Pretty obvious none of the contestents had been exposed to or ever given thought to the military. I do think this kind of challenge can be a bit of a trap. Its either too costumey, too uniform or not enough. Still none of these look remotely inspired by military, It was a big let down creatively in general

Sort of a weird thing to put out. Why 50% black? Is the US 50% black? Are they going to cast by percentages including gender an age? Would LOVE to see Native Americans included.

why Tony and not Natalie?

I mostly scrolled on my phone till the EoE part. Ben, Michelle, whatever, just shifting tgts. Tony and Sarah are the only two interesting to me, Denise says she has all these moves done and I guess so but I can't even remember them. I do like her ok. Still like the EoE players and their games far better. This season just doesn't hold my interest. If Natalie wins her way back in and doesn't win I will be sooooo pissed. I will only be slightly less pissed if she doesn't win because she isn't in final 3. Were she to make final 3 and not win? No.

I just dont think EoE players have the same chance of winning as a play to the end person. Natalie has played so hard, I would have loved to see her play against Tony.

Being lazy I'm sorry. The spoilers that Tony doesn't win, - who does in his place?

Winners at War Winner: Most boring episode of Survivor ever. Partly because its been a boring season. There are barely alliances, names get thrown out all day and then without us even hearing why, they change with all the whispering at TC. Whats there to watch?

I can't help but wonder. If you were like Yul and running the numbers, what are your chances of getting off EoE and what are your chances of winning if you do? Sandra figured, pretty low and so left. Now Pavarti might be feeling the same so why starve. But why not leave? I wonder if Sandra brokered her leaving beforehand. In a comment I got the impression that Probst not only knew she would leave but that she would never be back, she is done. Perhaps everyone else is "strongly encouraged" to stay. Of course having bought the peanut butter, that doesn't mean she couldn't sell it to someone for a token if she really needs one for something.

Oh the scriptedness of Sugar Bear and whats her face showing up in California. I get the feeling that we are going to see a lot of whats her face, Sugar Bear, other people, because June still isn't found? Is she actually going to be on the show other than being chased through a parking lot? Like Dody's new teeth though yes they are too bright. Better than before for sure.

I'm in, I'll watch the whole season for sure. But I am a bit underwhelmed. The first challenge was a retail garment and if not haute coutre something new and fancy. Yea sort of blah. Especially the fancy. I couldn't even tell which was supposed to be which with a few of the designers. So the second challege is a no kidding we want haute coutre and...the only thing that came remotely close I thought was the donut hole. When I think haute coutre I think unwearable art that is used for inspiration. Some of the retail stuff has been nice but nothing that great. I wonder if because these guys have been in the industry, designing for others or customers, that they don't really know how to be really original or take it there. Even the Italian guys stuff was, backless with droopy thing, seen it on red carpets a thousand times. Project Runway made me a fan of Klum. Here she is irritating, like she's trying too hard. And the music is fine but way overbearing. And the woman who was the French Vogue editor? I just....cant....give her any credibility with those smudged eyebrows. Honey I know that one model made them a thing but you wouldn't wear a dress that made your body type look like a cow would you? Dial them down a notch at least. Or not at all would be better.

I can tell how good a season is (for me) by how many times I forget its on. I'm a pretty die hard fan and when I realize 30 minutes in that its on I know the season feels sort of blah to me. I love the old time players but they seem checked out (except maybe Sandra). Especially Boston Rob. Standing around with his little circle on a string game. Paravati hanging on the beach. Then I think there is the "we know what the survivor producers want to see from us" like Tony, who I find entertaining, giving us the spy shack again. The buddy system. Why do I feel like they got some producer telling them - make sure you remind people of what you did, who you are or something. I know everyone wanted an all winners season but for me it hasn't turned out. I mean its a fair season on its own, but not the wowee winners season. Why the old timers have all this "they are such a huge threat" reputation makes it unfair. It also makes me think that many of the new players realize their wins were duds. Michelle, Wendell (given his by #3), Ben. Weak winners and they seem to see themselves and each other as such. We can only win against other weak winners, vs. Hey let me work with Parvati! I'll give Adam and Nick and Sophie, they at least contemplated working with an old schooler. I get the impression that Rob and Parvati, who both said they would never come back, never. Got a phone call like, "Hey I know you said you wouldn't come back but you owe Survivor, you owe us, come back and we won't ask again." Lots of pressure. I hope Denise's move bites her. Not because I love Sandra so much although she certainly has grown on me bit by season, but because I think its not the smartest move so much as she was trying to win a place on the "players who made big memorable moves in their season" list and now I'm a famous Survivor player.

Well I'm not happy that the old schoolers will all be gone for essentially the second half. I find them much more enjoyable tv than the new schoolers.

Exactly how I see Rob. He hasn't been that engaged the whole season. Stands around swinging his little game thing, doing the minimum and seeming really irritated. I really don't think he wanted to play again. If it wasn't for Sarah he might have tried a different strategy by trying to bring someone else in or work with the other two but Sarah really had it out for him so he didn't have much choice. I think he knew he was going and there wasn't much he could do about it.

So the Buddy System would refer to Rob and his win right? Like Rob is on a new tribe and tries to get an alliance to stick to the buddy system. I can't see that going down very well. There is speculation that Sarah can't stand Rob, and she has been on a tribe with Sandra. So, if the 3 end up on the same tribe...bye bye Rob? Saw a picture on Reddit that had Wendell and I think Michelle with blue buffs. People still thinking Tony for the win, Michelle and Natalie F3 or F4. If not Tony then Michelle, which would make that comment of Robs to Michelle about "if you win you win" seem prophetic. Some discussion about twitter and instagram friends, made me wonder about EoE and Tokens. Say Parvati goes to EoE and really likes Michelle, she could really support her with all her fire tokens etc. that she might get. Like players still in the game have more than just random help but a real sponsor and that could really influence the game

I think most spoilers don't have Rob making it to the merge so I'm thinking the tribe swap does not go his way, or maybe any of the old timers way since they all seem to get picked off pre merge. Was it Michelle that seemed to end up away from all her known's?
