Finished the D&C podcast with Dawson and had the following thoughts:

- Clearly Dom's finest work yet

- Great job by a delusional narcissist of identifying Phillip as a delusional narcissist.

- The sexism analysis was overdone IMO. Yeah, there's a kernel of truth there, but to stretch it to the point where you make the case (I think) that Dawn is getting a "bad" edit is kinda absurd. She has gotten tons and tons of very positive camera time in both her seasons. Would you feel better if they had tried to give her the Jerry/villain edit? Also, yea it's true that Survivor casts people to fill roles, but they do the same thing with males and females IMO.

It's all crazy Tribal Council reaction shots and you can tell who's not wearing the immunity necklace from the closeups

Promo pics like that are something that would belong in spoilers, whereas a promo pic of dawn crying or phil and cochran arm wrestling should be able to be discussed openly

Tonight's Tribal Council is supposed to be HvsV-esque

Cochran is calling it the craziest tribal council he's ever seen (and he's apparently seen all of them)

This season needs a swift kick in the ass to get it out of the mud

Don't know if you're being sarcastic or not but if people did the math/logic steps, it is the most reasonable conclusion to come to.

People have been reading the past two episodes so poorly, I can't wait to read all the posts after tonight's super-hyped episode.

I can't wait for tonight's episode, it sounds sick.

I have watched that promo though in super slo-mo several more times and still have no idea who wins immunity tonight, so I must be missing something obvious. I guess there is one person they seemed to not show at all, so maybe that's who wins.

The editors are just really sloppy sometimes

I remember in a late merge promo from One World, you could blatantly see Troyzan wearing the immunity necklace as the group journeyed to Tribal Council, torches in hand

This promo was just as sloppy by showing several Survivors with their mouths agape at Tribal Council

You could clearly tell that the Survivors shown didn't have this bulky immunity necklace around their necks

So what do you think happens tonight. Someone flips or they vote Malcolm and pulls idol out?

Ok vyk07 that makes sense, but I am still really curious as to how this tribal is going to be dramatic. Let me post my predictions based on what I gleaned from the promo...

Spoiler:
Ok so let's just say that Reynold wins immunity since he wasnt shown. Also, it appears Malcolm just has the HII hanging from his neck?? But how would that make things dramatic still? Once Reynold wins II, the Favs will simply plan to split votes 4-3 between Malcolm and Eddie. Even if Malcolm pulls out his HII at TC, that shouldn't make them change their plans. 4 of them should still cast their votes for Malcolm, and 3 should for Eddie. If Malcolm plays his idol then it's 3-3 and Eddie still goes home on a revote. So I'm really curious what occurs to make this tribal turn into something epic

supposedly, something happens at TC that has never been done before. They better deliver on this.

BTW, CBS on YT is showing the first 90 sec of tonite's show

The hype train is in full swing. Lets hope tonight actually delivers


John Cochran ‏@JohnMCochran 40s
As a #Survivor expert, I feel comfortable saying that tonight's episode is going to be one of the most insane in the history of the show.

Pure conjecture based on hype:

Spoiler:
Reynold gets super pissed when Malcolm whips out his idol and attempts to fully out Malcolm 's scheming. The Specialist somehow gets involved and tilts somebody. At the end of the day, we get a pretty vanilla vote-out of Eddie.


Yes - I'm pretty much predicting that it will not live up to the hype, but am hopeful nonetheless.

I feel the new relationship between Andrea and eddie will screw up the voting as Andrea will not want to cut him loose just yet. I feel this way because we have this theme of learning from our mistakes and hers was because

There are actually 2 people not shown in case I missed something, but between those two it's probably 80/20 in who wins. I also missed the other spoiler
Spoiler:
Malcolm wearing his idol at TC


There is some lazy editing going on.

Or CBS just doesn't care about us 5% hardcore fans who watch promos in slowmotion

What I do see is you continuing to issue personal attacks and degrade other people's intelligence on the internet b/c you have some deep rooted mental issues of your own
