Survivor 29: San Juan del Sur - Blood vs Water - Pool and Discussion

And her boobs, they don't like her because of her boobs.

How does that even make sense?

[Cheese]

pretty boobs...hell that's reason to keep her there for final vote.
dumb=dumb and she proved that by getting on a Rocker.

[Parallex]

One good thing about her quit... we get another week of the Jeremy v. Josh storyline.

For the life of me I don't understand Jon's reasoning in deciding to go with Josh... I mean you already have a working relationship with Missy/Baylor and you have three singles in Jeremy/Natalie/Julie (at that point)... that's a majority alliance where you're part of the majority within the majority. That's an easy ride for at least one of Jon/Jaclyn into the final four.

women are jealous of other women who have bigger boobs

Better episode tonight, and a pleasant surprise to see Josh go. It's a social game, and some of the men kind of forgot about that when Jon was on exile.

I know Jon is a bit worried about Jeremy being a threat, but they can always try to turf him long before the final 4 or 5. I think it was the right move for him.

[trackercowe]

Bleh, I'm not happy with which tribe they chose. Not that there's anyone I really like this year, but I prefer Josh/Reed/Wesley/Keith to Missy/Baylor/Natalie. Keith should have played his idol tonight since they knew they were voting Josh. Next week they know he has the idol and can vote for any of any of the remaining tribe. They were idiots for not placating to Jacqueline though, right then and there I knew who was going home.

Josh could come back in an all-stars season, out of everyone I thought he played a very good game (aside from maybe his first week).

[WhiteTiger]

Caught up to this weeks episode. While it was interesting...I find myself not really pulling for any one player. I like seeing where this is going, but I think that this is the first year I've watched I haven't really been hoping a certain player would take it all.

[WhiteTiger]

Wow, that was a hell of a tribal! Keith is either playing a hella social game we aren't seeing, has balls of steel...or just doesn't have a clue. I'm not sure which of those it is. Also, the look on Josh's face when Jeremy was voted out was priceless.

[brocoli]

I just don't see how Jon doesn't have a target on his back now. He's playing strong, and I think that the twin will flush his idol once the rest gang up on him and his alliance with Missy

[Komskies]

That was a pivotal vote last night, but I feel Jon and Jaclyn dug their own grave by voting Jeremy out. He is a strong player, there's no doubt about it, but he was also an ally (at that point in time) and a vote they very much needed. Now J&J may find themselves stuck with Missy and Baylor and on the wrong side of the numbers game against a bunch of singles (Natalie, Reed, Alec) plus Keith and Wes.

[GreenLantern]

Good move, but about 2 votes to early. I would have broken up Keith/Wes first and voted out Reed before I got rid of Jeremy.

Baylor and Missy are next to useless in an alliance, J&J are in trouble.

Good or bad move, it was a move this season (which has been just okay so far) desperately needed entertainment wise. I'm not a particular fan of anyone this season, so I'm just looking for shakeups. I thought Jeremy had the winner's edit - looked like the guy pulling the strings and he got a lot of praise from the contestants voted out before him. Hard to tell who wins now - I'm guessing we'll probably get a middle of the road winner like Jaclyn. Natalie looks like the swing vote next week, it'll be interesting to see what she does - depends how angry she is at Missy and Jon.

Funny how Josh vs Jeremy was played up as a storyline at the merge and now they're the first two sitting in the jury.

[killer_carlson]

I think Reed wins.

Although...I'm starting to wonder about Keith as well.

[WhiteTiger]

Damn, I really wanted Jon to go home. Damn Nat.

Also...those endurance challenges are nuts. I often wonder if I could do one. Multiple hours like that...crazy.

[Parallex]

It's just wrong what Survivor is doing to me... stop making me want to see a twinnie win something.

Very savvy play by her though. In one moment she guts an ally of her true (immune) target, establishes trust with her secondary target, and helps flush two idols... unless you think Jon plays the idol without her prodding and Keith doesn't play his without Jon first using his. I fear we may be heading towards a Missy win. Her or Nat and I would really rather not see Missy win.

[mile]

Damn, that was another great tribal! This merge has been great.

I like Keith, but looking at Reed and saying "stick to the plan" was terrible - it set off everyone's paranoia immediately, even though it was entertaining. That's the type of show Survivor is though - the most entertaining moves are usually the terrible ones.

I wanna see Reed or Natalie win now. As long as Missy or Baylor don't win...

Oh yeah, Wes bringing up Jeff's Two and a Half Men appearance and his chicken nugget win also made this episode great.

Was it just me, or was the whole "My girlfriend is barren but we're going to get through this" part was uncomfortable?
And with the next episode teasers hinting that they were going to break up?
It was just weird...

That actually makes me afraid that Jon might win this thing. It might be an attempt by the editors to give the winner a compelling personal story that makes the viewer more inclined to be less disappointed. That being said I thought Josh & Jeremy were getting the winner edit before they got their torch snuffed.

The way I see it...

Reed, Keith, and Alec are dead men walking at this point.
Jon & Natalie are favorites to win it.
Missy, Baylor, and Jaclyn are your proto-typical get to the end but get no votes type (I was thinking that Missy might win but I changed my mind).

Barring another immunity win Reed goes next, then it get's interesting... either the other two guys go home one after the other or Nat targets Jon. If Nat targets Jon I think Nat ends up going home (or maybe surviving a week via the idol but no more) because Missy values Jon more then Natalie (if she didn't then Jeremy wouldn't have gone home last week and/or Natalie wouldn't have been blindsided by the vote) and Baylor does what momma say.

[Barbecue]

Except for Natalie's quick thinking at Tribal, there's so much stupidity this episode...

1) you dont let people outside your alliance dictate to you how to vote
2) if you do happen to let 1) happen and you're in a conspicuous alliance, at least confirm with your alliance members where the votes are going before tribal
3) if the plan is going accordingly and the rival alliance dont suspect a thing, do NOT announce "Stick to the plan" followed by a wink, especially when there's 5 rival alliance members between you and him
4) When you realize its between you and your son going home, dont waste an immunity idol

Anyways, Natalie did a good job finding an idol for herself, discovering Reed's plans, flushing out 2 idols, and still maintain numbers in her alliance so they could afford to get rid of Jon later

[KootenayFlamesFan]

It never ceases to amaze me how many times people just get down from their challenge at the first sight of food. Wes runs over to eat, and what do you know.....he goes home. He could have used that immunity.

Was really hoping Jon was going home, something about him is bugging me now. Can't believe the 2nd to last pick I got (Nat) actually looks pretty competent out there, she could go far.
