Now the EOD folks are going to have to hear Rob and Amber pounding every night..

Nice move tonight

I'm so impressed.

That was fun! The women are making moves but they are eating their own.

When Sandra made the deal with her I told my wife she should take Sandra out to save her other token... I didn't think she'd have the cahones to actually do it!

That was an all-time move by Denise tonight - bravo. Hate seeing so many big names voted out, but had to figure it would go that way.

Cheered aloud at 1 a.m. watching the show last night. Didn't think Denise would have the guts, but the only way you make that play is to take out Sandra. Right now Denise has the best resume in the game and Jeremy indebted to her. I almost felt like the producers must have been whispering "spy shack" in Tony's ear because who does that with only 5 people left?

I feel like unmarried, non-Mommy Parvati could have gotten Nick to change his vote to say anything last night. Surprised she didn't offer up the Nullifier to him to save her skin.

In Survivor terms, EoE is starting to look like an Old Folks' Home. Natalie must feel like a real loser being the only young one there.

Will Sandra attempt to do anything on EoE to advance her chances? I feel like she couldn't walk up the stair column even once, much less carrying a log up and down it.

Will update standings in a bit.

Our three players with Denise all benefited greatly from her saving herself with an HII, getting +3 eac. Southlake is the first player to 20 points with 4 last night. Bulldog73 also got 4 from a combo of Denise and Sandra to jump into a second-place tie with Bobcat06 and Quinn with 17 apiece.

Bobcat06 is now the only player left with all 5 picks still in the game. Myself and tx1c both had Parvati go to EoE last night.

With 12 players left, the merge seems imminent. We're going to start seeing point total escalate a lot once that happens. You get 5 points for every player you have that makes the merge, 5 points for winning individual immunity, 3 points for finding an HII or advantage, and 4 points for using an advantage or an HII to save yourself or vote someone else out successfully.

Also whomever returns from EoE gets 5 points.

Current totals

And the fact that she has competed in maybe 2 challenges and has the bench named after her

If someone is willing to screw over her alliance members in order to save you, is that someone you could really trust in the future?

"I feel like unmarried, non-Mommy Parvati could have gotten Nick to change his vote to say anything last night. Surprised she didn't offer up the Nullifier to him to save her skin."

No doubt Nick make a big deal about his love for Parv, but I don't think he loves her enough not to realize how dangerous she is. He played her like Denise played Sandra. Juicy stuff!

I was thinking there is no way Nick is that dumb. And he wasn't.

Yeah. Parvs magic doesn't work when she has a baby and husband at home.

Parvati in her prime could tell me to stab myself in the eye with a knife and I probably would have done it.

Great. Tied for last and have an emotionally damaged Michele as one of my players.

Michelle is playing pretty well...

I think Michelle lasts as stronger players plot against each other and use her as a pawn.

Speaking from honesty...In almost every season for the past 35 or so, I would listen to a little bit of the beginning of a show, then fast forward tot eh competition, and then fast forward to the voting. I could watch an episode in about 20-25 minutes.

This season, I have watched almost all of it. Definitely my favorite season since the first.

Any of the remaining cats could win. My guess...Sarah!

That's what I'm hoping and that side bar about Wendell was just winner editing. She needs to do a better job of putting Wendell out in the group as a major threat when they merge.

THe live finale is set for May 29. Would think it will probably be just Jeff Probst in his living room at this point.

I loved seeing "The Queen" get taken out last night. The how might have been surprising, but the why is a no-brainer. She does nothing except sit around and talk about how great she is. Good riddance.

Agreed. I just can't see what kind of witchcraft she works to bamboozle her tribe to keep her around so long.

If I'm not mistaken, the only challenges she competed in were when the tribes were even and nobody sat out.

Not at all.

Bump for tonight. Survivor and the Pick'em game are starting to loom far larger in my life than during a normal March!

Merge coming up?

If we were supposed to pick the boot order, I am kicking yalls asses!

All the "old school" players are gone. Kind of sucks. Rooting for one of them to win their way back in just to get the boot again.

My question is why did Sandra bother even going out to EOE just to raise the flag and quit 5 min later. Just quit straight from tribal. She has annoyed me every season she was on (except maybe last season) because she would just sit out every comp and skate to the end and win.

---

I was wondering the same thing. And her rationale for not wanting to remain on EOE could be applied to her even participating in this season to begin with.

Im guessing she went to tell them how she got got. Denise played her like a fiddle!

I will update the standings later today and include the bonuses for making the merge, as I expect nothing will happen to eliminate anyone else before that point in the next episode.

Tried to watch online last night while working and the new episode wasn't up, so I thought maybe it got pre-empted by corona coverage, then when trying to see if it aired, I spoiled the ending for myself. Bleah.
