When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world Diabeetus.

This is how you do it. Lean into it and it'll be dropped and you'll be remembered fondly. Hannah did the opposite and she's gonna be nailed to the cross forever by fans.

Cops and lawyers on survivor always lying about what they do because their professions are shameful

On a British gameshow earlier this year the host asked a contestant what they did. When they responded “I work for the emergency services” the host immediately said “so you’re a copper, because if you were a fireman or EMT you’d have said that”. It was quite funny.

As an autistic woman, Emily really seems autistic IMO. Which isn't to say you can't be good at the game if you are, but she's showing a lot of characteristics that make autistics in general awful at it.

Hmm, they should just do this sometime. Have a beware advantage that hurts the entire tribe. Make it up to the person that found the advantage if they tell the tribe why everything is going bad...

Maybe Jeff tells a tribe a tribal, "A member of your tribe opened pandora's box, and now your tribe has to solve a harder puzzle to win immunity."

Beware advantage where none of your original tribe’s votes count but yours unless they vote for you. It lasts until the final 6 or you admit you have it.

I think if they're between the goobers of Brandon, Jacob Derwin or Daniel Strunk, they're probably more likely to bring back Strunk since he at least failed in a strategy sense and is less likely to die by day 6.

Brandon's funny behind the safety of a screen but you can say that about a lot of Survivor nerds, like Hannah or Gabby or (maybe) Cochran.

I'm so invested in the yellow tribe. Emily's redemption, Brandon being bad at everything, Sabiyah running things with no vote, the immunity idol being in a candle when the they haven't had fire in days? The best comedy on TV right now.

The wax candle idol is unintentional comedy because in most tribes it wouldn't be that hard to melt it down eventually, but they just happened to give it to a tribe that has a batting rate of 0-3 in challenges in an era where your flint is taken away from you if you lose.

I don't know if they stacked Yellow that way to have that bad a challenge rate and then give that tribe the wax idol, but gosh.

I guess since beach and the fact they sometimes struggle to make fire even with flint, doing the rubby stick method is logistically difficult, but are they even allowed to make fire if they haven't earned flint? Can't remember if any of them had glasses but always vaguely figured glasses could be possibly used as a lens for fire starting?

I don’t think the show has shown anyone try it in the lose your flint era, but previous seasons have had people make fire without flint both using sticks and glasses.

Yeah it's something I'm surprised more people haven't come ready for now we've had 2 years of potentially not having flint.

Part of the issue is fire isn’t required anymore. They have potable water and aren’t given rice so boiling water isn’t necessary.

It’s a show off skill that doesn’t really improve your game. You’ld be better off improving swimming or common puzzles or just quickly making fire with flint. Or if you want something that improves camp life and not necessarily game life I think learning how to make a good shelter would be a greater benefit to you/your tribe.

there was 100% a scene of brandon and someone trying to make fire with his glasses but I can't remember if it worked.

Brandon and Emily were trying to make fire using his glasses when the boat showed up. It didn't work, but he said something like "I think I see a little smoke" so maybe he was getting close. Either way the result was no fire.
