Just a Pickem note, I know I usually have the standings up within an hour of the show being over, leading most of you to think, "Wow, this guy has no life (correct!)" but I'm taking my kids to see Super Mario Bros 2 on Wednesday and watching the show after so will probably be around midnight when I actually get the thing posted.

Wednesday is when I make my epic escape from the dreaded "Don't Forget About" section!

Very curious what this blood moon stuff from Jeff is gonna end up doing to the game. In one promo Jeff says the GAME of Survivor will never be the same again. Not this game, but THE game. It is probably hyperbole but regardless I am a little hyped to see what happens.

Apparently, the Mr. Beast cameo is coming soon. However, CBS has paired it down after the Zac Brown "complaints."

Survivor Twitter seem to think that they have it figured out it:

Blood moon spoiler
2 players get immunity based on a camp search. From there, the players are divided into three teams for the immunity competition. Winner for each team gets immunity. Maybe the overall winner's team get immunity and two teams go to tribal, or it could be that only the individual winners for each team gets immunity and all three teams of 5 go to tribal.

It does feel like a triple tribal is likely, definitely would be a shakeup we haven't seen before

The celebrity cameos are getting out of hand

What even are "Special Reports from the President" scheduled for tmrw in 2026?

Trump would have already tweeted today from the shtter if he had something important to say.

Trump is promoting a "Justice for Tiff" campaign for Survivor 50.

Did we ever get a ruling on what happens if they merge and then split again and then merge again?

I think I just need to see what actually happens. No sense in trying to figure out possibilities when only one thing is actually going to happen.

Well there it is. Blood moon is taking three players

3 teams of five with each with immunity. What an absolute chaos bomb


Oh hey Applebees! I'm pissed!

Okay whoever survives tonight is the jury, I think that is the true merge

Steph is winning this show.

And Applebees was worse than Zac Brown.

As a reward, you get Applebee's. Worth playing for?

**** no.

Gawd i hope not. she's terrible.

The comicality of all of this is.certainly something.

Cutting into whatever that was, with Trump saying that "he killed a leader". While we're in the middle of whatever let's "kill" everyone during 3 tribal councils.

More confessional time than Tiffany

I hate all of this.

Anyone else's scheduled recording get fudged from Trump's address?

Rio continues to get carried by people

Bye Felicia

My players are safe but damn seeing Gen and Colby go ****ing sucks

Charlie, I see you with the coach names in the spreadsheet

Ours did. Wife is pissed. We only saw the first of the votes

I think Colby asked to be voted out.

Not being evacuated due to his injury for his legacy, and all that blah blah.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that's what happened.

Wild but IMO opinion fantastic episode.

Let's hand out some episode plaudits first:
Saxsoon and double aught each put up an insane 41 points tonight.

Saxsoon, double aught, Johnsy3 and everyone's favorite non-TexAgs member, Mrs. Do It Best, are the only 4 people to get to the merge with all 5 of their original picks intact.

In a later post, I'm going to list everyone and how many re-picks I need from you before next week's episode. Remember, your surviving original picks all get an extra 0.5 points for what they do from here on out. Your redrafts don't get the bonus.
