Unsatisfactory ending to tonight’s Survivor. Can TAR get the rebound?

[Pepper the Cat]

As long as no one quits!

[Lantern7]

Okay, so this is a separate leg. Or should it be considered a mega-leg because we weren’t supposed to get a non-elim this season?

[Grizzly]

What's with the taxi drivers wearing green ties?

[Browncoat]

Wow -- the tasks from last week must not have taken nearly as long as it appeared.  The first fruit boat left at 5:45am, right?  And the first team here left just before 9:00am.

Must be part of a uniform. The taxi phone number on the car is also in green.

[Browncoat]

Take off your backpacks while you're scooping fish!

[PaperTree]

The fish thing looks hard.

[Pepper the Cat]

The mattress challenge requires strength but I think it is easier then fish

[Lantern7]

Wow, Garrett bringing the perspective tonight.

ETA: Oops, that was Joel.

[Browncoat]

The mattresses look very straightforward, but I'd never be able to do that one.  I don't have the physical strength.

[PaperTree]

Brute strength vs. detail.

[Lantern7]

Cabbie has Luffy on his dashboard!

Anyone else expect pivoting on the stairs?

[EllenB]

Pivot!

[Browncoat]

Oh yeah, the mattress thing would kill me especially if I couldn't use the elevator.

[Grizzly]

Is this the same girl who enjoyed catching frogs?

[chitowngirl]

I would think the mattress task is going to be difficult if their heights are very different 

[Lantern7]

At least Steve can get a laugh at Anna Leigh’s expense.

[Ladybugnine]

How could they forget about the eels!

[Browncoat]

My hovercraft is full of eels.

[Lantern7]

One of them said “pivot”! It’s that good a reference!

[Browncoat]

Looks like there was only about an hour between the first and last teams.

[Lantern7]

They figured out the eels!!!

[PaperTree]

The fish lady is a riot!!!

[Pepper the Cat]

Love fish lady!

[Browncoat]

She's awesome!

[Pepper the Cat]

Fish task is not just an eye for detail, but the ability to deal with live fish

[Browncoat]

Were they told to keep their backpacks on while they're scooping fish?  I don't understand why they don't leave their packs where they're arranging fish!

Finally!  Teams leaving their packs!

[Lantern7]

Anyone rooting for a guy to freak the heck out over the fish?

Damn, that’s a lot of sweat.

[Ladybugnine]

I think I would definitely do the fish stand task.

[PaperTree]

Didn't realize those stairs were involved.  Yikes!

I would hate both, but that mattress one would kill me.  The fish one would just squick me out.

I might be a little squicked by the eels (they are slimy!), but I've worked with enough fish that the rest wouldn't bother me.

[Lantern7]

Team Facial Hair with all the feels this week.

[Browncoat]

Aww, that's sweet of their families to do!

[Pepper the Cat]

I love how they are showing the teams doing the fish as the teams doing the mattress pass on by

[Browncoat]

That's a cool temple.  I liked the wish things, too.

I loved the guy using his beard to dab his eyes. 

[Lantern7]

Damn. Needle in a haystack time.

[Browncoat]

Ugh.  Needle in a haystack task.

And why didn't she leave her pack with her dad???  Wasting energy.

[Pepper the Cat]

OMG

[Lantern7]

Oh, so they can take their backpacks off.

[Ladybugnine]

Jeez, this Roadblock is tough!

[Browncoat]

There we go -- guys freaking out over the fish!

Wouldn't it have been nice to have the Express Pass for the needle in a haystack task?

[Pepper the Cat]

This match maker isntough

[EllenB]

The shrine stop showed interesting aspects of the various teams. Love the beard team, and I was pleasantly surprised by world peace dude. And the sisters were sweet.
