I'd bet anything (of no value) that this was actually a best of 5 challenge that they cut down to 3 runs. Otherwise, Woo and Kass didn't have to do anything. The show often cuts these types of challenges down and pretend that there's fewer runs than we see.

Say it with me: A SWAP IS NOT A MERGE. We are still weeks away from a merge. This is still a tribe-based game, and if they would've ended up with J'Tia on their tribe, they'd be going to Tribal Council this week. And next. And so forth.

Maybe not "heart", but Jenna Morasca was an emotion-driven player.

I'm still sorting out my feelings on whether or not it was the right move, but a point in Tony's favour is that he chose the move that his only true alliance-mate (Trish) wanted to make. Going the other way would've left him with a pissed-off Trish, a lukewarm Woo, a player he was set against playing with (Cliff), and…

Especially when it requires the consent of the person about to be voted off.

Here it is, complete with close-ups of the faces of @JudgeReinhold:disqus, @avclub-a1967e6de4ca99fb2635d94b99453928:disqus, and myself. You're welcome ladies.

I'd rather watch one person play an awesome game than 18 people play a terrible one any day.

Everything I've seen and read of Russell off the show suggests that he was somehow BETTER on Survivor.

I do think that many of us vastly overestimate how much time people have between being cast and being sent out on the show.

J'Tia would've lost that one too.

I think they showed him missing one.

If you think a merge is coming at 14, you are not thinking ver well.

My guess is a random selecting of two tribes of 7 each. It's harder to absorb people when there's three. Either the Brawn tribe gets an unearned two person advantage or the Beauty tribe gets an unearned even up.

Not at that vote. They would've voted out Stephanie if Janu didn't quit.

Brandon's move was calculated as shit. He talked about it since day four.

While openly weeping.

Tom and Stephanie had formed an alliance in the opening night of Palau, before the group had been split into two tribes.

I could not disagree more. Which should make for a good discussion. Provided I have the voice to do so.

She was thinking ahead to when the tribe would either be mixed up or take on additional players. Which will happen. Next week.

I'm not saying that this applies to Cliff Robinson (I'm pretty sure it doesn't), but thinking that someone playing in the NBA for years and making millions means that they don't need money now shows that you really don't know what happens to a lot of former pro athletes.
