That was a crazy episode. I have always agreed with Dalton—I don’t care how much you miss your loved ones, do not attempt to win that reward challenge! No good ever comes of it. People get so hurt and they almost always start conspiring, which is what happened here. People get a little crazy though. First, by nature of the reward, some people have to be chosen and some have to be left behind. You can’t bring everyone you want to. Plus, sometimes (especially if you’re smart) the people you choose aren’t always your alliance members. Sometimes it’s better to choose at least one outsider or enemy so they can’t be back at camp rallying the outcasts or finding HIIs. And it’s definitely smart to leave someone you trust and are aligned with back at camp to babysit. It’s a tough job, but it makes sense. Loved the relationship with Janet and her husband. When he made a comment about her always standing up for women, I thought my gosh,you have no idea. And even though I can’t stand Dan, it was adorable seeing his 13-year old son get to experience this. Damn though, did you see Dean’s back after pulling himself through that sand tunnel they had to dig? It looked like he left a piece of skin behind in the sand! And Janet’s toe on the immunit challenge? Yikes—I hope a medic Poked at that. The whole Noura tirade back at camp was ridiculous. Get a grip woman! And she could not understand why splitting their vote 3/1 made no sense. I actually felt for Dean. By the way, do we know what he and his mom were referring to when they talked about the rough time he had in high school? The best part though was Dean ratting out his alliance at TC and Noura going ballistic. When she tried to turnTommy against Dean and said she was “just getting ready to tell Tommy about the vote out”, I about died. I think the vote was a waste though. Karishma can’t win anything and Noura is a challenge beast. Maybe Katishma’s quieter, more sly game, opposed to Noura’s crazy in-your-face style made them more nervous. Okay, here are some links: Dalton’s recapKarishma’s Ponderosa

I forgot about the part when the bottom 4 were at the camp and Noura was ranting so much and said something about being friendlier and a bunch of other things more than Karishma. I would love to watch a YouTube video of her rant. And Dean looked like he was falling asleep. As usual I agree with and love your post jackie!

I thought Karishma talked earlier that her marriage was arranged and she wasn't happy in her marriage. Did I mis-remember? She said something about her and DH being roommates more than spouses so I'm getting the impression that she went along with the arranged marriage because of the enormous family/cultural pressure but never let her guard down and fully embraced what it could be. It will be interesting to see where things stand at the reunion show. I think this whole experience has been very empowering for her and hope she loses the victim mentality. She sure seemed to appreciate seeing her DH last night. Missy's popcorn eating cracked me up, too. We had a few interruptions watching yesterday and I really didn't understand why/how tribal went off the rails. I think Dean hated the idea of being allied with what he calls the "goat army" so much that he blew it up. Loved Lauren winning the IC!

The tribal council was annoying and pointless BUT when Elaine popped her head in the middle of the group to be a part of their conversation I died laughing. Someone HAS to make a gif/giphy of it. I need this in my life

Noura is crazy but fun to watch! Glad Karishma left, she’s definitely needs some counseling or something. She really did have 9 lives lol.
Do you think Dean was always gong to tell the truth to Tommy? Or was it a spur of the moment decision? Weird how mostly everyone voted for Karishma and not Noura. Why would they want a loose cannon who is physically fit to stick around? At least, you know Karishma probably won’t be winning immunity.
Love Elaine popping out! Also, love how Janet’s husband came out wearing pink to announce their new grand baby gender. Sweet! I’m still rooting for her or Elaine to win.

I really keep going back and forth in my mind on this question. I'm leaning to, in the end, Dean just couldn't align himself with the "goat army". He has always tried to keep strong physical players to shield behind and sees himself as the biggest threat of the four that would have voted out Tommy out and the logical first target of Dan, Janet and Lauren. He definitely didn't trust any Noura, Elaine and Karishma to have his back next week.

I wonder more and more each week if Noura’s plan is to get to final 3 as someone who could "never win", then tell the jury that was her strategy all along.

OMG. Who is watching?
Dan got removed at the very end of this episode after tribal council. He had another incident that did not involve a player. I knew he was an f-ing creep.

O M G ! Dan is soooo stupid. Even after two of the girls stuck up for him, even though some of the incidents were on tape, he had the nerve to step over the line with a production member. What a slime ball ! He just sent his life down the toilet where it belongs.

Dan was so clueless the week that production met with everyone that he didn't even realize then that it was about him. He obviously still was clueless or just didn't care. I really hope the reunion show is 60 minutes this time instead of the 30 minutes they've been doing because there's a lot they need to address during the reunion and they can't do that in 30 minutes and still talk about the usual game stuff.

For the first time, the 8-11 finale is being taped and not being broadcast live. They said due to sensitive topics and security concerns.

I'm glad to read that they are going to implement changes going forward. I hope one of them is that they no longer make so many of them play in their underwear. If they truly want to be respectful of people, they need to stop that. Thinking back to purple underwear crazy guy, I would have been so uncomfortable having to play with that guy parading around in his underwear and being in competitions in close contact to him like that. And it's not just him, but any players that have to play the game dressed like that.

I haven't watched survivor in a decade or more. To see Boston Rob and Sandra on again seems like I didn't really miss much.
I have mixed feelings about Dan and his "off camera" sexual harrassment. I am angry that an HR professional would do this. Is it ignorance, arrogance, or being used to be in a position of power that there on no accountablility? Odds are in the HR world, he had to deal with Sexual Harassment issues, his own or others. Did he use his position of power to protect abusers or himself? I hope Dan feels the consequences in the real world. In the DECADES of this show being on, is this the 1st time they had a person who behaved sexually inappropriately? It makes you go hmmm.
Seeing the Ponderosa out takes, which I have not watched, before is fun. It's nice to see everyone enjoying themselves.
Jeff Probst is still fine as hell.

I think a few more guys after that pushed the limits too!

I imagine there are other people around where they are kept, staff at the Ponderosa; chefs, house cleaners, hospitality, etc. I am more inclined to think it was one of them. Just shows how clueless and un self aware people are, or how ignorant and self important. It is shocking that he would continue to harass people after being called out on it. I am glad he was removed. I hope he faces some repercussions for his actions.

I read on Twitter that it was while getting on the boat after the immunity challenge and another contestant witnessed it but it wasn’t caught on camera.
why was he even still there for the tribal? His little boy, how does he even go to school tomorrow?
This entire season has made me uncomfortable.
Daltons commentary about sums it up.

He was still in the game, in the camp with the others - they don’t have chefs or cleaners?
