Survivor Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty - Feb 26

[Jacks]

Great tribal. I cheered when Tony told them he had an idol then thought Nooooo when he actually showed it like an idiot. Then when he gave it away I thought he was going for sure. Then the second idol came out and I was was cheering again. Then the votes came down to the 2 idiots who think they are running the place. All of these people deserve to be voted off but it has been a great season. As long as one of the 'brains' doesn't win I'll be happy, they are the dumbest of the lot when it comes to playing Survivor.

Side note: As soon as they edit someone saying that they have all the power and are the swing vote you know they are getting voted off 9.9 times out of 10.

Finally caught up... man I got hit fast

By the middle of the episode I knew Sarah was going home. She tried way to hard to play both sides and unlike Tony seemed truly uncomfortable in doing what was needed to get further in the game. She seems to have more moral fibre than Tony lol. Tony's like sure I'll swear on my badge like that means anything to me in terms of this game where as she did not want to do the same since she would obviously mean it. Either way if she was not so wishy washy she would still be in the game today.

Kass... oh Kass.. I can't recall someone being so butt hurt at not being the centre of attention. In fact that's probably what you want in this game. Yet she got so upset over not being the ring leader in her alliance boo hoo. Instead of being one of the leaders in her alliance with superior numbers now she is bottom of the totem pole on the other side and she has royally pissed off what looks like will be the majority of the jury. I can see them bringing her to the final 3 knowing that she most likely won't get any votes. Russell found out the hard way... it's not enough to just make the final 3 no matter how well you may have played.

[formulate]

The scene with Trish talking Kass into flipping was brilliant. Flipping to shots of Sarah talking with Kass' alliance, with Trish playing the perfect 'devil on the shoulder'. That was certainly the turning point in the episode, and likely a big part of how the season will finish. I'm really impressed with how that scene was put together, and actually Trish's game.

She never struck me (or any of the other players, it seems) as a good strategic player, but she did very well in identifying the rift and what caused it, choosing the right person to go after (unlike Tony), and making it happen by planting a seed (rather than Tony's brute persuasion method). Well done.

One of the most entertaining tribals in recent memory! Jefra's facial expressions when both idols were played, and then seeing her name on the paper were priceless. It's been a great season so far.

Interesting perspectives.

I think some of the most infuriating parts of Survivor are the moments of hesitation towards making a big move, and I think that is the strength of Kass and the Smart Tribe Guy.

I think what happened was two pronged. Good point about Trish identifying the rift and making the right overture to Kass, but, like we see often in Survivor, the other person has to be receptive and open to thinking things through and doing what's best for them at the moment. Kass saw the opportunity to make a bold move and took it. I think it's going to pay off for her big time, and I wouldn't be surprised to see her go a lot further and switch alliances in a major way one final time. Constantly re-evaluating your position is how you avoid being blindsided.

I think Kass could be final 3 if she can keep her eye rolls under control.

[rohara66]

Holy crap Morgan should just keep her mouth shut. Lol

[WhiteTiger]

Well...I'd be lying if I said that I honestly thought that Morgan would make it this far in the first place. But wow...that was a pretty damning Tribal 'speech' of hers.

It was pretty funny seeing Woo take off with the clue, too.

[Acey]

My favourite stills from this one. Tasha genuinely happy for Spencer winning as she knows how much of a fan he is...



And Sarah's reaction to Trish laying into Morgan at Tribal.

[GreenLantern]

Another entertaining tribal.. and I have discovered a new hell, being stuck in a room with Morgan and not being able to have sex with her but instead a conversation.

Didn't make sense for Kass to flip back at that point, her time will come. It looks like next week that alliance is already fracturing.

That was probably the most boring episode of the season so far, and that really speaks to how great of a season has been.

[Cheese]

D to the Iddy is out thanks to Morgans Organs...and not her brains.

[red sky]

I am personally not enjoying this season as much as others. I am not sure why but aside from the epic tribal last week I haven't really thought it was anything special. Sounds like I am in the minoirty with regards to this though.

I feel this season is bad because the players arnt likeable people. Tony seems like a total pile of and after last night even people like woo seem like garbage. Im rooting for 1 of Spencer or Tasha to win it and anyone else winning seems like a slap in the face.

[WhiteTiger]

I do have to say, after the reward challenge yesterday...I am continually surprised by the "brain" tribes members inability to solve puzzles.

[Barbecue]

Man... I would love to punch the smug off of Kass' face...

but that'll never happen since she is her own lawyer and can sue the pants off me

they were up against another brains guy, Spencer, who's a better puzzle person than hormones in the purple team

[$ven27]

Two most disliked people gone in the last two episodes, love it. Cass is so cocky, that'll quickly catch up to her. I also don't see the love for Morgan, besides massive melons she really wasn't that attractive.

[Skaloper]

Looking forward to see what Spencer can do to stay in the game.

I don't just mean the last reward challenge, I mean any puzzle the brain team has been faced with, ever. They just seem to suck hard at puzzles, which you think the opposite would be true.

[killer_carlson]

I was a fan of Morgan - for the tolken hot girl she didn't back away from it or pretend she was something else.

Kass is getting annoying already. Hope she goes soon

[SilverGS]

While I applaud Kass's "big" move mentality somewhat I feel she is on her way to be the next Russell in terms of potentially making it to the end but being so hated no one will vote for her.

When she said "I was counting on them forgetting and forgiving my flip" I was thinking sure of course they will during the game. They want to get to the end but need your help to try and get that done of course they will play nice for now but when it comes down to the end vote for a million dollars I doubt they give it to you.

She seems like a logical person to take to the end since she has already pissed off half the jury. Focusing too much on strategy and seemingly ignoring the social aspect she does not seem to be close to anyone, is alienated from her original "tight alliance" which will probably consist of the majority of the jury, and is really just being used by her "new" alliance which she doesn't even admit to being in.

[GreenLantern]

I agreed with Morgan that Kass was just a bitter old(er) bitch.

It will be a glorious day when Kass gets voted off, but her questions at tribal are going to be brutal. I would almost rather she made the final three just to see her get torn open and either pander to them for votes or act like herself and get 0 votes.

Both would be entertaining. I also really enjoy watching Spencer over react, haha, poor guy. Wears his heart on his sleeve that is for sure.
