Survivor Season 35: Heroes Vs. Healers Vs. Hustlers

I think we were all surprised when the "advantage" turned into a disadvantage. It created a mental inconsistency between what we saw and what we expected at TC. That switch of "advantage" wasn't what we expected, so it seemed wrong somehow. I agree that changing the expectations of the audience isn't good for the show.

 

Yeah, that thought -- something hidden clue in one bag of chips -- immediately entered my mind too.

They've done stuff like this before. Or hid a clue in plain sight on a banquet table, for example.

 

I thought of that during one of the competitions. It would have been hidden on one of the big parts.

 

I immediately told my wife that there was a clue/advantage in one of those bags. If I was a player, I'd start considering every opportunity for the show to plant a clue or advantage.

 

roark instead of chrissie, bad move, roark is much younger and definitely a much better player overall.

13 left, merge to 2 tribes very soon, 4, 4 and 5 isn't going to cut it for the show's drama. i could even see a merge to one tribe from 3 after next week, as they will be down to 12 = 3 finalists, 9 jurors.

 

Roark had serial killer eyes to me. Was is just this last episode or did she seem a little scary in her interactions with others, especially at TC? That alone was good reason to vote her off for me. Ol' crazy eyes is gone!

 

ha! she did look a little crazy

 

I mean, I can't argue that Roark is younger, but Chrissy seems much more savvy to me. Neither one played this round perfectly, but Roark seemed to feel content making the one connection with Ali and expected that to vicariously get Ryan on her side.

 

I'm ready for the merge. I'm not a fan of 3 team Survivor. I don't care for Joe, but at least he has a clue about finding hidden immunity idols. Most people seem offended that anyone would even look for one. That always baffled me. I thought the immunity challenge was pretty cool.

 

well, they had a chance to get chrissie out long ago and chose not to....watch out now, i think that lady will go a long way. i look for her to build a very strong women's alliance this season.

the merge was due, and i agree that the 3 team format is not good, just not enough players on the teams.

i look for PJ, cole, ben, joe and devin to go very quickly, probably as the weeks progress and they do not win immunity.

ryan and the sex doctor will last as they are non-threatening.

lots of women left at the end for sure.

 

yes, that immunity challenge was pretty cool. i hate to see Aly go. i liked her.

 

Me, too. Probably one of the genuinely nice players to play the game. Of course, that's based on "editor's choice" footage.

 

She was very pretty too!

 

Last night's episode was fairly entertaining. That was a great plan by Chrissy to switch votes to Jessica if Joe showed the idol. I thought the immunity challenge was pretty cool too.

 

jessica was stupid vote.....chrissy thinks she is smarter that she is. jessica was harmless, not a threat at all in challenges and easily led somewhere down the road when you needed her.

the right move was splitting the votes between joe and cole....now they are both still there and, as the previews showed, an ongoing problem to everyone.

they can't get rid of joe and cole and chrissy fast enough, unless they really don't care about winning.

and for the record, cole is a pig....he just ate a huge meal and the fool is eating raw cinnamon sticks....something seriously wrong with him, diet wise.

 

I agree that Jessica was a ho-hum vote off. Why not Cole who was being considered anyway. The night before the merge he was all but out for medical reasons. That may be an issue in upcoming weeks unless CBS gets catered (insert favorite food chain) meals again. That was lame.

 

This is a rough season to watch. There's really not much for likeable people on here. However, I must say Chrissy looked pretty hot in that bikini.

 

Chrissy 1, Joe 0. I hope this trend continues.

I think Chrissy's move was to vote off someone, anyone from the other group but not the first or second choice. Jessica made sense.

By the way, at one point the camera fixated briefly on what looked to be a hidden-in-fairly-plain-sight immunity idol package wrapped up under a bundle of sticks at camp, but sticking out a bit. It even got a bit of a spotlight for a couple of seconds. Did anyone else notice that?

 

I think those were a bundle of nails. Not sure how you could be taking nails from it & not see a piece of paper but Cole seems a bit dense when it comes to playing this game anyway.

 

The last of the "EYE Candy" is gone....Nothing to look at now...bummer!

 

This is where missing dialogue was edited out. It looked like either Joe or Chrissy, but Jessica goes out of the blue. (Sounds I'm not the only person who enjoyed her in that last immunity challenge )

It looked like a note folded tightly to be part of the nails with it. They highlighted and stop-motioned it for a second. It'll be back.

 

Probably next week in fact. If it is a clue to where the idol is, the preview showed people fighting over what is buried right under the camp flag. You would only know to dig there from a clue telling that spot.

 

It was clearly an advantage, as there's no way they'd allow an immunity to be presented that out in the open.

 

I think Jessica was good choice. She was going to vote wherever Cole and Joe told her to vote. Cole and Joe just got weaker. It gives everyone information about how Joe is playing and that can now be used to solidify everyone against him.

 

Watching tribal council right now.

Once again I think that if I were sitting there and Probst asked me a question about anything at all, I would take the fifth. Most of his questions are to get people to spill the beans, and I would not care to do it.

Either that or answer in total boilerplate.
