Christina and Alicia voted for Tarzan, which implies that the four other girls didn’t tell them about the plan to get Mike. If they didn’t know before that they were the last people in the girls alliance, they certainly do now. If they have any sense at all, they’ll flip to the men’s side next week. I’m not sure they do, though. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > I’m pretty sure that was the reason. The producers are pretty adept at rolling with what happens, but one of the things they _can’t_ mess with is the planned challenges. Those have to be, IIRC, set before the season begins. We’ll see if we’re right next week if the challenges all revert to just individual competition. Yep, Probst talks about it quite a bit on his twitter. They have to lock the challenges in advance to be approved. ---

> [@FlightlessBird](#): > > One thing we’ve never seen on Survivor is an all-women alliance sticking together for an extended period of time. And I don’t think it’ll happen this time. There are too many women who think they’re on the bottom of the totem pole. And too many men to tempt them to flip. This is really gonna come down to who plays the idol and at what point. I foresee a few exciting episodes coming up. _fingers crossed_ Survivor: Vanuatu and Micronesia had all-women’s alliances that stuck together for an extended period. ---

The reality is this: people hate their plastic surgeon when their plastic surgeon is Tarzan. Tarzan, of course, will never quite understand this. ---

I’m hoping the producers take this season’s “team challenges on merged tribe” and “one world” concepts to its logical conclusion for the fall season. It’s been suggested (not be me) in our threads many times over the years, and after this season I think it would be beyond awesome: Individual game from day 1, random team splits at each challenge, and only the losing team goes to tribal that night. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Seriously, it’s been there the whole time. I still remember the “Pringles and Beer” competition from years and years ago. Also, Mountain Dew used to have promotions there as well. > > For me, the annoying thing in this episode was Leif chanting, “BarbeQUE! BarbeQUE!” over and over. The “best” one was the Charmin Tea House when they did it in China. Not sure if it was a Tea House, but something food related tied to toilet paper. ---

> [@Nars\_Glinley](#): > > I thought they looked nice too but the implication was clear and I’m sure Chelsea must have picked up on it. Why else would someone hate their plastic surgeon? In her comments to the camera after the incident, I thought Chelsea said the phrase “my boob job” implying that she had one. ---

Oh I know, I didn’t think she doesn’t like Tarzan because he is a surgeon. Can you imagine what being on survivor will do to his practice? He comes off like a doddering loon. ---

[Troyzan] “It ain’t Survivor if you’re not lying.” [/Troyzan] His awesome quote from a few weeks back… that he apparently forgot about. I always wonder the reactions of contestants when watching the episodes, especially in cases like this. Although he probably got the scoop in Loser’s Lodge (where he’ll soon be with the rest of the men), it must be quite humbling to see yourself get played so effortlessly. ---

> [@tsm](#): > > She DID say she had one. But she didn’t say she hated her surgeon. Tarzan came up with that. Exactly. And presumably the only reason that she would hate her plastic surgeon was because she got a bad boob job. Or at least that seemed to be what Tarzan was implying. ---

Not all plastic surgeons specialize in purely elective surgeries. ---

I’m not sure they do, though. Alicia said on Facebook that she & Christina knew the way the votes were going and they were voting for Tarzan in case Mike hade come across an idol.
