Nice. Two blindsides in a row. Krystal and Kenny have done a nice job so far. Merge next week you think?
Kenny is the only one who Marcus can't blame, is pretty likable, and not a very intimidating player.

One thing I liked that Susie said was that top 6 isn't good enough, she wants top 3. I can't believe how many players over the years just seem to be satisfied with making the top 5 or 6, even though will be the first one gone at that point. That stupid-ass Bobby John's lifelong dream was to make it to the merge. Way to shoot for the stars. I doubt Susie has the game to actually make it to the final 3, but at least she will not be satisfied unless she gets there.

I will love seeing Corinne's and Randy's faces next week when they see Marcus got the boot. I actually liked Marcus, but I'm happy about the blindside just because I hate Corinne. This ought to bring King Randy down a notch.

Poor Bob, the look on his face was one of anguish once he realized Susie just screwed over their alliance of 6 (which is pretty untenable given the personalities involved).

Big Survivor twist. Completely changed a predictable Survivor season. I liked it. Two tribe swaps totally fucked over the power alliance. It's too bad because they may not be the best group but Charlie, Corrine, Randy and Bob are actual Survivor players.... Kenny, Crystal and Suzie are unbelievable chumps. Matty and Sugar would be stupid not to vote with the second group. As it stands now I would like to see Matty win. Marcus was my original choice followed by Matty, Randy then Corrine. He seems like a truely good guy which can screw him in Survivor if doesn't see all the angles, but unlike Eric from last season he does seem to have some smarts to him.

Did you notice that when the new tribes met up for the immunity challenge Jeff said something to Marcus and Marcus said "my whole game plan has changed" and then they switch to his alliance members at Fang for reaction shots and you see Corinne and Randy look really confused and Charlie still has that huge grin on this face. Maybe someone can post a screenshot but that was pretty funny.

So Marcus was really proud of himself for getting everybody to agree to throw away the idol...whoops!
Corrine is a nut job. She's the hot girl who seems really nice at first, and turns out to be a psycho. I'd keep my distance if I were the others.

Marcus blew it !
He never should have told Crystal they were voting off Ken.
He should have told her they were voting off Suzie as a decoy.
Crystal would have been ok with that.
I'm rooting for Matty. I hope he or Bob wins it.
Now Matty has a pretty good chance.

To go far in the game, yes. To win, I'm not so sure. Matty has proven himself to be the best competitor this season. Once his group finishes pegging off the Randy alliance he will need to run the table in immunity challenges to stay in the game because he'll have a target on him. I think he's secured Sugar as an ally but Kenny Crystal and Suzie seem to have more power.

Can't say I liked that blindside. Now the losers who were doing the worst job of surviving have the upper hand. Crystal gets worse in the challenges every time. Seeing as how she lasted 1 second or less last night, I guess she can only get better from here on out.

Crystal finally showed some game - up to now she was pretty disappointing. I don't think so but it made me wonder if she's been throwing challenges on purpose. Suzie is pretty straightforward and easy to both read and manipulate. Marcus would have still been in there if he'd just said he was taking her to the final three. Of course thinking he was responsible for getting everyone to throw away the idol was delusional, since that was pretty much all Randy.
If the other players are smart, Corinne will be next to go. Anyone who believes in revenge -- while playing a game!? -- is definitely a "nut job".

I agree that Marcus's dumbest move was 1. Trusting Crystal and 2. telling her to vote out Kenny when he should have said Suzie.

I'll assume some or all of you have seen Jeff's blog on EW.com?
Makes for a good read.

Another immunity challenge and another absolute disappointment for Crystal. I will give you some insight, a bit of behind the scenes. Whenever we start a challenge in which people must do some certain thing for a long time, I always give them five seconds to get themselves situated and then I officially begin the challenge. Crystal could not hold onto those poles for even five seconds. She kept trying but was literally unable to hold these extremely light poles for five seconds. After a few attempts I finally said, "Crystal, the next time we do this, the challenge will begin the second I say go and you're on your own. I can't give you any more chances." She lasted less than a few seconds.

Good point, I had forgotten about that myself. I'm glad Matty won the challenge for Fang. I can't wait to see the full reactions of Corrine and Charlie along with Randy, who I hope gets voted off soon.

It's true that Bob is pretty screwed, but Randy, Corinne and Charlie still have the power in the other tribe and could get Sugar or Matty out, assuming they go to tribal next. If that happens, then the merge, that group still has the upper hand or at least a tie.
