**PRAYS THIS ISN'T THE END OF COPS R US**
Let's get right into it:
Officer Sarah wasted NO time calling out Tony for his "grimy-ass move"
Naturally, Tony had to continue to do damage control with the other tribe members. We got a beautiful scene with Tony and Ben...and welp, Tony gets shit on by a bird? A bat? Coincidence? Karma? Either way, thank you AGAIN CBS editors:
At this point in the episode, I'm like, "nooooooooo Cops R Us" is over!" ...but then literally the next morning, it's as if nothing happened and Sarah is helping Tony's game "evolve" with the spy nest™ (it's like a bird nest, that he perches himself in a tree, like a bird, waiting to hear conversations). These two are GOALS.
Ben and his Jeremy standoff - it's incredible. I don't reallllly understand why Ben is "so hurt" by Jeremy, but I'm not complaining. He won't even look Jeremy in the face, it's hilarious.
I like the idea of these "tremendous effort" EoE challenges because it gives multiple players the opportunity to earn fire tokens - but dear lord, I feel horrible for them! They all look like they're on the edge of death!
I must have watched this clip (~4:01) of Natalie at least a dozen times and couldn't stop myself from cackling (every single time I rewatched). Her devilish smile as she runs past Sophie to be the first to finish, she is just a BEAST.
Danni has really been a disappointment this season for me - I feel like she's just been mentally checked out? Regardless, I was really rooting for her to pull ahead of Wendell at the end. It is so impressive how frail and malnourished she is, yet STILL was able to stay in the mix. She just needed to push her pace. Bummer.
And Boston Rob. Wow. He really is THE Survivor legend. Cracks his elbow and still finishes??? Screw everyone else this season - I hope he's the Season 40 champ - no one's got that kind of heart and love for this game!
Ben, same. If I found an idol, I, too would try to hide it immediately. And unfortunately you were with Tony and there's no stealth move you could have pulled off. It was awkward, it was uncomfortable, but same.
This immunity challenge was one of the most ridiculous ones I have ever seen. First, it looked impossibly difficult and then second...the amount of people who stepped off for cookies and peanut butter?!?!(low-key if it was peanut butter and ice cream I'd prob step off, too). But for Kim, that was a $2 million plate of peanut butter and cookies!!! So crazy.
I've been digging Nick these past few episodes. He's been staying under-the-radar, sly as ever and was even able to weasel tokens out of Tony(AND got the snacks. What a MOVE). He's been at the center of the action and has been instrumental in carrying out all of these big moves without ever being the main target.
I am OVER these live tribals. It wastes so much time and as a viewer, we're only getting 25% of the strategy and gameplay. It's confusing, I always need to rewind, and I can never keep up with the tribal lines. I'm with Denise.
And Kim - wow, we lost a Survivor LEGEND. It really was exciting to watch her play a completely different game where she just couldn't get her "options."
HOW YOU DOIN?:
Tony! Tony! Tony! He is RAKING in the points for his fantasy league drafters and we're starting to see a divide in the haves and have nots. But it is not quite a runaway, Denise and Michele have been some pretty consistent point earners, too. Kim getting the boot was a big loss for a lot of our frontrunners as well as for Kath and Peter (9 points this week) who now have their entire tribes DK Chillin® on Edge of Extinction.
P.S. Hopefully I get to "see"/"meet" all on trivia night!! Livs and I are PUMPED! P.P.S. Don't forget to tune into our very own Matt and Peter's new Survivor Podcast: Blindsided!
