10/4 - Survivor 45 Show Discussion

I don't see Emily lasting long at all. She's insufferable.

Yes! She's horrible!! 
It's awesome how the others hang around her the whole time she's looking for an idol and won't leave her alone. Ha!


Brandon found it, didn't want it, so Sabiyah took it. LOL, she stands on Brandon's back to look up in a tree, and he says "I have scoliosis." What??! 

So all of a sudden Emily grew a heart like the Grinch?

Glad to see someone trying to start fire with their glasses.

Brando is cute. He reminds me of Derek X on Big Brother, so far.

But ew, can't stand Kendra.

Brandon has GOT to go. He's useless, and has proven it over and over again. They have to get rid of him, and try to tolerate Emily a little longer. That was embarrassing!

I get why Emily is, to put it kindly, problematic, but she's a lot less terrible at challenges than Brandon is, and if they keep him instead, they're constantly going to have to keep compensating for having him around, and realistically, if they lose again, they'd be sending him home anyway.

I feel for the guy, it's his big dream to be on Survivor, but he's failing even at the challenges that don't require any athleticism on his part, and he literally fell down trying to move down a beach. I'm klutzy enough that I could probably do that, too, but I'd also never, ever go on Survivor because I know I'd be miserable at it and miserable being there.

My disgust for Emily continues from last week. At the beginning of the episode when the tribe discusses what happened at tribal, when Emily says to Sabiyah, "that I will apologize to you if it will make you feel better" I almost lost it. How clueless are you Emily?

OK, I get Emily works with numbers and in a highly competitive job. I do give she is self aware enough to know she is off putting, but really the girl does not know how to talk to people.

I give Kaleb so much credit for being the one person on the Lululemon tribe to talk to Emily, have the patience and grace to explain to Emily what is going on, how she can better herself in the game.

I also have to give Emily credit for actually listening to what Kaleb said and adjusting her attitude and gameplay. I still would vote her out the first chance I had as Sabiyah said "she would cut my throat without a thought".

I also have to give Emily credit for participating in the challenge and doing well.

Brandon. I just can't bash the guy when he is already so down on himself. However, I have never seen a more helpless, skill less person ever cast on this show. The only advantage that Brandon has over Emily is that he is loyal and that he has really nice hair. 

You know Brandon is probably the only person alive who would trip and fall and get eaten alive by the slow moving zombies on The Walking Dead. The only thing you have to do to get away from those zombies is to walk away and Brandon can't even walk on a beach without falling down.

Why does everyone tell everyone that they have advantages and potential hidden immunity idols?

Drew - really you see yourself as controlling the entire beach and game? mmmm....

With this new 90 minute format we are seeing a lot of stuff going on in the three tribes. I am hoping from the previews that some other tribe gets to enjoy tribal council but it looked as if Lulu was heading there again??? That's the impression I got.

He's also clumsy as hell. He's an accident waiting to happen.

Great episode. Glad they got rid of Emily, itll be boring if yellow just keeps losing and losing, so that the made the best move. And I love good losers so Brandon went out with grace and style!

A few annoying people but more people to root for so I remain excited and can't wait for next week!

I don't know what took so long .I can't stand  Emily, she's a little snark. But Brandon is a huge liability to the team,. I'm glad they voted him out, but I'm glad he said he had fun.

The journey.

Bruce did not spill his guts to Drew translates to Bruce does not want to work with me.

Brandon spills his guts and all the team tea to Bruce, oh I can work with this guy.

Did Drew spill his guts about his team? They didn't show it.

I don't understand the need to spill all the gossip about my current team. Is someone else knowing what my team dynamics really good for my game?

Is it just me or does anyone else think an hour and a half is too long? I use to think an hour was too short but at least it was jam packed ...now I feel like we get a lot of fluff and I'm just waiting around for the challenge or tribal council

I guess that's part of the issue for me, NORMALLY I watch everything pre-recorded but my daughter wanted to watch it with us this season and since it's a school night we have to watch it live.

I feel like it takes me forever to figure who is who and now I have a better sense of more of the players. I think the extra time helps. But I watch next day while doing stuff, not sit down in real time.
