wow I'm glad that hasn't been the obvious conclusion ever since we saw last week's Next Time on Survivor preview!

[Macie Lightfoot]

Prediction for the second half boot... Bret?

[JerseyWins]

Jay needs to stop trying to work with Adam.

[Macie Lightfoot]

lmfao Adam's so ****ing shameless

[JerseyWins]

Ugh I reeeeally hope it's not Jay.

[JerseyWins]

I'm assuming he'd use his idol though so I'm guessing they end up splitting the vote between Jay & Bret and Bret goes? Cause I don't expect to see David going either.

[JerseyWins]

This would suck if Jay doesn't use the idol and goes.

[Macie Lightfoot]

sooooooo did Sunday speak at all tonight? In a double TC episode nonetheless? In her ****ing boot episode nonetheless?!?!?!

[JerseyWins]

Well, that was random. Best possible result though. David & Jay both remain and all the big players are still in for that matter. I REALLY want Jay to turn on Adam now.

welp I assumed the finale was on the 21st

Anyway this was a rushed mess, the editors obviously thought 'okay let's get rid of the fodder in a quick episode', I much prefer the two hour nights

They also totally ****ed up the pacing of this season by having 20 people, no double boot nights (having only one of three tribes win an Immunity Challenge would've been perfect to cull down numbers before the swap. Like, having 9 people at the family visit on Day 30 was just insanely pointless and it made me feel claustrophobic.

Anyway, I couldn't tell you anything that happened this episode just now. Boring like the rest of the season.

[JerseyWins]

That episode was pretty eventful and at the end all the biggest characters remained so there's going to be a lot of material for the finale end-game. The episode definitely felt rushed and cluttered because of that but I feel like with two random-ish boots these wouldn't have been very entertaining to use as full episodes.

[Jack_]

I was wondering, when they do episodes like this without reward challenges, does that mean they planned it that way and didn't actually do them, or they just chose to omit them from the edit due to time constraints?

[JerseyWins]

Yeah idk that's a good question.

Although whether the cast actually still does them or not, I think they always stop showing reward challenges at the end of the season? Or is that just during finales since there's only like 4-5 people anyway? I don't really pay much attention to the reward challenges and prefer when they don't have reward challenges anyway.

[SoberLikeGizmo]

Ugh hope jay wins now. David win is way to obvious though

At least hannah is the most pathetic goat the show has seen in a while. The jury will eat her alive.

[rk3388]

ehhh I think it was her move to take out Sunday which wasn't BAD. I'm hoping Jay is out next so Adam can win this thing

Have a gut feeling Jay will win - looking back when the "cool group" got horrible edits bar Jay I should have realized they didn't want people to hate the winner

Hannah wanted her gone because Sunday was taking her ftc goat spot.

[AarynGriesfan]

I am glad that the 2 most boring / irrelevant characters got voted out in the same episode. That didn't make the episode good but it did spare us from 2 really bad episodes in a row.

The goat spot she's worked so hard for in her words, now there's a contradiction.

I just think she trusts David more than some of those others, Brett may have been a better target though as I doubt she has connections with him either. She is last woman standing so I guess that's a victory for her.




I think I heard in the past that they don't always show reward challenges and in earlier episodes that makes sense, depends on what they have for each episode. Though towards the end they may well stop doing them. Though it did feel kind of rushed putting two eliminations in one episode.

So refreshing not to have balancing strength immunities all the time, unlike what they did in a recent season and the AU one.

[JerseyWins]

I could see David, Adam or Jay winning. Jay's chances would be better if he still had his idol though. Ken has a shot too but not as good. Bret/Hannah would be long shots but I'm not completely ruling them out either. I think there's a lot of ways this F6 could go but at this point I think/hope it'll go in favor of either David or Jay in the end.

[starry]

I didn't like Adam helping Ken at the individual immunity. I really hope we don't see more of that when they do puzzle challenges. The only other time I remember that happening was on a redemption island edition when they were trying to get Ozzie out, didn't like that either.

[Macie Lightfoot]

why are you so against people colluding and helping each other in Challenges starry?

also, I'm mobile but Probat has an interview that came out where he loses his sanity rambling about how you need to make BIG MOVES to win and if you're not willing to do then just go home. And he *still* begrudgingly complains about Michele being a Survivor winner lmfao

[Macie Lightfoot]

As promised...

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Such fascinating talk this week at both Tribal Councils about the need to make big moves to pad your résumé, but then also how those big moves then make you an immediate target. So how, as a player moving forward in future seasons, do you avoid that deadly catch-22?
JEFF PROBST: You don’t. You wanna win? You have to stand up and play. If you look at a list of the most recent winners: Jeremy Collins, Mike Holloway, Natalie Anderson, Tony Vlachos, Tyson Apostol, John Cochran, Denise Stapley, Kim Spradlin — all of them were game changers. They were willing to make risky moves to further their game. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn’t. Your question is the one that messes everybody up — you can’t be the best player if you’re not playing.
Yes, it’s a bit of a catch-22 but that’s the game. I sometimes hear from Survivor bloggers that I “say things like this so that people will make big moves.” To those critics I say, “When you’re ready to get off your ass and actually play, call me.” The format of Survivor is the star of the show. It works. The game has evolved because of the gameplay and that comes from the players. I’m not saying you can’t win by playing a somewhat quiet game — Michelle did that last season — but the overwhelming majority of recent winners have earned their votes by playing hard. Next question.

Jeff naming eight of the last nine winners, all except for Michele Not to mention, like... what big moves did Jeremy make? Mike? Tyson? Cochran? Denise? Kim? Literally only Natalie and Tony fit the BIG MOVEZ bill, which is so ****ing nauseating and really just proving that Jeff has no real understanding as to How Survivor Works.

[Calderyon]

Wow. They really made Will´s elimination that obvious. Although i did enjoy it. Really liked Sunday going second as she had overstayed her welcome way, way before. As far as the winner goes, it seems to either Adam or David, with Hannah an outside chance. Jay will probably be out just before the final three. Brett and Ken won´t win this as they have not done enough to warrant it, but one of them is a prime candidate to be in the final three.

[BBUKAUSFAN]

Fingers crossed we have the survivor auction as the next reward challenge, here for Jay stealing the advantage from Adam because we all know he is gonna wait and buy it , then for jay to take out the next immunity win to take his spot in the final 5.
