Anyone with me? Survivor is hands down my favorite show that no one I know watches, so I am pumped with my wine and my snacks all by myself. DD even went to bed early as a special gift!

I'm here for it. Might have to watch tomorrow, though. It starts at 7 here and that's right at the start of bedtime for the little monsters.

I'm not really into these themed tribes. Nothing ever really seems to come of it. Why not just do green vs. orange like in the old days?

I have heard all these peoples voices on the pre season podcast I listened to, but I never looked at a cast photo. Some of them are not what I pictured.

I’m here. But I have to wait until my kids go to bed at 745 to watch.
I’m in a Survivor pool with my sister, her husband and MH. I won last season and they still haven’t paid up, the cheapskates.

They finish casting then try to figure out groupings that most people will fall into one way or another. Which is why there are always some random players on each team that don’t quite fit. |

Did anyone catch more about the super idol? How often will there be one? Or if Chrissy doesn't use it tonight does she have to pass it on? How did she get it? I missed all that while MH was talking baseball.

Anyone know which celebrity Ally is an assistant for?! She said youtuber and immediately I was thinking one of the makeup youtubers but then she said she had to do makeup and I don't think they would trust their assistants with their makeup..

I watched! I think the themes are a bit silly and then the players try to hard to fit into their theme. I'm a bit disappointed the super idol didn't get played. At first I thought Chrissy made a mistake not playing it, but now I realize it was probably a wise move, however I would have enjoyed the drama. |

Survivor never disappoints in drama/blindsides, so I will just be patient. |

It would be smart for Chrissy to never mention the idol while the loose cannon guy is still around.
She could use it later in the game if Ashley is still around and she needs her. She could say she saved her by not using it. But that can always backfire as we've seen many times.
I don't like skinny weasel guy. I don't like probation officer guy, I can see him being a villain. Paranoia dude needs to chill with his eyes popping out of his skull. I'm surprised if he will last much longer backstabbing his team members like that. From the looks of it red headed guy is weird/crazy so that could get interesting. I like the strong girl on the hustler team she seems like she might go far. Who knows though my favorites in the beginning somehow always get annoying or get voted off.
(Sorry I don't have their names in front of me so I had to label them)

I wish she would have used it to convince Alan and Ben to vote out Ashley. I don't think she would have needed to convince anyone. She could have voted for Ashley, then played the idol for the Olympian and Ashley would have gone home. I don't think there would have been a revote. I don't mind Ashley. I think the whole power couple idea in the first couple of days is silly. How is their alliance any different from anyone else's really? You're right about the blindsides though. If we're patient I'm sure there will be plenty. Plus, now Chrissy is the swing vote in a two vs. two showdown, so it's probably good she didn't play it. Playing it would have put a target on her. |

Not only does Chrissy not fit that group, I thought she was very full of herself. She was like well I raised kids and then went back to this GREAT career where I make SOO much money, I better not tell people because they won't want a rich person to win. wtf was that about.

Funny - I know someone who worked with her, so I was excited to start this season and watch her, feeling like I knew her by proxy. He said she was a super nice, down to earth person. I do not understand why she was on the heroes tribe and I also thought she sounded like a cocky bitch in that sound bite. |

What do y'all think about the possibility of Chrissy playing that super idol as a fake later in the game?
ETA, either at tribal or as a bluff outside of tribal
