I wish this show would go the way of Rupaul's Drag Race, where the last 5 minutes of every show is dedicated to explaining why the bootee is booted. The ambiguity is fine on the runway, but obscuring the reasoning behind the judges' deliberations is just frustrating in a week like tonight's episode where Richard had…

@CountBulletsula:disqus Ah, shit, you're right! Maybe Fiji was just that boring. Fiji had the weird car agreement. It's all coming back to me now.

PS I'm a bit worried that 2 is happening and I'll probably get a boring next 5 weeks out of this. I feel that returning players rarely splinter from the group, understanding how safe and profitable keeping a majority is.

I hate shaming reviewers for their inadequacies (because it gets gender coded pretty fast and it's their shelteredness is often par for the course, voice-wise), but I thought 1. was pretty obvious during viewing with the coupled thing further supporting the decision.

I'd pick Brenda and half-mouthful-of-teeth man (Eddie?), to be honest. Malcolm lacks a little lip-ed-ness for me.

Yea! Was that the spider's appeal? I was thinking Legends of the Hidden Temple pendant, but maybe it was a metaphor for there not being a real idol in the Favorites camp.

I don't hate Fiji. Shitty twist in reaction to losing a cast member (was supposed to be race divided again), but it had those dumb horsemen, that Lisi chick that cracked me up, and that horrible fire tie-breaker that meant that no one competing in it would ever win the game. I like it better than Redemption Island, at…

Yup. Didn't she even have a chance to flip with him (and get farther in the game) and was too spineless to do so?

I keep defending Corinne at a rate that's disproportionate to my like for her, BUT I do find it amazing that she got a word in edgewise (and was eloquent about it).

For me, it was like the gays thing. It kinda made sense the first time, but by the 30th time it was problematic.

While I disagree with any subjectively-judged challenge, I do think they are pretty fucking awesome to watch.

Didn't Dawn or somebody mention cracking open a coconut? Maybe one tribe won like 1000 coconuts but they didn't have time to show the challenge (in order to include gay talk).

It definitely towed the line of offensiveness (was mostly weird at Tribal, though). However, I think her inherent point (not that she had to keep talking about it [and also not that the editors had to keep including it]) is that gays probably value an outspoken and ostensibly unpleasant woman more than "MAINSTREAM…

@FuriousGiorge:disqus Julia doesn't need to work with Michael if she exploits the Corinne-Phil drama to replace whichever one of the two is booted. She could play it off as not having a current loyalty.

Survivor 35: Goats vs Inepts

I'm with you. Part of it was that the editing was subtle and relevant, showing Matt's confession that he didn't have the idol (which for once informed the majority's decision to boot him).

Let's not forget that Danielle got second place in her first season.

She's the first person who told us how to feel about Julia. That's got to count for something.

At least she knows she is delusional. I'm team Corinne all the way; she reminds me of a Survivor without asshole goats.

I thought "faggot".
