Am I the only one that thinks Adam is the easy target?

Nope. He never impressed me on his season and I imagine he doesn't have many ties in the Survivor world, the tribe will hardly lose much from his being gone since he was never that great in challenges. So yeah, if I was out there, I'd be down for that vote.

if this team was smart, Rob is gone.

The question is: are they that smart?

Basically, even though a person is voted out of the game, they're not truly gone.  The people voted out go live on an island (Extinction Island) until they get a chance to return to the game.  They came up with this one two seasons ago.

The winner of that season spent 26 days on EoE. It wasn’t a resort setting, but someone getting the win despite only being in the game proper for a third of the game sucked.

LOL right? 
(and i still can't believe 20 years later that still happened). 

Lex deserved it. Effing moron.

[vb68]

Heh, I'd want Rob to build the shelter before I kick him to the curb. (Since you know, he built a magnificent one last season. LOL)

So they don't even need to compete in a reward to get luxuries.  They just need the fire tokens.

And dare I say Yul is even hotter than he was back then?

[Daisy]

soo. they can go shopping? 

hmm.

[Lantern7]

I think Plan A was bills with Probst’s face on it.

How long until Tony starts running in the woods?

Much hotter. 
and he's Still Yul. that dorkable guy. so happy...

[Lady Calypso]

Tyson: Survivor's been my career for 12 years.

Me: What the hell has he been doing for Survivor for 12 years?!?!

[Lamb18]

So this is Survivor: Summer Camp, and you buy goodies at the canteen with your fire tokens.

[wallflower75]

Survivor...don't you dare try to make me like Tyson.  NOPE!!!

Edited February 13, 2020 by wallflower75

[Lantern7]

Once again: how is Tyson here for a third time?

And he has kids?!? Assistant Coach?!??

Wendall recognizes royalty.

[PaperTree]

thanks Tyson for reminding me what a dickhead you are.

[Daisy]

Sandra's like. "let's not call me Queen."
 

[LadyChatts]

We already get our first flashback when Tony got voted out of S34.  And Sandra's first "queen stays queen."

wondering if it's this stuff is to get some of these winners back. 

wait. they built an idolof Rob? 
man. you miss a few seasons you miss a LOT. 

[Lantern7]

You know, I think there are only two other players that have won twice in foreign editions of the game. I don’t know if they rely on recycling in other countries as much as us, though.

Parvati has a point, there's a lot of bonding over kids this time around because all the time that has passed.  She wants to use the mom card, to which my response is-I think you'll have to get in line.

[wallflower75]

LOL.

Ugh, Rob.  "Somebody found something they were good at."

[LadyChatts]

I don't know how it is that Denise looks like she's the one who played 20 years ago, and Ethan, Yul, and Danni look like more recent players.

So...are we getting two people voted off, or is this going to be just getting flashbacks to everyone's seasons and a 'guess what I've done since I last played' for two hours?

And Sandra! And those idols were damn impressive.

Edited February 13, 2020 by Lantern7

[Daisy]

LOL poor Denise. 

"I'm wearin blue. I'm going back to tribal council.."

[Lady Calypso]

I was about to say that Adam seemed on par to become Denise's new Malcolm...and then he voiced it.

[PaperTree]

1 minute ago, Daisy said:

It was 50 feet tall and gross.  Sandra got one too.  

[Daisy]

LOL Tony is so itchy to go for the idol. he's on lockdown. 

[Lamb18]

There's a lady in a purple tank who I think must be Danni.

Oh Ethan, feel so sorry he had cancer. I just watched season 3.

Denise, you can find a better ally than Adam. He is not a substitute Malcolm.

[LadyChatts]

I love how Jeremy says that Adam and Denise pulled a rookie move by going off alone together.  Please let that make Adam a target.

[Lady Calypso]

Amber....you right, girl. It IS a disadvantage.

[MerBearHou]

I love so many of these winners.  Hate that someone has to go tonight.  God bless Ethan — he is coming to this game from a radically different place than the other 19.  I have zero recall of some of the women, I hate to say, and I’ve seen every season.  I hope Rob stays awhile.  I’m an old-school Boston Rob fan.  He’s a character and I enjoy him so much.

[PaperTree]

I almost forgot how much I despise Tony.  And whining Ambah

[LadyChatts]

Amber's out idol hunting and already crying about Rob potentially being voted off.  Maybe he'll find someone as stupid as Lex over there.  

You know, why don't people just go out together for stuff?  Then there'd be no paranoia and no trying to hurry to get back to camp because people are thinking your out looking for idols and advantages.

[Lantern7]

Amber cries. Meanwhile, Lex and Kathy throw bricks at their respective TVs.

[vb68]

Survivor: Everyone has Babies Now

[Lady Calypso]

Why is it that 70% of the men have gotten confessionals but only, like, Parvati, Sandra and Amber have gotten confessionals already?

[Daisy]

LOL Sophie and Yul. ❤️

 

[LadyChatts]

Damn Yul.  He's pretty observant.

I'm hardcore rooting for Ethan.  Not sure he stands much of a chance, but...yeah.

[Ripley68]

I havent' watched in a REALLY long time.  I only know maybe a third of these people. I remember Yul and liking him, liking Ethan, begrudgingly coming around to like Rob and Amber, Never liking Sandra, I think I remember tyson.  Not sure how long I'll stay, but hopefully it won't make me want to claw my eyes out, which made me stop watching.

Probably because Probst has more of a crush on the men than the women, and had said in the past he thought they had weaker female winners than male winners.  If he had any say in editing, then that's probably why.

Aww, Sophie called Yul her nerd shield (instead of a meat shield).

Which is so.. (sigh) Jeff. 

I'm gonna be so intrigued how Danni will play. 

[Lady Calypso]

I agree, Danni. You need to be taking Rob out now...but I'm going to bet that Rob is NOT the first person out, just because they wouldn't be talking about it this early in the episode if it was going to happen.

And when he says crap like that, I feel like saying, "And whose fault is that?  If you gave female winners the spotlight male winners get, maybe the audience would be able to pick them out of a lineup."

[Lady Calypso]

This is my first instance of Ben. I don't like Ben. 

 

[Lantern7]

Ben is a Rob fanboy. Oy.

[PaperTree]

Spare me the phony starstruck humility Ben.  TPTB handed you your win.

[LadyChatts]

So Ben tells Rob that his name is being thrown out, yet is reluctant to tell him who.  Way to sell Danni out.

He said he was star struck.

I don't know how your out there among winners either, Ben. 

[Daisy]

Ben. you dumbbo. 

Also. YAY DANNI. 👏

[vb68]

Please turn on Ben! Please, please.
