Like, Noura sucks but it wasn't her that got the vote flipped, it was the middle of the tribe who wanted to take over because they didn't like how obviously those other 3 were sitting on top. I do think there were some insecurities involved in targeting Molly, some of the things they said about her being Parv etc were... curious. But big move by Lauren for setting up this flip and putting her faction in power.

You can dump two outsiders and still have 5-3!

There was something brewing between Queen Molly, the guy who would be King and Jack that wasn't really telegraphed to us but it was enough to stage a preemptive coup. Jason and Noura are still pocket boots moving forward.

No they aren't, they're considered pocket boots for so long until they get the people at the bottom of the next alliance to work with em. I'm saying 100% Nora makes the merge. I'll be surprised if one of the remaining "cool kids" isn't next to go.

The King and the Jack are for sure in the cross hairs for next bounce, I agree. But I don't see Noura making the merge... she's just that annoying.

Noura is going to be the person who, in a tribe swap where her tribe is up 4-3, flips to the other side and makes the merge.

Plus, once unlikeable turd makes it to merge, they're also prime goats. Being that annoying is a fuckin asset. I don't think it works out if you do it intentionally, but it very often works out if someone is just naturally obnoxious. Hell, she already got them under yoga voodoo. That's a Coach move pretty much.

Did Molly do something wrong? She caught an astonishing amount of heat for being popular after 4 days and not even voting someone out. I love Noura's mix of crazy and vindictive. Great TV character. lol @ the ladder ineptitude.

Entertainment Weekly interview with Molly had me lol: EW: Molly, you did not appear to get along with Noura well at all. What was it like living with her out there? Molly: I think watching the show gives you a very good idea of what living with Noura was like out there.

Molly's great and it's a bit of a shame she was cut so early, but there are a lot of great players out there (except Noura) so ah well. Might be good to see her back again eventually. I don't think she really did anything wrong, she just didn't have the Elaine luck of having people ready to defend her from the vote. I think we know that Noura has no chance of winning, so I'm just going to lie back and see if she's gonna just last long enough (re: Natalie Cole), or last way too long.

As a west-coaster who watches on hulu live, we get the east and west coast feeds of TNT so our plan is to watch AEW at 6 and then survivor at 8, so that might be an option for anyone in a similar spot. Also, absolutely love this season so far even if it seems kind of bad. I think noura is a major fuckin goof and obviously as viewers we get like 5% of what's actually happening but i'm really impressed that the votes came together to get molly out. I guess (as Fast Luck said) you can only be SO OBVIOUS about a group of three "in power" in a ten-player tribe. I like this season enough, rob and sandra are great, wish they would stop spoiling the episodes IN THE EPISODES but, whatever. it's tiding me over until s40.

Those three seemed a lot tighter than the others in the tribe, and I can see them wanting to break that crew up early before they get a hold on things.

I guess I kind of understand why you'd target a person you think has a scary social game... but "all of the guys around her finger" ended up being literally just 2 people. They hadn't even voted someone out yet!! I think this was a huge mistake for the middle of the tribe, like Kellee and Tommy. Like, were Kellee and Tommy THAT intimidated by Molly??

After Francesca, I think the earliest returns were Kelly Wentworth (5th voted out) and Monica Culpepper (4th voted out, 5th eliminated due to the first boot being a medevac).

Maybe they were all a bit eager for a big reaction, but straight up, spices is one of the best rewards. If anything it's just kind of early, two days isn't really long enough to get sick of coconut and rice. Coconut and rice are loving delicious, but anything gets old after too much of it for a while. Question for you Masked Singer fans, are y'all just suckers for singing competitions or does that show specifically do something interesting beyond that? Obviously they mask the singer, but other than it's just people singing right? It keeps coming up here, usually in the same breathe as wrestling, which I don't watch but understand watching. I'm just curious and it keeps coming up in this thread, in that manner. If it's masked singers duking it out, that'd make a lot of sense, but if it's just people singing idgi Khanstant fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Oct 4, 2019 |

It's fun to try and guess who's behind the mask and also see famous people just sort of let loose because nobody knows it's them. The whole show just sort of has this addictive energy to it that I've never really got from other competitions, it's more of a talent show vibe than a competition since I don't think there's an actual prize other than a trophy. Also what other show is gonna give me a chance to hear Gladys Knight sing songs by Sia, Bruno Mars and Miley Cyrus edited in some video links IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Oct 4, 2019 |

Thanks for the answers, that actually makes a lot of sense. Also, this bee costume is loving dope as hell, I love costume design and I'll pay for the DLC for whatever videogame it should end up in. The novelty of distinct singer singing other distinct singers' music is itself way more entertaining to me than people competing to sing as good as your mom. Someone should tell the judges it's rude to talk over someone's performance, though.

Jeff knows they're making a TV Show and we always hear of ways he got really pissed at contestants for not respecting that. I can absolutely see people lightly clapping and kind of "whatever!" faced about it and then Jeff demanding another take where people actually look excited and then he reacts to that for the show. This show is also trying to convince us Rob and Sandra are just hanging out on that island 24/7 waiting for contestants to teach. Even Rob C has said that's the case as far as he knows.

Yeah maybe but that's not how it strikes me. I totally believe that he gets pissed about people not respecting what they're trying to accomplish, mind you. I just don't think he would want something that fake on the screen. There are 24-36 hours to edit into 45 minutes - there's plenty to show without resorting to that. I know they can redo stuff like "come on in guys" scenes when things go sideways, but this is different. I could be wrong. I just think Jeff loves the thing too much

I know he's biased in his own way, but I've been listening to Shane Power's podcast for a few months now. He is not shy about dishing dirt on how much of a little shitfit Jeff gets into when people don't cooperate with what he wants. and I hear a lot of the same here and there from more recent Survivors.

I wish I had citations for you, because it’s mostly a line or two buried in an several long hour interview. And it’s stuff contestants are mostly not allowed to talk about because its background production which has an NDA of five years. Shane talked about a challenge they were doing where your objective was to spell out a sentence using blocks. His team’s blocks were different than the other team’s blocks and impossible to solve because of it. When his team pointed it out, Jeff went on a long angry tirade about how they’re always trying to muck up their show and never willing to play ball and yahta yahta yahta until they actually checked the blocks and realized they hosed up. He apologized. Corinne’s podcast had a lot of hidden gems too but man the rest of that podcast was hard to sift through. Does anyone remember who talked about Jeff cussing people out at tribal for being vague and trying to protect their games? Maybe that one just comes up a lot from so many people. The point is is that they are making a TV show. They know they’re making a TV Show. Conversations get re-shot. Unflattering moments of production get cut. Things get edited to tell a story. No one has ever been that excited for the spices reward and it’s not the first time this season where reactions seemed disingenuous and exaggerated.
