I think they said they wanted to target that group but were afraid that Jay had an idol. They thought he might save Taylor with it but wouldn't play it for Michelle

I hope the arrogance of Jay and Taylor keeps coming back to haunt them. Jay mouthing "What the f***!" Last night was great.

I was really afraid Adam made a stupid choice not playing his idol last night. Worked out for him but he is playing way too hard right now.

Why did they vote out Michelle? Because losing her would weaken Jay and Taylor?

Because this show rewards mediocrity. Anyone that shows a real plan or ability is eliminated ASAP most seasons.

I'll stick with Chris and Ken for my final two

I was glued to the TV for the first season of Survivor but every year it lost a little more of my attention until now I don't watch it at all. Not sure why I randomly opened this thread, but this little game you guys play could get me into this show again. See you next season!

Last night's episode was great. Lots of drama, insane performances in the IC and tribal where the audience had no idea what was going to happen. I know people have complained about this season but I really like it. I like the cast a lot and I see a bunch of players who will get a second shot.

OK Judges - help me interpret a rule...

3) Post-Merge Rules: Since they usually don't let you know the merge is happening until that in-episode, these rules only apply to episodes after the one where they merge. In the episode where the merge takes place, you'll get points for any players you have in the first II challenge (and reward challenge if they have one), as well as for surviving TC.

Does the second sentence mean:
* If any of your players was in the first Individual Immunity Challenge, you get points? OR
* If one of your players wins the IIC, you get points? (Will won) OR
* No points for IIC, Just points for surviving TC?

I'll stick with a couple of my initial choices.. both GenX: Chris and Jessica.

It means just the winner. The person who initially introduced the game here gave points to the first individual immunity challenge winner, so I have just continued the trend.

By the way, MuckRaker, you still around?

Sooooo If it's the winner of Individual Immunity, you, me, and kpaggie should get some points for choosing Will....right?


As for my two Post Merge picks... Sticking with Will - going with Zeke...

I'll keep Hannah and Zeke.

bump cause you have about 24 hours to get your picks in:

I'm keeping Bret, and adding Chris.

M1: Ken (w/bonus)
F1: Hannah (w/bonus)

Hannah
Adam

Sticking with David and Zeke

Sticking with David and Zeke

Adam and Jessica

The millenial purge continues. I did enjoy how they torched Adam at tribal.

Sunday's fear of Jessica seems unfounded. I guess we'll see how it pans out next week.

Smart move by Jay to avoid the spilt vote and save his idol.

Yep. Sunday must have told him about the split, and he convinced Will to vote for Taylor, too.

Will voted for jay

Yeah, seems some major editing going on. I think the Gen Xers have figured out the "don't show any initiative" vibe or you get voted out.

You have to know that next week Adam needs immunity even if he plays his advantage. Plenty of pissed off people either way.

Adam has an idol

Adam needs to go, he thinks he is hot **** and I can't stand him

Adam doesn't have to play his advantage.

Adam should have done one of two things with that advantage - give it away or pull a Randy Bailey and throw it into the ocean

I didn't understand the Adam hate last week, but I finally see that dude is annoying AF.

Season has been so much better since the merge.

Jay ruined his chances to take control of the game and vote out zeke in the second vote

No need to take control, Jay's a neutral party in a war between two sides. David and Zeke are not going to stop going after each other to take Jay out, so Jay can sit back, let them duke it out and maybe has a solid group once everything shakes out. I think Jay is sitting pretty right now, and he's got an idol.

On the Rob Cesternino podcast, they were talking about how war's between two players usually end up with both players voted out one after the other, kind of like Chris and Jessica this week. Will be fun to see how the Zeke/David battle shakes out.


Oh, here's the scores:
I'm Really Good at Mason Jars

what has more brain cells? Plastic doll Ken or real life Survivor Ken?

I can't with Ken. I just can't.
