Challenge time!  

Okay, that idol is really cool looking.

My tinfoil hat feels like they did this on purpose.  After the way this show has handled other scandals in the past, I don't trust them completely to have done this for the right reasons.

I would’ve had reservations about casting someone who was taking lithium in the first place.  A show where contestants will be starved and dehydrated for the better part of a month?  You could risk lithium toxicity.  There’s a reason people on the medication have regular bloodwork to make sure their levels aren’t too high.

[LadyChatts]

"We got a challenge now".  Except for the fact that blue tribe hasn't even started on the puzzle yet.

It's a wonder they don't all get hernias.

Give it time . . .

[LadyChatts]

Just under half an hour left in the show.  Predictable vote at TC?

I'm going to be very nervous for Rocksroy.  Or Drea, because Tori may have it out for her.  Please let it be Tori or Zach that goes.  

[Seelouis]

Jenny is a puzzle queen!

New Rule: Everyone participates in the first Immunity Challenge. Why bench people on Day 3?

Damn I’ve got sympathy pains for everyone in this challenge.

One way Survivor > The Challenge: if these people gas out, you understand it. You breathe hard on Devin and/or Fessy, you gotta call the medics.

I think they had to because the Orange Tribe only had 5 members.

I don’t think they would have had to sit out if Jackson hadn’t left

[DEL901]

The Orange team rocks and blue sucks.   And why didn’t green sit out Daniel.  I get that he was stronger than the woman, but not if he reinjures his shoulder.

Ouroboros. Not unlike Probst these days.

”Rocksroy.” Is that a nickname?

[Grover]

Drea has an extra vote, right? Please let her use it on Tori. Or Zach. I always root for the annoying ones to go first . . . and they never do.

I would imagine that's why he lied in the first place. 

I feel bad because I liked him, but if he really lied or intentionally hid something like that it is really his own fault he got pulled.

[iMonrey]

I wonder if the original plan was to have two tribals before Jackson got pulled.

I get that. I’m just thinking that this was a challenge where one extra person wasn’t going to make that big a difference.

[susannot]

As a former competitive swimmer, I always look forward each season to seeing who can swim.  So far tonight it looks like Jonathan.  Which is disappointing because he is a moose who is good at anything physical.  I wanted one of the women to be a great swimmer, like Shane Gould in Survivor AUS.

[Lantern7]

“I don’t have an idol.” “Sounds like something you’d say if you had an idol!”

[LadyChatts]

Can Tori please be the first one to go?

She's telling the group she doesn't have an idol, despite the fact she was hunting for an idol, and her cover story of looking for taro failed miserably.  She thinks it's stupid if she gets voted off for this reason.

Now Zach's worried his big mouth has Tori throwing him under the bus.

Not Rocks :(

I think that's a safe assumption. I think that's what they did last season.

I wish we could have seen MaryAnne explain the boat trip. Did she lie at all?

It doesn’t sound like he hid the fact that he was taking lithium—just that he was weaning himself off it.

[MerBearHou]

Lydia is going to burn to a crisp in that sun.

[Grover]

Rocks? Really? Drea, come on!

[LadyChatts]

Okay, Swati wants Zach out.  Yay Swati!  

Drea's being stubborn in wanting to vote Rocks out.  I think she'll regret that decision.  Romeo wants Tori.  Yay Romeo! 

I'm not gonna be lucky in getting Tori and Zach out.  I think Rocks might be digging himself a hole here.

[PaperTree]

This is looking ugly.

[DEL901]

Romeo is another one of those players who can only see what is best for his own game and doesn’t understand why others don’t agree. 

[iMonrey]

Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen. Place your bets now.

Whisper scrambling chaos at tribal?

[Grover]

Romeo's pushing too hard too soon. People who do that tend to get blindsided. Give it up, Romeo. (Of course, I wouldn't mind if either Zach or Tori got voted out -- which means someone else will. I'm never right.)

Rocks would knock their heads together if they do. And I'd cheer him on.

[vb68]

This tribe is a mess. I'm starting to get a Ulong vibe.

His name didn't come up, but I wonder if being stubborn in not wanting to vote for Zach ends up hurting him.  Seriously I'm not sure I was digging Rocksroy when Swati said 'Zach' and he wouldn't budge from that.  Coming up with a plan and saying you should stick to it, no matter what, isn't going to serve him well in this game.  

 

Okay, Zach can go.

[Lamima]

Kinda want Rocks to go. He is a bit over the top. And, yes, there will be out of seat whispering at TC. 

[ProfCrash]

A skinny guys alliance? Really? They started at 118 and 112? What the fuck? 

[LadyChatts]

Seriously, seasons that had Mountain Dew and Home Depot raining onto the camps were still harder than these current seasons.

[vb68]

Zach is a nerdier Rob Cesterino.

Who knew that was even possible.

[iMonrey]

They really seem to be telegraphing Zach going home.

Jeff asked him why he didn't disclose the information and he said because he thought he was going to get himself off it in time. That answer only makes sense if they didn't know about it in the first place and he thought they never needed to know.

It was hard to tell because Jeff was trying not to disclose any medical details and speaking generally.

[DEL901]

At least Zach took a chance and drew a rock. 

[LadyChatts]

Maybe I want Tori to go.  Not sure I can listen to her all season.

Okay, I want Tori to go.  Zach can go next time.  May she dig her own grave right now.

[Lantern7]

Who had “Throw Under the Bus” on their Bingo card?

[Grover]

PLEASE send Tori home!

[DEL901]

Other than maybe Swati, I don’t like anyone on blue. 

[LadyChatts]

I was actually rooting for Zach to be safe.  I've never changed my mind so much during a TC before.    

 

[Lantern7]

Zach is not safe! Will that blow up in his face?

[ProfCrash]

Shot in the dark on the first night. OK then. Not safe. Hope he goes home. I am pretty sure he was on my list of people I wanted out early. 

Cool can Tori go next? 

[Grover]

Buh bye, Zach. So much for being a superfan.

[dizzyd]

I can’t wait to see Tori gone! 😡

[LadyChatts]

Tori's facial reactions made me want to throw something through the TV.  She's way too confident and sure of herself.  Thankfully, she's not fooling anybody.

I like Romeo, so I hope he survives.  I hope Tori and Rocksroy are the next two to go from the blue tribe.  And here I actually liked Rocksroy two hours ago!

[iMonrey]

SECOND person voted out? Um, Jackson was not voted out.

Too bad. I liked Zach. It's not as if Tori is going to win this thing

I hope.

Unanimous vote! He did make the best move. If he got safety, things would’ve been awesomely chaotic.

”Second person voted out,” Jeff? 🙄

What about Christian?

[EllenB]

No, Jeffy, Zach was not the second person VOTED out.
