Speaking of which, how is chicken and waffles a thing? The first time I ever heard of those two foods being put together was on Mildred Pierce. Is it some sort of regional thing? 

 

It's a Southern thing and it's delicious.

Southern thing or not...I think it's sorta underrated.  Especially if you're hungry...and might have had a couple too many specific beverages throughout a particular day

Chicken and waffles is very much an individual preference kind of thing; personally I love both individually, but am not super duper overwhelmed by the two in combination.  Kinda like chocolate ice cream and pizza, if you get my drift.

(Fried chicken and spaghetti, now….)

Sounds like a Zippy’s special! (I used to live in O’ahu, and this combination is very popular.)

And macaroni salad! Even if you hadn't said Zippy's or Oahu, the mac salad would have told me it was Hawaii 😛

Glad some other folks got the reference. 😄

So this is what I’m getting at when I say J&E’s attitudes are more complacent than prideful; it isn’t that they automatically assume they are better game players than anybody else - rather, they simply don’t realize their relatively cushy ride (to date, at least) is nowhere near the typical Survivor player experience.  To J&E, their cushy ride is the “typical”.

In short, Survivor’s Production team has just given us a master class in (a) how to create a privileged class, and (b) how players can benefit from privilege while simultaneously being unaware of its existence - and IMHO that’s more on TPTB than the players.

If you're just complacent, I don't think you then speak about the players below you, aka without your privileged status, with contempt.

I agree with Violet.  I don't think Joe and Eva are simply complacent.  They know that they are running the show.  If they didn't feel comfortable they wouldn't have acted so offended when Shauhin came scurrying like a little gossip girl to report to his masters what Mary just said.  I mean honestly, how DARE Mary try and play the game and preserve her place in it, instead of just rolling over and accepting that King Joe and Queen Eva have decided that it's time for her to go.

It was pretty apparent Star was leaving in the first few minutes because the editors finally allowed her to speak.

I still like everyone left. Even Eva. I still really, really want to see Joe win and will be sad if he gets booted, but I’d be happy for any of the remainders winning at this point. TPTB found a very likable (IMO) cast this season. 

I like all of them, too. I haven't read the forum much, but given history, it doesn't surprise me that Eva is getting hate for no apparent reason. I just have to laugh. She's just fine.

Kamilla is my favorite but I have enjoyed the season and wouldn't have a problem with anyone leaving or anyone winning. I wanted the Joe plan to work to further the KK agenda, but Star leaving was my second choice.

There are reasons. a.) she was a bully to Star and Mary. b.) she's being given special treatment by the show.

If you haven't read the forum, isn't it a little presumptuous of you to assume it's for no apparent reason?  I dislike her for what I consider to be valid reasons.  Star gave her an idol! (which was dumb) but Eva couldn't even be bothered to be friendly or decent to her.  We have spent large chunks of several episodes hearing about her autism and her challenges, ad nauseum.  The only way to get on this show these days is to have some sort of challenge, so what's so special about her?  Quite frankly, I'm bored by everyone's story.
