It does seem kind of odd that at this point in the game, no one is left that has been portrayed as a "rooting" interest for the fans. At best, players like Tyler, Carolyn, and Sierra are just rolling along not doing anything noteworthy. Rodney, Dan, and Mike are all obnoxious. Shirin is annoying. And Will? He's already been useless the whole game. But that was probably the nastiest cruelest attack on another player I ever remember in the game.
Mike's social game was awful this episode. Pulling that stunt at the auction and in camp cost him Dan and Sierra ... and that would've tipped the game.
I don't know. I guess a positive is we're in the home stretch and I have no idea what's going to happen. Maybe the best case is Tyler stops playing an invisible game, and does something to step up (in a positive sense). Though he might not need to ... he's in a tight 2, as part of a bigger 4, as part of an even bigger 6. And he's the only one that I haven't heard anyone say they hate.

At this point, I hope Mike or Shirin win. The only potential winner from the other group that wouldn't be terrible is Tyler.
Hated the outcome of tonight's vote, but this is the only episode, so far, that's lived up to Jeff's hype. It could have gone either way. That said, Will's attack on Shirin was despicable. I'm glad she didn't let him have his letter. I know she has no social skills, but that attack was mean-spirited, personal and hurtful. It had nothing to do with the game.
At least Jenn, Joe and Hali can have fun at Ponderosa.

I know it's easy to comment from home, but I'm positive I wouldn't have just sat there and watched that attack go on. No matter how annoying she is, she definitely didn't deserve that attack and then to be mocked about it at tribal.
If you speak up from the minority, you probably can't do any more harm to yourself and I'd hope if I was stuck with that awful group of 6, that people would have respected me enough to not penalize me for sticking up for a girl who was just getting horribly abused by an idiot and a bully.
Shame on all of them for keeping quiet, when I don't think anyone's game would have been harmed for just saying a few words to shut him up or make her feel just a little bit better.

Entertaining episode, though most of it was because of what took place before tribal council. The TC was just a rehash of all the drama, and then Mike & Shirin even voted for Jenn, so they knew how it was going to play out.

Here's Probst explaining the extra vote in an ew.com Q&A:
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/04/17...-big-new-twist
The question I don't believe was answered--is there an "expiration" on this advantage, a time when it can no longer be used?

I like this season but I don't like anyone. Will and Shirin are the two I like the least. One or both will make it to the final three since they are the biggest goats. Mike is kind of playing the best but if he wants to win he'll have to drag along the goats.

Mike is pretty much geared towards going to the end regardless of his paranoia and stupidity. It's an entertaining season, but none of these people are compelling or anything. With Jenn gone, it's lost a lot of interest for me.
I'm still not sure how Jenn is a bigger threat?

It seems like Mike should have been able to convince Dan and Sierra that Rodney WAS plotting against him... the footage shown doesn't seem to show that he tried very well. This makes me believe that perhaps we saw footage that was edited out of order in order to make Mike's paranoia seem justified. I'm guessing that Mike pulled that stunt at the auction FIRST. After the whole tribe got mad at Mike, THEN Rodney got his foursome together and started talking matter-of-factly about taking out Mike.
It's a guess, but it seems to explain why Mike didn't use that opening scene conversation to defend himself.

I'd like to see a season finale where the jury is too apathetic to vote and the winner is decided by the finalists pulling rocks out of a bag.

This seemed like such a contrived episode to make something happen. It's been a lackluster season so far, and producers knew it.
Each season, the players are more savvy about how the show works. I think it's becoming a detriment.

Looks as though Tyler is the biggest threat who needs to be removed. Mike is a sitting duck (no way he can win repeated immunities to the Final) and the rest are pretty hopeless when it comes to challenges.

Doesn't Mike still have a hidden immunity idol? (The one he found from stalking Joe after Joe shared the clue with Tyler.)
I also wonder if Jen's insistence of leaving the game had more to do with the outcome than Mike failing to get Dan on his side... for all we know Dan is still on Mike's side since everyone (including Mike and Shirin) voted for Jen anyway.
Worst case scenario is a Dan, Will, and Rodney final three. Of all the seasons, that trio might actually get me to turn off the finale.

Because she was awesome at challenges on not crazy. Really at this point the only one that seems capable of keeping their cool and keeping an alliance together is Tyler. He is the only person left there that I think is a decent person. But then again, many probably thought the same about Will before that last episode. So much for the idea that they did a better job of not casting the stereotypical crazies this season.
That new extra vote twist is simply another piece that convinces me that they have been fixing the game for a very long time. The first few seasons were great given the cast very interesting people and let the original design of the game work as intended. Now it's just heavily weighted with disgusting people with a bunch of manipulation to create interest that I'm sure would be there is they just went back to the original model.
Given the combination of casting of crazies, and the constant unneeded stunts, this is quite possibly our last season watching Survivor. We dropped Big Brother a couple seasons again for the same reasons.

I have four eps sitting on my DVR that I am not in any hurry to watch. This season has been bad on soooo many levels for me.
I'm just not invested in nor interested in any of these people.

I really wish they would go to a real survivor type show and let them starve. You vote out those who know what they are doing you suffer. There is just no penalty for that and it's all just silly politics.

Props to Jenn for saying, "I hate this place, but at this point, I'm committed to stay just to mess up their game."
And props to Shireen for sticking it to Will when it mattered to him most.

Fuck Will. I don't like the chick either but he went way too far. I hope his wife gave him some serious shit. Has he done his obligatory post-show fake apology via twitter yet?
Dan is such a fuckhead, that watching him whine like a bitch for the letters gave me some mild enjoyment.
This has to be the most unlikeable group of people on Survivor ever. Once Joe left, I couldn't give a shit who wins out of this bunch. None of them deserve it.

Summary ... no reply or apology. Only to say he "got his popcorn".
Is Ponderosa any good so far? I'm tempted to check it out now see what Jenn, Joe, and Haley are talking about.

Probably should wait it out till the end and only watch them if the ending saves the season in some way.

The first one is worth it for Jenn at tribal council, but you'll only get enjoyment out of that if you like Jenn.
