Who are Caroline and Rob?

For me it was a combination of Rodney being awful, and no one else on the tribe doing a Jaison and demanding his exit on the grounds of basic human decency. Like, Rodney has basically been validated in his thinking because Lindsay was punished for challenging it.

I don't think it matters that much if they lose every challenge though (unless you're Kelly). They're already down to 13 players and can expect the merge to come at 11 or 12. Shirin is an easy next vote, and if they go back again then they get to take out a blue collar before they can reunite (in fact, this is one of…

We saw the aftermath of two vote outs this double episodes, and two very different ways of dealing with the tribe member left on the outside.

It's pretty common in Survivor that, if you have a man and a woman, and there is conflict around them, the woman is the one that will pay for it.

I got the impression that it was concern that the pot would be contaminated, even once they'd swapped the water?

And, as so often in life, it is not the misogynist who must pay for this, but his target. Lindsay, meet Mikayla.

Ah, but what if that behind is failing to behave according to the standards that Rodney sets?

The rooster is only of use if what you wish the hens to produce is more hens.

Rodney is like if Russell Hantz and Brandon Hantz had a baby.

It's ok dude, I don't have a blog. Though I agree this could all be a cunning plan wherein I create demand first. But it's not. Yet.

Hey, I'm highly flattered, thank you.

If I was on white collar, my planned final 3 would be me Tyler and Joaquin. And I would be wrong, because I'd have underestimated Tyler horribly and he would cut me before the end. But right now, they'd be looking like the two I had the best chance of a)working with and b)keeping the heat off me.

One word: Shambo

Agreed about the challenges – Dan, who'd be the presumptive weakest competitor on his tribe, has insisted he play every challenge so far, and so far has largely delivered. It helps that he's getting to prove himself whilst Mike simultaneously lowers his own stock, but it's definitely one of the few things Dan is doing…

I find it kind of amusing that the alliance of the young and the beautiful – normally either the arrogant asses running the show or the oblivious targets of all the other players – could well end up being the players everyone else wants to align with come a swap/merge. A core of three people who all seem low-key, sane…

I thought the editors did a solid job of trying to illustrate that a lot of Nina's problems were of her own making – like cutting from the chat with Joe about how she needed to make more effort to loosen up, join in and have fun, to her standing there being the only person refusing to eat the lizard. She was never…

I'm expecting Jasper to give Maya his bone marrow. Maybe by holding a gun to Cage's head, but I wouldn't be surprised at this point if it ends up being Clarke, talked through by Monty based on his observations from his time in the cage. And it will still work, somehow.

I don't think that she was trying to say. People were trying to talk to her. But take one of the Hali incidents - she tried to say something nice about Nina's top. That was an opportunity to start a conversation in some way - offer up a personal detail, compliment something of Hali's, whatever. But Nina didn't take…

Imagine if Vince wasn't the Coach like we all assumed, but the Phillip Shepherd done right - where the crazy really is all an act concealing a razor sharp strategic mind.
