Just wait until they pull out the Aussie reality TV show trump card of bringing back all the eliminated contestants for a challenge and the winner gets back in the game.
Or intruders, new people who just randomly join halfway through the season

yup, this is a staple of the Danish version as well

which is why I don't watch it

Enjoyable merge episode overall. Auction was .... interesting. Nobody from former Vavao really going for the advantages instead wasting their money on food. Great reaction shots, though.

Good recovery from Nick when he was busted by Lee, Nick is such great character, I hope he can get into the swing-vote spot next few episodes because he's still on everybody's radar.

Flick and Brooke are so manipulative and arrogant, not really sure if I wanna hug them or slap them. It was pretty comical when Brooke shadowed Sammie.

Sammie is not the sharpest, is he. They even dubbed him when everybody knew they're merging and he just didn't get it.

Kate's dangerous, she just knows how to push the right buttons without appearing strategic. If the game somehow turns, I'm sure she's going to be right in the middle of it.

Kristie really is the flip-flopping queen of this season. Every time she's in the minority she just joins the other side without hesitation.

Looking forward to tomorrow and hope they STOP VOTING OUT ALL MY FAVORITES! ;(

im disappointed sammie didn't fight more for connor. connor is maybe the nicest guy to ever play survivor.

so awful for connor, sue and kate to not all vote together.

connor needed to campaign against nick "nick got an advantage! nick is running the game! nick has to go!"

flick and brook are a power couple. they will be broken up.

Really? He was super transparent and Lee saw right through it.

The level of game play last episode was really poor and I'm afraid at least another few episodes will be boring.

i like the poor gameplay. i think it makes more interesting.

if nick truly didn't want the advantage, he should have just refused to take it, right in front of everybody. or if he thought it was so awful, give it to someone else.

Lol telegraph the votes so hard. Make it so obvious nick needed to play the idol. Hope one of those 3 girls dont win.

Poor game play can be entertaining. I'm worried in this season it will just make the rest of the game predictable. We have a majority alliance where I think the bottom of the alliance will be unwilling, unable or too unaware to make the moves they need to win the game. Those are Katie, Kristie, JL and Nick.

The predictable boot order would be (roughly):

Kate
Nick
Sue
Katie
Kristie
Sammy
Lee
Matt
JL

Final 3: Brooke, Flick, El

I.e. a post-merge with the excitement level of South Pacific.

Matt really is a magician. He managed to make himself disappear and become totally purple this episode and even managed that Jenna-L became hidden with him.
People didn't even notice that he used his assistant to take his spot during this episode and that he disconnected his mic.

If Sam and Lee wanted to flip they should've done it last episode and kept Conner. Now they're in a tough spot and are exposed. They've also lost Conner and Kate who would've been good allies for them. Don't like this at all.

flipping to keep connor would have been the correct play.

the last two boots have been rough.

they need to rise up! get flook(flick/brook) out

katie is such a little weasel!!!!! i hate how she immediately ratted out the plan and went running to brook who has totally treated her like ****. and i bet sammie doesn't even confront her about it.

they were pretty rough on nick tonight. and what nick was saying is true. they are all lying. even sue and connor lied! maybe JL hasn't lied, but she hasn't even said anything

Why are ppl calling Kylie Katie?

Also, wow... Several of these guys are being legit mean towards Nick. I was thinking the same thing he said. He lied about the idol clue from the dilemma thing, just like everyone else did. Besides that, he's probably been the most "honest" person out of anyone in the game. The others talking behind his back and conspiring to get out a supposed fellow ally are the snakes.

Christ, it tilts the **** out of me. If they would just admit to it, then that's cool, but being mean towards him for being a "snake" when they are more conniving really gets to me.

Season going downhill really fast.

After last episode I really want Connor back so I have someone to root for.

while I did like Connor, it's a good thing that the "good guys" didn't just win out, since that would've made for a very boring and predictable endgame

with this alliance winning out, there's def a lot of play left in this season

Pretty brutal, but it does suck when the people on the bottom don't realise they are on the bottom. Or even worse, when they do realise but think they can work their way in. Just delusional. Think it's going to be fairly predictable unfortunately.

Endurance challenge was pretty epic, I don't think I could've ever done 6.5 hours even if I was just sitting on top that pole.
Even though, it was slightly easier than the U.S. version where they had notches instead of rope all their times where pretty amazing.

You could argue of some of them it's not even smart to go that far and conserve energy since you can guess that some of the girls and even Lee won't be beaten. To bad Kate wasn't in anymore, that would've been even crazier.

Good move by Kristie giving up her letter, if Matt ever wakes up after Nick gave him the rundown of what's going on she might have a chance to capitalize but the clock is ticking.
The three witches need to be broken up soon, final 7 might be too late to do so.

Huge dip in quality this week especially the letters from home episode that was brutal. The editing has been terrible as well. I understand the season is very predictable but we've known who will get voted out half way through every episode.

**** off kylie with that exit interview "i kinda knew if it wasn't tonight it would be in 2 nights time. my advice for everyone is you need to start playing the game at some point"

When Sam tried to play the game you ran back and told people his moves to keep you on the "in" so that you could get voted out in 10th. Finally JL wants to do something but seems like kristie will blow up her game and then kristie will get voted out in 7th.

Lol at Kylie's "the jury villa". Keeps saying how she knew it was her going.

"I just don't feel like anyones playing the game except for brooke"

"I came in wanting to play a strong game"

"I was at Fia Fia for how many days? I did not get the blanket once, does that speak volumes?"

"Day 1 people had already made assumptions and I felt left out on our first tribal. From that day I had no chance of connecting in that network."

"Hopefully someone respects the game enough to make some moves, outwit, out play and then I will give them my vote"

Yet you just went along with it and hoped they voted for someone else. So glad shes gone.

They've just lost their final chance to flip this game.

The three witches just keep them all pinned against each other and fight for their own life instead of uniting against those who run it.

Another balance challenge, men are getting owned by the selection, not a single puzzle in there so far.

Next couple episode most likely will be just some edited-in drama and pagonging.

Pre-merge season was so much better, the wrong players just got voted out or screwed by twists.

Ok I'm out this is turning out to be the worst season of survivor ever. Maybe next time when you're casting ask people if they've seen the show before.

It's kind of hard to see how the game will be shaken up from here, but I sure am glad Kylie is off my screen.

It's definitely gone down hill. The start of the game was super promising but the producers ****ed things up something awful. The string of boots of Andrew, Craig, Phoebe, Conner and Kate was not ideal. I'm still on board because now I want to see if Brooke or Flick can win it.

Agree with the general sentiment. It's a shame. I hope Brooke at least wins out of that fivesome.
