I would say she's the odds on favorite to win it all right now, and it'll make a good story to the jury once she reveals her true age.

Sure she looks like a turkey that's been left out in the sun for too long, but Sue has been impressive this season.

Yeah the challenge beasts never really win if that’s all there is to their game. Keeping him around doesn’t hurt anyone at this point and may help because he prevents others from picking up a few wins to boost their own resume and ensures you have the choices you want at tribal because he wins.

Kyle is on borrowed time

Sue has done really well!

I thought for sure it would have been Sam after all of the negotiation.

Radio show host Gabe talked a big game coming in, wanting to be on the "New Era Mount Rushmore" of Survivor. He got off to a hot start, finding an idol and locking in a secret trio with Sue and Caroline that ran his tribe. Unfortunately, that put a sizable target on his back when the merge hit, perceived as the biggest threat out of the most solid bloc in the game in the former Tukus. Despite always being the topic of conversation, Gabe was able to avoid becoming the primary name, as the revenge plots of other contestants had him and the Tukus as four of the Final Nine. But when it came to being a decoy vote, the rest of the competition told the Ravens fan "nevermore." Despite Genevieve emerging in the forefront as the newest target, Gabe's status as a threat had loomed too large to ignore. As a result, everyone except Sue, including two of his fellow Tukus, came together to blindside Gabe at his most confident.




with the Gabe vote, transplant99 and GreenLantern take their first hit.

Hopefully someone else does something dumb and takes the heat off of Genevieve, lots of players have he in their crosshairs.

We knew there was a good chance that it would happen eventually (despite Andy’s calculations), but it was still something of a shock when he was finally vulnerable at a Tribal Council.

This episode saw the formation of an underdog alliance consisting of Andy, Rachel, Sue, Caroline, and Teeny — a majority in an eight-person vote.

After Rachel won Immunity, the underdogs simply had to choose their target. There was some back and forth about whether to get Kyle out while he was (finally) up for elimination or to focus their efforts on Genevieve instead. Ultimately, Genevieve was safe and Kyle’s torch was snuffed



with the Kyle vote, jg13 takes their first hit and Sultan is voted off the CP Island!.

Wouldnt surprise me if Kyle is selected for Season 50, seems to espouse what Jeff is looking for.

Genevieve is now on the hot seat!

[WhiteTiger]

Aw man. I figured it'd happen pretty soon, but I was really rooting for Kyle there.


I really liked the journey timer, too. What a novel way to add pressure to a puzzle, instead of just having an hourglass there.

[ajr4013]

I don’t think I’ve been that happy with a vote in a long while.

[csnarpy]

[jg13]

I cannot believe my dud just pulled off the move of the game!!!!

[WhiteTiger]

Wow, well, that was a hell of a plan.

It's a shame that after making and executing probably the best play of the game so far, they picked the worst possible target out of the 3 they could have chosen. Teeny or Sue would have been so much better to remove than Caroline. Glad it worked, though. Way to blow up the game nicely.

It's kind of funny, but now that they are talking about 'if you made it onto the jury, would you vote for me to win?" I have to admit...if I was on the jury, I don't think I'd be voting for any of them. Not a particularly interesting bunch. Though, and I can't believe I'm saying this...if Andy made it to the Final Three, and was able to articulate his part in Operation Italy believably, I'd likely vote for him (also assuming that there aren't any more huge plays to be played).

[VANFLAMESFAN]

“Now that’s how you do it on Survivor.”



Great moment. Rachel/Sue/Teeny still in drivers seat with all the idols/block a vote, so it’ll be tough to see the Op Italy team stay in tact. But whatever, they gave us one of the more impressive moves in the last 20 seasons or so.

[dino7c]

I wanted to reach through my TV and strangle Teeny...glad she looked like such a dumbass in the end

After the seven remaining players were able to vote out Kyle — the biggest immunity challenge threat — last week, it was time for them to start thinking about who they wanted to sit with at the upcoming final tribal .

With Andy, Rachel, Caroline, Sue and Teeny in the majority alliance, Sam and Genevieve found themselves on the outs. Caroline and Sue continued to solidify the strong bond they’ve had since the beginning, while Genevieve apologized to Andy for previously discrediting his game.

For the reward challenge, the players had to untie sandbags, move a ball through a net tunnel, retrieve a second ball, navigate a net obstacle, then land both balls on a tall perch. Sam had a major comeback and won the reward, earning an overnight at the sanctuary, a big Italian feast and letters from home.

Because of the addition of the family letters, Sam got emotional while making a decision about who to take with him. Sam picked Andy to go with him because he previously promised to take him on a reward, despite them not being on the same page game-wise at the moment. For his second choice, Sam picked Genevieve, leaving Sue, Caroline, Teeny and Rachel headed back to camp with nothing.

Andy approached Sam and Genevieve with a new plan. He suggesting building suspicion that Genevieve or Sam has an idol so that the other players would split the vote. That way, he could team up with Genevieve and Sam, giving them enough votes to target someone else — namely, Rachel. The trio spent the night coming up with the specifics of their plan, which they dubbed “Operation Italy.”

Rachel won the individual immunity challenge, earning herself a spot in the final 6. This left Andy, Genevieve and Sam with their main target off the chopping block. Sam and Genevieve still wanted to go ahead with “Operation Italy,” but target Caroline or Teeny instead.

At tribal council, Sam and Genevieve still tried to play up her having an idol until moments before the votes were read. The first vote was for Sam, followed by one for Genevieve, then one for Caroline. Sam and Genevieve then each received another vote, followed by a second — and third — for Caroline, sending her home. And “Operation Italy” was officially a success.

After the vote how did no one stand up and exclaim "ah! Now that's a spicy meatball!"

[mikephoen]

I don’t even care that my last person is gone. At least a well planned and executed move finally happened.

[Khel]

Just watched it, loved that episode! I can't believe that worked!

They are so screwed though, the other side has 2 advantages.

[WhiteTiger]

Well...that happened.


Was kinda hoping Genevieve would stay, but not surprised they took her out.

Feel like it's going to come down to Sam or Rachel. Sue and Teeny have just been brought to the end.
