In a vacuum, maybe. But if her team loses she's going home next week.

Did anyone say it was a random draw? I thought Probst just said "get your buff" and everyone was lined up in a predetermined order.

I'm grading on a curve here.

Yeah it wasn't surprising. He's also younger and probably hasn't been affected by the conditions as much

And you need to abandon that ridiculous lie as soon as you know they're splitting the votes on you. Come up with a new plan with Rocker! Sheesh!

Never seen Nicaragua, but I did predict it being a Gaboning last week.

It's mostly people who either are confident enough in their social game to leave for the time it takes, or people who just don't care what other people think

This season is going to be terrible. All the focus on the 'emotions', and no one seems to know how to play. Josh is at least paying attention, but he's overthinking everything. John Rocker actually seems to have the head for the game, but his lack of any kind of social skills is going to doom him sooner than later.

I wanted Baylor to go home just for crying about her mom barely hitting her and splitting her lip. Weak.

I hate when they have an interesting physical part, followed by an overly complicated puzzle. It completely negates the physical part of the challenge, and makes you wonder why it was there to start. Kind of like Quidditch.

Grant is probably more fit (I loved watching him in challenges), but Rocker is just so huge and strong. It really caught me off guard.

Getting a real Gabon vibe from this season. Lots of weirdos, no one really knows how to play, a disgraced ex athlete, charming old guy everyone already wants to win. It's not going to be exciting in the way last season was, but it'll be something!

She got screen time?

Is John Rocker one of the most athletic people that have been on survivor? I think he's definitely more fit than any of the other previous athletes (except maybe Grant?), and I was a little surprised by his performance in the challenge.

Wow, yeah. I immediately regretted my team, but you made me feel better about myself.

I am really not feeling Val now. Jeremy is obviously the one they wanted, and she just came along. She has the personality of Jason Siskas stick.

I actually think Exile Island is the beach next to that rock. It's actually just Boston Rob's beach from season 21!

People liked that preview, but I kind of hated it. Corinne is just trying to come up with "mean" things to say even if they don't make any sense. She just thinks she's much smarter than she actually is.
