The only difference is that this time, Shirin paid the price instead of her partner. But otherwise, the edit is the same.

I'm just very generous.

Precisely. The convo stops pretty quick.

Oh, will you be posting there as well? Be great to have you.

As long as you keep coming back. That's what counts.

It was a "time of the month" thing.

Indeed. Although that's part of the fun. Maybe you do it to make people think you might have an idol, like Rupert putting a rock in his pocket?

They are. But punishment would be shushing, not banishment from the game.

She also may have been a good pace-setter, burning out the other side. Joe did have to jump in earlier than what may have been best, while Woo got to wait a bit.

You can have it.

Yes. Straws.

It's probably a mix. He probably had a safety net in the pre-game alliance, but those can only go so far and be counted on for so much, so he also had to do things to ensure it was still in place.

No worries. We literally did say what you thought we said. We just said other things later.

I think the issue is that World's Apart also had some other tall dudes like Mike, Max, Tyler, Will maybe? (Rodney is a midget though). So Joe didn't look as tall. This season? It's him and Spencer, I think.

Yeah, because they have to hide new clues everyday until the idol is found, I wouldn't expect deeply hidden clues. Plus, they WANT the drama even more than before.

Apparently, Kelley came up with an excuse for why she was wearing shorts to the challenge that everyone on her tribe believed easily. So if you have the clue, you can plan ahead.

Yep. There was no way that Kelley wasn't going to be featured heavily tonight, even if she were to get medically evaced next week. That was the debut of a new feature, she was the one it involved, and it was fantastic television. So much drama!

THAT'S THE JOKE.

I think there's enough evidence that Survivor's "rules" are more "guidelines". You can push back against them in the live ball situations. The show will generally just try and stop you, not punish you.

I started that bandwagon out of two wheels and some silly putty in the San Juan del Sur preseason.
