I really liked the episode too. It was a nice change of pace from the strategy driven season of Cambodia to have a more old-school character driven episode :love:

Ia that Brawn sucks but I love Alecia and hope she is the only one to make the merge of that useless tribe. Debbie and Tai are stars obviously :love:

Probst must be hating it.

I've watched the first half of the ep

Liz and Joe's rivalry <3 "Pathogen's my BUTT!" <3

An enjoyable episode that only helped to confirm my favos <3 I think we're all on the same wavelength re Kyle so that's good too

You thot wrong

Tai, Alecia and Debbie WILL be the Final 3, know that.

(I love him so very much that I just called him Kyle instead of Jason)

Liz crying at Joe "not appreciating that she needs a fire going"

Screaming! Underrated queen

Respect for Joe :cool:



Julia is still my favourite

Such a good episode. This season is starting to look promising :love:

I can't get over Jenny at tribal council :p I started to like her, but I'm glad her foot in mouth syndrome caused Alecia's safety. Of course Tai is actually making Caleb bearable to watch, shows how fantastic he is. I'm really liking the dynamics in each tribe tbh, it's quite a strong cast.

One thing I hate myself for is finding Kyle really attractive D:

alol at Liz crying in her confessionals because Joe won't start a fire :joker:

Liking this season so far.

Cant stand Jason, such a sexist pig to Alecia

Debbie is too much I hope she is the first brain to go.

Not really feeling the Beauty tribe that much, all the girls seem the same girl to me, its hard to tell them apart. Tai is too over exposed, Nick is just there.

Liking the Brain tribe so far. Liz being the bitch villain of the season lol

Neal is also looking good.

Cyndey has potential as well.

So far liking Alecia, Cydney, Neal, Liz, Audry and Scott

Also was really liking Jennifer and she **** up super badly lol

She saved Alecia though so

Alecia is still not doing enough for me to be actively supporting her. I think I only wanted her to stay by default because Kyle.

Loving the Brain tribe dynamic though, but my only issue is The Beauty tribe is the Kai and Caleb show (are the other 4 just not that interesting?)

Yeah this had me conflicted but I was just hoping for anyone to go instead of Alecia. I'm still pretty shocked that vote actually flipped. Jennifer didn't really deserve that but then again.. she kind of did for screwing herself that badly. :joker:

Well, they are the beauties...so pretty much just there for eye candy...

In other words... They aren't interesting

I thought the 3 females on the beauty tribe had potential in the first episode. I imagine if they had to go tribal council they would come across a lot more interesting.

yeah, all three of the Beauties got good edits in the premiere and they didn't really need to be shown last night because they won the IC. Beauty's the best tribe rn anyway so who cares, they'll get their time to shine soon.

This has been a really solid start to the season. The first ep layed the groundwork on introucing the characters, and this second ep has built on it. Has been kind of refreshing after coming off such a strategy heavy previous season, and the fact that the edit really is being shared around with virtually the entire cast really is a throw back to the way it was done, wayyy back when. Allowing the season to be crafted by the characters.

As for the specifics of this ep...

Beauty really seem to be having an absolute ball. And good on them. Som fun characters there, Tai & Caleb's bromance is hilarious. This really seems to be such a very different side of Caleb than the one we saw in BB17. Hopefully they can team up and get that HII, which from the way it was edited, seems this season is going to take more than one person in order to get it, but hiding the key (for the box where the HII is) wayyy up there in the trees it's clearly going to disadvantage some players ever having a chance at gaining these. At least it is more challenging than the way ot was for about 4 or 5 years, where they were pretty damned easy to find.

Brains are not exactly exhibiting their best qualities around camp. For one, they won the full on, super dooper fire kit, yet without kero they can't make a fire? Like, wtf? The kero/matches should have been put aside, because you know, sure as ****, at some point it is going to bucket down, and good luck making/keeping a fire when it is pissing down. It's for those times, when the wood is damp etc that they should have been keeping those for, and use the flint for a fire here.

Oh, and yeah, I know that Rudy didnt bother to drink boiled water in Borneo and ASS and got through OK. On the flip side of this, Bruce in EI was not bothering to drink and just filtered through a T-shirt, ll... and yeah, he got pretty sick and had to be pulled from the game. So is it worth the risk, drawing water from a stagnant well, wouldn't be the worst idea to boil it? I mean, even if you are pretty sure it will be OK, but if it is the difference between pretty sure its safe and being 100% sure, then using your head the natural course of action is to go with 100% certain, so why not boil it?

Debbie is Coach 1.0 re-incarnated. Some may be amused by it, but personally wasnt ever a huge Coach fan in any of his seasons, let alone his first time out, but that is what Debbie is reminding me of. Knows everytrhing, talks, talks talks, but doesn't actually do anything.

The challenge was a pretty good one also, and on the surface one that the brawn tribe would have really fancied their chances at.

Which brings us to Brawn. WTF? Cydney is like the only one on that tribe with her head on straight. The others are looney tunes. They started the ep off by pretty much them all denegrating Alecia, then it seems like the editors were dumping more on top of her with the elapsed time to make the fire. But the girl persevered, so kudos for that. And when the opportunity came at TC, she did well there, leting others bury themselves. But make no mistake, after the way that this tribe has been voting, acting and treating Alecia, you know sure as sh*t she will bail on them the first chance she gets and it is their own fault entirely, for ostracizing her to such an extent, but seriously, to have 2 such insane TC's to start the season has been pretty awesome!

Hopefully loads more like it to come.

1. Debbie - Obviously.
2. Tai - Proclaiming to love trees then ripping out half the ****ing forest to find an idol :love: Trying to kiss Caleb :love:
3. Jennifer - I kinda loved her actually and I wasn't expecting her to crash so badly :joker:
4. Darnell - He was really rootable. Kinda sad to see him go.
5. Alecia - Absent-minded cockroach :love: Getting some Christina Cha vibes which is CERTAINLY not a bad thing.
6. Peter - I have a soft spot for contestants who only appear for a snarky confessional and he's fitting the bill quite nicely.
7. Aubry - Suprisingly strong swimmer/meltdown extraordinaire <3
8. Joe - I love old people on Survivor who bumble around and think they're the **** :love:
9. Liz - Making weird contraptions for the sake of it :love:
10. Neal - I think there's some potential still.
11. Cydney - She's aight.
12. Nick - His opening confessional was so douchey :joker:
13-15. Michele/Anna/Julia - Idk which one is which tbh
16. Scot - Kinda dull
17. Jason - I am so ready for him to be blindsided and see his stupid smug face turn.
18. Caleb - "I'm wondering how this Asian guy is on the beauty tribe" good God shut the **** up. Hate that he's getting such a positive edit.

LemonJam :laugh2:
Hysterical analysis!... very much on point :hehe:

That messy ass tribal was fantastic

Alecia <3 Liz <3

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS Alecia <3333
