I was a little shocked to find the actual number was 10, after looking it up. Interesting. I wonder if more people have played Fake Idols than have gone home with real ones unplayed. “It’s a stick!” ---

FOUR! 4! Four times in one season. Apparently the new normal. ---

She’s allergic to coconut and tropical fruit, so she’s been slowly starving to death. And she REALLY likes Applebee’s. So she REALLY REALLY wanted to go on the reward … and totally lost it when Q didn’t pick her. (When did they stop giving them rice? Was that part of the “new era”? Seems really pointlessly cruel.) That was probably the least consequential reward, ever… usually the attendees hatch a new alliance. But on this one, Q got up and went for a walk, the remaining 3 decided “Q has to go” – and then, he didn’t. ---

> [@Eyebrows\_0f\_Doom](#): > > Liz is an entitled whiny crybaby and both her and Q are gonna end up sneaking into Final 3. Yup, to all of it. 1. If you are allergic to pretty much all the foods commonly eaten by Survivor players, don’t sign up to play and then bitch about your situation. 2. Sea shores are basically littered with stuff humans can eat. Seaweeds and snails and limpets and slugs and hundreds of other not-particularly-favored things that are none-the-less nutritious. Get out there and root, hog, or die. At least make an effort. And why does nobody seem to bother with the fishing kits they won a handful of episodes ago? 3. Why the hell should anyone else give a damn that you and your kid have an Applebee’s tradition? 4. Q was completely right: YOU voted to eliminate him the previous TC, and you’ve done nothing to mend fences with him. How entitled can you be to demand he share his reward with you? Okay, I can see her losing it in the moment, but the way she carried on, and on, and still whining about it the next day! And, yeah, I bet each of the others are salivating at the idea of sitting between her and Q come the final vote. Can you just see the jury telling Probst “Why bother to hold a vote? There’s no way in hell any of us are voting for two of those people.” ---

This episode is the perfect Drinking Game watch. Every time Applebee’s is mentioned, you have to take a shot. I get product placement but, fuck me, they repeated that word a lot. > [@StarvingButStrong](#): > > If you are allergic to pretty much all the foods commonly eaten by Survivor players, don’t sign up to play and then bitch about your situation. Completely this, I have ZERO sympathy for her - and nice username/post combo, BTW. ;~) > [@Dag\_Otto](#): > > What was Liz crying about anyway? They sort of glossed over that detail. What **StarvingButStrong** said but also, she has been whining all season about how everyone keeps taking credit for ‘her ideas’. She’s completely delusional. She hasn’t done anything meaningful and more often than not is on the wrong side of the vote. Underneath she is seething at most of the players and the Applebee’s fiasco just sent her over the edge. I have to say, the players this season, in general, seem cluelessly unaware of the social dynamics (see Q’s “I’m a mob boss” comments). > [@jsc1953](#): > > (When did they stop giving them rice? Was that part of the “new era”? Seems really pointlessly cruel.) Yes, no rice during the new era, unless you earn/bargain for it. ---

Can you just see the jury telling Probst “Why bother to hold a vote? There’s no way in hell any of us are voting for two of those people.” ::golf clap:: Excellent rant. I fully endorse everything. I will admit to fast-forwarding through Jeff’s Applebee’s porn. Play the damn idols. If you think you’re safe, you’re not. Play the damn idol. You can find it again. Ugh. ---

Pretty sure **Dag\_Otto** was being sarcastic… Probably about 50% of the episode was devoted to Liz whining about the burger. ---

Yeah, I didn’t think the /s tag was needed. They need to fill the 90 minutes, and it was the Liz show this week. Rating 1/10. Do not recommend. ---

According to Tiffany’s exit interview at “Rob has a Podcast” both Maria and Kenzie offered to give up their spots on the Applebee’s reward to Liz, but Q said no.
