Ron feels like the only real threat from the original Kama because he never really betrayed anyone but Joe (and I guess Julie this episode but he can probably spin it to include her again),
On that note, it’s kind of funny, we went into this episode with all those “packages”: Julie-Ron, Wardog-Kelley-Lauren, David-Devens... all pretty much blown up now.

Yeah, I'm hoping the last few episodes (how many are left?) are just full on scrambling.

Wardog has come off as more of a side show than a main character. He's someone you enjoy and laugh at, but not someone you actually root for. Though I guess that could just be a function of personality rather than edit.

Why wouldn't I root for the person playing the best game?

There's no chance that Wardog has been throwing challenges this whole time, right? Like even during the tribal portion of the game he seemed to suck.

Is Wardog the kind of person to throw challenges and then NOT brag about it during his confessionals?

Spergatory
Oct 28, 2012
There is no guarantee they'd air those confessionals if he did give them, because the producers explicitly do not want to undermine the challenge portion of the game by implying that not everyone is trying, let alone that it is sometimes even a good idea not to try. You'd be surprised (and probably saddened) at how many people watch Survivor mostly for the challenges.

He probably IS the sort that, if he were to throw the challenges, he'd throw them the best by being the absolute worst every time

so.........

People keep bringing this up, as if because Wardog looks like a reasonably fit guy, that he should be good at challenges.

But no, he's just bad.

At this point, Wardog's ineptness at the challenges is approaching 'olympic athlete' Crystal Cox level bad. According to truedorktimes, prior to this week where the challenges had wonky placements, Wardog statistically had the worst average placement in tribal + individual challenges ever

I'm watching an Australian Survivor spit challenge. These are the grossest things they do since cutting out the fear-factorish eat-some-guts, kind of stuff. Really it's not _that_ gross, except for whoever has to tend to the part of the contraptions everyone is spitting into.

Speaking of Australian Survivor. Looks like they liked the theme for last year and are doing Champions Vs Contenders again this year. And seems they are probably starting to film around now.

https://brinkofreality.com.au/2018/10/31/australian-survivor-is-back-in-2019-with-another-round-of-champions-v-contenders/

Which is actually interesting. Because from the Season 40 article that was posted earlier, the US Season 39 was also filming in April. Being that they are both filming in Fuji, I wonder how much / if any cooperation there is between the 2 countries Survivor productions?

Something I thought about this morning that we sort of overlooked: Kelly outing not only her own idol but her closest ally's idol immediately upon arrival at Extinction Island was incredibly dumb, no? She has to know that someone from that group is getting back into the game, and odds are it isn't someone who's going to instantly want to work with Lauren.

yea Kelly blabbing gives me a feeling she's mentally out of the game. Ron did great he traded julie's emotional game to cement Aurora's trust in him, Wardog blew up his alliance without cementing a parachute alliance likely wrecking his game.Rick Devins could go deep, Joey amazing could come back win a couple immunites and at the final three tell the jury they voted you out I feed you while we where all on extiction island.

Yes that was incredibly stupid and nothing stops the jury from yelling it out at the next tribal except they “aren’t supposed to talk.”

Kelley is presumably assuming that whoever is coming back from EoE is after the idol's expiry, though idk why that would for sure be true.

Yeah, but there's actually nothing that stops them from shouting it out at the challenge to get back in the game.

I don’t think Wentworth talking about Lauren’s idol is a huge deal. Jurors talk about that stuff in Ponderosa in other times and no one has ever blurted secret info like that from the jury at Tribal before. And by the time the next person comes back in the game idols will probably be over and even if they’re still good for another round or two there’s a good chance Lauren will have already played it.

It wasn’t smart but I can see why she did it. She’s played twice before and this is the first time she’s dealt with this limbo situation of being voted out but still being in the game in some way.

Ugh, champs vs contenders sucks but at least it's not returnees vs new players.

It would be smart if both Survivor productions shared setups, like, if they already have to set up X challenge, might as well the other use it too. Oh but it might throw people off in the conversion from inches to australian inches.

Someone from EoE could rejoin at any time as far as they know. Doesn't hurt her game at all but it's kind of a dickish thing to do.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Yeah, it might not matter but it was kind of recklessly lovely to Lauren. Obviously Wentworth was just frsutrated that she didn't use hers and probably didn't think about it. I think that took her out of game mode. She's too embarrassed that shes "the person who went home with an idol in their pocket" especially since her rep was always related to idols. She probably wasn't even thinking about Lauren or the game at that point.

Alec got uninvited from the reunion show last season and lost his appearance fee for something that was pretty small potatoes. If a juror blurted out game-tainting information they got from a recently eliminated player at tribal they'd at least get the same.

Wowza, Australian 2017 Survivor has a challenge where this dude's underwear fall off and him and some other dude are wrestling over football and they actually show his rear end. The tribe come and slap his butt when he wins, not-Jeff even tells him "nice cheeks." I was just caught off guard, seems like Survivor gets the censors out when someone has too deep of a wedgie.

Dumb question but... are idols in pocket null and void when you hit EOE Beach?

Like, could Wentworth go back with a buyback competition (a comp which is going to happen at some point) and still could have a live idol to play?

Or does all of that poo poo reset and Wentworth's idol goes back to the Still In Game camp for foraging and finding?
