That immunity challenge was brutal. Holy shit.

Was it ever. The losing team in particular was absolutely wiped out. I'm surprised they all finished the gathering section so close to each other. I'm also a little sus that Joe could see, because he was running around like crazy without instructions.

Wow, Spencer took a beating in that challenge. Brutal indeed.

I understand why they voted out Varner, but I fucking hate Abi and wish she were gone.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1262 on:** October 21, 2015, 07:11:02 PM »

BLINDSIDE! Holy shit, Monica looked like she'd been slapped in the face with a dead fish. Compete shock. Wow.

Also cool that Keith and Woo ended up winning both challenges for their teams.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1263 on:** October 22, 2015, 08:23:44 AM »

Yep. Loved the blindside. Makin' moves, makin' moves.

Although I am not fond of Ficshbach and wouldn't have minded seeing him go. Especially after scoring for another team!

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1264 on:** October 22, 2015, 08:30:08 AM »

I thought that would work against him at TC in some way, but no. As much as I want to see Abi go, I was glad to see Woo pull out wins for his team both times, maybe solidifying to his team why they need to keep him.

You'd think so, but they don't care at all about performance in challenges any more, unless they're too good.

Didn't care one way or another about this week's tribal result.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1266 on:** October 22, 2015, 08:36:11 AM »

Me either. Monica had been mostly absent from pretty much other episode. She shows up this episode to argue about getting too much clam from the ocean. If you don't get it now, there's no guarantee it will be there tomorrow. Her entire argument seemed very odd to me.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1267 on:** October 28, 2015, 10:20:03 PM »

I like both Woo and Spencer, but I''m glad they kept Spencer, because Woo has never been a good strategic player by any stretch.
It's sad that Terry had to leave under those circumstances, but that's a no brainer decision.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1268 on:** October 29, 2015, 06:21:41 AM »

Yeah, and I'm glad they included the tag at the end with the update and the explanation of what happened.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1269 on:** October 29, 2015, 06:54:00 AM »

I didn't see that. What did it say?

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1270 on:** October 29, 2015, 06:58:09 AM »

He and his son appeared on a short update segment during the credits where Terry explained that his son had to have a heart transplant due to an enlarged heart and that everything's okay now and that when he went back on Survivor, this was his second chance, but now it's his son who's really the second chance survivor.

Damn, that's even more serious than I thought. No game is going to take priority over that.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1272 on:** October 29, 2015, 07:07:45 AM »

We always record Survivor and start watching it about 20-30 minutes in, so we can FF through commercials. Last night we were caught up by the time the "local cuisine" immunity challenge came around, so we were watching as it aired by then. So gross yet so fun to watch. Mrs. C. was thoroughly grossed out and was a little irritated that we'd caught up and couldn't FF through the challenge.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1273 on:** October 29, 2015, 07:09:56 AM »

Every time they show the next "food", I'm just like NOPE.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1274 on:** October 29, 2015, 07:11:37 AM »

Yeah, I suppose when you're IN the moment, it's do or die. If you don't do it, you're likely to be the one voted out if your tribe loses. Had the winning tribe actually lost, I'd have damn sure hoped they'd have voted Kimmie out. Though I understood her objections and why she refused, but still.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1275 on:** October 29, 2015, 07:13:52 AM »

I would have had the exact same reaction as her, but you don't go on Survivor unless you're prepared for that shit.
Although they don't seem to care too much about failing in challenges these days.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1276 on:** October 29, 2015, 07:20:25 AM »

Yeah, you do not go on Survivor unless you are a VERY good swimmer, have an iron stomach and no gag reflex, and (ideally) know how to build a fire without modern tools. Therefore, I will never ever go on Survivor.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1277 on:** October 29, 2015, 07:26:47 AM »

I can't even run, let alone swim.

And being outdoors for that long would likely kill me.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1278 on:** October 29, 2015, 07:33:20 AM »

I'm getting better at the running part, but I'm lucky if I can get from one end of my pool to the other without freaking. I haven't learned the part where you tilt your head to the side out of the water to take a breath and keep going. I have meagerly managed to learn to doggy paddle just this summer. And even that is a little shaky. I panic instantaneously at even the slightest loss of even the tiniest bit of control when I'm in the water. Mrs. C. isn't able to "get it", because she swims like a fish and has always been able to float and swim with complete and total ease. She doesn't even have to TRY to float, she just does. I guess built-in flotation devices will do that to a person, but still.

I'm three weeks behind on the show....just been nutz in the gmillerdrake household and time for shows is limited. Hope to catch up soon....looks like it's still a neat season but I'm bummed to see Terry had to leave due to those circumstances.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1280 on:** October 29, 2015, 09:42:24 AM »

It was the very first thing that happened on last night's episode. Middle of the night. Interesting way to open the show.

dude can't catch a break in survivor. Utterly Dominate's his entire season only to lose his chance at the top two on a challenge CLEARLY designed for a 100 lb woman ***cough cough Parviti cough cough***, gets voted out because everyone and their mother knew he was the BEST player and would win.....and now this.

Just not meant to be Terry......

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1282 on:** October 29, 2015, 09:54:09 AM »

I thought his attitude towards it was amazing. As a parent, it would undoubtedly resonate more with you and hef than with me, though I would do the same for my step son. Second chance at a bazillion dollars be damned, God himself could've come down in a fanfare of angels and unicorns and rainbows and said "Terry, don't go man!" and it wouldn't have kept Terry there. Then at the end, saying that his son is the real second chance survivor. Powerful stuff.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1283 on:** October 29, 2015, 10:04:35 AM »

It was a fun episode. I always enjoy the eating contest lol

Sucks about Dietz, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

I was OK with Woo going. I like him, but he doesn't seem to actually play the game.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1284 on:** November 04, 2015, 06:51:13 PM »

Wow, the new individual immunity necklace is awesome!

Joe looked like an Aztec King walking in to the Tribal Council

Flowing hair and all....

I think he best watch out because the first chance they get they 'should' vote him out. Wasn't surprised they voted Kass out.....was surprised that Sierra voted for Savage though. That was odd if they were trying to get Tasha out.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1286 on:** November 04, 2015, 09:43:33 PM »

I think that may have been some sort of F you vote.

Oh for sure. It was just dumb on her part. Let's say Spencer did decide to vote Tasha with them? Then it doesn't work cuz she cast an 'FU' vote for Savage I'm thinking that we didn't see a lot of what went down and it was really a no brainier that Kass was going home amongst them all. It was just desperately edited to give some sense of uncertainty.

All of that.

Much fancier than the usual carved wood look.

I was hoping either Ciera or Tasha would go, because I don't mind Kass.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1289 on:** November 05, 2015, 07:42:02 AM »

I don't mind Kass either, but I'm also OK with her going.

And Ciera was pretty right with everything she said at tribal. Too many players play "not to lose" instead of "play to win".

Of course, it's a balancing act.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #1290 on:** November 05, 2015, 09:03:27 AM »

I know it's way too early to get a clear idea of who is going to make it to the end....but I really think Keith has a good shot at being there. He's good at challenges...but not good enough to where he's going to dominate and be a 'marked' man (like Joe)....he doesn't run around scheming the whole time but yet he's always involved in sending home someone. He's just under the radar enough not to be considered a threat but he really is a threat.

I think that group of people are going to be so consumed with scheming and going after the 'threats' that the next thing you know he will be in the final four or five with a tight ally.....

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1291 on:** November 05, 2015, 11:34:03 AM »

Could be.

Well.....in a way it does. But in another way it's so cool to see the idol used effectively. It worked PERFECT for her, like it was designed to do. I don't see how Joe survives unless he finds an idol or just continues to win immunity.

Yeah. I don't really like Wentworth, but I love seeing the idol used effectively. With one of the most unanimous votes ever, she'd have felt stupid not using it. That ended up being a big deal for her and the game.
