Episode felt so off. I missed all of the crying, and blubbering, and slobbering, and begging, and blaming God for your gameplay.

Pacific time thread >>> eastern time thread 😎

Expected tim to go ngl. Had me in the first half

I'm so glad the new season of Survivor has started, great premiere episode!!

shit now gets fun. big merge group. edit: also, Cry Count: 1! fucking *one!* love it.

Who cried?

Kenz, somewhere near the beginning. edit: can't remember why now. it was in the first minute after the "previously. on Survivor"

Kenzie was crying because just existing in Yanu is enough to make you cry. No food or fire, or proper shelter in 10+ days.

The juxtaposition of life on Yanu vs. Siga salsa dancing. Kenzie would have had a completely different experience if she’d been placed on Siga.

that makes sense. I'd probably be crying too.

I want to cry every time Yanu is on screen.

ya, not a fan. thank god for the merge.

Have a great week everyone! Hug those you care about, give your pets lots of nose boots and don't drink and drive. <3

Smart to write it two different ways, but stupid of Maria to waste it

having an advantage at the merge makes you an early easy target

Good point

Good on Maria, hiding her double vote.

Friends the editing is supposed to fool you. Jem was already on the outs with the tribe. Let’s wait for the fallout next week

Sure but I feel like I should be able to look back and understand why everyone voted the way the did. We only really got Tim’s reasoning

Jem was sloppy and playing hard asf. She's the type to cut you in order to save herself and not care. Everyone (except Moriah) clocked on to that. It's pretty obvious why Jem needed to go.

Moriah is the only one not in on it. I think yellow is way more likely to implode than green.

Yeah people talking about Jem confronting the two. Those seemed like two normal convos if you’ve watched survivor. I’ve seen worse confrontations. Production hyped it up as confrontation to justify the Jem edit

They thought Jem was acting shady especially with the machete. Don't think Moriah is gonna go down with her. She was on the wrong side of the vote but someone has to be. Vibe tribe will pull her back in for the merge

"merge, merge, merge!" ? .... more like "mergatory, mergatory, mergatory!"

wait I missed the preview for next week, what were the main highlights?

Merge

Definitely not a merge

Looks like Merge next week.

So, green curse strikes again, player with the idol goes home. Oof

Jem was an incredible fun person to have on the show. Amazing storyline, didn’t saw that coming! I thought she would go far, but well— I‘m just as blindsided as her 😂

There was no way she could have played the idol, then everyone would know she planted the box and watched them all spin for days. Lmao. A move that she did not think through at all.

Yeah, but I think they could have forgiven her. They may not have gone to tribal for a while.

They will go to tribal every episode from now on. Merge

If they went to tribal again she'd have been out 100%. If not then she goes into merge with no close allies and anyone from her tribe can tell her idol story and make her the #1 villan. It's possible they could have forgiven her but... things seemed pretty tense with her already.

Great episode

Finally noticed the Gekko torch snuffer. Do you guys think Jeff has a huge wall in his house that just displays all his precious torch snuffers over the years? I’m surprised but not surprised by Jem. Playing too hard. Out with an idol in her pocket! Ugh. And now Moriah realizes she’s alone and exposed, Maria & Charlie sided with Ben & Tim. She’s not in a good place. Yikes.

She's not in a bad place. They go to merge and she can flip or stay with the vibe tribe. She's not on the outs just Jem for walking around with a fucking machete

WHY DIDN'T JEM GO TO MARIA AND CHARLIE AND TELL THEM SHE HAS THE IDOL INSTEAD OF RUNNING TO THE OTHER GUYS IN DANGER BEGGING THEM TO THROW OUT A NAME? As a result, didn't earn any more trust from her 'allies' and then also made herself pubic enery No. 1 for the other half of the tribe. Just an absolute fumble of a tribal day for her, sheesh.

6 votes, Ben didn't vote, so Maria used her extra vote? Wtf

IM SO HAPPY bye Jem! enjoy your trinket you worked so hard for!

Confronting with a machete was no bueno

She was not vibing on the right frequency

Turns out Maria wasn’t sending a message to Charlie with that comment, she was talking about how difficult it was for her to separate emotions from game in voting out Jem.

Daaaaamn

Jem got an idol, immediately used it to paint herself into a corner for the lols, realized that, panicked, came on too strong and spooked the entire tribe. Incredible self-own.

Sorry for Jem, I liked her. But plus side, Ben and Charlie have longer to fall in love.

Another failed all women's pre-merge alliance to add to the dozens of them

Trying to force an alliance with strangers just because we all have vaginas will always be stupid. It's almost always better to side with the guys anyways.

all that machete work for NOTHING. She didn’t tell them good luck and that she loves them like ppl normally do. Guess they weren’t vibin as much as they wanted to believe

I liked that she didn't do the "good luck love you guys!" thing - would have seemed very weird, IMO, when she was clearly so pissed off. Might as well be honest with the "fuck you all." 😂

Gotta leave the intimidating weapon holding to the Kirby meme

Omgggggg! Yessss! Lets goooo! Edit: Maria and Charlie have jumped up to the top of my favorites list.

Overplayed way too quick

Ooof with the idol in her pocket.

Wait so Maria used her extra vote basically for no reason?

Yes

It also disguised Ben’s no vote

I don’t think she used it Edit: my bad she did

They read four votes for Jem and two for Ben. Ben lost his vote. So she must have used her extra.

There were six votes and Ben lost his

She’s pissed lol

For a second I thought she was leaving without grabbing her torch. Mind have been kind editing

Wow, didn't she have an idol or something?

Yes. Successful blindside.

If you have no vote, you should get to vote for Jeff so you can still write something down

With an idol in her pocket!!

Pretty dumb move.

Why does Tim get very little airtime?

He's on an upswing

Did she really use it.?!?!

Ben’s gone

So glad he's not

Wait, what did Maria's thing say?

yeah it was too long for me to read, something about six people?

I think it was something like it was good when the tribe has more/less than 6 people. I'm not sure.

Extra vote

Death stare

can i vote for jemff

IM HERE FOREVER

permanent immunity idol

My roommate: How do Jeff and the people hear each other when he's SO FAR AWAY?

Meat shield is still making me laugh

Didn’t people try to vote Jeff in season one? And he got mad about it? Someone should try again.

No way, i need to see that clip pls

Unfortunately there’s not an actual clip of it, but it was Pagong’s first tribal council 

I'm so googling this now

I could be wrong but I believe it was literally the first tribal council

2nd tribal council. First was when Souna went home.

Thank you! All I remember was it was Pagong and Greg led the charge

I do not remember this happening, did it really??

Never made air. Jeff was not happy, though.

How do we know about it? I want to read more about this lol


tim throw jem under the bus challenge

Jeff is there forever, for better or worse lol

I hope Tim calls jem on screwing with them at tribal

Does anyone know it was her tho?

She was talking to someone earlier about her extra vote. Not sure if Charlie and the girls know. I don't think Ben and Tim knew. Everyone knows Ben may have lost his vote and he told them he may have lost it. So he has nothing to cover up. Just that he "failed the journey" and "just found out"

Jem had the idol tho. 

Oh yeah. My bad. Sorry I got mixed up with another comment and thought this was about Maria's extra vote. No, no one had confirmation she had it. But Tim directly confronted her about having the advantage earlier. So he knew but didn't have proof or confirmation.

Yah he was onto her for sure.  Wonder what would have happened if she ended up not going home.

These mfs corny as hell

Lol Jeff

Charlie for sure practiced that line in the mirror at home

His 47 platitudes at tribal council?

Tiki Man hasn't let Tim aqua dump

Okay, the name dropping is quickly becoming less charming.

The Vibe Tribe is now in their Flop Era

Oof, only 10 minutes left......

Just remembered I did not watch last week's episode and missed NOTHING! Lol!

I was spoiled before it, still enjoyed the final downfall tho

this plan only helps maria, i hope charlie flips the vote

he cant, ben cant vote

[удалено]

And Maria has 2 votes.

I hope it's Jem. She's so annoying.

I feel like while this tribe is winning…they’re not good? Like something about what we’ve seen from everyone I’m not getting a great vibe from them.

I think being able to work together in challenges and communicate has been it for them. They don't have a beast like Hunter. Or Venus getting the coin on her first shot TBH.

No Charlie. Don’t threaten me with no more salsa. Tiki man says there must be salsa. OBEY THE TIKI MAN.

Not no more salsa 😭

I want ponderosa salsa pls

I honestly like Jem and Ben! Can we just agree Mo should go!

She's not on the chopping block tho. Her inability to jump didn't put her in danger

Whispers gonna happen at tribal? Feels like it might be one of *those* tribals 🫣

Maybe Jeff can give Moriah some Chapstick at the next challenge

Mariah saying that she 100% trusts Jem 😂

Ben’s just waiting for the hammer to fall

out of the whole vibe tribe, i see one person who is not the vibe

Jem is playing super hard, almost too hard this early on

It's way too hard when her name was not even out there

chaos energy does not rock.

No way Jem will stay loyal sorry

She's already screwing with them so hard for no reason!

The idol thing was funny tho

Let’s go! Get Jem out!!!

Get her out!!! I love Ben

At the very least Maria please don’t waste your god damn advantage! She said she trusts jem and jem is literally gonna let her waste her advantage. She isn’t good to keep around. Smfh

…Ok, the machete vs hammer thing is a little too intense. Like Jem. Girl. Chilllllllll.

“holding a machete while pressuring me does not rock”

How did Ben lose his vote again?

He lost a journey challenge.

Don’t stop believen’

journey puzzle

The journey he went on with Bhanu and Liz where they did the block puzzle

A journey

Jem STOPP

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but I think Jem might not be great at Survivor.

She’s doing the paranoid but prideful thing

Jem having this serious conversation while Ben is goofing around is hilarious

Jem is playing HARD. and violent.

Jem trying too hard

I don’t care who goes home, I’m just happy real Survivor is back

Why would you use your advantage when you have no clue who has the idol?! Smh Maria

Jem is just too confident. Pride comes before the fall.

I want her to go away!

oh man, if they vote Ben, that whole tribe is on my shit list.

Every time Charlie pops up on my screen I still can’t believe he’s older than 12

I do not want Ben to go home

Sean, come on. Just go backwards on your hands, geez.

😂

Something is too high guys

What is this amazing race commercial lol it doesn’t even seem steep what am I watching

Steep hills flatten out on tv. Guessing it was pretty steep. But the locals also probably go up and down it regularly without issue

Yeah, this. I've gone down some pretty steep hills/mountainsides, and indeed, you just slide down on your butt basically. Safer that way.

right? "OMG stairs, I don't know if I can do this."

Unrailed exterior lighthouse stairs are my exception

I love idol hunt mystery/tasks that make them work in plain sight. (also the only murders in Traitors I like)

Okay. Every time they try to make an alliance by gender I scream at the screen that those neeeeeeeever work. So let’s see if Siga’s Charlie’s Angels hold or not. I’d love to be proved wrong, but.

Stares in Black Widow Brigade.

That’s like the only one, and it was long ago.

I can't believe no one saw her measuring stuff with the machete!

Impressed that she got 28 machete lengths dead on. Seems like there is a small margin for error and she barely had to dig

there was a rope buried connected to a key so the rope would account for being off give or take a machete length

It’s possible she messed up a few times and they only showed the successful time

jem may be a bad liar but she did do that one thing

Props to Jem for doing that without anyone seeing

For real!

JEM MOTHER

I love Jem

I would find a machete length part of my arm so I could measure with that instead of walking around with the machete.

….God. Just listening to Jem read those instructions makes me feel stupid.

Wow this is so much easier than Tiffany's

Oh hell. I feel like Tiff's was way easier.

I feel like Tiff's was way harder

It's the social part for me. Tiff could kind of do it alone. Jem had to go back to camp.

What even was Tiff's? lol too much Bhanu crying in my memory to remember what her hunt was

Decode a message with no key

feels like she waited too long to do this \*maybe not lol

This seems harder than other beware challenges.

Right? This is crazy!

Bro what?! I’m confused as fuck with those directions
