She's not an idiot. Her strategic knowledge was pretty solid but she lacked the social awareness to realize she was on the outs

Yeah you're gonna have to get in line bro

Hold up there bro. That's plagiarism

1. Off the top of my head I can think of multiple players more overrated than Malcolm. Penner is entertaining as hell, but never came within spitting distance of winning in all 3 times he's played. Russell and Rupert are both still wildly overrated by a large portion of the fan base. Stephen is also pretty overrated…

There was the scene in the premiere where she did the Trish impression with the buck teeth that came off as extraordinarily bitchy

I don't like either of them but I find Trish to be much more compelling. She's clearly a few crayons short of a full box but her unique brand of mania I've found to be pretty entertaining, especially because it can shake up the status quo like we saw this week. Lindsey just mopes and whines.

Big and flashy, yes. Dumb though? While Malcolm's Caramoan gameplay was certainly not ideal, it was also far from stupid. I thought Malcolm's post-merge game was like a juggler who suddenly found himself with too many balls in the air and his quick reaction was ultimately the wrong one. Doesn't make him a bad player…

Wise choice. I for one am still unapologetically Team Woo

I would stake my life that a conversation took place where Tony convinced LJ he was on his side. The editors obviously decided they were better off building suspense. I'm sure that at some point between Trish and Lindesy screaming at each other next week we'll get a confessional where LJ or Tony alludes to such an…

The conventional answer for best edit would be LJ but this season has not been kind to power players and it wouldn't surprise me if LJ found himself as the victim of a blindside in the not too distant future. On the other hand, Spencer has received a fantastic underdog edit, and would be my current favorite to win…

This point is definitely the best point. Either alliance Tony went with would eventually crumble after the merge but this way he maintains his best ally (assuming he doesn't lose her to LJ's dreamy Massachusetts charm)

I did watch but I did not remember that bit. Also, I imagined you being older and for some insane reason thought Judge would look more like Sterling Archer than a normal guy from Florida with some sort of vaguely accountant like job

Raise your hands if you predicted an LJ-Trish showmance. Anyone? Bueller?

Now I'm gonna have to take up a complaint with @JudgeReinhold:disqus and @avclub-a5fdfa672284da6bf4f4326e2b3698bd:disqus about their reverse sexism! Affirmative action is ruining Survivor podcasting!

That was my logic. If Sarah is going to Woo to vote out Cliff she is both strategically and socially unaware of her environment. And I don't think that she is.

Doesn't Michigan consider itself the academic powerhouse of the Big Ten? Of course I've spent most of my life in ACC country so my knowledge of the Big Ten is basically limited to "Ohio State sucks" and "take Maryland, we never wanted the damn turtles anyway"

Well I never said that it wasn't my own fault that I haven't been back. Damn girlfriends want you to take them on dates and shit instead of talking about Survivor with internet strangers.

If it helps, I can be sure to go overboard in objectifying Alexis and Sarah the next time I'm on the podcast. Although if you guys are going to talk about the NBA instead of college basketball in the middle of March I might just have to boycott the whole podcast on principle.

I suppose this makes Garrett the JaMarcus Russell of Survivor, and Ms. Woozah is the Raiders.

This is easily the weirdest and most entertaining thread I've ever read here. I suppose I should be glad I've never been able to get back onto the podcast. It sounds like a slow, surreal descent into madness.
