Her gameplay is just beyond everyone else's. It makes sense, too, because Tai is so emotional and paranoid he'd be the most likely out of Sierra, Culpepper, and Troyzan to start voting with her.
It's what she did last week to Sarah, too. All she had to do was plant the bug in her ear about being on the bottom.

Gawd, I hate the family episodes. Such contrived bullshit.

Will someone remind me how the National Geographic ties back to a prior season? I remember it being with Jill, I think, but I can't remember what the significance was.

This episode seemed to take forever to get to where it was going but the final 15 minutes or so were superb.

Much easier said than done. As a 40 year old (white) woman who can't swim, I can tell you that it is not something that can easily be learned, like it is for my 6 year old who can swim like a tadpole. It's very unnatural for me and I've tried for years and have gained competency floating, but would drown if thrown…

I disagree. He had some of those people completely bamboozled. He was a phenomenal con artist and I think it could be argued that players should've given him the begrudging respect of having conned them. He was there to play the game-not make friends-and that's what he did.

Micaela making her case in front of the jury:

Yeah, because if the jury awarded pure skill at Survivor, Russell Hantz would've won a $1M.

True, but by not picking her it left the impression that she dgaf about Micaela. Plus, Micaela owes her her Survivor life so it didn't matter if she pissed her off by not picking her. I think it was smarter to not pick her and lose than pick her and win.

It makes sense that Cirie didn't pick her because Cirie has been working undercover to keep her in the game and didn't want anyone to pick up that she's on Micaela's side. Plus by not picking Micaela it left a spot for someone she isn't actively working with, so regardless of whether or not they won she'd get an…

Maybe she's overcompensating since being too smart and strategic for her the boot the first time around.

Pretty smart move by Cirie to leave Michaela out so people don't pick up on the fact that Cirie is actively working to keep her in the game.

I think in Cirie's situation when Probst was prodding her to keep trying, I'd probably answer with a "fuck off, Probst."

But she can't be trusted. I'd be a nervous wreck having Debbie around because you never know if she'd blow your game out of the water. She's incredibly clueless and incredibly arrogant.

Troyzan is sitting in a pretty good spot. He has numbers, an idol, and I don't think anyone really fears him in challenges. He'll have to do something to justify getting votes if he gets to the end, though.

Her move to keep Micaela a couple weeks ago was masterful.

I love Cirie. I want her to win it all.
I don't care about anything else that happened other than Debbie being blindsided. Her convo with Cochran went right out the window and she did the exact thing that got her voted out last time. Sooooo glad she's gone.

So, what's Vegas say about Matt's nosebleed not being random and we'll see something going on with him and that nosebleed? I think the odds are good.

There was something going on because that shirt really flattered her figure and I was thinking about how nice her boobs looked, but there was no bouncing on the trampoline.

I watch the shit I don't really care about when it airs, so I don't care if the kids need a drink of water or the dog needs to go outside and I miss something. If I care about something I DVR it and avoid the hell out of social media until I watch it.
Surely I'm not the only person who does this and live ratings don't…
