Keith is sort of likeable (although it seems to be more to us viewers than to the people there), but he knows *nothing* of survivor. Although it seems this has happened in the past, I feel the jury would be very reluctant to give someone like that the win. At least Josh, Reed and Jeremy I feel would never vote for…

At that point I was sure this was winner's edit, as the episode moved along I started thinking "either he is going out tonight or he is winning this, no third option". Still a bad sign.

So assuming Natalie and Reed will be big names in this season going forward (and PLEASE tell me that is so, otherwise all is lost), what does that say about the edit showcasing their allies Josh and Jeremy WAY better than them in the first half of the season? Does this make any sense production-wise? I mean, we see…

From Survivor Wiki, Fabio and Jenna are the youngest survivor winners, at 21. So that would make Baylor the youngest. But I do agree that is highly far-fetched, I just meant it would probably qualify as something "unconventional".

Maybe Baylor? How old is the youngest winner so far?

One thing I feel people are not realizing is that because of the BvW twist, a F4 agreement between the two couples IS the same as a F3 agreement!

If people were saying the merge episode was Jeremy "dodging the bullet and striding towards victory", can we say this episode was the same for Jon? When I saw the Uterus confessional I literally screamed at the TV "OMG Jon is the winner, nooooooooo!"

At first I also thought Reed would get with Natalie, but this was shown to be impossible this episode. The point is that Reed's plan was completely dependent on Jon not seeing it coming (because of the idol). So he wanted to bring in the least amount of people that would be enough to carry out the plan, so to minimize…

I feel the most humiliating part is that they didn't show ONE scene of Wes at the Exile Island on his last episode in the show. That is how highly the producers think of him.

Bad players can sometimes make good episodes, but only good players can make good seasons.

He clearly thought that was unnecessary to spell out. Huge mistake…

I don't know if I just saw it with different eyes (and this has much to do with editing, so it doesn't excuse the show), but I never had the feeling in Cagayan people were being stupid.

The only way to save this season from being my absolute least favourite is for them to unite and punish (all) the rest for their stupidity.

I am watching Palau right now, and just today I saw the episode where they vote Gregg out. The edit is very clear on why and how it is going to happen, and yet it is way more satisfying than this episode. Surprise for surprise's sake is not how a blindside works. It must be about the strategy and characters behind it.

IMO the problem is that (at least as I see it) none of MJJB would have a chance against Reed at FTC. So while it is possible he could be swing vote at F5, and if he plays the pairs one against the other very well, I agree with you that it might be a reasonable strategy for him, it is difficult to see them keeping him…

I guess the question is what is the best move for Reed. I believe if he goes with MJJB he is out at Top5, while allying himself with Natalie and bringing Alec to Top 3 seems a smarter choice, but with these people, who knows.

I don't know, it doesn't make sense to me. MB had a strong top-6 where they would be the top players, they had basically a top-4 for BOTH. They changed this for chaos (and in minority!). Chaos is only good for those that are in the bottom, not on top.

What was Missy and Baylor's logic?

Yes, I guess you are right, if Jon didn't go to Jeremy to admit he had the idol (especially after Jeremy going to EI), then Jeremy: 1) shouldn't have said anything to Jon about it, and 2) he should have noticed his alliance wasn't anywhere near as strong as he imagined, and be more on his toes.

I agreed with you, I think the safest would be in two weeks, when they would remain the majority (and possibly have gotten rid of Keith's idol), but they should have at the very least waited until next week, when they would have a tie (and thus only need to bring one person over). But to put themselves as a strict…
