Fk Jon Lovett. Dude is a pr*ck, but probably could have gotten away longer by never revealing who he was.
You absolutely get that dude out at the first chance you get, over the ticking time bomb, who you can manipulate later.
The stupid coordinated outfits are just stupid. Like just stop. It's obnoxious. It's dumb, it's not showing me anything if a person shows up in some color coordinated costume to "show their personality".
3 team 6 person tribes- no. Just give me 2 tribes.

So was Andy really having a medical emergency or was that just a last ditch effort to curry sympathy from his tribe?
I'm not sure how much Lovett gave away, but I'd have sussed him out immediately.
I am familiar with Pod Save America, and his pod before that.
Don't care if you were Trump/DeSantis's speechwriter, or Hillary/Obamas, you tell me either of those things, you gotta go.
Just tell me you are a technical writer at Amazon or something, and I might deal with your schlubby ass for a week or 2 over the crazy guy.

Andy stole a page from the Rock N Roll dude from last season w/ the anxiety attacks in the middle of the night. It won't work. I hope that glasses chick doesn't blow up her game for him, she seems pretty smart.
But, everybody knows that he's a ****** and mentally weak, but he is physically stronger than the Podcast guy, so I agree w/ the result of the Tribal Council.
The Devil you know....

Seemed more like an anxiety attack. You don't bounce back like that from minor heat exhaustion.CheeseSndwch said:

I don't know…Kenzie won last year almost literally because she was nice and stayed up with Ben.
Yikes, what a weak season overall that was.

Technical question: I know they film two seasons back to back in the spring, but does anyone know if this was the first or the second one filmed? (I'm just curious if Kenzie's season had aired yet before this season was filmed)

Kenzies season was filmed but not aired when this was filmed.

No he is just soft - like everyone on the show but the facelift grandma
Looked like he knew they were going to lose and freaked out because he presumed he was going to get voted off.CheeseSndwch said:

Edits are everything, but seeing a guy start throwing a piss fit that he can't sleep outside on night 2 , waking people up, throwing a guy under the bus and falling apart like a baby at the challenge, then not even pretending to be actually injured/exhausted and STILL not getting voted off sucks.
At least more time with Gata means more Sierra.
This show has gotten so bad…

someone likes his pork chops thick
Been watching the show for a while with my wife. Only lasted 1-2 episodes the last two seasons because it seemed to get too political/woke... seems as if that is the prevailing sentiment of what they are aiming for. Although I did hear Jeff will not be snuffing torches for anyone that quits which I like.
Just watched the season 47 premiere and it was entertaining enough for me to tune back in this week (although I miss the hour long episodes).

The woke stuff was more like 4-5 years ago. Probst talked about it being a mistake on a podcast - or maybe just leaning too hard into the times - (Catching Fire) maybe 3 seasons ago.rwhitlock3 said:

Yeah, that makes sense. I feel like it has been dialed back of late
Last night's episode was pretty great! So many of the guys are so cocky this season and it is making it pretty enjoyable. Love the teaser of the Sam/Sierra couple that will be explored next episode.
These challenges seem to be TOUGH this season. It's like they are combining 2-3 challenges from previous seasons into one GIANT challenge.

I don't agree w/ voting TK off at this stage of the game. Everybody knows who he was, but I'm of the mind to keep the strongest players until the merge. They should have voted out the old cat faced lady.... she was the weak link.
I like Anika, but I think her mouth and bossiness is going to get her in trouble.
And what about "what's his name" putting the Advantage back and the big yellow guy finding it.... Doooof!!!!!! Then confiding in him what happened..... he's a train wreck. Keep him around for entertainment purposes only.

I agree. You keep the strength around to keep you tribe's ass out of council. He's obviously volatile and easy to dislike which means it'd be easy to get people to vote him off later13 - 0 said:

The scene where everyone was cheering for him after every little thing he did. So pitiful. Embarassed for that guy.
Really fun episode tonight. Rome might be a egotistical a-hole, but he was able to make the right move to avoid elimination.
Props to Genevieve for the first big move of the season, keeping her shield in place and voting off the tribe's biggest strategy guy.
Really loved the new trick they created with Sue's idol, literally making the person who finds it be "caught red handed" with all the paint.

Finally, the weakest link who brings nothing to the table outside of scheming against actual strong players is removed early.
The most ridiculous moment so far this season has to be Sue telling her tribemates with a straight face that she's 45.
It's also ridiculous that they believed her! Another absurd moment from this episode was Annika being so shocked by the blindside. She acted like she was the first blindside on Survivor.double aught said:

She took that s*** personal!

Good tv.
That is a true blindside, where they didn't see it coming at all and didn't even know who was behind it. Even on a tribe of FIVE, you can be hit that hard.
I dont have the stats, but it feels like Indian women have the worst track record of any gender-race combo on the show. They can't sit back and not be a leader and it burns them repeatedly.
Couple of fun blindsides the past few weeks. Glad Andy is around for at least another episode. He's good comedic relief in what is otherwise looking to me like a pretty meh cast
Probst and Charlie were calling Andy the talented Mr Ripley on the podcast for the way he was wearing the glasses during tribal but not while playing the dunce role talking to the girls.Goldie Wilson said:

Really liked the new merge challenge - only 1 person guarantees they make the merge and are safe at the first tribal. Kinda like only 1 team getting a bye in the NFL playoffs.
First reaction - maybe the best episode of the season, and the most I can remember enjoying one in at least a couple of seasons, mostly because of the absolute shock of the Original Blue tribe to realize all of their posturing and dancing was for **** as Rachel got the Manna from Heaven from Sol and got to disappear into the night back to camp instead of being voted out.
The genuine looks of stunned silence were really something, and Probst eating it up with a spoon, with his "Tuku will be turning on each other" and coming back his big ****-eating grin and "So, now what are we going to do?"
Episode had a little bit of everything

Episode had a little bit of everything
- Andy and Genevive potentially becoming the darker half of Sam & Sierra with an alliance.
- Andy continuing to be, in Sam's immortal words, "the George Costanza of Survivor" - quickly falling out of another Immunity Challenge and also doing the most obvious advantage search in human history.
- Andy outsmarting Sol with his breakdown of why Sol voted for him and Sol throwing Sam under the bus for it.
- Me hearing Caroline speak for the first time in several episodes and realizing she's pretty smart.
- Tiyana realizing all too late that nobody really liked her much.
- Tuku realizing at some point that they did exactly what they all kept yapping about - not going back 5 strong - but feeling like a bunch of idiots for how it went down.
- I also wonder if Sam / Sierra watched this episode tonight and realized how close one of them was likely to get voted out if Yellow hadn't won the challenge. With Andy and Genvive forming their alliance, and Andy and Sol doing something similar earlier in the episode, pulling in the very malleable Teeny would have sent either Ken or Barbie packing if things had played out differently.
