Also if Franny had quite when it was down to 2 she and Matt both would have been safe. YES! THIS! I was hollering at her through my TV! Throw the last part of the comp! You're safe and your boyfriend will be too! Guess she didn't get the part about "outwit" and went for the part of "outlast" LOL I was VERY surprised that this wasn't even mentioned in any of the show edits. I actually felt pretty smart that I thought of it while I was watching the show. Hahaaaa!

I thought the girl had an advantage on the competition where they had to balance.. her feet are smaller, so on the smaller boards, more of her foot is supported. I thought it was unfair that the areas they were perched all appeared to be uniform in size ... Some people's arms were held straight out to hold themselves up and other were bent in a very awkward position. Seems like that would have a definite affect on muscle fatigue. I know many challenged in the past, they have built the station to match people's height/ limb length.

I don't think they had time to custom build that section, since they didn't know who would survive the windowing down process to get to the final 4 of the challenge.

it was a really good episode. I thought the girl had an advantage on the competition where they had to balance.. her feet are smaller, so on the smaller boards, more of her foot is supported. It wasn’t just balancing on the pieces of wood, you have to use your upper body strength to hold yourself in place especially when stepping down to the next level. In most of the challenges, there might be some people who do better: puzzles, swimmers, upper body strength to pull up a rope or rope ladder, runners, etc.

On the other hand, they were increasingly put on everyone's radar as a couple and that would have doomed them regardless.

So happy for Franny winning immunity! That was a tough challenge and Danny was not happy! Carolyn continues to crack me up. Looks like going forward it might not be the 3 tribes sticking with each other.
Did Kane leave with Jamie's fake idol? I so wanted her to play it!

I wanted the fake idol to be played! I love it when it happens! The extra vote got used. Things should get interesting.

I agree with Carolyn that Danny was a bigger threat than Kane.

I agree with Carolyn that Danny was a bigger threat than Kane. Me too. And Yam Yam. I was surprised by the vote.

I was sorry to see Frannie voted out last night but the minute she won the challenge, I knew she was a goner. The good news is, she and Matt can get on with their relationship at the jury compound. Do they ever show the jury any more besides at tribal? Carolyn bonded with her at the reward feast and was really pissed that they voted her out. They don't see Danny as the threat that he is. Cracks me up how Jamie is running around telling everyone that Kane left with her idol (fake but she didn't know it) and no one believes her.

Sad to see Frannie go as well. I think Yam Yam is a big threat they are ignoring. Frannie was the smartest choice to vote out. But I was still sad to see her go.

I had totally forgotten that Jamie's idol was a fake! Isn't Carolyn's idol a fake too because she put the wrong one back in the cage? (sorry haven't read the older posts)
Carolyn drives me crazy but she is playing a good game. But I'm glad I'm not on the island with her! Danny is a huge threat, as is Yam Yam and I'm amazed they can't see it
I was sorry to see Frannie go but knew from the edit she was getting that it was happening. At least she'll get more time with Matt
so Danny still has an idol, and Carolyn has one (maybe) - who else still has an idol or advantage?

Danny played his idol to save Frannie.
Heidi and Carolyn have idols, that they have managed to keep secret!

I love Carolyn. That’s all. I hope the preview of next week is just to build suspense. Or if her allies turn on her I hope she figures THAT out and thwarts that too.

Next year episodes will be one and a half hours. Very excited about that.

I love me a good blindside. I was so happy to see Danny go as I just couldn't stand him. I thought Carolyn was dumb as a rock and unwatchable at the beginning of the season but boy was I wrong, wrong, wrong. She has grown on me and is anything but dumb. She is probably my all time favorite survivor. I too hope she does not go home next week.

I am on team Carolyn all the way! Please let her win immunity.
The other 4 players were a hot mess.
Loved seeing Danny go. Going home on a blindside is an honor.

I loved how long Carolyn took to vote. The way she kept counting on her fingers, etc. And how everyone else was wondering what she was doing, including Jeff! I wonder how she figured out they were targeting Carson. I'm sorry she wasted her idol since Carson didn't end up needing it.

Carolyn has definitely grown on me, although I do find her to be annoying as heck. But she's definitely much smarter than she lets on!
I wish they would show why Lauren & Jamie turned on Danny. It looked as though they were on his side & were going to vote for Carson

Did they say why the change? Fewer episodes? I found this online: The Writers Guild went on strike last week, and scripted productions are shutting down or being delayed. By expanding both Amazing Race and Survivor by a half hour each, CBS effectively loses one hour on it schedule that it would normally need to fill with a scripted drama.
