I saw a lot of season of Survivor on YouTube some years ago, but CBS started to delete them 3-4 years ago.:mad: So I don’t think I’ve seen any since Heroes Vs. Villains. ---

Yeah, Scott can’t win the $1 million, which makes him a pretty good guy to take to the end. Take him and one goat and the jury speech writes itself like a madlibs. ---

I’m so happy Scott and Tai are friends now. They’re the perfect odd couple. I would be so happy to see them go to the end. ---

(3/23 aired spoilers) Not surprised to see Peter go. Everyone disliked him (and he seemed to have no clue as to just how slimy and arrogant he came off as). I’ll bet the Survivor cast interviewers were thrilled and said “he’ll be amazing, he’s such an a-hole” after his interview. The crossed-out vote was great too. I liked the immunity challenge, different from what we’ve seen before. I think yellow would’ve won had they used the correct strategy (Tai on Scot’s shoulders stacking normally) from the get-go. ---

There’s nothing I love more than a good “They’ll be sorry they voted me off” post TC goodbye, and Peter certainly delivered. With a healthy dose of “I refused to compromise my principles just to win the game” as well. I’m always amazed how many players don’t realize that _Everyone else wants to win too._ ---

Props to Aubry for figuring out that Scot telling Julia to go with the “original plan” meant that they wouldn’t be voting for her. Now why couldn’t FBI Agent Joe make that same determination? ---

As much bragging rights as someone who won a “killing flies with a fly swatter” contest against Rafa Nadal, or someone who wins a miniature golf match against Tiger Woods. Glad Faux-bama is gone. ---

I’ve often thought they wouldn’t pick someone that had a 6-million+ salary in their history, but maybe they would. I wonder how much Neal is worth. He owns Three Twins ice cream. God, why are there so many assholes on this show this season? Peter, Nick, Scot and Jason/Kyle. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > As much bragging rights as someone who won a “killing flies with a fly swatter” contest against Rafa Nadal, or someone who wins a miniature golf match against Tiger Woods. Have to disagree with you there. The game involved throwing a ball into a hoop, using the same exact motion as a free throw. That gives a tremendous advantage to the NBA player. Just as hitting a rock with a big stick would give an advantage to the professional ball player. ---

So in the first several episodes I really disliked Scot, but the last couple episodes I’ve started to wonder how much of that was editing because I’m starting to kind of enjoy his interactions with others now. Now Tai clearly gets along with everyone but watching him and Scot, and now Anna strategize together has shown a different guy. ---

I think Scot by himself is probably a reasonably likable guy. I think Jason by himself is generally douche-oid. ---

Well, that was boring. I think they screwed up big time on this season what with the heat exhaustion and now the medical extraction. I hope this is the end of that crap. ---

I’m betting that after this season, the “freebie” pack is going to include Neosporin or some such along with the condoms and stuff, and instructions to USE IT on all cuts or scrapes or be disqualified. Neil’s knee wound really was bad…if the flesh around the abcess is so degraded that there’s a huge hole when it (incompletely) drained, he could easily lose that leg above or below the knee completely if they let it go too long. I didn’t like the look of Aubrey’s thigh, either. ---

Yeah, I really didn’t appreciate Dr. Rupert’s Abscess Theater, though I hope his exams were slightly more thorough than what they showed on screen. Total snoozer of an episode, besides Kyle getting a lot of “I’m such an asshole!” screen time. ---

Yeah, it’s amazing, Scot is a pretty good player when he switched tribes and then as soon as he got back with Jason, it was instant douche. ---

I bet they at least offered antibiotics to every player who had even a small infections – otherwise it could be argued it was giving an unfair advantage. Hey, fighting off infections is _hard_ on your body under any circumstances, let alone when you’re living at near starvation. ---

It’s probably a good idea to have each player checked out at the end of every day. Treat the cuts and scrapes right when they happen, and move on.
