Nice write-up FKYW.

 

I like Carolyn for some reason and can see her going long as well.

 

Dan reminds me of a retired clown for some reason.

 

Hali - Something cute about her to me. I bet she's one of the few women who will actually look better at the reunion show. Most of the time, I think they look better on the island.

 

Jenn - Big fan of her. She's my favorite women on the show. She just seems like a cool chick that I'd love to have a beer with.

 

Joe is a stud. They need to get him out of there or he will walk through the finals.

 

Mike/Rodney - I hate that they work together. I like Mike. Seems like a good guy, but not as smart as he thinks he is. Rodney is certainly a character and I'm glad he's on the show because he keeps it entertaining, but man he'd drive me nuts if I was on the show. He's like a dumb puppy that you gotta keep on a leash.

 

Sierra is whatever to me. Don't have much to say about her.

 

Shirin - I find her extremely annoying.

 

Tyler - I don't know what it is about him, but I really don't care for him, especially after last night. Just don't care for him much at all.

 

Will - Just along for the ride at this point. FKYW summed up how I feel about him exactly.

Without really looking into much, give me Mike Halloway for my early favorite to win.

 

I said he was my early favorite. Guess I gotta keep rocking that. But I think Jenn has a great chance to pull it out if she can just get to the finals (and Joe isn't with her). Long way to go.

Loved Rodney's Chicago Bulls reference last night haha.

The dynamic has definitely changed. Blue Collars are even with no collars. Wonder if Tyler and Carolyn are questioning their decision to hang with the blues. They have to know if they remain a majority they will just start picking everyone else off. Joe and Jenn are easily playing the best games at this point. Everyone else THINKS they are playing well but really not so much.

Tyler and Carolyn are too smart to hang with the Blues. They figured that out as the votes were read.

 

I see them switching up, realizing Jenn is a player.

 

Great episode!

I like that they revealed nearly all the votes last night. It pretty much showed who voted for who. They did save Will somewhat by not showing the last vote for Kelly. It will be interesting to see what he says if they confront him about the vote. It is going to be a good show next week. There is a lot of ground to cover. I see the girls joining together (don't they always). Sierra is looking for an escape hatch from blue collar. Carolyn's connection to the blue collars got voted out last night. I see the blue collars being in trouble. Get Sierra, get Carolyn and Tyler - that gives you enough numbers to split votes (to avoid a hidden idol save) and pick off the blue collars Dan, Mike and Rodney.

One thing I could see that I didn't mention is Joe almost having a Tom Westman/Yul Kwon vibe to him. A straight up force that doesn't really deceive anyone but walks his way to the finals.

Oh yea, I LOVE the endurance challenges. I feel I've mentioned it before but it needs to be said again.

Joe has pulled out major saves the last two weeks. Now he needs to get involved in the game and put together some numbers. And he really needs to find an idol because he will need it at some point no matter what alliances he puts together. There will come a time when his own alliance will know they have no choice but to vote him off.

Previews show a mutiny with name dropper and legend in his own mind Rodney against Mike. They've also been playing the "a blue will win this thing" angle a lot. I"m seeing them possibly getting picked off now.

I would have fought so hard but no way in hell I beat someone built like you in that challenge.

 

I feel like I could do well at some of the endurance when they have to hold something or stand on something. But hanging from a pole, my 220lbs (I'd probably be down to 205 lbs from the show) would slip right down the pole haha.

I admit, I may have some bias here due to how well I think I'd fare at them -- and this particular challenge is definitely slanted to someone with a build like me. But in general, any of the endurance challenges are my favorites when done well.

 

To that point, in the team challenges there tends to be a slant towards someone built like you and they can often get through the team segment of the game by "being too valuable to vote out".

One of my favorite Survivor moments:

 

I want to know why the gross eating challenges have pretty much disappeared. Those pretty much put everyone on even footing.

Yeah I definitely agree with you there. I'd love to be down towards the end and have one of those eating challenges, when they put gross food in front of you. It would be awful but I feel like I could choke down anything quick.
