It’s episodes like this that make me think being an editor for Survivor must be an incredibly fun job at times.
But stop calling him Bjorn! Chris the athlete/model/whatever else wouldn’t last 3 seconds on Vikings.
Oh man. I’m thinking - individual challenge, top two winners become captains and get to schoolyard pick their new tribes.
Kind of sorry to see James go. He may not have been the most dymanic player, but I liked him.
We definitely didn’t see a conversation between Michael and Angela. We saw him reach out to her. She probably countered with, “We can work toether, if you help us vote out James.” That’s the only thing that could account for his vote. But if they’d showed that, the Tribal Council would have been even more dull than it was.
I was surprised when the whole team didn’t have to go back and retrieve the bag. It seemed convenient that the non-blindfolded guy got to go back on his own to get it.
I guess that would have been too punitive, like automatically losing.

Or is it just that the editors/producers chose not to show anyone looking for one?
Much more likely this is the case. There have been other seasons (can’t remember exactly which ones, unfortunately) where contestants said they spent a lot of time looking for idols, but never found them, and when the episode aired it made it look like they were just sitting around camp all day. It’s true that footage of people combing the jungle fruitlessly would be pretty boring, but it can be a bit misleading (and also means that whenever they DO show someone looking, you can be sure they’ll find one).
Yeah, they should show a very quick montage of people looking, with a voiceover expressing frustration. 15 seconds is all you need.

I guess it’s good to be 18 and athletic. Man, Michael sure did shine in the IC. I’m very impressed with his maturity level, and you can’t help but like him. I hope he wins. Can’t say I was sad at all to see Bradley get the axe. Buh-bye! Say goodnight, Dick.
The stick! Complete with charred sections after Jeff tossed it in the fire. And Erik’s immunity necklace! What a great episode for idol hunting.
Apart from that, I’m glad they voted out annoying jerk over eye candy.
Don’t forget the extra vote. Interestingly it still has Michaela’s name on it that will need to be crossed out, so everyone will know something is up when they see it.
Called it. 
Also nice to see the Biggest Mistake In Survivor History Necklace ™ show up, as it was a given since they announce the theme this year. But what a pain to hide, though, it’s enormous compared to most idols.
But seriously… “It’s been sitting on Ghost Island for 10 years.” sure it has… not in a prop room back in LA or anything.
I’m sure Bradley has been watching his behavior on the show, and has realized the error of his ways. He is currently striving to be a kinder, more empathetic person.
*…Nah. *
I’m so happy he didn’t make it to the jury.
Meanwhile, I want the model to stay on for as long as possible, just for the inevitable clip montage at the reunion.
The male model? You need to be specific.
I guess that would be beneferciral.
It occurred to me that it would be pretty easy to make a fake idol that looks like the stick and give it to someone along with the real paperwork. Hilarity, something something something.
Wow. I can’t believe it, an episode where two of my favorites found idols and one of my least favorites got voted off. Survivor at its finest!
He needs to sign up for voice lessons, too. The voice alone is like fingernails on a blackboard!
(He’d probably fit right in here on this MB. )
So glad to see Junior Future Law Partner go. I was steaming at the way he was ordering Dohnathon around, like he was Bradley’s servant or something.
