Okay but Kellychat. The only Kelly I really remember was Kelly Goldsmith from Africa, since she was bitter as gently caress but actually had good reason to be. One of the many casualties of Lex's Tummy.

Kelly needs to hide more. She's hosed if she stays the visible 'mastermind'. If she finds her Juan Robert she'll win the game.

You've got drewdawg voting himself which is sort of fitting and may have been done on purpose.

I just feel like so much progress in survivor tactics has been figured out over the length of the show. And then a vote like that happens and whelp guess we're all newbies again.

Still, looks like we've got some sweet as players today. Kelly, Jeremy,

When Natalie was imitating Keith I thought - welp, there she goes again, defining people by their most easily identifiable stereotype and mocking them in front of them


and then I realized I was thinking of her sister…….

so, basically, he and Josh are the same player.


I had a hard time coming up with a list of Survivor players dumber than Drew, so how about Things On Survivor Smarter Than Drew:

sea cucumber
a coconut
Lisi
barfing eel
whoever it was on RI who couldn't figure out how to start a fire when they were holding a burning lamp

Josh is just thinking a bit too hard. Jeremy has a serious inability to know when to shut the gently caress up and takes everything personally.

Kelly from season 1! The one who came in second. I know there have been at least 2 others but damned if I know.

That was a fun episode. Drew is so stupid.

Expanding further on Kelly chat, there have been a lot. Nicaragua x2, Samoa, Gabon, Borneo, Africa, and San Juan Del Sur have all had a Kelly. Possibly more but I'm being lazy.

After tonight's episode, I'm rooting for Kelley.

Drew's brother is still there and based on his confessionals tonight it's obvious he and Drew were cut from the same cloth.
Don't underestimate the stupidity in this kid, I think he has enough up 'n dumber potential to surprise you!

I don't see Jeremy as playing some great game so far. He runs his mouth a lot when he's emotional which tends to be all of the time but he's playing a floaters game at the moment and is just biding time while bigger dummy fish implode around him. That tactic won't work forever.

Rewatching China, my first love.

I forgot how much game the not-Todd players had. Nobody played as deep as Todd but there was a lot of hustle.

But I think Todd had won the game episode one when he said "Hey Mike, you should be our leader because you're smart and capable."

Holy gently caress that vote lol.

Jeremy doesn't vote for keith but then jon does? How the gently caress does that even happen? I laughed so hard when jon was like wow great work to the girls when they didn't even do anything except not explode spectacularly.

Whoever said it was like a vote out of the first season was right, I had the same thought... just incredible. If things stay this dumb maybe my opinion of this season will turn around. I won't be able to enjoy it on a strategy level but it's like two tribes filled with philips.

It's

Drew: Kelly, Natalie, Jeremy, Julie, Misty
Julie: Reed, Keith
Keith: Jon
Kelly: Drew

How did that come about? Well:

Drew told the guys to vote out Kelly and they all told him they would do that, but never planned to.
Jon sees that Jeremy has a lot of pull and switches from Julie to Keith to look like he supported Jeremy.
Reed and Keith are not informed of Jon's or Jeremy's plans and vote Julie. They think Jon's plan to vote out someone who is still a "pair" is on.
Jeremy gets told by his alliance from episode one that they want Drew out and he goes with it to stay on their side. They also could potentially have a suballiance of people without a partner in the game.


with next episode being tribe switch everything can happen. We still have 5 pairs that will stay together no matter what and 4 free agents. Overall the distribution is 6 girls 8 guys. The tribes will consist of 7 players. Misty and Baylor are probably positioned best because they both are in the dominant alliance of their tribes and are partners.

There was basically nothing smart about what anyone did last night, except the possible girls alliance of "well they think we have a girl's alliance so we may as well for today." I'm glad Keith wasn't aware of subaliances, and I'm fairly sure Drew didn't watch his Survivor DVDs because neither of them have a clue how to play this game.

You know why no one else wants to do those things dude? Because they're incredibly incredibly dumb.

I didn't think what's-his-name offering to trade the flint for something was dumb. There's nothing to lose but something substantial that you could possibly gain. Had it worked, those teammates would have been singing a different tune.

He's a meathead but I don't think just throwing out the idea of a trade was worthy of so much facepalming from everyone.

Keith sucks at idol hunting

Based on what? We saw 30-minutes condensed to 15 seconds for dramatic effect.

Oh look, Keith found it.

Drew saying there's a Guy/Girl split is creating a Guy/Girl split.

"All these bitches" - Classy Drew with Kelley right behind him.

There's no way Drew isn't going home unless editors are faking us out here. He looks so much like Alec that it will be nice to simplify everything so I can keep names straight.

There's a bug on Keith's shoulder at tribal.

Ha, he found it.

"I don't know whose name I should be writing down right now." - Way to go Jon. As long as the girls are united, they know they have it.

Of course it backfired on Drew.

Survivor Editors, not every vote is a #blindside.

...Jon voted Keith..?
