Jelinski seems pretty cool... Oh nevermind, the fucker put me in last place in the fantasy league.

Tevin, Soda, Bhanu seem like pretty decent people. Although I imagine it'd be hell sharing the camp with Soda in her full on summer camp vibes.

I really enjoyed that castaways normally try to hide that they're lawyers, but Hunter was more concerned about hiding his own camp background for fear of being made to sing

I hope that a unanimous vote against somebody who wasn't her will let Jess at least sleep for a night. That'll go a long way (as would winning immunity in the next ep). Thinking about Aubry having an early meltdown in her original season, but then getting a little bit of a buffer and taking it a long way.

Based on what we were shown - and it’s never enough to make an actual informed decision - I kinda agreed with the quit on Sweat. It looked next to impossible. You can’t ever quit that task though, you have to go all the way to the end

Bhanu at least seems like somebody who will see last episode and feel some shame about it. He’s too honest, too emotional, and he believes everything 100% the second he hears it, maybe the worst possible combo for Survivor.

I was really enjoying the closed captioning during the challenge because it was mostly just [DISTORTED SCREAMING]

Is there a way to look up info about these seasons without getting immediately spoiled? I looked at season 45 on Wikipedia and practically the second sentence has the winner. I googled another one and saw a survivor wiki but that also had the winner in the first sentence on the Google results page. I might have seen Pearl Island if it was season 7 since I only watched those first seasons.

I’d just ask here. It’s extremely difficult to avoid spoilers on wiki or anywhere else, and the show itself puts the most important players (including the winner) on the DVD covers / season art. Everybody here will be totally willing to talk about our dumb show, heh.

I could've gotten 1-21 pretty easily. 22-24 all blend together, I always remember Philippines is 25 for some reason. 26-38 would've been a problem.

Also am I just burnt out on this season or was that episode boring as hell? I would normally love a good blindside but it didn't feel very well-developed.

They continued to have raiding the other camp as a reward for challenges for many seasons, but not every season. I don't recall the last time they did that. But you're right, a big part of that was the theme for that season, and we haven't had a specific theme in the new era, so every season is allowed to blend together.

I think Kaleb did it last season

I don't think it's a flub for Charlie to have voted Venus in that one vote. Moriah played her shot in the dark, and in the SITD era everyone should truly not all be voting for the same person.

I agree with this but the actual flub was coming clean at the worst possible time after tribal.

It's relatively rare, right? We've seen dozens of people just as poor off as Liz manage to lose something they wanted and then not lose their poo poo about it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being emotional, but having a temper tantrum about it is pretty obnoxious and shouldn't have any place in a competition imo. Makes things super awkward for Q.
