Would you be getting ab implants?

I don't know. Troy and Kat definitely won't vote for Kim, but they won't vote for Alicia or Christina either. Both Sabrina and Chelsea seem like a threat for jury votes.

That escapade made me realize that an essential part of Survivor is making sure every "secret" you tell can also work to your advantage (or at least, not hurt you) when the person inevitably lets it slip.

I'm not quite sure what Kim has told Sabrina to make her think she's safe, but Chelsea believes she's Kim's best friend on the island and is thus guaranteed a spot next to her. It seems like Kim genuinely likes Chelsea, though it was interesting to hear her acknowledge that she needs to get rid of her.

Or glanced at someone else's wheel and rushed over there. Unless the "rule" is that you have to finish your own decoder before you can move on.

I mean, some challenges take an hour in real-time and they just cut away. I'm sure even these ones take 20 minutes or so.

I don't know if it's editing tricks or not, but I was super impressed with Kim's pitch-perfect reading on Alicia. She knew exactly how to play to her delusion of grandeur and her insecurity. Wow.

I love the contrast between Hiddleston's impeccably delivered Shakespearean monologue and Hoppus' stilted reading of his note cards.

Can you even invite a boyfriend? Does it have to be a relative?

I kind of dig Kim's new strategy to just win challenges because why the fuck not. In retrospect, the editing basically telegraphed she was going to win it, but still… she's already got people lapping at her heels because they like her; might as well have them groveling at her feet because they're intimidated.

So, Kat's fucking her cousin, right?

Of course they did that during the sale, but doesn't it say something that the man with no creative vision came up with it right away?

Everyone else knows they can do better, too.

I think it was just a bite of fish. Earlier in the episode, Bobby said, "Sally doesn't like fish." This was her way of acting like an adult.

The first day, Tarzan (whose full name is Greg Tarzan, I believe) was the first to tell Jeff, "Call me Tarzan." Cut to Troy's talking-head, in which he shouts incredulously: "He can't be 'Tarzan'! I'm TROYzan!"

Think of how many shocks he could put on his Jeep.

I'm still reeling from disappointment about that fake rack.

I love hearing Kim talk about her strategy, because she's not only counting numbers; she's measuring people's moods, and weighing all the possible emotional outcries.

I was really conflicted during this episode, because for some reason I wanted to see Troy find a way to break up the alliance even though (a) he seems like a pretty big jerk and (b) Kim is so clearly a superior player. Now that he's gone, I guess I can accept the fact that Kim's going to win and just watch the…

Man, I was rooting for him to pull off the coup against the objectively best player (Kim), but he seems like a huge asshole.
