I do not miss individual reward challenges.

I do miss the dual challenges per episode. Last season it was because of the Redemption Island showdowns but that wasn't a factor here.

Mikayla's ears diminish her hotness.

Don't they separate reward challenges and immunity challenges after the merge now? They always alienate someone when they pick who they're going to take along on the reward. I do miss the reward challenges for teams though...

They've always had separate reward/immunity challenges for individuals. But sometime in the last couple seasons, team challenges have been consolidated into one combined challenge always.

Brandon: "Parvati screwed a lotta guys"
Coach: (laughs) "That's for sure"

Okay this episode was ridiculous and full of comedy mainly because of Brandon.

at Brandon saying he wanted Mikayla out because of how seductive she is and didn't appreciate that. So he thinks she's some kind of tease/temptress and would be tempted to cheat on his wife?

He was so fucking stupid at Tribal revealing himself.

His reasoning is that of a serial killer.

There is something not right about that boy. I hope they have a 24/7 watch on him while there are women in the area.

This pretty much sums up what I came to post

With Creepy Russell, we are watching the origins and thought process of a rapist. It's really fucking uncomfortable listening to his crazy musings about that girl.

I expect a thread bump in about three years' time

Glad I'm not the only who was getting a creepy serial killer vibe.

He thinks that this woman, who has shown zero interest in him, is somehow tempting him, and he's rambling incoherently about God.

I'm sort of expecting Jodie Foster to show up and arrest him.

While I guess we could both be right, I get a sense he's going to parlay his time on Survivor into some sort of religious nut/conservative nut talk show/ministry hour.
