Vesi After voting out Nneka, Cody feels conflicted. He had such a strong relationship with her, but felt they had to make that move to strengthen the tribe for challenges. Baka Gabler is still having trouble to fit in socially. He gives Sami and Elie palm frond blankets, completely unannounced. On its own, sure, it’s […]

Vesi We open with Cody rehashing how he got the beads from the rest of the tribe just in time before Tribal Council. With this now back to the normal 60 minute time slot, this seems like something that could have been included last week, with the extended 90 minute block. But getting to the […]

Baka The island gets hit with a huge storm overnight. Surprisingly, we didn’t get any comments about this being “the hardest season ever.” It’s a welcome change from the previous two seasons. Of course they talk about how hard it is, but thankfully seem to realize the context and don’t oversell it. That being said, […]

Once again, Survivor is back! Which means once again, it’s one of my favorite days of the year. And while I’m still very excited for Survivor 43, I’m maybe more curious than excited this time around. With Survivor 41 and 42 completed, we now have our first season of the “new era” where the players […]

Kula Kula The final five arrive at their new beach, in what is still a completely pointless twist. There’s three days left. What’s the point. A huge part of this “new era” of Survivor is how hard the game is supposed to be. Who cares if the last few days are a little tougher? Lindsay […]

Kula Kula Lindsay is riding high after the big Tribal Council. On top of surviving the Do or Die, her amulet now becomes a full idol. That has to be used at the Final 6, so she’s through to the Final 5 at least. Likewise, Omar is feeling great too. He gives the idol back […]

Kula Kula After the Hai vote, Lindsay and Drea talk briefly at camp about their amulets. With Hai gone, their amulets now make a Steal-a-Vote. Drea, Omar, Mike, Lindsay, and Jonathan form a tentative Final 5 agreement. Drea says she wants to play with people who play the game like her, even if that means […]

Camp After being left out of the last vote, Romeo has to play nice with the rest of the tribe. He also has damage control to with Hai, with Romeo’s sole vote for Hai causing some friction. Romeo denies this to Hai, but Hai is able to figure it out. But it maybe isn’t all […]

Camp Chanelle bemoans the fact that she was on the wrong side of the first merge vote. She talks to Hai to hopefully firm up their relationship. Hai tries to calm her fears by telling her it was the last minute scrambling, that he didn’t leave her out on purpose. To her credit, Chanelle recognizes […]

Vati Mike comes back to camp upset with Chanelle for the safety vote she threw his way. He tries to claim he’s passed it, but he tells us in a confessional that it’s all for show. He’ll sticky with Hai and Lydia, but his relationship in the game with Chanelle is done. Ika Over at […]
