Oh snap, Russell Hantz kneepads are back.

I don't think Russell is the best.

I think he misunderstood the Bill Russell reference.

I never said you thought he was the best. I said you slob his knob. I meant it literally, not figuratively, though, so you're free to think someone else is the GOAT.

And people wonder why this board is looked down upon.

John = Southlake.

Thanks!

got your picks Agsquirrel97 - thanks - feel like you either won or finished in the top 3 of the Game of Thrones picks last year.

I was leading right up till the end. I just couldn't make myself think as illogically as Benioff & Weiss.

Thanks guys. I will confirm everybody's picks and post a first update late tonight. Appreciate seeing familiar faces from 2015 still around

First season back in a few years. I've always jumped in and out of watching Survivor, so I was surprised at how many players I was familiar with. Should be a fun season!

Just so we're clear - who gets the points when an advantage is found on EoE? For example in Ep 1 Natalie found the hidden immunity idol on EoE but gave it to Sandra in the main game in exchange for a token. Does Natalie get points for finding it? Sandra for being the ultimate recipient? Both?

The person who finds it gets the find points. The person who uses it gets the use points. Getting it from someone else does not get you any points.

Rules subject to change if I am in last place.

Thanks for putting the picks together.

Interesting episode tonight. Some of my favorites are gonna start falling it appears, can Rob and Parv figure a way out?

I know a 20 person cast makes it hard to get screen time for everyone but this is a cast of heavy hitters. I feel like they completely ignored half the cast tonight.

I really like Ben as a player. Hes 100% all the time. Hes a better version of Tony who Ive always felt was very overrated. The Tyler Perry Idol won him his season.

Here's the spreadsheet, make sure you double check your picks and please email me if I effed them up.

Our Week 1 leader - Southlake with 7 points - had both Kim & Denise who found the HIIs.

I think Ben is trying too hard to take on Rob and Parvati head on instead of playing the long game.

Really enjoyed Tyson's commentary about Tony, who is then seen barehanding a shark in next week's preview.

Has anyone online said anything about the fire tokens in the immunity idol, or are those not real?
Never mind, Nick said they weren't real.

Thanks, Muck. Picks are correct for me but should have 3 points instead of 2 with Yul, Nick, and Sophie on winning tribe.

This season gun' be good.

Thanks, I fixed it.

Glad so many people made picks the last day, always better with more people, although make me hate having to wait a week for the next one.

Would love a gif of Rob shooting his death beam stare at Sandra at the challenge.

Tailgrant and I should both have 3 points for Yul, Sarah, and Sandra please and thank you

Got it

I'm Quinn B on your spreadsheet.

Great episode. Interesting that they were able to gather all the votes to just clear the deck and get rid of Danni. Seemed like she wasn't up to snuff and they were putting her out of her misery.

Parvati's still got it.

Kim is where it's at for me this season, although Parvati remains an all-timer.

Sorry, I have never liked Parvati. Great player tho.

At first watch it was sort of a blase episode last night, but after sleeping on it I really enjoyed the strategy employed by Jeremy/Michelle/Ben/Denise to take out Ethan instead of Parvati. Ethan's just a vote at this point, dude is an amazing story that would sway a jury, but more importantly, you totally neutered Adam and let him know he's gone from his perceived spot at the top of his alliance to the bottom as they didn't let him know the switch of the vote. Now he's got to do what he's told or get eliminated next.

That said, every vote they let Rob hang around for just blows my mind. He doesn't have much power right now, but if they do a tribe swap, he could easily start wooing the other tribe's less-smart members to Team Rob. I'm sure their rationale is that they need him to win chllenges, but that hasn't worked much lately.

Southlake remains the overall leader with 11 points. Bobcat06 scored a week-high 6 points last night. Yours truly, as expected, bringing up the rear with 6.

Dammit, At least you are not lonely in the caboose.

Kudos for Sarah going in to the camp to get the idol. I would have turned that one down. Not knowing the camp, where they had their torches stored, etc. Ballsy move.

It's almost like they're afraid to vote for Rob, Parvarti, or Sandra.

I think they should've taken out Rob.

I think Natalie is going to win it. She's spending all that time on the island with the jury and is also helping those in the game. Watch.

And she hasn't voted anyone off.

The look on Parv's face when she got votes.

The look on Rob's face when Ethan got voted off.

Priceless.

They sliding down a slippery hill and need to win tribal immunity in the worst way.

Game on!

Also I can die a happy man after hearing Tony singing Baby Shark last night.

When do they usually bring a contestant back from Extinction Island? Will it be at the merge? I don't think I've ever watched a season with it.
