K go

I feel bad that Kellyn has too be associated with the rest of her group.
---

2 tribe swaps in 4 episodes, but this one was actually a blessing. NuMalolo sucks.
---

I told you Invisio would hate Bradley! Lol

But yeah screw those guys for basically pagonging this thing. These guys aren't following the Tyson Apostol rule of your new tribe is THE TRIBE. I wouldn't be surprised if they get screwed in the second swap by bring stuck with all original malolo. And that would make me happy.
---

I'm really mad this is a 20 person season because if there's anybody ever that I spitefully want to see make the merge and not be on the jury, it's Bradley.
---

jenna crying and stephs face in her hands made me cry ;(
---

By the way, I gotta say, with Stephanie's elimination, unless we get a Natalie White, it's pretty much a lock that a guy wins this one. She was the last woman left receiving anything even remotely resembling a winner's edit.
---

Maaaaaybe Kellyn but yeah I agree.
---

If Chris wins, there's going to be a live Probst fap celebration.
---

Last night is a perfect example of why you should be allowed to smash any urn at Ghost Island instead of a fixed order. Last night the person who needed an advantage the most went to GI, and didn't even have an opportunity for an advantage. Sure, anyone could have gone, but the fact that someone doesn't even have an opportunity to change their fate is bull. It's even worse than Exile Island because at least on Exile you have ALWAYS had an opportunity for a clue or advantage. Ghost Island without even an opportunity for an advantage is 100% punishment.
---

Yeah, the Ghost Island thing has been kind of a dud after the first episode.
---

Laurel could be a winner for sure
---

Im enjoying bbcan right now more than survivor, as expected since bb is best pre-jury and survivor picks up post-merge
---

That whole episode was just a bummer
---

2 minutes in @Peridiam, unsure what you mean by greatest. Best exemplifies the qualities of a survivor goat? Most entertaining? A goat with the greatest chance of winning? Vague "I like this guy/girl" criteria?
---

"Best exemplifies the qualities of a Survivor goat" is definitely it. Also given Naomi I didn't expect anything different upon seeing the title.
---

Boy do I feel like the jury of MvGX got the winner wrong. I know perception is reality but in the edit I feel like Hannah played the better game and had the better of FTC. I don't know why Adam annoys me so much but I don't feel like his game was the overly impressive.

I would have voted for Hannah had I been on that jury, but I understand why Adam won.

Yeaaah. I am saying that on the outside looking in

context is hard

(for me)
---

This season has been really uninspiring, hasn't it?
---

yep
---

nooooo maddy is my winner pick please dont get evicted

I finished Millenials vs Gen X and man this season was worse than I remembered and it's outcome bothers me more than the Koah Rong one. In this project of mine, I have been picking out players I wouldn't mind seeing again. For MvGX, obviously the front runners are David and Jay. And then the rest of the cast I am just lukewarm on. Like I know Chris, Brett, and Jessica are entertaining on RHAP but they weren't really that on the show. Same goes for Hannah and Adam really.

I'm on Game Changers now, and while I celebrated the loss of Ciera I really lost some of my all time favorites in the first few episodes.

Man, I really hate the negative stigma that is JT on the Survivor world because I just really like JT on this show and his return trips look just so terrible. And this may be because of how much I like him but I just viewed him as a gambler and then running into the buzzsaw that is Sandra after losing the gamble. Idk that's just me.

That being said, I think the prejury trip of Tony, Caleb, Malcolm, JT, and Sandra would make great TV lol
---

Err.... That being said his boot episode is a lot worse than I remembered.
---

In mild defense of JT, he played a very safe game in his first game and won. Knowing that he literally could not improve upon his original placement, he played riskier, bordering on reckless, in his subsequent outings to see if he could win a different way, and failed.
---

I think that is likely the best way to describe JT.
---

Errr.... the Varner moment looks even worse in the rewatch. In all of his exit press, he says what he did wasn't premeditated but than is NOT what the edit reads at all and it is very bad.
---

That EW fan ranking is up. Without spoiling either outright, they said that neither the race for first place nor last place was even remotely close.

hhh got crucified
---

That's what I posted a second ago but saw that Darkx didn't want to spoil so I put it in spoilers

My biggest personal discrepancies are Africa (me 8, actual 20) and Vanuatu (me 5, actual 18) but the biggest is Micronesia (me 25, actual 2). And boy that is one season where I just don't get the love for it.

---

Chris is SUCH a great character.
---

Desiree getting too much screen time AND talking about having the numbers... bye bye
---

I think Laurel is the one most swap screwed but they have a lot of good challenge people.
---

Man, Malolo is just a cursed tribe, isn't it?

Seriously. More like Malolol.
---

Um. No Ghost Island This episode. Is this the MoP of themes?
---

A new malololow
---

If losing the immunity challenge was the worst moment of your life, I envy your life.
---

Look at the difference

Right after Desiree says that losing the immunity challenge is the worst moment of her life, James and Angela talk about how their lives have prepared them for this situation.
---

Looks like they just phoned this episode in lpl
---

Des is pretty whatever. James isnt too great either. I expect James to go, Angela gonna stay purple.
---

Why couldn't they target Michael? Targetting James just means Des/Kellyn are totally safe and can choose between Michael or Angela.
---

Because Angela is flipping. Also, she had some story this episode so I don't think she's still purple
---

Brute strength ain't worth shit if you're going to keep losing regardless.
---

They just aren't going to be obvious at all this season lol
---

So Angela just decided to leave her fate in the hands of the girls (who have spent more time with Michael than with her) when they inevitably lose next episode. Brilliant.
