I also love it when everyone destroys Bruce's zen garden to write a goodbye message to him with the rocks. They were so oblivious "He's gonna love this!"

I was assuming there was a pretty good chance Ozzie wins the FIC, but you're right, its not guaranteed. I love Yul but the immunity idols in Cook Islands were ridiculous. He was able to able to play it through FTC and could wait until after the votes were read.

I can see Debbie making Final Tribal almost purely be the amount of screen time she is getting, but if she is there, it will be as a goat. I don't see her winning, I don't think the players (or even the edit) take her very seriously.

Yeah, that's fair. But I think at this point, if I were Ozzy, I would make an effort to not seem like a huge challenge beast from the start of the season. Its been a while since he played so its not too hard to sell. Otherwise, he puts himself in this position of having to win every individual immunity to make final…

Yeah, he makes juries because he's a huge asset in tribe challenges and at camp when tribes are smaller. The only pre-merge time to get rid of him is RIGHT before merge

Tbh I kinda feel like that happened to Ozzy in Cook Islands. Even though I vastly preferred the actual winner, Ozzy would have won if they didn't change the final tribal format that year

I tend to prefer all new cast seasons, but getting to see stuff like Survivor vet Cirie coaching a newer player like Michaela is kinda great about returning players seasons

Yeah for one of the most famous and experienced Survivor players, he understands very little about the game

I agree. Also in the first vote when Cirie made sure both she and Michaela voted the way everyone expected them too so they can continue working together under the radar just shows she is working on a whole other level than the most other players

Glad Ozzy is gone. His reaction to being voted off was the same in Micronesia. He's an entitled douche.

Another article about the Chainsmokers! Thanks!!

whatever. they're fine. people seem to like them.

There was a trans contestant on Big Brother a few seasons ago, and I remember people being a little nervous in voting her out and were always sure to point out "I support her as a person but she is a threat to me winning the game". I wonder if a similar thing will happen here

Yeah, there would've been plenty more Cochran conversations I would rather see but it was pretty funny seeing Debbie just nod and beam at him while he was trying to warn her not to feel safe.

It would have been hilarious if Tai would be the one haphazardly idoling out all the big alpha male threats like Malcolm and Ozzy by just continuing to find idols and playing them at every tribal

I really wish Ozzy would have went to Exile so we could see his conversation with Cochran. Although I did find the conversation with Debbie weirdly sweet

I wonder if the 4 titular "Girls" will share a scene together again before the end

Monica is indeed a very neat lady

Yeah it was frustrating to see neither Caleb or Hali make any effort to protect themselves back at camp (at least in the edit) after the IC so I was happy to see both of them (especially Hali) make some arguments at Tribal

Seriously. Go figure!
