Suck It Up Buttercup - Rival alliances go head to head over a powerful player, and one castaway must decide if they are daring enough to take on a risky task after visiting the Island of the Idols.
Enjoy the show!

Aaron isn't my favorite kind of guy, but I will say it didn't hurt my eyes to watch him be physical in that reward challenge.

Elaine just called herself a "busted can of biscuits." She's a nut.

I can't believe Vokai lost that. The stupid ball bounced out what - three times?

Ugh, Aaron is flipping to vote w/the other side and is going to ruin Elaine's Block-a-Vote plan. He's looking too shady, if he wants to get to the end, I believe. At least he didn't tell them about her advantage.

Haaahahaha. Bye, Jason! I was worried about Elaine for a minute there. I was, too!! I was swearing about Aaron the whole time, calling him terrible names for flipping. The reaction of the other side was odd, though. They were willing to go out by picking rocks, and that would've been okay. But someone gets an advantage and one of them goes out and it's the end of the world. I understand that Aaron lying was disappointing to them, but Lauren was crying about it even before the vote. They seemed so devastated. But picking rocks wouldn't be horrible?? I thought Elaine played her hand too early though, and it made me nervous. But, I guess it did add to the drama of tribal to watch them crumble, and scramble. Rob and Sandra up in their booth is pretty funny! I still wish they'd give more advice about the current game going on and how to strategize, but at least this time there was a good payoff for Elaine. When she dropped her advantage and couldn't get it in her pants, I really thought she'd lose it! Or get spotted by her tribemates. yikes. I love this show. It's so well done, well edited and the hour goes by so fast.

Yeah as really Aaron better not at all get too overconfident. He is getting really overconfident and cocky there
But really love Elaine. She is a fan favorite.
Jason thought he was confident and felt he would be spared but no never get overconfident

Wow, Jamal, anything negative I've said about this man, just dissipated when he had his talk with Jack. They certainly shared a great moment. Then their team goes on to win immunity. I thought TC was one of the best, and both us were cussing out Aaron, because we both just love Elaine, as Sandra said, she's balls to the wall Lauren was in tears, Tommy was so nervous, and although Jason was voted out, it was a classy exit( he also said,don't trust Aaron) lol I think Rob and Sandra really enjoyed this TC, as much as we did. I'dlove Elaine to win it all, or Jamal, or, or or... So many I really like this season, Missy has her eyes and ears open, she could win. I really do love Survivor. This season happens to very good,jmho.

Loved the show tonight! Loved the drama of Elaine getting the advantage. I thought for sure someone would either see her, or it would be totally gone when she dropped it. To think she got that advantage because she didn't get to play in the reward challenge, man that was unlucky for the other side! I loved Elizabeth coming up to Elaine and talking about their experiences at IotI. How nice for Elaine that she could have Elizabeth's support. Perfect timing in a tribal where the stakes were so high. I think if Elaine hadn't had that advantage then she would have been the one going home. I love Rob and Sandra watching tribal council from their perch and I like to hear their comments. I just thought of the two old men Muppets in their balcony! Jason's right, it was sort of a compliment that they picked him to go. They thought he was too smart.

Man! What a great episode! First, we have Elaine and her 'busted can of biscuits', she is always so much fun to watch. Then, wow!!! Jamal and Jack's conversation. This is exactly why having diversity on these shows is so important.
Then we have a nail bitter of a tribal council. So happy Aaron didn't flip!
Wow! That was such hot stuff. Great job Survivor!

I don't think "durag" is how it's spelled. At least, I always thought it was "do-rag" as in a rag to protect your hairdo. And I never considered wife-beater t-shirts to be a racist thing. The first time I ever heard a t-shirt called that was when someone on a forum referenced "A Streetcar Named Desire". I think people read way too much into things sometimes. Jack obviously didn't say what he did to deliberate put down Jamal or make a statement about his race.
At least this week Karishma didn't do anything to stand out in a bad way. She wasn't the reason her tribe lost the reward challenge and they actually won the immunity challenge! I still want her out, though.

I learned something listening to Jack and Jamal's conversation. I had NO idea that "durag" was offensive. I just thought it was something worn on the head. When Jack said it, I was thinking "what is Jamal talking about...I've heard that term a million times". But listening to Jamal's explanation made sense. An example of how these shows can not only entertain...but educate as well.

It’s used to create a wave in the hair while sleeping, & then afterwards sleeping with one protect the hair while sleeping from getting frizzy. Not sure why Jamal is getting all triggered about it. And as far as wife-beaters go, growing up in an Italian family, they were always called Guinea tee’s. And FYI, Guinea is considered a slur if used by anyone not Italian. So Jamal, wife-beater isn’t racially insensitive, anyone can wear one (or be one, for that matter), but not everyone can call it a Guinea tee. So chew on that & quit being a victim.

This was by far the best episode of this season! We have Dean 0-3 with voting Karishma and she still survives. I thought it was smart of Dean to tell Jamal that Noura wanted him or Jack to go, because at this point Dean has nothing to lose, he's been on the bottom for a while now, and in Jamal and Jack's defense they aren't going to just sit back and let Noura vote them out. Dean might be ok should that tribe go back to tribal council. I was nervous that having Reward/IOI and Immunity all in one episode would be too much but they edited it really well, we didn't get too much of IOI, it was just enough. I never thought the person to sit out of the reward challenge would go to IOI that shocked me but I'm so glad it was Elaine, I have been wanting her to go there for a while now. Even though she accepted the challenge quickly like Noura, the difference this time was that she got the advantage so it all worked out, and man she really needed that advantage too. Vokai losing immunity was perfect, as viewers i think a lot of us were really curious to see what would happen with the 4-4 split.
But NEVER did I think Jason would be the one voted out. Wow just wow, like this guy really came a long way from Episode 1 and i thought he was a shoe in to make the Final 6. I think Tommy having a relationship with Aaron, and Lauren having somewhat of a relationship with Missy is what saved Tommy and Lauren at tribal. And Jason was seen as the bigger threat between him and Dan. Without the vote block though, I still don't think they would have gone to rocks, I think Elaine would have gone here which would have sucked. As far as the incident with Jamal and Jack, I am very glad they aired that, and they didn't rush this scene, they gave it the attention it deserved. I have seen some fans get angry at Jamal and say he overreacted here. (He didn't) It offended him. But I'm an African American male so I think its just easier for me to relate to him and understand where he is coming from.
I can guarantee you that Jack would have never referred to Dean's buff as a Du rag. You have to be really careful about what you say to people It's a buff not a Du rag so just call it a buff. Treat everyone the same regardless of what their race/background is. I do however really appreciate the fact that Jack OWNED up to it and he instantly apologized and you could tell he was really sincere too. But the maturity on both Jamal and Jack's part is what I admired the most. They need each other out there to let this ruin their game isn't worth it and I think they will be just fine.
I am so ready for the merge. It's going to be a BLOOD BATH! And November 13th we have a 2 hour episode so I'm thinking thats when it will happen.

Us at home know that Elaine picked wrong. None of the Vokai like Jason, she needed to knock out a central pillar like Lauren or Tommy.

Wow I just listened to Jason's exit interview. It turns out he dated Noura's cousin, no wonder those two bonded.
In addition he also revealed that Noura made a fake idol after she got back from IOI and that Jason played it at tribal council, but it wasnt shown.
AND going in to that tribal council the four original Vokai players were actually going to vote for Aaron to go home, but when Elaine played the block the vote advantage, they decided last minute to vote for Elaine.
This is why we need 90 min episodes there is so much we don't get to see.

All those "FAKE" speeches after Elaine announced the "block a vote" advantage was a bit too much. I think that alliance thought it had Aaron in its pocket and was trying to show shock so Elaine would not realize she was the target of a blindside. Watch it again, it was "ACTING".

I might, just maybe might have warmed up a bit to Jamal after this, but not by much. Still, he's so much better than Aaron, I honestly can't stand the guy, he reminds me too much of Mariano, and needless to say, I despise Mariano.
I especially got annoyed over the "Suck it up, buttercup". Like he never got mad whenever he got played? Honestly, I never could stand Mariano's smug, self-important attitude, especially because it took his overrated butt four times playing the game to finally get a win, and we all know that that fourth time was only because they stacked the game for him to win by giving him challenges he was good at and almost every other contestants being starstruck idiots who just took a backseat and let him win.
I'm glad the other tribe finally won an immunity challenge, and it makes me wonder if they can pull it off again. i kinda hope so, as I rather like a bunch of the people on that side. I'm especially interested in Kellee, though, because whatever next TC she goes to will be the last one she can use her hidden immunity idol, so it makes me wonder how or even if she'll use it.

Do you mean guido? Guinea Tee is (a) the correct term, as an Italian I found it worse than Dego or Guido. Frankly in the whole du-rag convo I was offended more by the term wife-beater overall. Given the way it was being worn, du-rag was appropriate, it is a piece of fashion (fashion history even). I also think in the way it was said there was no racial offense meant. In fact so many people of color are wearing their du-rags with pride of late, they have become quite stylish and transcended their initial intended use. Rihanna has worn some incredibly stylish ones IMO. If Jamal took some offense to the term, I do not begrudge that.. truly.. I just do not think it was meant to be insensitive or offensive. And yes, Durag or du-rag is the correct way to spell it, lol.

I so wish they wouldnt drag out the chickens and then have us watch a bunch of amateurs kill them! Its so useless--nobody is starving as used to be in the old days of Survivor, so there is no need for this! Unless of course that is faked too as we didnt see them being killed. It could be a whole scene they play out.

It could be a whole scene they play out. They do it because it requires the tribe to make a choice. I have always believed the right strategic decision was to eat the chickens fairly soon rather than wait for eggs since mergers and tribal switches happen so frequently - not a competitive move to let a different group of people benefit from your chickens. If there hadn't been so much going on in this episode probably we would have seen some back and forth because there are always tribe members who disagree. For those of us at home, I would prefer that production found other ways to make the tribe members tangle with each other.

Chickens are a relic from when the show was about 16 strangers making a society. In the modern game, you could be separated from your chickens at any time without warning, so there’s a big risk and little reward for keeping them around. Plus, a hen lays at most one egg per day, and a rooster lays zero.
