Apparently Hannah was still doing nicotine chews/patches the days before the season started (like, when they were being sequestered at Ponderosa) and hiding it from production.

Well, she really could not have made it worse for herself outside of stealing a cigarette and puffing it in front of them.

I'm glad the snippet of amazing race the paramount site autoplays after every episode of survivor is different now. Got real tired of those Bavarian horns.

Am I the only one that cracked up at the "Bruce is not as funny as he thinks he is" montage on the preview for next week's episode? The cut from Katurah complaining about him to his goofy finger gun dance just kills me

I rolled my eyes hard because he reminds me of someone I know

In this case he's obviously overcompensating for the whole returning threat thing but god dang it looks obnoxious

Thinking back to both tribes failing Sweat/Savvy. There were some interesting interactions that might have come the tribes being paranoid that the participants threw S/S to get a private advantage. They even hinted at that with Emily.

Then Probst just told everyone at the immunity challenge that nobody completed S/S and defused any tension that might have existed, welp

And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still

If you're paranoid, saying they didn't complete it doesn't discount the possibility that the reason they didn't complete it was that they traded it for an advantage

"Nobody completed it" doesn't address super-paranoid-woman's worries about *why* they didn't complete it. 'Choose a personal advantage or a tribe advantage' isn't exactly unheard of.

I just realized if Jeff had let them vote it would’ve felt less like a hard quit and people would probably be way less mad at her. If they really wanted (and I would not like them to hide this) they could’ve cut the line she had about not needing to be voted out to leave. Leave in the rest with her asking to be voted out. Wouldn’t be nearly as controversial, wouldn’t be lying it even hiding anything as big as they did by editing Kendra out of the camp visit.

I can't unsee it now. Special Agent Bruce Scarn.

Edit: they're gonna have to do something, even if they lost the low performers, Lulu would still be screwed.

I 100% keep Emily here just to potentially buy more time before we have to eat another of our own. You keep Brandon and you could much more likely end up losing two more times, and then you have to vote out someone that matters.

Being able to swim is great but every single one of them was confused by the puzzle.

He wears glasses and is a nerd.

Also apparently he kept saying he's the puzzle guy and he's now failed three of them in a row.

They didn't blame Brandon that much for the 1 challenge. He's been total poo poo at every challenge.

Yeah, you can be bad at challenges if you're good physically and vice versa, but Brandon can't do either. The blame can't even go to Sabiyah because she wasn't the one who failed a solo puzzle challenge.

Also lol "I know how good I am socially" no Brandon you're not good at that either.
