Survivor

I think what we're going to see more and more of with the No Collar tribe is that they're not as easy going as they thought. Really what they are are people that generally do whatever sounds good/feels good at the time...and if you don't agree, then "no problem, bro...catch ya later!" Which doesn't work when you are forced to work together...you can't bail, so you have to come to agreements. And they're sooooo used to getting their way/doing whatever they feel like all the time, that they're babies when they don't get their way. The more group decisions they have to make, the quicker they'll come apart.

Blue collars needed a boss, but as soon as one stepped forward, they resented him. Sounds about right.

White collars make me cringe because it reminds me so much of everything I hate about my job. So many people whose only real skill in life is that they can bs and delegate. Their temperament probably suits Survivor the best as far as decision-making, but they have no skills to lean on. They're not physically impressive, they couldn't do a puzzle, and they overvalue their own worth.

I actually really like the social experiment aspect of this season...it's fun seeing all the faults of each group amplified.

The funny thing is that if the show didn't put any labels on them then it most likely wouldn't have worked out this way. Each tribe seems to be embracing their label and playing it up.

Great opener. Probst did write that he honestly feels this is the best season filmed in quite some time. He is usually pretty straightforward on his opinions, so lets hope the season keeps going strong!

I wanted Coconuts gone as much as the next person, but he was the only one that played that tribal correctly. The other 5 people on that tribe are EPIC fucking morons that stumbled into a surprisingly good outcome.

First, I cannot fucking believe Joe and the girl would split the vote when it is essentially 3v3. Did they fail 3rd grade math? How the fuck do you trust Will, when he hangs out with Nina all day?!

Second, Nina... Nina... Nina... oh... my... god. After establishing their core three, she goes off and tells Will that Coconuts has concerns about him, his health, and his performance in the challenges?! Are you fucking kidding me? They worked for a week to establish that trust and she blows it up 30 minutes before tribal, to her own detriment, because she is next gone now.

Third, is Will. He chose to be 4th in his tribe behind Joe and the girls, when he could have been 2nd and guaranteed to make the merge.

So Coconuts was the only one thinking straight in the entire fucking tribe and he is the one sent home, LOL.

Yeah, what terrible gameplay all around except for Vince. The 3 will definitely make the merge now, but they'll probably get outplayed from there out.

I wanted Coconuts to stay in the game so that we could see how deep that rabbit hole of crazy went. Unfortunately, Nina was a complete moron and messed it up.

I think it gets pointed out just about every season now, but people just getwaytoo concerned about idolswaytoo early in the game. Someone who gets an idol in the first few days is not going to want to play it so early if they can help it. It's one of the most powerful things in the game, so you hang onto it as long as you possibly can. You don't need to split the vote this early in the game. You just have to convince the person that you're targeting someone else and then blindside him.

He sort of signed his own death warrant by encouraging Nina to talk with Will ("Please do."). I just don't think he figured she'd present so badly or it as being entirely his concern.

And I'm not sure I agree that Vince was the only one thinking clearly. Joe and the girls' goal was to take out Nina, someone they viewed as being the weakest in challenges. They might've gone about it the dumbest way possible, but at least their goal seemed to be centered around keeping the tribe strong in challenges. Vince and Nina seemed a lot more concerned with taking out someone they didn't like. At least Vince was able to look past his love affair with Joe to put off getting rid of him, but keeping Nina and Will around isn't likely to get you anywhere as far as numbers are concerned.

I also enjoy Nina displaying what an unlikeable person she probably is, while also being an idiot..

"My disability doesn't define me! I'm such a strong person!"

"They hate me because I'm deaf!!"

They get concerned with idols, but worse, they get concerned with the merge too much. It's happened every season I think since Russell Hantz's season, where they start voting out strong players right off the bat. It never works, and the tribe that stays strong inevitably makes the merge with numbers.

Yeah, Vince is like "This is our only chance to blindside Joe!" It's the 5th freaking day and your very first vote.

"No one is including me or talking to me because I'm deaf!"

"Why don't you talk to them?"

"Because I won't be able to hear them and will have to ask them to repeat themselves!"

I swear, if she makes it to the end, she has this in the bag.

When she went on her crying rant I just sat there with the O_O face the whole time.

She'll never make it, and if she does I'm going to masturbate to pictures of her out of spite

He was so weird, and I feel like he could've really held up the show as a true entertaining personality. Couldn't help but laugh when he came back in a puff and was like "Listen man, I just want some validation when I do something alright?"

Reminded me of a kid getting a good grade on a paper but needed someone to pat him on the back and say "good job"

I was sooooo looking forward to how creepy he would've been with Jen, once Joe was out of the picture. And if he had made the merge with the dude from New York? Oh, man! Fucking deaf people..

Damn, Im sad Coconuts got booted, only because he was a bit fucking out there. Oh well, thats what he gets for tryign to flex so early in the game. lol People just cant help themselves and just STFU.

I wanted Vince to stay so bad because he was so fucking weird and was willing to act upon his weirdness. It's a fucking shame Nina fucked him over though the black dude is equally as dumb. Will went from making it to the merge to being one of the two out next.

Can you imagine Vince interacting with the white collar tribe? Such wasted potential there! I wouldn't be mad if they made up some lame gimmick to bring him back. The guy was gold!

Take a ride on this Coconut Caravan bitches!
