Rob is maybe the best realty show contestant from any show ever. The guy is so elite.

Love the tokens. Love the twists. Love the players. Fixing to be the GOAT season.

Danni's gameplay was pretty atrocious. Revealing the old school alliance in front of Ben was beyond awful. Rob definitely drew the short end of the stick in his having intelligent alliance members again, reminiscent of his alliance from Heroes vs. Villains.

Just like when Tyson blew it though, the issue was an insecure alliance member made a dumb move - they should never have put Danni in that position and instead made her feel more a part of things.

Just had an odd thought. Amber is 41. Back on Survivor 2, Tina Wesson was 39. So weird, I always remember Tina being an older lady.

Oh yeah Tina was older than dirt. Can't believe they gave that old lady the win over Colby. Made no sense.

Brilliant move by Rob. I wonder if he figured out that Adam was trying to cover for someone.

Is there any idea what the people on edge of extinction can use their tokens for? Do we think whoever has the most will be allowed back in? I think that would be too big of an advantage for the people who have been there the longest. Maybe the competition to get back in the game will be something like throw a dart at a target and closest to the center wins but each token buys an extra throw?

Thought we saw a price menu on extinction when the first person arrived.

This observation could be so far out there but I just had to share my thoughts with you guys.

The bamboo scene (both Yul's and Tony's) really stood out to me

Yul built a tool out of bamboo and twine to safely (and successfully) extract fruit from a tree. This mirrors his winning game play. He was logical, and was able to make smart moves using the supplies he had (a strong alliance and the God immunity idol). He was at the bottom of the numbers, but he used his smarts to win in the end.

Tony built an unstable ladder out of bamboo and thin twine. It barely held up under the pressure. He still managed to climb up and get fruit. Tony's winning game was chaotic. 'Big moves' that would normally have everyone targeting him. He still out played everyone and made it to the end.

Let me know what you guys think. It's little character scenes like this that make Survivor amazing.

Ah thanks. I guess I missed the strategic part of the menu.

I'm glad Parv and Rob made it out of this mess.

Ethan's face when Danni spilled the beans said it all. And then she has zero awareness that Parvati's name is the last person to pitch to Rob.

Even in season 40 Rob comes up with new innovations to the game. The dump and frisk possessions at tribal is a move I haven't considered in years.

Denise and Adam are on a good trajectory. They can pretty much flip on Rob/Parv/Evan whenever they chose to. Also probably a good idea to delay the move while Danni and Ben are creating so much chaos.

Danni just seemed manic and like someone you cant talk to or work with. At least Parvati or Rob can be reasoned with in the future. Easy vote.

People are saying Adam did well. I didnt like him at the tribal idol search but he’s doing fine. Clearly shown as the voice of reason a few times in his group

I think Jeremy is in the best position. Michele firmly in his pocket. He is “new school”, he has shown he will vote with the group twice. And he also has his poker friends to fall back on. Tyson is the fulcrom of that group, but im positive Kim and Jeremy are close. Rob is the one from that group that he was least close to (and it shows when rob blindsided him), but Tyson can bring them together in a future grouping

I didn’t know Jeremy was part of the poker crew even if it’s only a slight pregame connection with Rob. I’m assuming Adam isn’t even though he plays poker? If so it makes me dislike the week 1 Natalie vote even more for old school. I feel like old school could’ve been tighter with Jeremy/Natalie than Adam/Denise and basically steamrolled until the swap plus had a stronger tribe in challenges. I feel like there must be something we’re not privy to based on editing for Rob and Parvati to have voted Natalie off. I really don’t like Rob/Parvati’s chances in the next few weeks with how things are shaping up but I hope I’m wrong.

So, it's like a Survivor economy?

I'm intrigued by the potential strategy aspect. Like okay I can purchase an immunity idol - can I then send that to someone else if I lose the EOE challenge? Or possibly let people know I have it immediately if I get back in the game. Can I have more than one if I get six fire tokens and maybe share as an incentive to ally with someone late in the game?

As if anyone will use those for food.

Agree, not likely. They don't seem to starve them like they used to.

Disastrous episode for Rob. Danni had to be a likely FTC companion in his ideal game, and now he's stuck jettisoning her from his core alliance without any real confidence that he has any solid numbers beyond the old schoolers (Jeremy, maybe?). Don't understand why he would just go along with a Danni boot without even trying to defend her. Feels like there's a completely different game being played on that beach that they just aren't showing us.
