I'm really liking this season, I wouldn't say it is the best (although it is way too early to tell, most seasons the first 5 episodes are so-so), but it is surely among the good ones. Almost everyone there is an interesting character, and even ones that seemed to be invisible like Sierra and Kelly are starting to show…

The preview of next episode seems to indicate that she is back with the rest of the BCs (except Rodney).

As I understood it, the idea was to put it there for like 30 seconds, but he kept his feet there for almost an hour.

I guess they perhaps thought other people would be more logical then they actually were? Was there a strategical reason for Carolyn to switch sides, besides that she doesn't like them?

I feel the show is preparing a comeuppance for the entire BC tribe. They kept the a-hole, now they are all going down for it.

What she said was a good lession in Survivor (and even life). If you are a old person on a tribe of young carefree people, then pretend to be young and carefree. You don't like eating random lizards people find around? It's okay, but eat it anyway! Survivor is about making friends and fitting in, and Nina was having…

Them being No Collar, maybe they had an agreement like "each one votes for whom he thinks should go, and let the vote decide." It wasn't a very important vote that they -had- to vote together, and it is clear they are tight, so no need to prove trust.

First! I always knew I was a Survivor genius!

I feel that after a swap, if Nina met people more to her type and age, it would be very difficult to keep her allegiance. I feel that is why they cared so much that she be a "No Collar". Because if she feels more comfortable as a WC than NC, what stops her from changing alliance after a swap/merge.

Yeah, I thought the same, surf you catch the wave -before- it crashes…. I would think someone that has surf as her third most important thing would know that.

I feel the editing is questionable on this regard. It looks to me that Jenn and Hali go very far on this game (in fact, I know it is (way) too early for that, but I'm getting some winner vibes from Jenn) and the producers didn't want to Jenna them, so they most likely biased the editing to make them look good.

I feel the "How's your health?" thing wasn't even the problem, the problem was saying Vince has been talking about his health. A simple "How's your health? I saw you a little down earlier today, I got worried" wouldn't scary anyone.

Yes, those "crazy types" become quite annoying (and sometimes even dangerous) when they see they lost their power. Or they quit.

I feel Will's strategy is sound. The tribe is united now, and he is bottom-but-one in the pole, with a strong alliance (Nina) and weak one with the others. In the best case scenario, they just fly through the pre-swap game, and he can join any NC tribemate he ends up with, but even if they lose again, Nina is going…

The suspense was so good that even though edit screamed Jenn was not going home (if she were a 2nd episode vote-out, no matter how funny she is, they would never give her that much attention), I still got quite nervous, especially when I saw they sticked to that dumb, dumb idea of vote split. For a while I even…

Good podcast, but I wouldn't be so conservative on the 0% chance club. I would put: Hali Ford (Hali who?), Joaquin (very negative screen time), Nina (goes out next episode, Jeff flamed her pre-season), Rodney and Sierra (appeared only once to say Dan might be lying).

I was surprised that the WC, supposedly the smarter ones, chose the most straightforward and slow puzzle. I'm pretty sure the challenge was designed so the WC would choose the 5 pieces one, the No collars the 10 pieces and the BC the 50 pieces one.
