I think all of y'all are underestimating the impact that pre-game alliances are going to have on this season. I'm cold on Kim not because she's seen as a threat, but because she's not a part of the "community" and surely doesn't have the relationships with the necessary people. There are a lot of poker players on this cast...that is important. They are all friends. There are a lot of people who have played previous all-star seasons together and have a rapport. That is important.

She literally played poker with Rob, Tyson, and Jeremy .

I haven't watched survivor in at least 6 or 7 seasons but I'm sorely tempted to come back for this one. Really pissed off they didn't bring Cochran back though.

Both spoiler sources and Probst have said that they asked Cochran and he declined, probably because he figured he'd be an early boot

At first I was displeased that Ben was on but if he's gonna be a clown bumbling around with no idea what he's doing I'm OK with it. High chance he flames out JT in Heroes vs Villains or Game Changers style the way he's going.

Rob and Sandra tension over him not telling her that he was going to be on S40 is 100% real. Inside sources have confirmed it, Rob literally told Dalton Ross in pre-game press that he did not tell Sandra he was on the season (and that he wanted to target her), Sandra told Dalton Ross pre-game that she didn't know if Rob was on, Sandra says on TV that she was upset Rob didn't tell her that she was on the season, at the CBS panel a week ago there was clearly still tension between Sandra and Rob when they talked abut it in front of a live audience. I wrote a post documenting all this on reddit.

tl;dr: Occam's Razor, if Rob and Sandra seem upset at each other it's because they actually are, instead of being some secret conspiracy.

Personally I think it is very poor gameplay on Rob's part to not tell anyone beforehand that he and Amber were on S40 or make any pregame alliances despite being told by Sandra that pregame alliances were critical in Game Changers, and then target Sandra right off the bat. Sandra was perfectly right to go after Amber, Amber and Rob both said pregame that Sandra was the #1 person that they wanted to get out which completely baffles me. They needed all the allies that they could get!

I have a feeling Cochran would have been a big target on this season, almost as big as Boston Rob and Sandra, so I understand his reservation in coming back. Should have still done it though

You could tell that Sele was going to tribal if you follow the edit closely. All of the Dakal content was spread out across multiple people, just like last week when half the tribe talked about Tony's ladder because they only had limited time.

Rob is not winning poo poo this season, it is clear he is not dictating the vote on Sele and it is only by the grace of the other players on the tribe that he and Parvati are still in. He also completely blew the pregame making an enemy out of Sandra when that could have been easily avoided. I doubt he lasts much longer in this season.

What are the odds that even though they are in the majority they gently caress it up and turn on each other? Has to be very high right?

Why did the big group not split the votes 3-3-3? If Kim had correctly deduced that it was Tyson and Michele had not flipped they ran the risk of getting one of theirs sent home...

Why were Nick and Michele on totally different sides of the vote? Were they on the same page after all because they voted together???

This episode was a loving mess.

I have only started to watch Survivor in the last few seasons, so I don't know who anyone is outside of Nick (and then Boston Rob and Sandra because of last season), but Tony is rocketing up to my favourite player. He is just chaos. Then next week they show him hiding in the trees? How can you not love that?

Watch his original season (season 28 - Cagayan)

Because he has a lot of flash and pizzazz, people really underestimate Tony's social game. Everyone seems to like him on both seasons. Even Yul was like this guy seems pretty cool and they could not be any more different as people.

This cast is full of married people with kids, if Natalie or Michele played a demonstrably better game than Sarah or Tony then it wouldn't matter but I think it'll make a difference. People gonna want to reward the person with kids with $2 mill over Michele.
