This is turning out to be a great season! I am loving these tribal councils and the redemption island bickering.

From FaceBook:

 

Burning clues to hidden immunity idols??? Funny, but I guess we won't see any idols this season unless somebody finds one without a clue.

 

Can't say I've ever seen that happened before. I completely understand why she did it though. Huge target.

The question is do Brad and Monica trade places as was hinted was a possibility in the previews for next episode? If so and Brad goes to the returnee tribe how long does he last there?

Agreed. Brad is smart and strong so good at challenges, but is a bigger target. Monica might be better off if Brad is totally out of the game.

Problem with the loved ones is that if your partner player is disliked, so are you, just by association. And there is nothing you can do about it.

I hope it doesn't get too cold at night. I don't see those two lovebirds spooning with Culpepper.

Watching now. Had to work last night.

 

I'm so over people being babies. Loving Brad Culpepper for playing the game.

 

This is why I am against post game handshakes.

:lol:

 

And they voted out Brad. They need a merger badly. Their team is doody. They'll lose a team member evey week. :lol:

:lol:

 

And Monica is gonna take his spot. :lol:

 

 

Go Brad Culpepper!!!!

That whole episode has to rank up there among the best ever on Survivor. The thing that has evolved on Survivor and keeps the show interesting is what happens at Tribal Council. People have become more open at Tribal and better in the discussion that happens with Probst before the vote. That was a big move by Caleb. However, that tribe is now even more pathetic in challenges. The best thing about that move is it may cause the challenges to be less physical and that will help. With the makeup of that tribe I bet the show producers make the next immunity challenge one that is less physical to give them a chance.

 

Redemption Island will be very interesting with Brad on there versus John and Candice. If Brad wins the challenge and sends one of them home, that could really make it crazy.

 

I think your reasoning is flawed. The loved ones tribe was already much more physically strong than the returning players tribe--especially with Tyson's bum shoulder. Heck, the title of the episode was "One Armed Dude and Three Moms." The physicality of the challenges wasn't the problem. They lost it, and at least one other challenge so far, on puzzle solving. In the other they were much quicker rolling and lifting the barrels, they lost it due to Katie having trouble with the knots and Hayden sucking at skee-ball. I would argue that their only chance for a win was in a physical challenge. They did have a tough time in the one on one platform challenge but the other 3 challenges weren't lost because they were physically weaker.

She asks to but I don't think Brad will let her.

 

Two women at work, who watch the show, both say they can't stand Brad Culpepper. I don't really understand the dislike. It's not like he was rude to people, he just orchestrated early moves to backstab some people. What's the big deal?

And that was because their women were smoked by their counterparts if I remember correctly. Couldn't hide their weakness.

Good points. I agree.

 

The most disappointing thing for me so far this season is there was finally a man alliance of the strong and it was dismantled by Brad. I guess even the "strong" men don't have the wisdom nor intelligence to see that the only way "strong" men will make it to the end is to form an alliance and then go mano a mano at the end.

I think he'll take his wife's offer. She's already been there and done that, she knows physically he has what it takes to advance. It might seem cowardly to make the switch but it buys him extra time when nothing is guaranteed in his position.
