And what does it matter to Kyle if he burns them and then doesn't get their vote?  What good will their vote do when they banish him to the jury?

He'll get the votes of those who want to see Joe and Eva go down, at least.  Cedrek, Chrissy, David, and probably Star, no less.

[iMonrey]

Oh Kyle, this game isn't for you. Be more like Eva and Joe! They don't give a shit about hurting people!

[Lantern7]

Whuh oh. Deus ex Motorboat.

[Straycat80]

Oh wow they are actually doing something other than obsessing about Mary eating all the coconuts. Fishing. 
There’s a boat, stop fishing. 

[LadyChatts]

I really hope this season doesn't set the precedent going forward where it's feel good friendly vibes, honesty and integrity, people afraid to hurt feelings, and we go from Survivor to Camp Snoopy.

[Rodney]

A journey!

[Lantern7]

Let the speculation run rampant about Eva getting the purple rock.

[dizzyd]

Ugh on the journey. Of course its Eva, ugh! Let’s just stack her with advantages shall we!

[Rodney]

Eva got the purple rock.  She's going on the journey.

[iMonrey]

Oh FFS.

[LadyChatts]

Of freaking course Eva gets the chance to go and get yet another advantage.  

These guys are too cocky and Mary seems too sure she's going so I am praying some blindside against Joe/Eva/Shauhin is coming.

[Rodney]

At least Eva's well aware of the risks.

[truthaboutluv]

Oh joy, Eva gets the purple rock. I can already see the social media comments from those who have been complaining for weeks now that the season sucks because it's become the Eva show. 

[LadyChatts]

So if Eva loses her vote she can't play her SITD, but are her other advantages just allowed?  I know she said she wasn't worried about that part but I can't remember the rules for that.  So basically, she could excuse herself from TC, Joe could have immunity, and then would she possibly give her idol away just in case if it was going to be a 3/3 split?  

[Lantern7]

Wow, this game looks sadistic.

[Rodney]

Holy fuck.  She has the chance at the Knowledge is Power advantage?!

[LadyChatts]

Also is there no idol hidden at the merged beach?  If so why is no one looking for it?  

[mojoween]

It’s funny how I actually haven’t cared about Eva one way or the other up to tonight, but now suddenly everything she does is working my last nerve.

[Pepper the Cat]

I’d fall flat on my butt trying to spin the table

[dizzyd]

Is anyone else trying to reach through the tv to knock it down? She’s already on level 4. 

[Rodney]

She's taking the right approach.  Slowly and gently.

[DEL901]

With all of her advantages the smart play is to stop at 4 levels.

[Brown44]

Does everyone other than Joe know she has an idol? Nobody has been bothering to look for one in 3-4 episodes.

[LadyChatts]

Is there a reason they keep showing that one tile?

[Lantern7]

Listen for rustling in the bushes. That’ll be Probst smacking it around watching Eva.

Uh oh, Eva’s getting greedy.

Nope, spoke too soon. She backed off. Right decision.

Edited Thursday at 12:31 AM by Lantern7

[Rodney]

She can pretty much stay in one place now.

. . . Ooh!  She's going for it!

Just now, LadyChatts said:

It might be the loose one that's going to fall.

. . . No.  She's not doing it.  She's stopping.  She's simply preserving her vote.

[Straycat80]

Well she did the right thing and kept her vote.

Not yet, but I might have been better off in a position where my remote remained MIA

[LadyChatts]

I was hoping that one tile was going to be her undoing.  

I will once again say she is coming off way too arrogant.

[Rodney]

Everyone does.  Star gave her the idol that she found in front of everybody, so it's public knowledge.

[iMonrey]

Wait, didn't it say she had to have four levels by the time the hourglass ran out? She knocked them all down and there was still sand in the hourglass.

[Brown44]

Wait? Everyone knows she has an idol and nobody is trying to flush that out? She can use it for Joe if she needs to.

[LadyChatts]

And what good would the KIP done for her when no one else has anything?

I hope Mary doesn't give up.  

[Straycat80]

Mary is getting a lot of airtime, this has me worried. Has Mitch been shown at all? 

[Rodney]

Here come Shauhin's delusions.

[LadyChatts]

Have these people never watched Survivor before?  People have been blindsided out of the game with 2 idols before!  That's usually been a target to get people out, not keep them in.  

[Lantern7]

I’m convinced Mary would have gotten eight levels of tiles. She would’ve found a way to secrete her own glue to keep the tiles in place.

I was thinking the same thing.  Fingers crossed.

[LadyChatts]

And Shauhin thinks he's playing the better game...but also doesn't want to be in the driver's seat because it's the scariest place to be.

[truthaboutluv]

Both Kyle and Shauhin are playing scared right now - afraid to pull the trigger on the blindside in case it doesn't work and then the target's on them. But at this point, playing safe is not going to get them the win.

Which is precisely why he's not playing the better game.  What's the point of having these relationships if you're not going to, you know, use them?  F7 is a great time to use them.

At the very beginning where he said now might be the time to make a move.  Instead of last week when maybe they could have pulled something off.

I am hoping we are going to be surprised but my feeling is this will be such an obvious Mary vote that they are just pretending Joe/Eva might get blindsided.  Kyle looks like he's too wishy-washy and Shauhin thinks he's a mastermind but wouldn't know the definition if it came up and hit him in the face.

If you aren’t first you are last, LOL.  And he is going to be last if he waits any longer to take Joe out.  Just like Kyle, they can’t win against Joe, and the clock is ticking to get him out.

[iMonrey]

Three people have now said Joe is the favorite to win. Joe. Not Eva. Interesting.

[Rodney]

Immunity Challenge!

[Lantern7]

“Survivor Wheelbarrow”? That sounds new. Too bad we end on an arch puzzle.

[dizzyd]

I like new challenge. Already had sushi for lunch. I really want Mary to win

Edited Thursday at 12:41 AM by dizzyd

[Rodney]

Oh, a reward, too!  Sushi, chicken teriyaki, noodles, iced tea, and chocolate cake!

This is seriously the theme of the season!

Chrissy had the chance to possibly make a move but didn't do it because getting Sai out was more important.  Then she wants to play Survivor!  And got voted out, but yet she knew who the real threats were in the game and didn't try to go after them.

Mitch had a chance last week to make a move, but didn't like Star so it was more important to take out a non-threat when the real threats wouldn't see it coming.  Now he wants to play!

What are Kyle and Shauhin waiting for?  This is going to be their story on here.  Joe/Eva seem so confident they have a solid 4 this is the perfect time to get one of them out. 

[DEL901]

The arch puzzles favours the taller contestents.
