Damn, poor Francesca. Interesting that both of the women she initially talked about forming an alliance voted against her.
And man, this season is going to be tough if my most-loathed Survivors don’t get voted out soon. I think I said “f***ing Cochran” about five times while watching this episode. And from the preview it looks like Lil’ Hantz is gonna go off the deep end next episode.
Really, was there any doubt? I didn’t see the preview, but it was eerily familiar to see Brandon making some random woman on his tribe a target, for really no reason than his inner demons, once again.
Sorry, that was a lame attempt at a Game of Thrones joke. ‘Snow’ is the desigated surname for bastards in their northern realms.
I’m still as into Survivor as I ever was, but man this season is super depressing. Clearly they couldn’t bring back the prehistoric favorites again (Rupert, Parvati, etc…) so the idea is to bring in favorites from the last bunch of seasons. Works for me, I’m on board.
But hoo boy, the favorites they got suck hard. If these are the favorites, how shitty must Survivor have been the last few seasons? Malcolm I love, and, and…, erm, Andrea is super hot, and…, uh…seriously?
Francesca? How in the hell is a first-one-out a favorite? I barely remember Dawn, don’t remember Colleen (that’s not her name, I forget it) at all, and I loathe Philip, Cochrane and Brandon. And not in a “love to hate” kind of way; get them off my screen NOW, please. Of course Brandon targets the hot blonde immediately. Dick! hehheh. At least that despicable gay southern racist dude isn’t back. (I have black friends…my housekeeper!)
Where is that redemption island religious dingbat who got voted off first then won like 8 duels in a row to get back into the game, only to be promptly used and discarded by Boston Rob? Why isn’t that guy back?
As for the fans, that marine is an uber asshole. Not a fan so far, but he could win me over with impressive challenge performances. The less we hear him talk the better. The “cool kids” fulfilled the dumb jock stereotype perfectly, forming an alliance of four on a tribe of ten and making it super obvious. That’ll end well, you dumbasses.
Very impressive challenges, the design team should get a bonus for putting up that structure, and I do love the “kill the carrier” type games. Hopefully they’ll keep the reward challenges separate from the immunity challenges this season, giving us two challenges per episode. I like the idea of reward challenges being all-out physical brawling with immunity challenges being more intricate. And I like the goofy skill contests like “toss the sandbags into holes.” I’d like to see those alternate weeks with puzzles.
When adults compare others to “The Cool Kids in High School” it’s usually not meant as a compliment. And these four douches are calling themselves that? Not too self-aware, are we?
Here’s hoping one of those four is the first out in their tribe.
When does the preview ever actually reveal what is going to happen the next episode?
True.
However, some people avoid the previews so it’s customary to spoiler any details from them which you may want to talk about.
She and ‘federal agent’ had conflict during their season. The producers need conflict to have a show. I’m sure that’s why she was hired and I’m sure that they were disappointed when she got voted out so soon.
I’ve watched every episode of every season of Survivor, but I refuse to watch another retread season, especially one with a Hantz. I just deleted this from my DVR, and I’m skipping this season. I hope next season is better.
Do you want a PM when the Fav tribe collapses utterly? It seems quite inevitable, and you can cheer their destruction and enjoy the rest of the season untroubled. 
I think it was funny that Eddie proclaimed himself to be the best looking guy on the island. Hint: He’s not.
I also was amused that Reynold was in charge of throwing bean bags into the holes. He’s from Cincinnati and a game called “corn hole” is very popular here. It involves…throwing bean bags into holes.
After reading Rey’s bio on “Survivor,” he should put $1000 in the douche jar. I’m not sure the island is big enough for both he and Eddie’s egos:
Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I’m a charmer. I dazzle people. They adore me and open up to me. I’m an excellent motivator, excellent physical competitor and have experience spear fishing.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: With my charming personality and a long history of thriving in and adapting to new social situations, I am the best equipped to manipulate the actions of my fellow competitors to play my agenda. I’m in excellent physical shape and my strong competitive drive makes me almost unstoppable
Barf.
I’ve been bedazzled! I hope Reynold invites me to the prom!!!
I also hope he gets crop dusted…
Poor Fran! You’d think these people would know to vote out the crazy first. The SO only tolerates Survivor, and she does not want to see ‘Fuchsia Underwear Guy’ any more than she has to.
The thing is…all the other Favs are thinking they want to bring Philip to the final three with them. And it’s easy to drift along with crazy Philip if you can until you have to actually start playing. Philip is taking all the attention and thus all the pressure off of his group.
Not voting out Andrea was the real mistake.
For whom? The only people that appeared to have the ability to swing the vote once the lines were drawn were Dawn and Cochran (Note: I don’t think we saw what Brenda’s rationale was). Given the choice between working with: (A) Francesca, Brenda, Erik, and Brandon or (B) Andrea, Corinne, Philip, and Malcolm, I think I take (B). Philip has a proven track record of being a great final tribal council goat, Andrea and Corinne aren’t terribly effectual players, and Malcolm is the first target post-merge if you don’t go in with numbers.
