The best version of Rob (back then he was Mariano). One of the best (and first) great downfalls/power-shifts in Survivor. The bright shinning light that is Kathy. Underrated winner who used subtle game play and the first person to switch alliances multiple times.

You probably should re-watch Marquesas.

I was certain that Natalie was winning until the F4 tribal counsel when she said she could win etc. and I thought it was a concession speech. I was so happy to be wrong.

I think knowing what the story is that it's telling the pre-merge would be a lot better on a re-watch. Also, the pre-merge/quit did have the fantastic Drewshbag episode. I really enjoyed the season. Not in my top ten. Probably, would be in the teens somewhere. It sure did come on like gangbusters there at the end…

I thought it was much better than Caramoan, but that season is easily in my bottom 5 so it isn't that hard to top it.

Well if Keith went home rather than Baylor it seems likely that Jacklyn would have still won immunity at F4 cause I don't think Baylor would have. If so I'm pretty sure Missy and Baylor aren't turning on each other so turns out that was the right move.

Damn Natalie's got some balls.

I love your attitude. It feels like a lot of people haven't liked this season while I have. I really think this season is about story arches. Especially Natalie's story of revenge. The pre-merge was a bit slower than some seasons, but set up the post merge very well. I think (re)binge watching it will make it…

It's just strategy. Frankly it usually doesn't work so I wouldn't worry to much. If anything isn't it interesting to watch someone give away reward get voted out the next day?

Candice and John Cody from the original BvW were on RHPA in the last two weeks, and apparently they can't just hand it off the HII. If you have a communal bag or something you might get away with it, But that's debatable. If it's in your position and you're voted out HII is gone with you.

Not sure it lines up exactly with me but pretty close. To correct though the "Fat 5" took out the other males who posed a physical threat,. But the 4 young guys were not smart. They thought a 4 person alliance in a 9 person tribe was good idea. Apprently at leasat a few of the young Lopevi were made fun of behind…

I might have had a premature victory beverage or two in honor of Natalie, and lots of words became not my friend. So I might have skimmed some parts. But it boils down to that she is my odds on favorite to win FTC against anyone. So the real question to me is if she makes it to FTC, and I only see one serious…

We lost by a bunch of rules!

You have very similar thought to me. Clay is hilarious ("No shit Sherlock"). Brain being so psychopathic is very interesting to watch. It also has my favorite, by far, FIC. And one of, if not, my favorite tribe challenges the ATTACK ZONE! Which ends awesomely with Robb channeling Russell Hantz from the future.

She's got an idol to get to F4. She's got Missy, Baylor, and Keith. Jaclyn getting to F4 and winning immunity is really her only challenge. Missy and Baylor have said several times they want to got to F3 with her. Natalie saved Keith plus he's still pissed at the other three from the Dale vote. So even if he wins…

You are correct sir.

1. You know they've been doing that since at least season 6, and even then production prompted them to give it up. I can't really fault the players doing something that production has teased them to do for so many seasons.

Candice and Cody from the original BvW were on RHAP this past week (maybe two weeks ago now?) and they basically confirmed you can't just hand off the idol when you're voted out. Though if you did something with like a shared bag you leave if you get voted out maybe you could get away with it, but I doubt that…

Probst does now that he doesn't have that talk show.
