You know, I don’t think she’s interesting or dynamic enough to bring back as a villain. Watching her sit on a log giving orders has no entertainment value. I also agree with you about killing the rooster. Hopefully someone on the tribe is smart enough to do that. Here is the link for Dalton’s recap. Also, in Daltons Q&A he asked Jeff where they go when they evacuate. Here is what he said:

I got a good old-fashioned belly laugh out of the last scene. That was one of my favorite scenes in a long time.
I remember after the last evacuation, the players said it was basically a concrete bunker with a blanket or two and very minimal food. They weren't allowed to talk, though we know from hearing about the pre-season that they can communicate non-verbally, even before they actually know each other.
On the eggs - why on earth didn't they just pass them out and each do what they wanted to do with their share of the eggs? There was no reason it had to be all or none.

They came back in the same clothes and it didn't look like they had a shower.

Every year when they get chickens, the survivors think they have to keep the rooster in order to get eggs. I hope these are smarter than that. The hens would probably lay better without the rooster anyway.

WHO GOES TO LIVE OUTSIDE FOR OVER A MONTH AND DOES NOT BRING A JACKET? ??

WHO GOES TO LIVE OUTSIDE FOR OVER A MONTH AND DOES NOT BRING A JACKET? ?? RIGHT? Holy Moses these people and the outfits they wear! If I was headed to play survivor, every outfit I took with me would consist of cargo pants with zip off legs to make into shorts, a sturdy black sports bra and sturdy black boyfriend shorts. A tank top, under a long sleeve top, under a lined rain jacket, long socks, good supportive shoes that can get wet/dry quickly and a dang hat. If it's that you don't know what day you will actually start the game, I'd be prepared every day, no matter how hot I was with all those layers. I've never understood the stupidity of the outfits worn on this show. And if it's production telling you what to wear, well that's just BS.

I was just reading somewhere else.. probably FB, that they don't have any choice on what they are wearing. Something that is done ahead of time? If I can find what I read I will post. But sounded like when they are plucked to go, it is what they are wearing or what is chosen for them?

The contestants bring clothes with them, but production decides which pieces they can take to use during the actual show filming, and often gives them specific pieces of clothing. And remember they only get maybe one outfit and a swimsuit. The contestants don't have the final say, I do know that.

I have read that production will sometimes dress them in some stereotypical way (dweeb, exec, etc), but clearly it's not like jackets are generally off limits since many (most?) survivors seem to have them. I mean, if she brought a jacket and production took it away, that's pretty messed up IMO.

I mean, if she brought a jacket and production took it away, that's pretty messed up IMO. She's young and I'm guessing here but probably brought clothes based on fashion and how she would look in them on TV over function and how they would serve her living and surviving outdoors for all that time. We, who are older and wiser know function comes first, then fashion. Yes, you want to look good but you also don't want to freeze and be soaking wet the entire time either. I get that production makes the final choice but if I were going on Survivor like jlynnbarth I'd choose my clothes more wisely (what to bring with me) based on function and using a layering principal. What good is a thigh length sweater going to do me out in a wet, tropical environment that gets cyclones? A Gore Tex rain jacket that's light and is completely wind and water proof would have been a much better choice along with a pair of Gore Tex pants-again water and wind proof. Under that a thin fleece zip up jacket-for when it got cold and windy. Under that a swim suit, and a pair of under wear/bra for when that's wet. Pus a T-shirt and shorts. Running shoes and sandals that are water proof, and a couple of hoodies and you are good to go. Of course this is only during cyclone season that you'd need the fleece and wet rain gear.

I was so happy to see her leave this week! I could not handle being on the same tribe as her. I'm surprised nobody told her off at any point in time at their camp. The jacket thing was so bizarre. To try to scam someone out of their jacket like that before tribal council was so odd, and then to refuse to leave her jacket when she was the one leaving. and the eggs would have been just fine for a couple days. Most countries outside of north america don't refrigerate their eggs at all Yes, exactly to all of this. The jacket thing put Angelina in a real bad light too. She was wanting someone to steal Lyrsa's jacket, for crying out loud! I hope she goes soon too. That is an asshole way to act. Though not quite as much of an asshole as Natalie ignoring the "Can I have your jacket? Natalie?" Her explanation (that she didn't know if Angelina was part of the plan to kick her out) was dumb; she'd already seen two votes for Lyrsa; did she really think the second one wasn't from Angelina? Nah, she's just a bitch. I loved pretty much everything about this episode. Loved that they got their SECOND cyclone of the season and had to be evacuated for only the second time in Survivor history (note to producers; maybe you want to rethink your timing of the shooting in Fiji). I thought it was funny that Davie, was it? I still don't know all their names, was talking about "boiled chicken tonight!" Silly guy. Those are LAYERS. You keep them alive and have eggs every day. Kill them and it's a tiny bit of meat per person and done. And I was SO relieved that the Giant Asshole tribe lost. Oh, that isn't the name of the tribe? Yeah, I can't keep those straight either. And what a freaking relief to see Natalie go home. CBS, if you EVER bring her back, I'm gonna spit nails! Yuck! I loved how all the teams worked together actually, there really was no ego inovolved (not counting Natalie, who is only ego). Yep, this episode felt much more "classic Survivor," and I loved it. I agree with everything you said about Angelina above. What I saw was her plotting to vote Lyrsa out so that she could steal Lyrsa's jacket. Yes, Lyrsa is a David but I honestly think in Angelina's mind the biggest reason she wanted Lyrsa out was for her jacket period. Didn't she and Natalie go over to the lawyer with the southern accent (I still don't know who everyone is either) and tell them of their idea to vote Lyrsa out and even mention the jacket idea and he wasn't up for this idea at all-He said in his mind voting someone out to steal their processions wasn't ethical at all in his mind and he was right! Angelina was able to hide behind Natalie for quite a bit regarding this and I have no idea why she even came clean at tribal council about it-I guess she figured too many people know by that time and eventually it'd come out and bite her in the butt and she'd have a much bigger target on her back then. Anyway, when she was doing all of this plotting I decided I didn't like her. I mean, who does this? Plots to get someone out just so that they can steal their processions? It left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Probably a poor decision but perhaps she figured Lyrsa was getting voted out anyway. I don't have opinions on her one way or another but I thought it was kind of noble that she spoke up when Natalie was being piled on about the jacket. Then her good intentions went to crap when Natalie didn't give her her jacket. That is my least favorite tribe.

Someone may have covered this already, but the Survivors have to send photos of all the clothing they are going to bring, and then production goes through and picks what they wear. Sometimes, you’ll notice the starting tribes are color coded, even in wardrobe choices. They have even been known to give them clothes to wear when they aren’t happy with the choices. I am pretty sure I heard that Cochran wasn’t a sweater vest wearing person before the show. On a podcast I listened to this week, someone said they also often allow pants OR sleeves and not both.

I am so glad Natalie got voted out and I'm amazed it took this long to do it. I am in awe of everyone who was in a tribe with her that they were able to keep their tongues around her for so long. I honestly don't think I could have done it.
That was one heck of a storm! Can you imagine your frustration of coming back and seeing all of that devastation and then having to rebuild everything from scratch all over again? Just when you'd gotten it pretty much where you wanted it? By that time they were all exhausted and hungry (not like day one) and they had to do it all again. I felt most sorry for the new tribe (tribe number 3) who'd just finished building their new camp.
I really liked seeing 2 challenges this episode instead of just one since we had a reward challenge and an immunity challenge. The reward challenge with the chickens and the eggs-you'd think after all this time people would read up about how you don't need a rooster to have laying hens lay eggs but every season we seem to have Survivors who are so confused by this. Natalie and those eggs. Oh my gosh! Here we have Lyrsa who just completed culinary school telling her she knows exactly how long those eggs will last, but no-Natalie's word must be obey'd. Notice how even though most everyone else didn't want to boil them all at the same time, Natalie just gathered them all up, put them all in a pot and boiled them all at once anyway? I think that must have been the one and only time the entire time out there she lifted a finger to do any bit of work. And it was only to get her way.
That last one with the small ball going up that maze was really close and I was very happy to see Christian participating in it and how happy he was to finish it and how happy his teammates were gathering all around him to cheer him.
DS kept saying Natalie was the perfect person to take to the final 3 but I said she's just too much of an annoying person to keep around camp. It just wasn't worth it to keep her there-there is such a thing as camp peace. I was thrilled to see her go and what a *itch she was on the way out. Didn't surprise me one bit.

I don't have opinions on her one way or another but I thought it was kind of noble that she spoke up when Natalie was being piled on about the jacket. Then her good intentions went to crap when Natalie didn't give her her jacket. That is my least favorite tribe. Angelina targeted Lyrsa because she wanted her jacket. And wanted Natalie to help her get it. With them this close to the merge, I would have expected them to target Nick. Based on Dalton's recap, Angelina tweeted that she was in on voting Natalie out. Her defending Natalie at tribal, voting for Lyrsa and giving Natalie the "I'm so shocked, what happened" good-bye hug were all planned to manipulate Natalie into give up her coat. Natalie didn't give up her coat because she didn't trust Angelina not to play her and she was right. I'm not a Natalie or Angelina fan. I do love that the David/Goliath numbers are now equal. I hated that Dan found a second idol and have my doubts whether he can keep it a secret. I also think there is a lot of foreshadowing him going home with 2 idols in his pocket. Elizabeth continues to be my favorite and I'm hoping she is able to team up with Alison and Gabby after the merge.

In fairness to Angelina, in honor of the jacketgate episode she is donating to The Empowerment Plan. Not sure how to embed a tweet but the link is here.

Angelina did not exactly come clean. She did not acknowledge her complicity. She only defended Natalie's motivation. She did not put herself at risk in any way.

I watched. I wasn’t sure how it would go either but it seemed like they were leading us to believe it was going tobeAngelina so I thought, hmmm, I bet it will be Lyrsa. So, I’m still loving to watch Christian. He’s definitely the breakout star of this season. He is so interesting and if he’s genuine, just so endearing and lovely. I actually like his tribe the most and really root for them. I love how the guys are treating him. How sincere it s with Dan, it’s hard to say, but it definitely seems sincere with Mike, whom I also like a great deal. Omg, when Christian was feeding Mike and they both admitted they’d never done anything like that before. Adorable! Gabby on the other hand was very smart to reach out to Allison. I loved their little bonding moment together. The reward challenge was great. I was glad to see my favorite tribe win and it was good to see the underdog tribe win some food as well. Poor Lyrsa on that challenge though; that was just not good! And then the immunity challenge. Again, I loved seeing my favorite tribe win so handily, but it was heartbreaking to watch that losing tribe. They just could not do it. On the other safe tribe, Elizabeth had reached her breaking point, and quite honestly came off as a little nuts. I completely get what she was saying about the bamboo. And while Davey was being a her about it (actually throwing out the bamboo that Elizabeth and. Cara had cut),Love z still didn’t go about it right. Her actions alienated her from her tribe mates. Looks like next week Angelina is going to be plotting against my boy (they really should have gotten rid of her over Lyrsa) and I can’t have that. She is so very obnoxious though. As soon as you hear people saying they’re controlling the whole game or they’re master strategists, first, you know they’re obnoxious, and second, you know that won’t bode well for them. Let’s hope AngelINA is ousted SOON! Dalton’s recap is already up. Off to read it myself now.

I was sad to see Lyrsa go. I know it was incredibly hard for them to get rid of anyone at that moment. I was just hoping it was Angelina. I was surprised that the one guy (don’t remember his name) went back on his word to Lyrsa. My favorite part of tonight’s episode was the last clip when Lyrsa said that she was more pissed off about having to go to the Ponderosa and be in Natalie’s presence. 😂

i thought it should have been Angelina too. Always get rid of the devious ones that you can't trust! Just because she tells Nick she has his back, she'll turn on him as soon as its convenient for her.
And I was cracking up over Lyrsa's comment at the end about Natalie too

Angelina kept going on and on about why she wrote Lyrsa’s name on the previous TC. It felt very phony to me. I think she had every intention to try to vote her out and thought Mike was voting for her.

I can understand she reached her breaking point, but no one on her team is lazy or stupid. If you have that kind of flip out and can't put the target on someone else that is being lazy/stupid, the tribe turns on you. It will be interesting to see how the alliances shift with the merge. I think Dan will be the first to go and with a couple idols in his pocket. We know Alison wants to target him, it's the time in Survivor to get rid of strong physical players and I don't think he has a strong alliance with anyone that would protect him.

Hope is not a strategy. Brilliant words. DH uses them all the time, well he says Hope is not a COA (Cause of Action). He's in the Air Force and gets daily briefings from his people. They love to say, "we hope the enemy will do xyz." Nope. You have to make a plan, work the plan, stick with the plan. Lyrsa...it was sad to see her go. AND that she took her jacket!!! You knew she just didn't have it in her to win, but I liked her and I think this will be a great experience with her moving forward. TIVO clips the end of Survivor, so I never get to see the NEXT TIME ON SURVIOR clips, but I can just imagine. I'll have to look for it online. Angelina needed to go, but it looks like there was a bargain struck to get rid of Natalie. It's still early enough in the game where they can't be flipping openly on each other. In the end, I hope it doesn't come back to bite them in the butt! Natalie is a thinker and she's proven she can't be trusted. And they all admit that they don't trust her. Am I the only one who wondered why Davey couldn't land a ring in the ring toss? I stink at sports and I still think I could have landed at least one ring on dumb luck alone. He seemed to be trying for a long time before he finally got one to stick. Did you all read Dalton's interview with Natalie? The whole time I was reading it I just kept thinking "riiiight." I believe the show is edited to make certain perceptions, but then in the end they always seem to give a bit of the back story. If she really was trying to guide them to make fire, why didn't they show that at the end? I don't know--that one in particular seemed fishy. And as for getting hurt in a challenge--um, you are there to win and fight for the win. Not to be babied in a challenge! And ametallichick, here's the answer about Lyrsa and her Jacket.

Sooo, we had the merge last night. I really liked Elizabeth at first but the past two weeks she has kind of been getting on my nerves. Unless I misunderstood, Angelina sought her out to tell her she was being voted out. When Angelina misrepresented what happened, I would have been yelling Liar Liar Pants on Fire! I really thought the way everyone was whispering, that Angelina was headed to the jury and was surprised that it was unanimous to send Elizabeth. I guess Alex didn't want to stray from his alliance just yet. When Dan was competing for immunity and he kept saying to himself *just remember how awesome you are* I was like *big head much?*. Who does that? Maybe everyone does and I never got the memo. I hope Angelina is next. She keeps telling everyone to get rid of Christian. I really like Allison!
