My wife and I did for sure. My Son is autistic and has triggers like this. As he’s become older he is able to deal with them much more easily but there are times, like what you saw, that it can remerge.

The reaction and worry from Joe was amazing. Absolutely genuine.

Except for tribal, I enjoyed this episode

[surferguy]

That was a bull#### tribal. #### you Cedrik!

I couldn't imagine watching that back as her parent and just being stuck on the couch not able to do anything about it, even knowing its taped even with her beside you. Then when Joe comes over and says "if my daughter was on here I'd want someone to treat her this way" ya that was pretty good stuff. Joe's playing the old school hero game you don't see that a lot anymore. Heroes vs Villains was one of my favourite seasons I'd love to see them bring that back.

That tribal sucked, I really think Cedrick keeping Sai around is going to bite him in the but. They seem to be foreshadowing that pretty hard.

For the majority of her game, flight attendant Charity was able to play on autopilot. She was able to benefit from being on winning tribes, getting to avoid the vote while simultaneously building bonds that will hopefully have her fly through to the end of the game. What Charity didn't realize, however, was how on the outs she was. While she struck up a close bond with Mitch, the rest of Civa was aligned against her, spurred along by Kamilla throwing her under the bus for gaming too hard too fast. And that attitude moved over to her new tribe, where Eva found her untrustworthy and “fake.” When the merge hit, Charity hit the ground running, initially wanting to take out Eva due to her public idol. However, she eventually eased up, hoping that her Civas would get her through to the jury. Unfortunately, that was quite a charitable read. Instead, the rest of the tribe split their votes between outsiders Charity and Sai, choosing to boot the former to splinter the Civa alliance.

Sai gets a huge advantage and dodges yet another round of bullets. It did make sense for them to go after one of the 6, though.

[Cheese]

Sai just cant keep her mouth shut. Mrs Cheese and I cringed as she lay there bragging/talking about all the different foods they ate after the challenge. She isnt long for the game, unless someone drags her to the end for no votes.

[trackercowe]

Great episode tonight. Best challenge in years, and it's great to see some actual challenge beasts on the American version of Survivor. The right two people went home at tribal, and hopefully this season doesn't play out in the typical way where the strong players go out right after the merge.

Sai is finally gone! Cedric deserved to go home after dropping the bucket two seconds into the challenge. Does he not have any upper arm strength?

[Cheese]

Sai Hughley and Cedrek McFadden were voted out of Survivor last night. Sai was voted out unanimously by a vote of 5-0; Cedrek was voted out by a vote of 5-1 and became the first member of the Jury.

Sai’s vote was unanimous because her vote was blocked by fellow tribemate Mitch. She just missed out on a spot on the Jury, due to her group’s performance at the earlier immunity challenge.

Never have I been more happy to take a hit...

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Not sure why Shauhin wasn't voted out. Missed opportunity.

Yeah, they should’ve taken the opportunity to do it on a tribe of 6 rather than a tribe of 10. Especially since they (Kyle and Kamilla) could easily control the vote

[dino7c]

I don't get how they find so many people unwilling to play...like don't millions apply?

[Fuzz]

Sai-"If they are playing they'll vote Shauhin out, if they aren't, it's Cedric.". She nailed that.

[csnarpy]

Wow, when will people learn to just shut up during tribal? There's a time and a place to speak your mind and that's not one of them. It was not even halfway through that tribal when my wife's speaks up and says " well she's done ".

Live and learn? Lol

[Cheese]

Fire lieutenant Chrissy formed her own on-island brigade early on, joining up with David, Kamilla and Kyle. That alliance was doused, however, when all of them got swapped away, finding camaraderie in people like Mitch and Cedrek. With all of Civa intact at the merge, it seemed the sixsome was destined to run it to the end. But David was looking to milk his position for all its worth, creating a new cross-tribal alliance of the "strong." That was an idea that Chrissy was not happy with whatsoever, as she took multiple shots against both the concept of playing "honestly" and the players who were trying to do. And so, for said "honest" players, it came down to getting rid of who was targeting them in Chrissy and Kamilla. Unfortunately for Chrissy, her game went down in flames, (ironically) extinguishing her torch.

Chrissie voted out taking transplant99 off the island with her and Sportsjunky with their first hit.

Thank god that arrogant Ass David is out...maybe we will actually see some survivor now

Are they all just trying to hand Eva the game?

[Cheese]

When the merge of Survivor 48 started, a select group of players had a dream: An alliance of the physically strongest, hoping to reverse a trend of the "new era" in particular and get to the end together in an honest and loyal way. But this week's episode proved that plan was only just that, a dream. While the "strong six" was able to stick together at the last vote, paranoia began to run rampant of cracks in the alliance.
Despite the group voting together, David was not pleased with how much Kyle and Shauhin changed the plan last-minute, and began to clock that they were working with Kamilla outside of their group. But his (correct) paranoia only proved to alienate himself further, as some believed he was causing unnecessary disarray with his scrambling. Ultimately, the man of beefy biceps proved to be too big of a weight for some of his allies to move forward with. And, after an afternoon and evening of uncertainty, his worst fears were confirmed when he was blindsided and sent to the jury.

David voted out giving jroc and Fuzz their first hit.

Big D goes too hard, blindside. A tale as old as Survivor.

[trackercowe]

David also said his girlfriend broke up with him after losing Survivor... Not at all surprised with the way he came off on the show. That and living in trailer outside his Dad's house is a bad look. If your entire future is dependent on winning a reality show you're going to have a bad time!

Also I was looking him up on IMDB to see what stunt work he has done. It appears he has only been in two movies; Love Struck - A Valentine's Day Action Comedy in 2018 and one episode of JustKiddingFilms in 2012. For someone who talks such a big game he doesn't seem to have done much in his life.

Yet I would like to see him on a future season. It was interesting to see all these macho players, a good change of pace from prior seasons.

Also I agree, are they just going to concede Eva the win? It doesn't seem like anyone wants to target her. Same as Mitch, with their stories I would be targeting them now. David and Chrissy had no shot at winning. I like Star quite a bit, she didn't come off well initially, but she has a great attitude and is pretty funny... It'll be interesting to see if she takes her idol back at some point and stabs Eva in the back. That might be the only way to get Eva out.

[dino7c]

One of if not the worst seasons in recent memory IMO...its so boring nobody wants to play the game. Come on Mitch grow a pair.
