My wife and I had this very conversation. I was sure, based on my foggy memory, that more people had gone home with idols than played them. I was a little shocked to find the actual number was 10, after looking it up.
Oh boy, don’t get me started…
Interesting. I wonder if more people have played Fake Idols than have gone home with real ones unplayed.
“It’s a stick!”
OMG, that’s comedy gold! I use that anytime someone says something to the effect of, “Why can’t I…” Literally one of my favorite survivor moments.
Maybe 10- not counting this season.
Like voting off strong players before the merge. Idiots.
FOUR! 4! Four times in one season. Apparently the new normal.
I just can’t with these idiots any more.
Liz is an entitled whiny crybaby and both her and Q are gonna end up sneaking into Final 3.
What was Liz crying about anyway? They sort of glossed over that detail.
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.
Yup, to all of it.

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.

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?
-
Why the hell should anyone else give a damn that you and your kid have an Applebee’s tradition?
-
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.
Completely this, I have ZERO sympathy for her - and nice username/post combo, BTW. ;~)
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).
Yes, no rice during the new era, unless you earn/bargain for it.
::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.
Internet 101: the /s is always needed.
/s
Ha ha, funny. I admit to being whooshed, but in my defense, given that we can rewind it, we are usually doing other things while watching and do miss stuff. But very funny now that I get it.
:snerk:
It’s pretty much Charlie at this point for me, no other hugely likable people.
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.
Probst announced last weekend that Season 50 is going to be an All Star season.
So, Jelinski then?
Probst didn’t say an “All Legendary” season.
Yes, and instead of fishing she sat and bitched/ Yes it was mean that Q didnt pick her- or let Kenzie or Maria let her have their spot.
And it’s so funny because you guys didn’t get to see this on camera, but there was a moment where both Kenzie and Maria volunteered to give up their spot at Applebee’s and I was just sitting there [thinking] I’m not giving up my spot. And then Q was like “Nobody’s given up their spot. I chose who I chose, let’s go.”
But Liz did not deserve that spot or burger. She didnt win. She voted for Q, she got on Survivors knowing about her weird food allergies.
Maria. Ben- kinda.
As long as Rob and Sandra arent there- or anyone else that won more than once. Bring in a lot of 2nd place players.
