So its 5 to 3 now? Fing stupid. How could rob and parv be that stupid?

Vcant believe I havnt heard about the numbers Seems lazy for the old schoolers not to rope Danni back in and vote out ben

Oh Danni

Dont want Rob to go but the young school knows the old school are out to pick them off. Are there any youngsters that will play wuth them?

And thats why you dont vote off the strong first that stuff loiked heavy

I would have LOVED seeing this. Both Yul calling out the win, because Yul doesn't make his living from Survivor and can afford to say what he wants. And Sandra - LOL! Damn editing. How do you watch Australian Survivor?

I know people want Ben gone as not worthy. But why vote out an inept player in a season of "greats"? How do they get more fire tokens?

Thanks for posting that. Lots of interesting info there. Sandra made it sound like they were asked about 40 when they had been on the S39 island for a few weeks? Rob said NO right away? (Sandra said yes) Rob made it sound like a phone call after? Didn't sound like he was going to say yes till they asked Amber. Sandra thought Mike Holloway was a definite should be there. The island has wild chickens eggs, and lots of food, So is it still the same island? Then the EoE people have a bit of a food advantage. Ethan really studied and practiced hard to get ready as did Sophie. Parvati really looks thin, she catch a parasite or something?

He has certainly done a great job of analyzing Sandra's game. Why I don't like her game.

Russel Hantz has a podcast? (Mentioned above) I just lost some love for Yul. He mentored Cochran? Bad enouch Cochran but what is this mentoring thing? Yoy get a spot on Survivor and....hire a winner to jelp you learn the game? Hate it

Oh man, I really want Rob to win. And if not at least make it to the end. If it has to be a man out of that three I'd say Jeremy. After Rob, Yul is my fav. I read in an article (D Ross?) that some of the players hate EoE and some wouldn't return without it. I think he said Jeremy did not like it. A number of these people said they'd never play again. I don't think money is the issue really. I suspect there was some pressure on the early older players to come back, "you owe the Survivor family". Not sure who wanted EoE but can see why some were reluctant to come back without the option of getting back into play.

Did she add much to their Amazing Race play? More like Colby gave the win to Tina I was shocked by Sandra but also really entertained. Didn't she hide someones shoes in the jungle? LOL Me neither. Ok, for fans who is Jud Birza and why wasn't he asked? Had the same thought.

Dont know what happened to my multiple quotes collection. I also find Tony more entertaining than irritating. Don't know that I'm a fan or want to see him win but I'm glad he is on. Found the whole Sandra running around narcing on everyone's idea for votes so...obvious or something. I mean, would you trust telling her anything? Would you trust anything she says? I feel like she did that a bit too much or maybe it was editing. But she's going to have to watch it because she already has a lot of reasons to send her home. Not particularly into conspiracy theories either but in the one where Rob/Amber/Sandra have a pre-alliance....could it have been pre-planned for Amber to take one for the team? "If Rob and Amber are on split tribes Amber will just let herself get voted out". If Rob wins, they both get the 2 million. IDK, seems far fetched. I think that Rob and Parvati have played their old timers alliance hand too early. Should have gone with Adam in a less obvious power play. Now the newbies are gunning for them.

The challenges made me realize how weak and repetitive the last bunch of seasons challenges have been. They looked tough. I think I read they are using challenges that have been used before, they must have reached back. Rob and Amber. I don't think its fair to have them both on. I think there was some talk around of last minute adds or switches and for some reason I think maybe Amber was put in toward the end? As for why play at all (Rob, Parvati) I think when you are Survivor royalty and known so well there is a lot of pressure from Producers and Jeff to show up when they need you regardless. I don't know whether Amber has any game but the whole Rob/Amber thing really takes away from the fact that its all winners, all equal, no preset targets for being winners, oh except Rob/Amber. It was a mistake to have them both. Unless of course the whole Rob/Sandra thing is manufactured by production. Sandra, entertaining, emotional. Didn't like her game much in terms of always getting to the merge with that "if it aint me I don't care" thing. Didn't see steal someones shoes in her first season because they made her mad? I think she might be a little miffed at Rob if that is true although I bet she's playing it up for production. These guys know that production want drama. Rob in turn knows to play up the Sandra thing when he realizes Amber is gone. Speaking of Rob and Sandra, doesn't look like they lost much weight out there at EoE? Yul saying he wasn't going to use his old game theory etc. way of playing broke my heart. Please Yul, outthink these guys! Why vote out Natalie? Sure she and Jeremy were a pair but Adam, Ben and ? were a triplet. I really wanted to see Adam go, he's just so weaselly somehow. Did Jeremy and Natalie not see that they needed more people on their alliance of two? Or did they think they were in alliance with Adam et al.? I don't think anyone would have not bought the idol. I wonder if Natalie gave her idol to Sandra because she things Sandra would be a good alliance if she gets back in the game. That Sandra will last. Question, if Natalie's idol was only good for 3 tribals - was that just to give away or does Sandra only get to use it for the next 2 or 3 tribals? Amber is only a threat if Rob is around. So I guess they are planning on winning every challenge between now and a tribe swap or merge. I was disappointed with the way they went about figuring out who to vote out both times. Either that or editing isn't catching the strategy. Rooting for the old timers.

So many commenting on they didn't have kids their season and now they do. I feel like this is going to be the 'about my kids" show.

So Tyson only works 3 or 4 months a year? I guess he means doing Survivor gigs. So since he won he hasn't worked a regular job. I didn't realize it was that lucrative.

I remember thinking "that is the worst acting I have ever seen" as Sue lay on the beach and bellowed. Not excusing the behavior but I do wonder if she was really bothered or just making tv.

Anyone seen a list of friends/possible alliances out there? Adam and Ethan have said they are close along with Ben. So thats a threesome. I'd be interested in knowing others.

Well she for one brought it up a lot as a strategy. She would say she was using flirting. Two, whenever I think of Parvati I think of James. Man did she lay it on thick with him. I felt sorry for him. Three, I realize why she stuck with Russell and she did great with the idols, but ick ick ick ick. She had to sleep next to him and be nice to him.

Yes, it was interesting that he went back and listened to podcasts and things to figure out who was friends with who. Then there is the whole poker circuit thing

I'm not really full up on all the players nor have consciously picked a favorite. Except when I saw Rob on here I was sad. His win was shadowed, be sort of nice for him to get a win no one could argue about and then he and Sandra could be King and Queen two time winners.

Same. But now that she is a MOM and came back to....show her daughter about strong women or something, will that change her game play? I mean, does she want her daughter to watch her mom flirting her way forward? I did like the black widow thing, closest thing to a womens alliance and a lot of that was Parvati. Maybe she'll pull that back out.

I'm not sure why I like the earlier players so much better but yea, i'd like to see all the older returnees stick around. The game and the newer players are so dialed in its a little rote, I know production tries to counter that with idols etc but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe its the editing or secret scenes not showing enough of who the players are talking to and about. IDK. But I can barely remember the new winners. I like watching Rob and Sandra play

Did you not see the picture of her petting the tigers in their tiny cage? Another player, a season with a real cloud over it at the end was....the one with Jane Bright? I don't remember the season. I hated her for other reasons. Then there was the suggestion that she tried to get whats his name to agree to split the winnings or something when they were out in the water and the camera's couldn't hear what they were saying. Was that winner asked?

Probst was clearly complicit in the whole peanut butter debacle. Sure the first offer was "i'll take my clothes off for peanut butter". Probst easily could have just let the joke pass. But he waved the plate around, here are the pb and cooookies, lauged about it, said and you aren't even trying to tempt these guys off their posts as they stripped blah blah blah. No one told them to take their bottoms off. Seen as a big old joke, nothign wrong with it. Only becomes a problem if someone complains, Sue, re Dan. So I guess you guys are saying that if Sue didn't have a problem with a little peenie swipe as they crossed paths it would have been ok? Its only a problem if she complained? And you don't believe Hatch was asked back and yanked at the last minute and he was lying? I have no illusions about the show. There is lots we don't see and lots of manipulation and who knows what on the part of the players, rumors of sex blah blah blah. I think Hatch was entertaining and smart. Not the nicest guy in real life? Probably. Don't think his sins are so egregious that the first winner should be part of the first all winners.
