Yessss that tribal was so good SO GOOD! I had such a big reaction when Kaleb's scroll was revealed. I'm really happy with the outcome.

You know that Emily had to be counting those votes in her head since there were only 11 votes and last time she's the one who called out "somebody didn't vote!"

Best episode so far this season. Best episode in a long time, actually. Loved it. I was so worried they were going to vote out Emily on the re-vote; I'm glad she lives to fight another day. I hope she and Kaleb continue to work together.
I can't stand the girl who is trying to be Carolyn 2.0.

I just finished the episode. Amazing tribal council.
I still hate almost everyone. I do hate Emily a little less

I really really dislike Drew. I don’t even know why. I also don’t really like Austin and again, have no good reason why I shouldn’t. I think it’s probably because he likes Drew 😂
I don’t like that Caleb threw out the Reba girls at tribal, because I think Dee is going to hold that against him forever now. I think he could have just make it against Reba all together since they were the only group of 6 left in the game, rather than singling out the trio of girls, because we know Dee didn’t even like J.Maya anyway. I’m so glad he stayed.
Bruce is playing terribly, but sometimes I enjoy having awful players hang around for awhile, because they are so oblivious and it just makes good tv
I’m rooting for Katurah (and her hatred for Bruce). Kaleb the Canadian 😂 Dee and Julie, and Jake. And Emily a little bit too.

Ugh I was so sad for Caleb, after his dramatic last tribal I really wanted him to stay.

Katurah really chose to jump from the bottom of Belo to the bottom of a tribe she’s known for two days in Reba. I mean I get that the idea of going to rocks for two guys that excluded you from knowing about a secret idol your enemy has isn’t really a great deal lol but I don’t think there was any chance in hell Austin was going to rocks for Julie. It was a tough call but I truly didn’t think that was the shot she would take. Looks like Jake is gonna pay the price now and I love him.

I freaking love survivor auction.
I’m glad they did away with advantages in it though.

This episode was great. Loved seeing the auction back with the multiple twists (including finding the money beforehand), loved the slicing of the rice bag at the challenge to force along the decision, and loved the blindside at Tribal Council.

Jake had no clue and I love that. I was surprised the auction didn’t have a letter from home but I loved it.

It’s wild to me that’s there is what, 9 people left and I think it’s only day 16 or 17 or something. I just remember noticing it said Day 15 at one point during the episode. There’s a lot of things they’ve done better this season and I suppose the length of the season doesn’t matter too much as long as they are showing us the stuff that really matters, but it’s so crazy to me that it hasn’t even been 2.5 weeks survivor time.

I'd be so annoyed if I were on an earlier season- 40 days in Gabon meadows where there wasn't even water to bath in, or the Amazon where they were up on stilts in a river and could barely even touch the swampy piranha ground, compared to 20 days in Fiji on a beautiful beach lol

I don't necessarily think Austin made a bad decision in telling Dee because that will keep them strong. But I do think Dee made the wrong decision in telling Julie. Like she gained the bridge in Julie but burnt the one with Drew so what was the point of that trade off. She should have just gone with Austin and Drew. But I am glad that Julie used it on Emily, I was screaming please don't take out Austin after he's the one who gave you that freaking idol and is the one who tipped off Dee. Austin now has his idol so he's in top 5 and it looks like next week, with Dee at Drew at wat that maybe Jacob and Katurah will get to slide past. I could not believe Katurah's story about the cult!

I haven't been super jazzed with the last few seasons (too many twists, too many advantages swirling around), so I have been picking up random seasons to rewatch. I finished S17 - Gabon last week and just started S20 - Heroes v. Villians

I finished S17 - Gabon last week and just started S20 - Heroes v. Villians We got the Season 1 DVDs from the library over the summer. Man that was crazy to watch. A lot slower but the challenge were a lot more survival based. Also a lot of questionable comments by some of the players. Not to mention Richard’s nudity.

I was screaming for the exact opposite - I was dying for Julie to take out Austin with his own idol. It would have been amazing. Lol Emily definitely grew on me and I was sad to see her go. I would much rather see the girl go further than the guy (Austin). With that said, I don’t know what she was thinking working as hard as she did to get out Bruce last week. I guess she thought she was a lot closer with Austin and Drew than she was. Reba needed to be broken up, but then again, apparently not, as they immediately went after Julie this week. What really stinks is Drew would have likely been the one to go home had Austin just figured out the dang word at the end of the Immunity Challenge and won. Buuutttt then again, Drew probably wouldn’t have pushed so hard for Julie to leave if he didn’t have the safety of immunity. All those little things is what is finally making this a good season…..coupled with an extra half hour, which has been HUGE! I really, really hope they keep this a permanent change. And omg to Katurah’s story. Wow. But yes, I love that she has made it clear to not make it about what she has been through, but look at what she has DONE! She is amazing! I was so glad to see that her and Jake were not on the chopping block at all last week!

I wish Austin had been ousted, too. It's what he deserves for blabbing to Dee, who is apparently running everything. Why Julie didn't turn around and vote Dee after she spilled Austin is her #1 is beyond me. Also, why did they not split the votes to take away Julie's power and split between her and Austin?
Also, Austin and Dee? Boston Rob and Ambuh did the romance angle one million times better.

Also, why didn't Austin ask Julie for his idol back? Yes, it would have looked sketchy but so what?

I was so glad to see Drew go home. I never liked him (truly had no reason) but seriously what a poor sport; the second something didn’t go his way, he became such a whiny man child. He’s like, legit mad at Julie for having the nerve to survive that brutal tribal council last week, when he was the one that turned on his alliance. He’s mad that he doesn’t get picked for a reward. Yuck. He looked ridiculous, and it was nice to see him make a bit of a fool of himself at trial council before getting sent home.
Bye.

I continue to love this season. Any of the remaining 5 can make a great case for winning, and I don't think I'd be disappointed with any of them. Honestly, Katurah who is the most likeable in my eyes has the least compelling resume (but the most compelling story??), but she's still really been on an island and had to scrap to get by.

I am happy with the outcome. I think Dee was the best player. Katurah should have stuck with her vote and taken her out, although I don't know that it would have affected the outcome because I could absolutely see Austin winning over any of the rest of them if it wasn't Dee. I kinda felt bad for Jake because he wanted that big moment of the surprise idol on Katurah and it saving her and I'm a person who likes to be the one pulling the surprise too so I get why he didn't tell her. But it was still crazy that those votes were all over the place and not unified.

I think she was a deserving winner. Austin was a strong player but Dee outplayed him. As much as I loved Jake, his game was not strong but props to him for trying over and over. Katurah shot herself in the foot and I have never cared for her personal brand of Survivor chaos.
I do think Julie would have won if she sat at the end. This has been the only season of new era Survivor I have somewhat enjoyed. I think the 90 minute episodes helped it not feel as agame botty as 41-44.
