Nicole was a wasted pick by production. She was never going to be able to compete physically. . I don’t know what the ground rules are, but there’s no way I’m letting Rizo copy my puzzle the way he did.

Well, at least the right person went home.

It usually takes me a few episodes for my rooting interests to emerge, but it may take more than that this season.  At least they didn't vote off any eye candy first, not there's much from which to choose.

Agree.  She is so badly out of shape she never even had a legit shot and same can be said for another player.  I don’t get why the show selects people that are so heavy they aren’t capable of physically competing.  Just makes for bad TV.

I don’t know why he just didn’t remove the puzzle pieces since he didn’t need anymore.p

I’ve been telling y’all, if you have to scratch your survivor itch, try to find Australia Survivor. They’re out there for like 7 weeks, tough challenges, good contestants.

I concur. It is not watered down on the contestants or challenges.  Long live King George!

Did they throw that challenge last night?  That was a pretty pathetic performance on the puzzle....

I would love to believe that they did, but I don't think so.  I don't think there are any puzzle savants on their team, plus the brain doesn't work very well when it lacks fuel.

They really have screwed up the structure of the game with how they punish losing tribes early on.  A tribe loses an early challenge, doesn’t get flint or tools, and then keeps losing because they are starving.  It happens almost every single season and makes all this shit quite predictable.

Yeah.  I get wanting to increase the difficulty, but there has to be a better way than totally handicapping a tribe.  They will shake up the tribes when it gets to 15.

Do you remember is season 1 the castaways actually got canned goods?  There are significant differences between then and now.

My wife believes they did in fact throw the challenge to vote her out.   I can see why.  I'm still getting any vibes on who I want to win yet.

Spoiler

The preview for next week implies that Jake is bit by a banded sea krait. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow-lipped_sea_krait  Poisonous snake.

There is enough ambiguity in the preview that it may not be 100% accurate. The snake isn't mentioned by name and they only show one near them in the surf. That could have been filmed at a different time.

Jake also uses the phrase that the snake latched onto him. He didn't say the word bit in the preview. If a snake wrapped around your leg or arm, would that count as latched? If a snake bit me, I can't imagine describing it anything but bit. I also know enough that some sea snakes are incredibly poisonous and anti-venom might be somewhat rare. I would be freaked out.

Related topic, I read my great-great-grandfathers memoir from the 30s where he describes growing up in San Antonio around 1870. He writes about a sad event where his young cousin was killed by a rattlesnake. Untreated, snake bites are dangerous.

No way they were throwing that.  Why would they?

to get the idol.  everybody on the tribe knew it would be active only after their next tribal, except the girl that got voted out.

I don't think they threw the comp. They're dying to get the flint so they can cook a crab or something. They're probably wasting more energy to open up a coconut then the calories they get from it.

the old style was that a season was filmed over 39 days. Now they film in 26 days. Both normally with 18 survivors. Survivor may have had no choice in the past but to give away food due to malnutrition and zero energy.

I'm guessing that most episodes in today's show cover 1 day, meaning there is a tribal council most nights.
