Not really no, like definitely at least somewhat attractive and a curvy body but not thaaat hot to me. Oh and kinda annoying. Are you liking/disliking her?

Alexis especially & Jefra were sooo cute/hot tho

Yeeees @ Garrett

Omg I'm shocked you find the others hotter. Jeffra is really pretty though

Morgan is okay, I like her the most of those girls right now but they all seem pretty annoying honestly

And I can't even tell the difference between Jeremiah/LJ. Both gorgeous but maybe just haven't seen them enough yet to tell them apart/see their personalities.

Whaaaaaat? They have pretty different looks & personalities! Although maybe it's just that they haven't gone to TC and been shown enough yet at the point you're at

S28EP2:
- Kind of here for the Cops'R'Us alliance. The way Tony lied though about Cliff/Lindsey and Sarah said she believes him 110%
- J'Tia is literally SO bad at every challenge. But Spencer single-handedly WINNING the tribe immunity on that maze
- "I hope you fall on your ass... dreams do come true in Survivor" WHO the hell said this?!? I think it was Lindsey @ Sarah but couldn't see properly
- Just noticing how hot Jefra's accent is in this episode

Pretty glad that Brice went although Alexis is dull as hell and adds nothing new when we've already got Jefra. Brice's eye roll was soooooo annoying in that TC though.

Faves: Spencer, Kass, Lindsey, Tony
Least faves: J'Tia, Brice, Trish, Tasha

Couldn't even remember which one got the idol in the latest episode, I think it was Jeremiah though

So i n the spirit of watching something actually good and not Winners at War, here's the latest SA: Maldives update!



The merge has been okay so far! The Simon boot was pretty rudimentary because Goma was down in the numbers and they had to spend a lot of time with a Reward Challenge, merge feast, and Immunity Challenge. The Malusi boot would've been a bigger deal if I cared about him, but it was really just putting the final nail in Tejan's coffin. I don't really have much of an issue with Tejan because he's actually not nearly overbearing as his edgic strip would suggest, but he really fits in with the era of his season as a failure of a CPN mastermind (Maldives aired in 2010 so we're right at the peak of Hantzmania.) From continually lying to the celebs about the premerge votes, willingly letting Harry go for keeping the tribe strong despite suspecting that they were about to merge, and completely giving up control to Bonnie and Hykie at the worst time and letting them spearhead a Malusi boot, Tejan really just set himself up for disaster. The Cold War between Bonnie/Hykie and Tejan was brewing for a while and in the latest episode it finally blew up.

What I did love about the Tejan boot episode was that it was able to tell a really compelling story despite its simplicity, something that Survivor in its current state completely fails at doing. We've seen Tejan continually pissing off Bonnie and Hykie with his gameplay and we knew that they were preparing to strike, and it actually manifested itself in an interesting way. They openly broke off their alliance with each other, declared that they were going to vote for each other, and spent the episode trying to rally their troops. A straightforward but still suspenseful story, one much more exciting than something like the Chris Noble boot in Ghost Island. Hykie had Bonnie in his corner and Tejan had Letshego in his corner so it came down to what Goma wanted to do. MXO went with Bonnie and Hykie presumably because of the celeb connection, Alison went with Tejan and Letshego because she's sooooo over Hykie's moralizing and holier than thou bull****, and then for some reason Sean didn't agree with his number one ally Alison and had some weird hangup where he unfortunately trusted Bonnie and Hykie more than Tejan.

I've been unable to make up my mind on Bonnie and Hykie because I wasn't crazy about them at first but ended up liking both of them by the end of Raituhn and heading into the merge. That being said, they were both sooooooo terrible this episode and I hate them both!!! They are absolutely validated in their feelings towards Tejan because he did blatantly lie to them multiple times and he really was dumb for letting them get this far in the game, but the two of them are just soooooooo up their own asses and keep pushing forth the narrative that they are The Good People and it's nauseating. You could see pieces of it premerge when Hykie gave Bonnie a passionate speech about how they're actors so it's time to act, not , and this episode was full of passionate speeches from Hykie about how Tejan is THE SNAKE and he lied to him TWICE (or three times, because Hykie can't make up his mind) and HE NEEDS TO GO!!!!! The most nauseating part was after Malusi was voted out when Hykie was somehow allowed to directly address Harry and say that this was for him. Thank **** Letshego and Alison astutely pointed out "ummm you had just as much of a hand in booting Harry, you ass" and they're both sooooo over his bull****.

And then Bonnie in particular, good lord. Her talk on the beach about how her whole body *repels* Tejan whenever she looks at him, finding the Idol while Tejan was looking for it and basically gloating in his face that she found it instead of him, and her speech at Tribal about how Tejan is a scorpion on the back of a crocodile who is ready to sting and just say it's in his nature.... like, Tejan is definitely more of an outward gameplayer and more dishonest than them, but Hykie and Bonnie are both clearly and openly concerned about the game and are playing it too!!! It's just constant moralizing and dramatics with the two of them, constantly preaching about how they just want to be honest and *not* play a calculating game, and then they proceed to...... flip-flop alliances and break them but justify it as the righteous thing to do.

Oh, and Bonnie cast her vote for "Tsotsi Tejan!" and Google tells me that tsotsi is a South African slang word for a young urban criminal I'll end on that note.
