Agree with all that.

I laughed at Stevie's comment at tribal tonight about getting a dog if you want loyalty, one of the best moments of the night. So true. It would be so hard to trust anyone in Survivor.

I totally would have destroyed the other tribe's camp completely if I was part of the tribe that won that reward. As George said, set it on fire, disappointed they didn't. They didn't even put the fire out completely, very poor.

Michael deserved to go - way too focused on just getting George out for no real reason. Glad Shonee talked the others around, as it was quite annoying.

Looks like Simon gets an idol of some kind from the preview, wonder if he uses it this time.
Haha Stevie's comment. Would love for him to get his revenge on Shonee but at the same time, I don't because I'm a big Shonee fan.

Michael was a bit dogey the way he went about it lol. In the end he said there were no hard feelings but was a case of going too hard too soon and rubbing people the wrong way.

With Simon, not sure why but I have a gut feeling he's going to use it the wrong way. Can't see him getting to the merge if he keeps on going at George. As Shonee mentioned, George is the perfect first merge target.

Looking forward to thought's episode.

We got trolled.

It was George and not Simon.

Simon must've gone through George's bag from the preview that was seen yday.

Not sure if anyone watched the first episode of Australian Survivor (everyone was probably watching MAFS instead), but the Villains got decimated. A bit disappointing, as they seemed to be the more interesting tribe of the two.

Most cringeworthy moment had to be a white woman saying they are more African-American than a black woman. That's going to go down really well when they actually spend some time focusing on the Heroes again...

This might belong more in the other TV topic, but they had an ad on during the show for the Aussie version of Taskmaster - it starts this Thursday. I thought it'd be on later in the year. I know there's a few fans of the UK version here who would probably be interested who might not be aware (I quite like it too, so looking forward to the Aussie version).
The Producers were lucky George and (the lady who had to leave) didn't break their necks on that first challenge. That CNN journalist who got sent packing wasn't ready for that kind of show lol, talked a big game but was mostly just talk really.
Yeah I hear ya about that Rogue woman, who call's themself Rogue?...lol a narcissist maybe?
Wondering how long this reality TV show goes for, after the record briefness of The Bachelors...hahah 12 weeks, 3 bachelors, a lot of women, meet women, fall in love, propose marriage...in 3 weeks please.... what the actual?

Hayley broke the winners curse. :love: Wish she had of got the idol though, as I can't see her surviving much longer unless they have a tribe swap.

Rogue sure helped her out tonight though, she didn't even want to be there in the end - that's just poor. There's a lot of people who'd love to be on the show, and instead they cast someone just because they are weird. Should have known from screen tests etc she wasn't the right type for the show.

Not sure why they thought they needed to put four votes on Gerry, that seemed overkill.

I think she was more of an egomaniac narcissist than a weirdo, felt like she was above everyone else, can't help thinking shows like this and the Bachelor etc aren't scripted to create fake drama for ratings.

I've been enjoying it so far, maybe a big move....King George?
I'm guessing Simon tries to use his "idol" to get George out as part of it and it backfires and Simon ends up going. There's a reason they have been pointing it out that it's a fake repeatedly. It would have been better if they had shown it as a real idol throughout and revealed only when he used it if it is fake.

I'm really not sure why they would put that token in the cookie jar if it has no purpose in the game though, there's something more in that.

Sunday night's episode is being advertised as the best tribal ever. I'll be surprised if it is, but sounds promising.

I'm still waiting for Sue's big move. 🤣

So much hype for tonight's episode. Hope they don't disappoint me.

Hard to match Cirie's tribal council from Second Chance where she got booted off without a single vote due to everyone else being immune.

What did you think?
It definitely lived up to the hype!

Poor Simon got played like a fiddle. You can't be targeting George and behave like that in front of him. That's not how you play survivor. Simon has just been schooled on Surivor by King George.

The editing for that episode was spot on. However as good as this episode was, it now just makes me think a villain wins this whole comp. Despite being outnumbered, I can't see how a Hero wins this now with how villain focused this episode was. This alliance of his could go quite far especially with those 2 girls in Shonee and Liz. Go team spice girls! 🤣

Great to watch, but again... just because of this, I'm not sure George can win based on this huge move. I think he may fall short of making the final 3.

Definitely one of the greatest tribals I have ever watched.

Simon is a dead man walking.

Long live King George! 😈

George - wow. That was impressive. Outplayed Simon completely. Pity things are about to change. Got to assume a tribe swap is happening soon with tribes of 11 v 6.

Those numbers should favour the Heroes, merge is at around 13 usually from memory, not sure how a Villain does win from here, but agree they are dominating screen time so far and it seems the likely winner will be from there.

That was a truely epic performance by George at tribal, one for the ages - I think he has effectively blown up Simon’s game completely. I don’t think any of the guys on the villains tribe can win now, I do think the spice girls in Liz & Shonee can go far.
Would be a very interesting night at that camp tonight after that tribal 😂

I think it's so villain focused because they keep losing the challenges, agree Simon shouldn't have shown so much open hatred towards George but he is quite annoying with his demeanour. No mention of how George shafted and blindsided Fraser in the process of trying to get Simon to burn his idol on Stevie. Think Simon will need to join the other side now if he's any chance of surviving much longer, that and win some challenges!

I actually thought Simon would play his "idol" only to find out its not an idol but an idol nullifier, nullify George's idol, George melts down only for the votes to get split like they did and Frazer still go home.
