The edit fooled me a bit since I thought Jeff would get a bit more play in his boot episode considering the air time he's been getting all season.

How Was the Episode?

I love how this season needs to clarify who is a "rational person"

"Why haven't you told me you love me Spencer?"

Kelley? How? She found an idol. That's it. Everything else has been subtle manouvering

I'm agreeing with you, just wasn't made clear. It was clearly a better move for Tasha and Savage to keep Abi, which was why it was a bad move for Peih-Gee to insist to them on voting out Abi.

It was the last one, and he was up against an all time bad puzzle player in Tony and had a good head start going in against Kass, who still almost won. (note: Woo wishes Kass won that puzzle)

Yeah, Woo is a loyal, non trainwreck player and he keeps getting stuck with the trainwrecks. I don't know whether it's funny or sad.

I think Abi is what's making this season interesting. You want some irrationality in your season for the players to deal with.

At least they had a reward challenge for it in Fiji. This was just sort of "Sorry about your luck."

I don't think Varner did much of anything. Things just collapsed around him, because Abi be Abi.

This episode turned me right off of Varner's edit. Though I didn't really love Varner's chances that much going into it.

It worked though. When you're on the bottom you do whatever you can to turn up the drama in the majority alliance.

I don't think that's ever that much of a threat in a returnee season though.

See? This is why I defend Woo. He's very naturally good at staying in the game of Survivor, and I don't think he's a massive goat. There's not a lot of intentionality to his game, but if people could be as good at Survivor intentionally as Woo is unintentionally, they'd be worshipped I think.

I wouldn't even try to work with Abi going forward. I think they needed her for this vote. They don't need her after this.

I don't think Tasha has that good of crazy management skills. J'Tia never went off on her, and she did lose Kass at the merge.

Plus they are pretty close to the weakest tribe to begin with. Bayon may have less strength, but every challenge is coming down to a puzzle. Angkor had Woo doing the puzzle. That's not good.

They won't make all the top however many people the opening confessional people. That's too cute for CBS and would really give away the episode where the last remaining non-confessionalist is left.

I think it was a different face this time. He kind of knew it was likely to go that way and just seemed kind of down about it. It wasn't quite as wide-eyed.
