I'm curious to know where people are drawing the line between who is "old school" and who is "new school."  Where would we put it?  Before there were ever idols?  Before Survivor went idol-crazy?

I think it depends who you ask.  There was a poster here (sorry, can't remember who), who did a really nice break down of the different phases of the series.  Like idols, when characters became more prominent, etc, to see how the game evolved.  For me personally, old school is more the pre-HvsV (season 20) seasons.  Some people might have a different opinion.

I genuinely am torn about Ben. I don't know whether I'm so frustrated by his stupidity that I want him out ASAP so I don't have to deal with him...or if I'm amused by his stupidity and don't mind him sticking around if he'll continue to make me laugh.

I'm not.  He can go any time  🙂

It seems like it's before they all went idol crazy. Since I think Rob/Parvati did initially include Danni in their old school alliance (although left her out of their three with Ethan). 

My guess is that they probably draw the line just after HvV. 

 

I don't blame them. to be dead honest. that's where i'd probably draw the line too (minus Kim or something).

Well now there is the Stupid alliance of Ben, Adam, Michelle and someone else.

This is my worst nightmare come true.  Adam, Ben, Michele, Denise running things?  Or rather, just having the numbers, because they wouldn't be running anything.  Jeremy is okay, but a huge no to the rest.

wait. what?  whoa whoa whoa whoa...

I don't think i like this thing. 

Am I nuts for thinking Natalie basically has to sell Amway to get back in the game?

Oh please.  All Rob has to do is tell Ben hello and he'll spill all about the new school alliance.

He doesn't even need to speak. He doesn't even need to look at him. Ben would gladly spill either way.

[Daisy]

if Sandra plays she's in trouble.

thus she's not going to play. LOL

“For the cost of one fire token, you can help a player get back in the game.”

Seriously, why is the idol so goofy-looking?

”Sandra, take a spot on the benc. . . I forgot. Take a spot on the plush throne. Russell will be your footstool.”

I'm actually laughing at Ben, because it seems like this is a lot harder than the last time. 

I don't know if I want blue tribe to lose and risk Adam/Ben/Michele/Denise getting what they want, or the other tribe to lose.  Amber seems like an obvious boot, but I'm worried about Yul.

[PaperTree]

Did 2 time winner Queen Sandra ever win an immunity?

I'm more worried about Yul than the potential in New School Blue running the tribe. 

[Growsonwalls]

I wonder if Boston Rob is throwing the challenge so Amber will be safe.

[Stardancer Supreme]

That is one ugly immunity idol!

individually? I think she did . 

[Lady Calypso]

LOL, Rob is, once again, dominating with his tribe in challenges.

Smart, even if it ends up costing him.

[Lady Calypso]

Yeah, go Ethan! Thinking smart!

Doesn't look like it to me. Because in fact, it looks like he's working his ass off to keep them in this shit. So I think their tribe just sucks.

[MerBearHou]

Rob launching people!

[Lantern7]

Heh. Cheerleader Sandra.

You think Tony is looking for idols now?

Edited February 13, 2020 by Lantern7

[LadyChatts]

Sandra's like a school teacher standing on that bench.  "Tony, eyes over here."

[wallflower75]

Tony, you idiot--stop looking back!  If his tribe loses this one, I want Sandra to point that out to the rest of the tribe and get Tony's butt booted for the second time.

[vb68]

Sandra loves getting digs in at Tony.

[Daisy]

LOL Rob has such Daddy gut. it's kinda cute in a way. 

[Lady Calypso]

And...red tribe goes to Tribal.

And Denise breaks her curse!

[Lamb18]

The tribe names sound like Silly and Nicole when Jeff says them.

[Daisy]

is this Denise's first tribe win? I think so!

[LadyChatts]

Yeah Amber, I'd look worried, too.

Just not Yul.  Please not Yul.

Masterful by Jeremy!  Eagle eyes.

How are you watching? I think you’re about thirty seconds ahead of me.

Amber is in danger. Meanwhile, Lex pitches the biggest tent in his pants.

Edited February 13, 2020 by Lantern7

[wallflower75]

I may not care for him, but I gotta give props to Boston Rob for that win.  He literally willed the team to it.

[PaperTree]

"Hey Tony! Pay attention!

[cleo]

Rob may have dad bod but he did more than Jeremy in that challenge. I thought he might phone it in a little but nope.

I want Amber out.

[truthaboutluv]

Yes Rob, you're absolutely right that her target is because of you. Because I firmly believe that if Rob wasn't playing, no one on that tribe would be worried about Amber. 

[Daisy]

if the team is smart, they'll vote out Amber. 
Sandra's pretty much all "I want revenge." and Yul is smart, so this makes sense. 

[wallflower75]

That's what I just wondered!  I thought maybe I'd accidentally hit the rewind button on my TiVo.

[vb68]

It's Team Sandra vs Team Rob for me.

It will be awhile if ever that I remember the actual names.

Thanks, Canada (and Global TV I guess!)

This. Dude literally threw half the damn tribe over that log roll. And kudos to Jeremy coming through with the ring toss. 

[Lamb18]

Adam's twitching boob was gross.

[festivus]

If they're smart they'll vote out Ambuh.

[mojoween]

This is why Rob stays and stays and stays, because he is a master at challenges.  And I was rooting for him, and immediately felt guilty for rooting against Yul.

It would just be a lot easier for me if they were on the same damn tribe.

I just go based on their colors.  I can't remember the tribes names, either.

[Lantern7]

So . . . who does Natalie offer the idol to?

We really need to get him and CT together.

[LadyChatts]

Tony asks if anyone wants to volunteer to be voted off.  Someone asks if he wants to do it and he says no.

It's been so long, Yul had to ask what happened next.

[Lady Calypso]

And....like, five different names just got thrown out in 30 seconds.

[Growsonwalls]

Amber has aged much better than Rob. Just sayin' ...

[Daisy]

wait? what?! 
SANDRA! yesssssssssss

[EllenB]

I noticed when they were jumping off the platform into the water, most of the women looked like they're in good physical shape.  The men, though, are mostly divided between squishy and bony.
