[Rodney]

David really loves milk!  I do, too!

I couldn't understand why the two men didn't question Kamilla's vote for Thomas.   Maybe I missed it 

I thought I missed that, too.  Because I don't see how Kamilla can lie her way out of saying her and Kyle aren't working together when they voted together.  I wonder if any of them picked up on Probst not saying "one vote left" and speculating there was another vote in the urn (because that would have told Joe and Shauhin they had an extra vote too).

One I need lactaid milk and 2 it needs to be cold.

[Lantern7]

Is her name “say” as in “speak,” or “sai” as in the weapon?

[dizzyd]

I wish I didn’t have to see the close up of the disgusting nails while they’re eating. I guess they built the sanctuary so they have to use it. I like that they get decent rewards. No clue at sanctuary. But reward comes with everyone’s personal history. Why does survivor have to be about education and enlightenment?

I'm glad that the tribe is on Mary's side regarding her comments.

Now someone not on Charity's original tribe doesn't trust her.  That really says something about her.

[gorgy]

Star is stuck in the background which makes me a little sad

[Lantern7]

I’m seeing the Sanctuary stuff, so I know I’m getting closer to “live.”

Dolphins! Who doesn’t love those?

Same!  So does my younger son who has a big glass of milk every night.  When David said it was such a comfort, I totally got that.

She doesn't try to talk to people.

Ah, so Shauhin is Iranian.  I was wondering from where his name originated.

Milk reaction. Now I’m wishing I watch The Boys because those bits with Homelander and milk go over my head.

[Rodney]

Sri Lanka?  I thought that Kamilla was Guyanese.

I like Star, so I'm hoping she can make the merge and get a better standing in the game.  I'd like to see some more Lagi go home (besides her) so they can't influence voting her off, but I think it's getting crunch time for that.  Hopefully she can find her place among former Civa/Vula.

[Rodney]

So Joe is half-black and half-white.  Interesting.

There's an actual word for that, but I'm not sure that it'd be allowed her.

[Brown44]

An actual really good racial talk on Survivor. 

[MerBearHou]

This conversation about what their parents went through is one of the loveliest, most real conversations I’ve ever heard on Survivor

[LadyChatts]

And now Vula is a clear foursome (I'm guessing until the merge anyway).

[Rodney]

So now the four remaining members of nuVula want to be an alliance together after a talk about race.  Who knew that it'd that take to unite them?

Getting Natalie & Nadiya flashbacks.

Backstories are coming in hard this week.

[Rodney]

Wow!  Immunity Challenge already!

[Lantern7]

I’m live! And we got another challenge!

Two in the span of 35 minutes? That feels like a record for “modern” Survivor.

[PaperTree]

Seems early for IC

[LadyChatts]

Challenge time.  Either this emotional moment is going to get dragged through a commercial break or we have one heck of a TC coming up.  Or maybe a journey?

Hmm. I smell medivac.

[susannot]

Really great conversation in Vulu.  I notice that Kyle did not join in with tales of what his parents went through.  I am getting a privileged upbringing vibe from him.  Not that I hold it against him in any way!  He is my favorite and my pick to win.  Anyone know where he went to law school?

[truthaboutluv]

I feel like the new Vulu saying they could be a strong four was the sign that they're going to lose again. 

[dizzyd]

This episode is going fast. 2 challenges and no puzzles, I’m shocked.

[Rodney]

Civa smartly sits Cedrek out.

[gorgy]

we're getting some producer nonsense if immunity is this early

My mother is 85 yrs old in Jim Crow Alabama. There are millions of Americans that's still alive that lived thru the hard racial America.

I mean . . . I've given up hoping for a new challenge but can we at least have a new element in these recycled challenges? There's literally no part of this challenge they haven't done before.

I like him so much too.  Hr got his JD at U of Michigan.

[gorgy]

my thighs are too fat, too

[Rodney]

Ciga is out of last with Mitch getting through!

[LadyChatts]

I've seen tribes have trouble in these types of challenges before, and it's because they never dig a big enough hole to get everyone through.  

[Rodney]

Civa and Vula each have one!

[dizzyd]

Look at Vula go!

[gorgy]

I'd honestly be really good at this stupid game

[LadyChatts]

So Charity switched out with Eva but she still has to go?  

[Rodney]

Vula is close.

No one is doing well on Lagi.

[Lantern7]

Vula wins! Do you believe in miracles?!? YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!

[Rodney]

It took having new members, but Vula finally wins immunity!

[PaperTree]

Like how everybody must land a ball.

And Vula smokes it!

[LadyChatts]

Did Vula throw the challenge last week?  Because these 4 were strong on their old tribes and seemed to win the challenges today pretty effortlessly.  I know they came in 2nd in the RC, but still.  

[Rodney]

David finally lands one for Lagi!

Bianca gets Ciga's second one!

Charity gets Lagi's second!

[truthaboutluv]

Damn, nuVulu killed that last part of the challenge. Kudos to them.

[Rodney]

Mary is on fire again!  Lands the third for Lagi!

I like this rule, so it can't be just one person who is really good at this type of challenge being able to do the whole thing.

[Lantern7]

Eva is the autistic, right?

[Rodney]

Joe is comforting Eva from across tribal lines.  How sweet.
