Would have been near impossible to put an episode together and keep the season on the proper episode pace and do that. Above all else Survivor is a TV show.

"Fairplay's buddy."

Ab-so-lutely

How dare you not mention Down Periscope!

"Speaking of personal insults and low manipulation, how do people feel about Fairplay and his Dead Grandmother?"

"Have we ever had a challenge before the opening credits? Not counting Redemption Island duels/truels?"

This episode was unique and memorable, but ultimately it was not a great episode and probably the weakest so far this season. The medical evacuation played out exactly how it looked like it would play out from the previews/commercials so I thought it was robbed of some of the tension. Personally I was mild on Caleb…

Do you not remember the run from 21 to 24?

Or it was just further proof in that job they didn't have the proper equipment to test the water, but she's so good she can do it by eye sight so she did. So far it seems like she can evaluate water on eye sight.

I don't know I much more enjoyed Peter being blindsided by this vote than Savage getting idol-ed out last season.

They only show people looking for the idol if they find it or for some kind of plot development such as other people noticing they're looking for the idol. They only have 42 minuets no time to waste on people looking and trees and stuff and finding nothing.

I don't really use twitter so I'm ok with it.

Survivor has 7 to 8 times more viewers and is actually enjoyable to watch.

"- uh, Jason, you lost two challenges. Worst tribe in history? Have you seen Palau?"

You spelled amazing in a really weird way.

It's nearly impossible to be worse than Ulong

Colby is offended.

You're forgetting that his tribe kept winning immunity so he threw the challenge to help himself get voted out. That's dedication.

The idol is in a lock box. The key to the box is on the tree he was trying to clime. The 'stick' is to help get the key down from the tree. He didn't clime high enough to get the key.

Drew worked much harder and longer to secure his being voted out.
