Papa Bear running in the woods to look for the idol

Just started Cochran's boot episode and not even five minutes in and we've already got references to Helter Skelter, the Mansion Family, Sharon Tate, and poison Kool-Aid. Creepy ****.

A shuddering comparison

"Cochran said 'I know a lot of you feel indebted to me' I don't feel indebted to you ... screw you! He made an awful move -- he should've stuck with his tribe!"

Sophie's utter disgust

[Macie Lightfoot]

"There's a reason they call him Prince Albert" might be the most unintentionally hilarious thing ever uttered on Survivor. And it came from Rick

[Braden]

I've just got to the bit during episode 4 where Stacey breaks the fourth wall after her conversation with Coach

She's lowkey want production want from female players though (see her and Mikayla being on the Cambodia ballot)

Hot and willing to roll over for the producers male faves like B Rob

Coach getting frustrated with Brandon for believing Stacey's lies

[Braden]

Sophie (conf): "I thought I had a five-strong, plus Edna, alliance going on."

Exactly, it's a bizarre sexist paradox because even though people like Natalie probably are the reasons why Jeff thinks females are generally weak players, the cast list for any All-Stars/Fans vs. Favorites season is jam-packed with every male strategist imaginable no matter how competent or incompetent, but then the female side of the roster is fluffed with bikini fodder like Natalie and Mikayla as you mentioned, or Hali and Sierra in Game Changers, or Parvati who didn't have much to her name after Cook Islands and is now falsely labeled as some seductress who lured men into her evil, cunning trap and then crushed their souls, which I think is pretty offensive since this huuuuuugely understates Parvati's gaming capabilities.

Stacey's exit rivals Michaela's as one of the best, the fact Coach ordered everyone to stand up and hug her to just have Stacey squirm and pace away so disgusted

Poor Coach, the only man to have his goodbye rejected more than once at tribal

[Macie Lightfoot]

We're officially in the endgame stage of SoPa where Prince Albert is ridiculously impressed with himself and is seemingly calculating his path to victory, all while completely unaware that everyone sees through his transparent attempts at playing the game and hates his guts Albert gave his reward to Cochran "because his birthday is coming up" and begged everyone to give him the next food reward () and then it immediately cuts to a Cochran confessional about how Albert's just trying to get his jury vote.

Just wait until you see Stacey at Redemption Island hun......x

[reece(:]

These parts of Stacey's bio <3

Pet peeves
Gum-popping.

Survivor contestant you are most like
Vecepia Towery from Season 4. At Day 38, when Vecepia and Neleh were talking, she said to Neleh, "And Christ said while he was hanging on the cross, 'It is finished,' it is almost done."

And THIS was robbed from being in the episode

Youtube video

[Macie Lightfoot]

Jeff: This has been a bit of an eye-opening Tribal, hasn't it?
Sophie: ...........
Jeff: Nope?
Sophie: No O_O
Jeff: Really???
Sophie: ...........

[Macie Lightfoot]

EDNA'S LAST STAND four minutes in and I'm fanning myself so hard, with Edna's makeshift Tree Mail visor if you will.

"You know what I feel like right now? I just feel like one guy, a nineteen-year-old high school dropout who's advertised that he's crazy, to dictate to me the direction of my own destiny here."

[Macie Lightfoot]

*Family visit; Sophie's dad is the first to come out*

"I want Reese's Peanut Butter Cups at the airport and fresh-made banana bread. And a hamburger!"

[Macie Lightfoot]

watching Brandon's dad (Russell's brother, for imagery's sake) berate his own son for wanting to play the game like a Christian, giving him a C grade on how his son has played the game so far literally only based on one conversation mind you, and then stating in a confessional that he has no clue how his son hasn't been voted out yet is chillingly creepy. I don't know what else there is to say about the entire Hantz family that hasn't been said already but their whole dynamic is just disturbing and repulsive and I'm *SO GLAD* that era of reality TV is behind us. Now if only the Calafiores can **** off for once and for all

[Macie Lightfoot]

Edna using the Immunity Challenge to lecture Upolu for treating her like **** and stringing her along and reminding them that they're playing like it's a team sport but it's about to turn into an individual game comparing Brandon's apology to beating your wife and buying her a diamond necklace Sophie's confessional about how apologies may absolve all signs in church but people in Survivor are not as forgiving as Jesus Christ is and Edna certainly is not

this definitely marks the moment when South Pacific's endgame just turns it up to level 10 since Upolu has to start cannibalizing each other and Coach continues to make terrible moves while being a gigantic hypocrite

[Macie Lightfoot]

Albert: I personally never heard [that Coach is one hundred percent keeping Edna] but okay.
Edna: Coach is one hundred percent in, I'll eat a piece of his, uh, the only thing I could say is that I'LL EAT A PIECE OF HIS ****, THAT'S HOW MUCH OF A HUNDRED PERCENT I AM THAT HE'S IN WITH THIS.
*Albert and Sophie are stunned, Edna awkwardly giggles to herself*

[Macie Lightfoot]

"Brandon, I know you came out here to cleanse your family name. You're not doing a very good job at it, I'm sorry."

Edna really did give the best voting confessionals this season

[JerseyWins]

Yikes tbh

[JerseyWins]

Yeeeees at them getting rid of John. Neleh & Paschal seeing the light. What an immunity challenge to have at this exact point in the game.

Definitely one of the biggest moves/moments up to this point... if not in Survivor history.

[Braden]

I've just watched Stacey at Redemption Island

I love how Mikayla told Albert to ignore her, yet Stacey just walked past them like they didn't exist.
