47 > 46 > 45 >>>> 48 right now > 42 > 43 >>> 41 >>>> 44

Peacekeeper has the vision because I never cared about star before the merge but honestly she's kinda fun, likely no chance she wins but I like her.

I am happy that Star has so many new fans.

Fhuk that white b^itch eva

I listened to the most recent podcast. I haven't listened to it since the first season it came out.  

Rachel said she misses seeing the sumo duels in the ocean and Jeff said at one point people were getting too aggressive and animalistic and he felt like somebody was going to get hurt. He says the show could've been completely different if competitions were based on physicality like The Challenge but that's not the vibe they're going for. (Him even saying the word the challenge made me SHAKE. I wonder what episodes he's watched.)

Rachel also mentioned missing endurance challenges like the finale from Survivor Borneo or Ian versus Tom. Jeff said those endurance challenges were basic and lasted too long as they're not entertaining. At most endurance challenges should last 4 hours max but preferably 1-2 so they've switched up the style of endurance competitions from older seasons to not last long. And he basically implied that the endurance competitions will be the same every season for consistency on the fact that anybody can win at any time without having a physical advantage over others. Whatever that's supposed to mean. So yeah don't expect somethin new somethin different for 50. We should've known when 40 had zero throw backs. 

And Jeff is kind of embracing being hated by the fans from what I can tell. He described himself as not being liked by lots of viewers and said he doesn't care what fans vote on 50 about x,y,z topics/twists they want back lol. Implying that after 50, it's gonna go right back to the same show. But it's not like our voting options have been crazy in the first place  

So basically when Jeff dies is when the show might go back to its roots? (not wishing death on him just asking a genuine question)

I know people joke about him worshiping Rob, but this video is proof that he doesn't wanna suck and **** Rob. The excitement every time he says, his name. He even couldn't remember who won Survivor all stars until it clicked in his mind and he got excited "who won allstars? ......... oh Amber! Of course she got married from Rob" Also the way he quickly answered Earl Cole but forgot all the winners around that era is telling me he's on 50

The split tribal right after merge is possibly the dumbest thing ever but it could at least be fair instead of random then it should be the first half out go to tribal first, no food, no shot at jury. That should not come down to one person winning.

All that side talking about the show during that boring Challenge was so cringe. Ugh. I hate what this show has become so much.

Joe won immunity because he is the strongest. Can we stop making everything a dramatic moment like who he did it for and how his kids inspired him. Jeff, your talk show failed miserably for a reason. Just stop. You aren't Oprah.

David Joe and eva are ruining everything.  

Season 47 gotta be smiling right about now.

This is bound to be worse than 43 at this point

Yep officially the worst season in the new era and it's just going to get worse from here 

Told yall. I know a good and bad cast when I see one! Put me in casting to save reality tv!

It's not even most of the cast that's what sucks, just three people that's ruining it

Nope. Cast sucks minus Mary, Kyle, Kamilla, Sai, & Krissy.

This was the time to make a move. Kyle, Kamilla, Mitch, and Chrissy, y'all suck. Star's not even playing.

Like the move to push for Kyle and Kamila should've been to pretend to split the vote between Chrissy and Kamilla, and then WHAMMO, David goes home in a 4-3-2 vote.

What's crazy to me is mary is at the bottom of her alliance BUT still almost drove the vote the way she wanted it to go. That's some queen shit, sadly I see Joe and eva cutting her for that.

OMG! Not them giving assigned seats just to rig Ava finding an idol. They thought she was going to be a legend but she is awful. 

They gave the advantage to the winner of the challenge. I don't think they do that if Mary wins though...

Personally I don't see the four of Mary David Joe and eva splitting what they think is an easy Chrissy vote. If they wanted David gone they'd need to recruit shauhin who they already don't trust, have already voted out his ally premerge and who doesn't know he's on the bottom of Mary and the meatheads. If they tried that, we'd probably get a Kamilla boot instead of Chrissy.

eva is a DEMON

Kyle botched it from the second David got back and pitched his closest ally, Kamilla. He should've taken a beat and been like, "You're right, but I think Kamilla has an idol, we have six or seven (Star and Mitch seem to be working with them) of the votes, let's do 4 votes Kamilla, 3 votes Chrissy, in case of an idol." Then he gets Mitch/Chrissy/Kamilla and him put 4 votes on David and he goes home, most likely in 4-3-2 (if the votes don't split right it's 4-4-1 and that would be a disaster lol).

If he pitches that right, Joe would've backed it. I don't know what Kyle's waiting for, Mary's not working with him and he distrusts Shauhin. Using Chrissy and Mitch was the time to pull off an Operation Italy type move. He's running out of runway. His only hope at a winning game at this point is David completely loses his mind and gets booted for being a controlling psycho.

I agree he's running out of time but if he went hey, Kamilla might have an idol then they'd say okay 6 votes on chrissy lol. I just don't see them bothering to split votes. Now if he pitched Joe getting rid of Mary with some "she's got David wrapped around her finger, look how we are expected to do what she wants" or "she's sneaky, shes not even a member of the alliance" then that's all better move imo. 

Not enough outrage about production giving Ava the hidden idol.

We don't know it's an idol yet, I'm hoping it's something lamer like a block a vote

If it's an idol, production for sure wants a Joe/Eva double idol play. 

not OS purposefully calling her ava
