if karishma does win it will be the most impressive turnaround i've seen on survivor. its not that i think people hate her but i have seen no sign that anybody in the game respects her at all. she'd have to go to ftc with noura and dan to stand a chance and i dunno if she can actually pull that off

The fact that producers included Rob and Sandra saying "she's smart" during tribal in episode 1 or 2 scares me a little because she hasn't been framed as particularly smart yet.

"We are calling medical"
"No, I just need some water "
"No, we are calling medical"
"I'm fine, the water helped"
"You already feel better from the water you just drank?"
I enjoyed Nora correctly sniffing out that Karishma's line didnt make any sense.

Uh, if you're lightheaded and weak due to mild dehydration, you bounce back to normal pretty quick after drinking some water.

I also think it was more of a "I don't believe you feel better, you just really don't want to see medical" rather than a "I think you're lying and trying to hide something".

Obviously I need to get more sleep. I would probably suck at actually playing Survivor.

Don't know why Cryrishma didn't just further her lie by saying, sure call medical. It's not like she would've been removed from the game.

That would of required her to have a thought out strategy. Instead she skipped back in after an hour with 2 coconuts and went duhhhhh mode.

Almost made it through an entire episode without being lectured to. Oh well, maybe next week.

The show has continuously portrayed her as a bumbling, lazy, emotionally weak idiot. Like they actually go out of their way to show her screwing up in challenges, falling over at camp like a buffoon, yawning, Jeff's remarks about her screwing up, etc.There is zero chance that they would ever portray an eventual winner like this.

I know we all have a little bit of a sick desire to see the most LOLresult to what has been for so many reasons an unsatisfying season, but let's have some perspective here. Noura and Karishma are drawing stone cold dead, even against Dan, who I think would actually do well at a FTC.

If someone sees you as a goat, that's a great person to work with because their loyalty is based on their own self interest, and they are unlikely to ever see you coming when it's time to blindside. Not only would Missy never vote Karishma, she'd actively work to protect her. Whether or not she likes Karishma should be irrelevant to Karishma.

We are down to 9, I can't wait to see what Dean does with Jamal's legacy 'advantage' and if the jury can keep a straight face if he plays it.

I am finding Noura less annoying and actually kind of entertaining.

Missy calling out Jeff for not pointing out that 2 black people won immunity, has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. This season is becoming a woke parody of itself. First Kellee complains that it's sexist to talk about an all-female alliance. Even though the females talk about that, like every season. Then the #metoo episode which was just putrid in every way. Now this.

Probst obviously loves this stuff though, I guess it reminds him of his failed daytime talk show.

Best thing about woke is it so lol. Endless contradictions. Everything is offensive. The wokes should realize that they themselves are offensive to society.

There are good principles, yes. Treat people fairly, treat people equally, but let's not go over the top rope with it.

Exactly when did the brainwashed, programmed, buzzword spouting, collegiate liberal SJWs get the 'woke' label? I can't imagine anyone being more asleep than they are.

Seeing Kelee, Jamal, and Missy get voted out immediately after their PC lectures shows their place in society, if survivor is a microcosm of the human experience.

That is incredibly satisfying to see. On the other hand, the final tribal council is guaranteed to be an AIDS bath of epic proportions.

IMO Jamal at the very least was incredibly eloquent at describing his perspective in those scenarios. It didn't seem condescending or like he was trying to cancel anybody. I agree that the All-womens tribal thing was ridiculous considering Jamal was actually right.

As far as it being satisfyint watching them go..... dunno how. Like we saw Dan multiple times be ridiculed, talked to directly and saw him actually grope people. Not exactly satsisfying watching the woman who put her game at risk in episode 1 and directly told him to stop touching her then he didn't and was brought to tears about it get booted over a guy who cannot keep his hands to hisself.

You are right that it's a reflection of our society and it's not a kind one. The women evaluated the discomfort they felt and weighed it against there scenario and the game and decided to target other people, you can see analogies for it in real life. The fact that Lauren and others felt bad for Dan and didn't want to boot him for that reason is also really sad.

People can complain about the woke status quo but IMO for all of the ridiculousness of some of the extreme sjw stuff people calling out that and getting their pants in a twist over it is a tad ridiculous when the President is literally Donald Trump who is incredibly racist.

This season is depressing honestly and the whole metoo episode was fascinating in how you can see people like Dan get away with much worse behaviour because people are afraid of the consequences of speaking up and also perversely feel more bad for the accused even when they're guilty.

Also IMO the way you say it shows their place in society is a bit disturbing almost like moo buckets almost like people like Jamal and Kellee should be punished for their actions or who they are over people like Dan. Jamal had integrity the whole game IMO, Dan is a complete creep there's plenty of evidence for it and Jamal can hold his head up high with how he handled the situation unlike most of the rest.

What do you regard as "incredibly racist"? Scale from 0 - Hitler?

Can you show me some literal racist things he has said? Not your interpretations of said things, but direct quotes? Its almost impossible to google. Just get a bunch of "I know racists, and Trump is racist". Hardly helpful

In before clovis says "Trumpkin".

For the record, I think Trump is unhinged and not fit to be president, but all I have seen is CNN and all the democratics alike calling him a white supremacist, nothing else.

If you hate this post, blame woke survivor.

I hope survivor takes a huge financial hit from this, because companies like to talk a big woke game, but money ends up deciding what happens.

go woke, go broke
