I'm glad I got my brother into this season since he never watches. He liked Tyson but now is rooting for Denise. Sounds like he has great taste. He does for the most part.

You're saving me?! No! Don't" type stuff too often. That "humble" I can't believe you would save me! She did it when Kim played the idol for her. It's the smallest of small gripes, but it irritates me a little. lol Still love her though!

Only just started watching after the Tyson vote. It's pretty solid.

It should be interesting to see if Tony is able to keep it going tonight. I think he wants Sarah and Nick to kind of be his new Trish and Woo from his first season, but I don't know if Sarah will play along.

I started watching this season again because I saw Yul was going to be on it, as well as Adam and Sarah from other seasons that I watched them win. I really like the frantic nature of this season. I just really don't want Ben to win because he just doesn't seem to be as smart as the other players playing but beyond that I won't care. Even Michelle, who I don't think should have won her season, is playing really well this time around.
I didn't watch Tony's season and he wasn't around long enough on Game Changers for me to get a good vibe on him, but I find him really entertaining and his social game getting the extortion tokens from both sides made him look really good. Tonight will be interesting, but I do think Jeremy will be the one to go home.

If Tony doesn't win this season goating Sarah and Ben to the end I will be shocked. I find this sad because Sarah was so good in her season that she won, but I feel she is being played more than anyone right now.

Her big mistake was not having Tony play his idol on her last night. If he does, it gives them a chance to vote him out the first time he doesn't win immunity, but that's only if he doesn't find another one.

I really dislike the tribals of modern Survivor. I hate the whispering and gameplay. I always felt tribal should be a gameplay pause. Maybe I'm just bitter that my girl Kim was eliminated.
Ben cracks me up. I can certainly see why people wouldn't like him though. Not that I think he's necessarily "good" at Survivor. It endlessly cracks me up that Ben can blab about plans and paint himself into corners yet not be voted out.
It's looking good for Tony, who could still be a decoy winner. He's playing much better this year than his previous two times.

Tony is having a masterpiece of a game this season.
Could go down as the greatest player to ever play if he gets the win.

I wouldn't really consider whoever wins this season to have it as that much of a feather in their cap. It's a very strange season and it'll be a while before we get inside scoops. I think Tony has had a masterpiece three episodes so far. It still remains to be seen. I would have a hard time ranking his game above the following: - Richard Hatch in Borneo - Boston Rob in Redemption Island - Kim in One World - Brian in Thailand - JT/Fishbach in Tocantins - Denise in Phillipines - Yul in Cook Islands - Parvati in Micronesia - Sandra Parvati* in Heroes vs Villains Those are the most impressive wins* I've seen so far. Even some runner ups have had more impressive runs. Coach in South Pacific and Devens in Edge of Extinction come to mind.

I have a hard time giving Boston Rob too much credit for his win. It was his 4th time playing and was with a bunch of people who really didn't watch the show or know how the game was played. A lot of the seasons in the 20's had a bunch of recruits and that season looked like they let Big Brother casting do the job. It sad to hear how even the fans vs favorites seasons were loaded with people who only watched the seasons given to them after they were cast.

I'm not a huge fan of Rob but I do think he deserves some credit. Whether people have watched the show or not isn't really relevant to seeing one person completely dominate a season like he did. It isn't entertaining and he does have dumb dumbs with him, but I'd struggle to completely command a group of strangers. I think he deserves a decent amount of credit. However, the fact that he was playing with idiots and it being his 4th time keeps him out of serious contention for the best of all time.

I can't get enough of this despite it being not that good.

No way Tony doesn't win this. His allies are too scared to move against him and he has an idol. Probably too late to get him now unless there's some twist at the very end.

The only way I see Tony not winning is if he loses fire to Ben. Maybe just maybe someone takes a shot at next tribal or at least flushes his idol, but it is likely going to have to be Ben beating him in fire.

I could easily see Tony losing to whoever comes back from Extinction too. That's pretty much how Extinction worked it's first time around, I don't see it being any different. If Tyson comes back, Natalie comes back, Rob comes back, I see them all winning.

Chris only won the first EOE season because it was Gavin and Julie in the final 3. If Rick, Victoria, or Lauren were in the final 3 he likely loses, at least according to most of the post game podcast jury members have been on. Gavin and Julie weren't seen as the ones making the moves and Chris was a big reason the other 3 went home.
I think Tony and Sarah would beat an EOE returnee as they seem like the big players of the season. Michelle I think may beat most EOE, as the season underdog that gets to the end usually does well with the jury. Ben and Denise may lose to pretty much any EOE returnee as Ben social game seems to suck and Denise hasn't done much since merge and jumped to the bottom of the numbers before being the true underdog.
