Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

God drat, Debra's crazy.

I mean, there's "freak out over a teaspoon of sugar while food deprived, start all kinds of poo poo over it, and basically get myself voted out* over it" Survivor crazy. Or "I'm swallowing my anger or opinion so I'm maybe getting a little stir crazy and spiking stuff" Survivor crazy. And then there's Debra.

Even if it was partially put on, that's crazy in and of itself. She obviously didn't win any friends or better her tribe position with it. It seems more likely that she's legit Trump crazy. I look forward to her exit interview.

Glad JT went home. He played like poo poo and bizarrely got cocky a day after he hosed up and got his ally voted out and betrayed his tribe. At least he seemed to know it. Plus Michaela's awesome even if still seems like a miracle for her to survive this game. But I'm rooting for her.

Sandra/Michaela 2017!

Aubrey's position seems a little tenuous. Based on that extra scene that was posted a week or so it seems like she was trying to overthrow Sandra. Sandra and Michaela could see her as an enemy now. It might be close enough to the merge not to matter but it could be a thing.

Varner's really just a Kass-lite chaos player, isn't he? He doesn't seem to have a lot of strategy except to shake poo poo up.

After four seasons I still expect to one day find out Ozzy's birth name was Mowgli.

Hali seems to be ingratiating herself into her tribe and not suffering from that crazy tribal. That makes me happy. She's scrappy.

Those preview spoilers aren't something I love but I'm not going to spend a week worrying about it. This season's been great so far.

Debbie's meltdown quickly crossed the line from "funny Rodney temper tantrum over doing dishes" to "scary Brandon Hantz explosion where someone could get hurt." It was uncomfortable to watch, and I feel bad for Debbie, Tai, and everyone else on that tribe. :( I hope the (preview spoiler) tribe swap helps her mentally reset and move on from this.

ETA: But, on a brighter note, the JT boot was fantastic. Rooting for Varner, Sandra, and Michaela to run the tables to the Final 3.

I also have to give props to Malcolm. In all of his exit interviews, he made it seems like he never got to talk to JT post-game about last week's Tribal, which made me certain JT wasn't pre-jury. I don't know if Malcolm was lying just to plant a false spoiler and make this episode more surprising, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

I mean, I feel bad for mentally ill people and she came off that way. So in the big picture I hope she gets help if she needs it and lives well. But within the context of the show, I hate her. She lost her poo poo and lashed out at people because she felt bad that she hosed up the challenge and couldn't own it. So instead she rewrote reality and attacked others to make herself feel better. That sucks.

I hope Brandon Hantz is doing better now and has gotten help, but when I watched him on TV he was a creepy rear end in a top hat.

It sucks and you shouldn't let "crazy" people on Survivor if you think they might actually be mentally ill even if they seem funny. So instead lets relive the majesty of Sandra vowing revenge on JT and then in a matter of days more or less orchestrating him getting himself voted out by eating some sugar and instilling so much confidence in him that he went from desperately looking for an idol to being so confident he leaves his idol at camp in a couple of days.

Varner low-key did some great work making JT feel comfortable this ep, it was really understated but impressive.

Like, beyond the obvious agreeing with JT at TC, he lets out an unsympathetic "whoa" when Michaela talks about "JT running poo poo all the time", and then makes sure to catch JT's eye to give him a "get a load of this bullshit!" laugh.

It's good survivoring.

Man JT is bad at Survivor. You can't get played any more easily than he did, all it took was a little sugar and some backslapping from Sandra. He could have gotten her out if he just played the drat thing, not bringing it at all is even more puzzling.

In fairness, Debbie, at worst, was Lady Coach last time. This was a whole different level. And man I loving dislike her now. She reminds me of Elegant Elliott Offen from Howard Stern.

Oh my god, Hali dicking around for 10 frickin minutes riiiiiight?

I found Debbie really hard to watch on her first season too, she's just more of a disturbing kind of crazy than entertaining. Phillip Sheppard is one of my favorite players of all time because he was such a silly old dunce, but Debbie has none of that charm.

I'm really glad they're swapping again, because watching Tavua's members be utterly invisible was boring.

EDIT: The ultimate Chaos move Varner could have done would be to vote for someone else entirely, forcing a 2-2 tie and either forcing Aubry to vote J.T., or make everyone draw rocks. It wouldn't even burn him that much because Sandra would appreciate the mayhem, and Aubry can't do much in protest.

But.... he would have been 1 of the 3 players to draw a rock.

That doesn't seem like a wise move.

Why would he put himself in a position to get eliminated just for the hell of it?

I can't imagine people who would buy that crap. "I really loved the Green team that was in a couple episodes of a reality game show."

They should sell things like idol reproductions... or maybe reproductions of entire puzzle sets.
