I had about half the scenes finished and accidentally closed the browser.

*&^&%%$^@%*&(*&MHGFFFRMMMFFFF%&^$&%#%$%^

SS

i was ambivalent (Trish): New team. Whatever. Happy to see LJ and Jeffra. Glowing recommendation for LJ. Boston connection. Jeffra is about her daughter's age. Yay. connections. weee balls

biggest smile in the world (spencer): New life. Yay. more weeee ballls. Made it just by the skin of his teeth. almost out of the game to in a good position. more room to work.

i was terrified (alexis): excited about this challenge. loves rough housing. If she gets on the pole, no girls can pull her off. She volunteered to be on the pole. Thinks she can hold her own against two small girls. But LJ is going to pull her off. She was nervous. She had to last longer on the pole than cliff. She was terrified. Was the reward she wanted. She dreamed about it. Had to walk past and smell it, but not even taste it. Was so bummed.

LOL

i like jeremiah (kass): She and Tahsa learned that Jeremiah does indeed have a personality and is able to speak...English. Jeremiah spilled the beans. He feels he is on the outs. Feels that LJ does not like him. Jeremiah wants to hang with the brains. He is not playing a social game. He's fair at the challenges. He's nice to look at. Kass likes him. Good girl.

i'm bouncing off the walls (jeremiah): Really good impersonation of Boomhauer. Spot on. We was rollin'. LOL really LOL

it could have been worse (woo!): Heart sunk at the buff dropage. Winning momentum is a good thing. yada. he couldn't be happier. feels bad for his girl, Sarah. yada

If I am writing a long post I always use a text editor like word or notepad then cut and paste it into a browser for this exact reason.

There is no emoticon that conveys...so this is me glaring at you.

Yes, I just did it again. At least this time I had copied my text fairly recently.

Rum is evil.

SS2

an unbelievable decision (jeremiah): Trish picked rice. So much rice it's unreal. Yay rice. It's keeping his energy up. Wheee balls.

a really good chemistry (tasha): Yay new tribe. Gelling. Good Chemistry. Nice camp is helpful. yada. Sitting a person out was an ordeal. Everyone wanted to compete. yay. f people who want to sit out. had to rock paper scissors it. We are very focused. yada. two girls in the front of the log is no good. they can't lift it. someone called an audible. get some guys up there to lift the log. (They are used to lifting the log.) yada. They drove it home.

a comfortable home (sarah): If you don't have a good shelter it's miserable when it's raining. Brawns were spoiled. They cut open a fruit and it was like these other people were on a reward. Rested, fed, comfortable probably plays a role. yada

i have mom strength (lindsey): mom stength yada sarah is an ox.

a commanding position (cliffy): "A switch definitely could have worked out a lot worse for me." yada. Worked out pretty good. yada. We understand the position we are in, having the numbers, having the challenge prowess, having a former member as a swing vote on the other tribe. Hopefully, Sarah will be able to keep the crosshairs off her back and knock off a member of one of the other tribes.

a dream come true (jeffra): Challenge was brutal. Survivor is hard core. we wanted donuts and coffee. donut was the best thing she has ever tasted. she dreamed about them the night before. yada mmmm chocolate chip cookies. yada let's just go all the way. maybe we can realign with alexis and jeremiah.

SS3

a dream come true (kass): Huge shelter built for an NBA star at brawn. Felt like a sultan. THere's pillows, dry bedding, and food. Where is Tattoo? Not lindsey, that guy from fantasy island.

i think i'm in a good spot (boobs): wasnt shocked about having to drop buffs. wasn't close to people on her former tribe. happy to meet new people. camp not that great, shelter not that great. happy to move on up to brawn. not too happy with jeremiah and alexis.

my emotions are mixed (LJ): First look was yuck, I'm in the middle of nearly the entire brawn tribe. Second look was yay, I'm in the middle of nearly the entire brawn tribe. "I might be guaranteed to make it to the next merge." "There is almost no question, unless we are blindfolded, that we should be able to make it to the merge." Pretty confident about his tribe's ability to win challenges. Yeah, I thought so too. Oops.

out of our comfort zone (cliffy): Misses old camp. must adjust and adapt. Also, confident about winning challenges.

cliffy SS: Lindsey: "So, I'm feeling pretty good about this. We are in amazing position." Cliff, Lindsey, Woo, feeling pretty good about their spot.

love to have some eggs: Tony making a nest for the chickens. Trying to make them comfortable so they will lay some eggs. Jeffra is a worthless country girl.

cliff the day after: all in all a great experience. survivor is a tough game. experience was all he expected. fact that he is 6' 10" former NBA player might have had more of an effect than he expected. must work with people you may have differences with on a team regardless of whether on survivor or on a basketball team. worst moment was not listening to his instincts when dealing with Tony. Tony flipped and Cliff paid. Game is harder than it look on TV. There is a 24 hour day you have to deal with. you have to keep yourself motivated and ready. No bad feelings towards anyone. It's a game. Having a chip on your shoulder because someone voted you off doesn't do him any good. Even so, hopes Trish and Tony does't get the money but wishes everyone else good luck.

I meant it as a tip not an indictment.

Honestly based on edit i think her absolute best case scenario is being dragged as a goat to F3. I don't think they would ever show a winner how they are showing her.

wat. Tasha, Kass, Sarah and Alexis all have wayyyyy better edits aorn than Trish. And they're probably all better at the game than Trish

Unfair!? lol... What if there were no conversation?

On the After show, Cliff said he didn't notice any kind of conversation between Tony and LJ. He also thinks it was Trish (and their Boston connection) that talked Tony into keeping LJ and voting out Cliff.

I dunno why you all think LJ and Tony had a conversation. LJ trusts Trish, and if Trish tells him Tony is solid, he'll probably go for it.

Agreed on Sarah.

Tasha and Alexis maybe.

Kass? LOL

If Tony and LJ didn't have any kind of talk, then LJ had some pretty big stones to not play his idol. Also if Tony makes a huge decision like moving forward in the game with LJ instead of Cliff, it would only make sense for him to try to strengthen that relationship by talking to LJ. Saving someone as influential as LJ without getting any kind of verbal protection in return from LJ would be pretty poor by Tony imo

I agree with what you're saying, but even a chat/verbal agreement with Tony shouldn't mean much at this point. So in my mind, he had stones either way, with or without this chat.

I feel like Tony just didn't want to break his bond with Trish, and let her do all the talking on this one, while pretending to be close to the other 4. I mean, Trish was following LJ like a puppy, if Tony made it any clear that he had a close bond with her then there's no way Woo/Lindsey would ever look this surprised at tribal.

So basically I think both Trish and Tony did a pretty good job, and LJ took a huge risk. I expect (hope) to see Tony socializing more with LJ/Jefra, now that all the cards are laid on the table.

So did the new Solana tribe get all of the chickens? That's some pretty sick run-bad for Jeremiah, Morgan, and Alexis.

I can't imagine. It's two new tribes.

Do we know who's camp was abandoned at the merge? We know for sure that Solana went to the beauty camp, which in theory is where the chickens are if they are still around.

And how does nobody find gman's HII?

Sarah's tribe went to the Brawn camp, because she made some comment about doing the laundry, cleaning up, etc. if she knew. Also trish's 2 bags of rice were there

Maybe they draw for camp off camera?

For some reason I thought the tribe names and colors didn't change from the beauty and brawn tribes. They just went to that camp.

Yeah, you'd think they'd go through his stuff right after council. In the past others have worn clothing but, I don't you can't take the HII from another.

Nah, they pulled new buffs, purple (Solana) and orange (Aparri).

True, Solana (beauty) and Aparri (brawn) are the two tribes now, Luzon (brains) no more. Oddly, 5 brawn went to 2 beauty, and 3 beauty and 3 brain to 1 brawn.

Anyone notice on NWOS

The color of the new buffs corresponded to the mats brawn and beauty were standing on. That's why the whole brawn team moved over to the beauty mat, instead of just having lj and Jefra come to them.

Not sure how they chose brains as the camp to abandon, but it was probably because it was a **** show.

He said he buried it.

because of no rice?
