Jelinsky is the kind of guy I wouldn't trust to not drown in the rain. Holy poo poo, I've worked with guys like him who think they do hard work and are amazing and you feel gaslit that they think that.

It really upset me for people to want to keep him instead of Jess, back to back to back gently caress ups and it took tribal where he again, hosed himself for him to get a unanimous vote. Jess, win this whole thing out of pure spite, please.

I don't know if it's intentional or what but drat can they stop talking to the Survivors before Tribal and they have a really great idea what to do at Tribal that makes a LOT of sense, only for them to vote the most boring way possible.

The Tribe at least had a bright idea that yeah, Kenzie is already playing the game super hard and she's going to drop them like a bad habit if she makes it to a merge, still went with the Jess vote.

I genuinely felt bad for Jess, she got put on a poo poo Tribe that just didn't even give her a chance, I did admire that she says: "You know what? I got a family that loves me, a husband that loves me, I'll be fine." Having her hunt for an idol and it's half the team doing it, she knows at least something is up. That poo poo was mean spirited, not even worth doing, and made me glad these guys will get steam rolled, unlike the last season with a similar setup.

Is saying: "Let's go to the final tribe with an all girl alliance" just an absolute death knell for the people trying to do it? On paper, yes it absolutely works, in reality, it has never really worked because there is always one or two that are like "Ya know those boys know what they are doing."

It really feels like this and last season they were testing something. You had a complete garbage no way in Hell tribe on both, the previous season it was really rough and you felt genuinely bad for them losing and just wanting it to merge/end already. Now you have a team that is in the same boat, but you want them to lose so bad. You have the world's tallest quitter, a man with a very vengeful god to keep him in play while he wails on the rocks that everyone is against him, a lady who was cloned from "My Girl" who plays the game in circles around her team, they all know it but keep her, another girl who takes advisement and can make good moves but will go with the most boring one, and a man who refuses to lose, yet loses constantly. I don't include Jess in this because she was a decent person but also didn't really play the game.

They probably didn't expect the tall guy to implode so badly out of the gate. He probably would have been good enough to at least get them a 2nd place in one of the last 2 challenges just due to his height being relevant in both.

Well yea it’s happened for the past like 5 seasons because one tribe somehow has all the losers on it and can’t win a challenge.

It's boring to watch, I know there are two other tribes but outside the really obnoxious spam email lady, the swiftie, the Metallica guy, and everyone hating the girl that's pretty we don't know poo poo about them. It's kind of baffling we're focused heavily on the losers but it takes about 4 weeks before you start actually seeing the ones that are really the focus for the season.

I get that he had a positive message, but he's praying to his vengeful God, only to tell him to piss off thirty seconds later. Dude didn't need survivor, needed therapy. He wanted to dedicate it to all the Bhanus out there, man if that's his best, that was the worst role model ever.

It feels like this may have been less miserable and more entertaining if it was just two tribes. Because these last few seasons always have a losing tribe that just gets beat down to death.

I know everyone loves Australian Survivor, I admit myself as well, but a lot can be said about why everyone likes it. It's back to basics Survivor without all these other weird advantages/disadvantages in play that can be annoying to keep track of and just bogs down the whole thing, along with a longer time on the island to get to know each other, makes for way more entertaining TV rather than people that come on the US version who have a game they want to play, and will do it hardcore, rather than developing into what they want to do cause the time is so short for them.

Ok so it's impossible to watch on Paramount+. I just tried to pull it up, cause I missed it last night, last episode I watched was episode 2 of this season. When you try to scroll through episodes on Paramount, it now lists them in a variety of episode 1s followed by episode 2s. Whoever is over this app needs to be put on an island with Bhanu and forced to praise him.

i just now got around to hearing Rob speculate that maybe also that vote flipped against Jem when Tim got back from the journey and said, "Hey Maria, I just got you into a 6-person alliance for merge." Don't wanna do a split on Tim/Ben after that.

Another random thought was that Jem leaving out that beware advantage, if she did actually get away with it and put suspicion on Tim, made people think they can't vote Tim and had better split onto Ben or just vote Ben, made Charlie say hey I really don't want to lose Ben, made Jem go

Jem discovering she could lie without laughing just triggered something in her to go full hog and she paid for it. If she had played her idol or had lasted another episode they probably would have voted her off anyway because the idol would've proven she's the one that she did that beware advantage trick and everyone was pissed for digging for nothing.

She's severely allergic to coconut and a bunch of other stuff. One of the metas in a normal season reward situation is for the winner to choose people who haven't gone on one before or in a long time. So it's already just a normal play. Here someone is starving. Just bring her, she's as likely or more to work with you as Kenzie!

I changed my statement after I learned she's allergic but even then it seems loving stupid to come into a game that is based around eating the things that would kill you. If myself as a diabetic can't play for obvious health reasons, why let someone that will die here eating anything on the show?

I could never be on this show because I would have enough self awareness to not do this. Anything Liz has done in life up to this point is now gonna be overshadowed by the blowing up on TV over Applebee's.

She blew up about Q "ruining her game" despite her having literally no game. Q has done nothing to her other than existing as a force of chaos and her then sheepish half apology after that, yeah I guess it's an interesting perspective.

My theory for endgame is Liz and Q at the final tribal as the goats, and whoever is the third wins.

Also Jeff said specifically in this episode that there was gluten free pizza so Liz could eat.

If Charlie ain't eliminated he's got the huge rear end appeal of being a Swiftie and a nice guy overall.

So I finally got to sit down and actually watch the episode. Maria wanted Q over Liz 100% to keep him happy, own that decision, don't get all indignant when someone calls you out on it, it looks more respectable than you saying bullshit about who really needed it.

Venus was dumb as poo poo as well, they have all had her name on their lips, why think you can hold onto it? You know Q has at least some allies and no other name comes up and you even SAY you don't want to go home with it?!

Meanwhile, Liz can't have enough attention and did by far the dumbest vote despite her supervillain nemesis Q, she voted Venus and it made zero sense.
