Dude seemed to have no chance, nobody was really talking with him he would just talk at them. Also was really hoping he'd play the idol... He can always find a new one...RIP

The poker player is probably on borrowed time, better have that switch soon or keep winning.

That pole challenge is so dangerous, I'd be the first to raise the hand to sit that one out. Everybody pulling all kind of joints in all kind of directions, getting jumped on while all kind of joints exposed, I'm almost surprised nobody else got hurt.

That being said, overall the challenges have been great, so versatile, lots of technique and strategy how to approach certain aspects to hide your weaknesses over just brute strength. I hope they can keep that run going.

Samuel is fun to watch, always brings something entertaining to the table.
Mat and Moana getting a lot of screen-time.

What is up with Zach's weird pants? Are those really practical? I don't remember anyone on Survivor having those on constantly.

Looks like the women on the contenders are running the show now, Steve was just the lowest end of that alliance. He did a good job integrating with the men the last few days recovering from his early bad impression. Just fell on the wrong side of the numbers.
Not sure where Paige stands right now, she wasn't in on the vote on either side.

HOLY **** THE EDITORS ARE THE WORST.. when they’re walking to tribal council and they had Steve voiceover “this is going to be the biggest blindside ever and I’m laughing about it” you knew straight away he was the one getting blindsided

How the **** did Tom win. I thought he was drawing dead so early in the game. Kind of happy about it though.

Yeah, it was shocking. The editors trashed all of the final three so much but especially Tom which made the Werner vote-off such a shock.

Jeanne really had a major melt-down. Insisting on relying on major portions of luck and not taking credit for anything, especially voting out the clear best player Werner, was a huge mistake.
Even when they dug deeper she gave all the wrong answers.
I don't know how many of those votes were live (I've not watched the reunion show, yet) but starting from taking Werner off the board and not attacking Tom playing even less of a strategic game while making it insufferable to be around him 24/7 didn't do any good.

I got to say I'm going to miss Zacy. He was a great player to hate.
Why did they even put the two big lads on the vertical maze instead of getting water?

At least Benji was smart enough to cut ties with his shield and vote with the majority.
No idea if he can dig himself out of that hole again, though, he gave some really incoherent justifications for his lies or denied them altogether.

They really put on some big time music again when during the discussions on the Contenders tribe. I usually don't pay too much attention to it but they turned it up so much I barely could follow the dialogue and it felt out of place.

how did they not know to look under the food on the plate for the clue? Im guessing none of them watched the US survivor where it happened

Has there ever been a better hustle than what Werner did during F4? As presented, Werner was the obvious biggest target and of course should have been booted.

If this were any other season, I think we would have only seen Werner trying to convince d*mbass Tom to vote Annalize, resulting in a 2-2 tie. Instead he tries to conspire with Annalize to vote out Tom! Of course, this would only be possible if one of your opponents is Tom-level caliber. When has there ever been an attempt to vote out the F4 "swing vote"? (I can only think of Dan's BB14 F4 hustle).

Great hustle (and great editing) even though it failed.

I didn't expect a food auction so early, that was surprising, yet, still very entertaining. Nice little change to the classic merge-feast. How can you bid 250 Aussie dollars in 20 dollar increments? Brian getting the bowl of rice was gold, too.

What an epic challenge win by Sharn using such unconventional positions which were perfect for the starting rain where Lydia failed to adjust and actually use the pegs. One of the biggest upsets in Survivor history IMHO.

Not gonna lie I was a bit worried about my girls Fanella and Shonee for a while but it worked out in the end. I wish they would team up with Sam but for him it feels like his best bet to stick with all his champions meat-shields as long as possible.

Samuel has such great responses, if he showed any of that in his confessionals, too, he'd be even more entertaining. His little back and forth with Jonathan in most episodes are pure gold.

Wow, what a move. Talking her out of that idol might've cost Sharn any jury credibility in case of a potential tribal council.

We'll probably see a pretty boring episode tomorrow with Steve or Shane going but this episode was worth it.

Benji really maximized the value of his security blanket by the winning of the necklace. Flushing two idols and the biggest threat out of the game in one big swoop.

Mat probably was too cocky in the end to re-affirm Sharn to play it on him but I guess he thought Brian was going either way.
