He's talking about Lisi. I remember her plain as day for having one of the most self-righteous, obnoxious jury speeches ever. This is just a small clip from it, but it was really ugly. She did the "eenie, meanie, miney moe" bit to an all-black final three, and then asked Dreamz if he knew how many zeroes were in a

Probst: "The rules of Survivor state that, in the event of a hidden immunity idol, any votes cast against that player will not count. However, this is not a hidden immunity idol."

I've seen a lot of discussion online already that this was some scripted ratings stunt due to all the "foreshadowing", between the extended scene at Mana discussing how the game changes you into this darker person, and the solution to the IC puzzle being "metamorphosis". But I feel like a lot of people have trouble

Seriously, it's supposed to be Outwit, Outplay, Outlast. Not Out.

The human element is really what makes Survivor one-of-a-kind television, not all the silly-ass twists they've been pulling the past few weeks.

The pepperoni was just thrown on there with not a care in the world for order or symmetry.

It's an interesting question: did this ugly moment hurt Zeke's game or did it actually help him? Going into the merge, I could see Nuku rallying around Zeke in ways they might not have otherwise, protecting him like the little brother of the tribe. By the same token, they could probably predict exactly what his FTC

Zeke's interview with People is a sobering read, particularly when he talks about watching the episode back.

Agreed on Zeke's grace. It kind of makes me wonder if this will end up impacting his game though. I don't think anyone else in Nuku will out him, but I feel like the tribe is now aware of how sympathetic Zeke would be if he made the final tribal council. While I don't think anyone on the tribe judges Zeke, I can't

For 33 seasons, Survivor has been searching for a moment uglier than Sue Hawk's "Snakes and rats" speech. Welp, they have it now.

I felt such secondhand shame for Varner. I was in such a state of shock because I'd liked Varner so much and for so long. But after it happened, the amount of shame I felt on his behalf made it feel as though I had been the one who outed Zeke. I was heartsick for Varner, even while I'm disgusted by what he did.

I mean this half as the goofy musings of a Sandra fan, and half as an actual critique on what happened tonight:

To be fair, it could be both.

Now THAT would have been a great new twist.

It's kind of hilarious to think that if Debbie had come back and actually said what happened on Exile (that she got to hang out on a yacht and eat fabulous food, drink fine wine, and talk with John Cochran), everyone would have thought she'd finally lost it, and voted her out so she could get the help she needed.

Debbie's edit took a strange whiplash turn this week to something resembling an underdog/winner's edit. It certainly helped that she didn't act a damn fool this week. That said, I did find it kind of hilarious that, in her recollection of the argument with Culpepper, she stated something to the effect of Brad being

I'm sad to lose Sandra too, especially because it really looked like Tai was going to get James'd out of the game with two idols, which would have been hilarious. Really, I have no loving idea what Tai even accomplished tonight other than making an enemy of Ozzy. That said, if he could somehow mobilize an alliance to

-All these unnecessary producer twists are causing them to lose some really interesting players, and leave them stuck with the Sarahs, Sierras and Troyzans of the world. Ah well, for a two-time winner, it's INCREDIBLE that she lasted 16 days, much less that it also looked like she was going to pull it out there at the

I'm mostly just guessing. Could have been a clue or it could have just been a coincidence.

While I don't particularly enjoy Jessa, my heart broke when she was getting down with that guy in the bathroom and sobbed, "I don't want you."
