From an interview posted on EW today:

So funny that I got stuck with Bhanu because next to Jelinsky, he annoyed me the most out of everyone, easily.

And actually, everyone was pretty annoying. I had to remind my wife that the first episode is always the honeymoon phase and usually with episode 2 or 3, they are all less annoying as the anger and hunger kick in.

Jess was also a train wreck. She’s lucky Jalensky was such a screw-up because she was an obvious out-first.

I actually like Kenzey a lot. Nice combo of strength and chill.

I actually watched the premiere episode the week it aired. This season is going to be interesting. Purple tribe is a train wreck.

Second game in a row where I have a player who seems really strong and who I genuinely like, but on a trainwreck of a tribe. In 45 it was Kaleb on Loser Lulu.

JuryDuty, I'm worried about your girl Liz. She broke the rule that you should understate yourself and not brag about how awesome you are or that she sold multiple companies. I'm not sure she'll last long.

Just finished the first episode just in time I like Soda the most but I think she will be blinsided. Sodar I don't like mine, he won't win, too much bro. This season is really a toss-up. But I really disliked Jelinsky so I'm glad he's out, keeps quitting everything and then oh no I'm in it to win it.

my girl Jessica needs her ADHD meds. Come on Jeff!

Her dietary issues are a concern.

I forgot about that. I wouldn't go on Survivor if I couldn't eat coconut....

Sorry chowderhead, but your “B” pick Tevin has looked like the much better player from the start. This trend has held up well in recent seasons not counting my pick of Jelinsky of course.

...

Definitely. She's sharing too much, but it's also amazing how they've literally given her a handful of quotes to the camera and they've picked and chosen very negative things. Not sure if they're trying to build a story here or what.

I'm always amazed by the people who go on and are like, "I don't know how to swim." Really? And you tried out for Survivor? LOL

I wonder how much of Liz's BS is, well...BS. Yeah, she seems to have her own website company (although who would pay to learn how to "write an email," god only knows), and other sites say her net worth is $1.2 million...but that's net, that's not what she's making per year...so I don't know. I DO know she's annoying as hell.

I was sweating at the Kenzey talk. Plus, that tribe would’ve been stupid to cripple their team by keeping weak players for the sake of some final-three strategy. They just have to win some challenges or they’ll all be gone.

Why did Bhanu say at the end of tribal that he was such a fool if everyone voted Jess?

Liz can't be that oblivious, can she? Is it a strategy? When she got complimented on her glasses, I thought she was going to reply, Oh, they're Gucci, $1,000, only the best for Liz.

I didn't understand the fake idol stuff. Why go through all of that, especially if they all knew she was going to be the one voted out?

They wanted her to feel secure so she wouldn’t do the shot in the dark.

I added the graphic to your post so that it didn't look like it was posted today.

Oof... that was tough.

So sorry...



It could be a record. I really did have high hopes for Randen too. Medical evacs are hard to take, but hopefully they will give him another chance in a future season.

Yeah, I hope Randen comes back as well. Of all the contestants this season, he seemed to be among the three or four "sane" ones. Apparently, the MRI came back negative and they just gave him some anti-inflammatories, and he's fine now...so that's good to hear.

Yanu with their first non-loss of the season!

Eff Q for plotting against Kenzie. But I understand how itmakes strategic sense.

Sorry spiderbite, thanks for playing. At least you can say that Bhanu was only the 2nd worst player in Survivor history.
