I don’t need a shoutout to Gabler.

Neither do I.  Worst New Era winner ever.

[Brown44]

The problem with this challenge for me is my hands would get too sweaty to grip (I'm a sweater)

Edited April 10 by Brown44

[Rodney]

Joe's starting to budge now.

[Lantern7]

They put in the URL for casting after Kyle brought it up. That’s beautiful. Well done, editors.

[truthaboutluv]

Okay, that bit was funny with Kyle knowing Jeff was prepping his "apply now" promo. 

[Rodney]

They've broken Gabler's record.

David finally budged a bit.

Damn.  A casting promo right now?!

I know some don't like this format but I do. One, it's great at shaking things up right at the merge, depending on the group. For example, Shauhin's "power" relies on having his allies voting with him. But what if they're not all together?

I also enjoy this segment of the show.  One thing I'd change is just merge after this segment

[dizzyd]

Ugh David!

[Carey]

What a battle!

[Lantern7]

Surprised Probst didn’t get Joe and David to drop shorts to determine a winner.

[MerBearHou]

Amazing amazing amazing job. Wow.

[gorgy]

I'm allergic to peanut butter, but spite is one my greatest motivators, so this challenge would be a tossup for me

[Rodney]

Joe drops!

Purple team wins reward!

[Straycat80]

That was impressive. 

[Pepper the Cat]

It really annoys me that Cedrik who only lasted 15 seconds gets to eat.

[iMonrey]

Way too long to stare at armpit hair.

Oh well. At least Sai doesn't get any reward.

With any luck, he’ll get voted out.

Since team reward challenges will probably be a thing, that'd be motive enough for me to vote him off.  I wouldn't want to get stuck with him on my team.

Ugh David!

Yup. And that's why some don't like all the puzzles, but I do, because they are a good neutralilzer in a challenge.

Because let's face it, David has shown no evidence of being a brain trust, so I don't see him being unstoppable in challenges that involve more than just strength. 

[Lantern7]

. . . and CBS doesn’t put in the Probst casting spot here?

Booooooo.

You want Probst to smack the PB&J from Cedrek’s hand, declaring that food is for winners?

We’re not halfway through the episode and we’re on the third page. Just FYI.

[Pepper the Cat]

Nah. They’ll keep him because he’s no threat.

[truthaboutluv]

The first tribal council will likely come down to Mitch or Sai and as Sai noted, since she clearly has nine lives, they'll continue to let her skate by.

Especially as Joe has already prepped his, "Mitch is too likable and has a story" argument. 

[jsm1125]

Shit, I don’t want Sai OR Mitch to go, and I can’t envision a scenario where both of them survive the night.

I wonder if Mitch being on the outs is more personal than the other players want to let on. He was too close to Charity? Well, she’s gone and neither of them ever had anything with anyone. His story is too good? So is Eva’s, yet Joe would be okay losing to her in the end. Something isn’t adding up for me here. 

[Straycat80]

I think Mitch and his empty stomach might be voted off. The other tribe, maybe Cedrick.

Now it’s fifteen seconds. Probst should just punch Cedrek in the nads.

He would certainly deserve it.

Why not...although one would assume he'd drop the PB&J on the ground within 20 seconds

Didn't David say last week he wanted to get rid of the puzzlers and keep the strong and mighty?  Now I see why.

Well this was certainly a challenge tailor made for musclemen. It's no surprise it came down to David and Joe. But to be fair the show doesn't do a lot of those.

I don't know, call me crazy but I think a Shauvin blindside might be coming. I just think highlighting him talking about controlling how the vote will go and all that is like "famous last words" on this show. And don't underestimate that Kyle/Camilla duo.

Yeah, they are the only two (so far) that have gotten any real screentime of people who could be in danger.  Star and Chrissy have been non-existent this episode so far, and I don't see Eva going.  Plus, more people have it out for Sai.

Heh, even Mary is calling Sai going.

I wish there was a way for them to throw a coup and get rid of David.

[Rodney]

David thinks that he's in the number one spot?  Yeah, I think that something's going to happen tonight.

If I can't lose David then I'd be fine seeing Shauhin get the boot.  Truthfully, I just want to see Kyle, Kamilla, and Mary survive from that group.  Since David is safe, I'm okay with Cedrek or Shauhin going.

[Rodney]

Cedrek seems like the obvious target, and David and Shauhin are so certain of that.

Oh!  But Kyle might want to take a shot at Shauhin!

Sai has nobody to help her.  She's an easy vote for this group.

Sai, if you want to survive, then maybe should try talking to Joe.  Or anybody.

Edited April 10 by Rodney

[Brown44]

If Sai did her stuff undercover and didn't talk so much (the wrong way) she'd be a great player.

[LadyChatts]

So I think Sai's group is going to be an obvious vote (which will be her).  The other group might actually be interesting.

[Rodney]

Weird how Sai, Mitch, Star, and Chrissy are all not thinking of splitting up Joe and Eva.

[Straycat80]

Sai really does have nine lives. How many times has the plan been to maybe vote her off and she’s still here? 

[Michichick]

He did it during the show after Kyle mentioned it.

I've been saying that since the 1st episode. They gotta bound that you can't keep them together.

Which is crazy, because what odds does Sai really have in this game?  She's the perfect person to sit next to at the end, and at the very least she might be an easy vote-off down the road.  Mitch might want to but doesn't have the votes.  Star seems to think she's in with her old tribe now when she has no idea they were all gunning for her.  Since we've seen next to nothing of Chrissy most of the season so far, I feel like she's just irrelevant and not voting smart.  

[Rodney]

Mary, Shauhin, and David are a group?  Never knew that.

To be honest.  It would be the right call to make a move on those two.  It'll go down as unpopular, and they'd take public heat for it.  That's unfortunate since nobody an established villain.  If this is yet another FVF season, a past villain making that move could & would take the heat

[Lantern7]

#Distracted

[Rodney]

Yep.  Kyle wants to take a shot at Shauhin.  Wants to recruit Cedrek.  Kamilla seems open to it.

Cedrek, you might want to trust Kyle on this, no matter how much scrambling must happen.

[Carey]

Since Survivor has been known to bring back past players: Wait until an alternate universe where Cedrek, Cirie, and Sandra are F3 within an IC to make F2

[Straycat80]

I’m surprised the guys don’t go after Kyle, he’s a huge threat. 
Oh, never mind mind, I think Shauhin is in trouble. 

[dizzyd]

I like the Kyle Kamila duo.
