. The entire episode revolved around Q, and he had more talking head time than all the other cast members combined. It was revolting how he rambled on and on about how he was in control, and anybody who didn't play by "his rules" would be the next voted off. In his mind, Tiff had to go because she was considering voting off a fellow-alliance member, Maria. But it was OK for him to then turn the tables and vote Tiff out of the same alliance! He's definitely a "my way or the highway" type of guy. I'm also not a fan of Venus. She's another delusional one, with a side of mean girl vibe! Sorry to see Tevin go. He seemed like he had a solid grasp of the game, whether you liked his camera mugging or not. It took real self-control for him to sit and listen to Venus prattle on endlessly about how she masterminded the Soda vote, and keep his mouth shut the entire time. If only Tiff knew how much Q was gunning for her the entire day. She needs to break those ties and run, not walk, away!

Do you mean Vinnie?

Once again, the "twist" dramatically changed the outcome! Nickey had to completely rethink her planned cake (dark chocolate with espresso), to incorporate the fruit punch into it instead. She pulled it off the best she could, but I can't help but think she might have won the heat if she didn't have to pair flavors that don't go together at the last minute. Who wants to eat ANYTHING with fruit punch syrup or powder in it anyways? 🤢 Anna, Anna, Anna... When will people learn that coating chocolate is to be used for decorating purposes only? Didn't she pay attention earlier in the season when Robert was scolded for using coating chocolate as a frosting? He got thru by the skin of his teeth, but poor Anna wasn't so lucky. I agree with someone above, that prior bakes were probably taken into consideration this week. Usually unbaked desserts would lose out over flavor issues. But Steven has won enough previous challenges, that he could not be let go so easily. Sad to see the underdog get sent home though. Rochelle seems to be either very top or very bottom in every bake. She's been lucky her "very top" have come during the main heats to keep her alive in the competition.

Add me to the long list of people who are glad that Bhanu is gone. Now maybe we'll get a chance to meet some of the other players. I will say though, at one point, I was seriously wondering if Bhanu's total lack of self awareness and gameplay was an act? How could ANYONE, much less a Survivor superfan, not know that you shouldn't spill the tea to other teams, and especially then to come back and admit it all to your own teammates (who you were already on the outs with)?!?! When Q was giving him the lesson on how to respond to questions at tribal, I was thinking, "Nobody can be this dumb". And the constant meltdowns and catch phrases ("I'm playing for a million hearts") GAHHHH!!! I wonder what his partner thinks as he watches this all back. What a total tool! Did I mention that I'm glad he's gone?

I've seen this style quite often lately on other shows. It seems to be the trend for beautiful black women. It wasn't just Comcast. I stream thru FUBO, and it wasn't showing up under Season 10 either. I searched down thru other seasons because I've had this happen before, and luckily found it listed under Season 5 as well. As for the twist... I didn't think it was fair that the judges commented on one of the bakers' (sorry, can't recall names yet) cakes that elderflower and almond don't really go together. Excuse me, BOTH of those flavors were assigned and required. She did not choose either of them, and she, herself even commented that they did not pair well together, but she did the best she could. This is why I don't like the twists. There seems to always be one or two bakers who it affects more adversely than the others, making it extremely unfair. Regardless, this definitely seems to be an advanced batch of bakers, all who have mad baking skills. I'm really looking forward to watching the rest of the season!

Lila really came around the past few episodes, and I think she deserved the win. Disappointed and surprised that Levi didn't make the finale, but he definitely had a very bad semi-final bake. I really loved Oscar. He seems like such a well-mannered and all-around great kid. Loved when he cried when Elsie was eliminated, and he seemed genuinely happy for Lila when she won. Wouldn't mind seeing any of the final 5 in another season. They all seemed like good kids who could definitely bake.

I noticed in the video clips of her from home, she didn't have her hair pulled up in a bow. I'm assuming it's the "persona" that either her parents or the producers are trying to portray. I agree, it looks ridiculous!!

This!!! I couldn't help but notice all the bling he and his wife were wearing, and I'm thinking that would have paid a couple months' rent!!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I get really tired of all the "back story" we are forced to watch for every contestant. Obviously, if they've taken the time and money to go film in a contestant's hometown, we know they're likely "going to Hollywood". All of these reality shows do it anymore. Everyone has to have a sad sob story to make the cut. Why can't we just hear their auditions without all the extra filler?

I agree that her baked items seemed to taste better, and be better baked than the other two girls'. However, if she didn't complete the challenge as instructed, then I feel she should have been the one sent home. When they announced that Madison was going home, I said, "If I were Madison's parents, I'd be mad. She just lost out to someone who didn't meet the challenge instructions." I do think Elsie is a more likeable character, so I'm not sorry that she's going to be around for at least another week. The "cat girl" can be gone any time now. For some reason, she annoys me! But I will admit she seems to be a pretty good baker, and is very creative.

I'm not so sure about that. The current jury seemed pretty happy to see Dee wearing the immunity necklace as they walked into tribal.

I felt the judging was very hypocritical this episode. The judges praised Kevin's "abstract" look, as he just put chunks of toffee around the outside of his roll. But other bakers who did the same thing, the judges told them it looked "rushed", "unplanned", and "messy".

I was wondering that myself!!! I even rewound to watch it again to see if I was missing something. There have been several times this season where I wondered how it was possible that Matt could have "heard" what was going on, because there was no way he could have read the person's lips.
