Nice blindside tonight. I really didn't see Sierra going that way. Right down to the final vote I was sure it was going to be Joe. I really didn't think she would go with strategy over feels but maybe Mike and Joe won her over. It may have been Probst that changed her mind as well. I don't really like it when Jeff influences the vote but sometimes things are just too dumb for him not to comment on.
Watching Mike throw the challenge to Kelly was painful. Pretty fucking sad that she couldn't remember 6 items with two tries to do it and Mike giving her hints the second time. Maybe getting hit on the head by that elevator thing did more damage than they thought. With the merge next week though, I actually support Mike's decision to do that and I'm not sure if I've ever thought throwing a challenge was a good idea before.
Post merge it is looking like the blue collars minus Rodney vs. Caroline and the no-collars. I am really liking Mike now. I think his voice is actually an asset for him because it makes him sound like a total fucking moron but he really isn't. If Dan would have listened to him and made a real apology instead of making excuses they might have gotten Sierra back sooner.
Please vote off Rodney soon. Listening to that guy talk hurts my brain.

no way! i love rodney, he's the best part of the show. they're all like poking the dumb gorilla in the ass and seeing what it'll do, it's great! Also having lived in jersey for a year, i'm used to retards like him, so i guess i've built up a tolerance.
Kelly's a cop, so that's how good her memory is

Yeah, that was pathetic. Mike was handing it to her and she still couldn't get it.
Anyway, I enjoyed tonight's episode. Was a good blindside and now Rodney will be super butthurt next week. Should make for some entertainment. Final merge next week is good too.

It was great to see Rodney lose his boyfriend last night. I thought for sure Joe was going but I guess Sierra hates Rodney more. I hope Rodney goes apeshit next week!
Mike got what he wanted but I still think it's very bad gameplay to throw an immunity challenge. Just way too much shit can backfire and it likely does. He got lucky, imho. Rodney will eventually end up blowing up his own game because he's a fucking tool and a meathead. I think Joaquin would have put a knife in his back at a moment's notice too.
It seems really early that they are merging already. I was very confused when I saw that. They just combined to two teams just last week! Joe is going to make it far now I feel. He's just so good at comps and not just the physical ones. People seem to like him too. He only got singled out this week because he was the only no collar in that tribe.

i'm pretty sure they merged early cuz they saw how crazy unbalanced the blue team would dominate the red team, that both the reward and the immunity challenge was non physical shit (everyone is basically on a level playing field with the reward challenge, just launch shit really, theres skill in that?).
from what i've seen, they usually merge at 12(contestants left) when it's a shitty season, and they are unsure of the contestants, this one, SJDR, FVF, one world, ozzy/coach, rob won, s21 were merged at 12, the rest were at 11, and HvV at 10.
pretty much would indicate that how the producers feel the season is going to go, is by when they want to merge, and for all intents and purposes, it's correct, they held back the HvV merge and got that awesome double idol, jt pass me note.
while one world, ozzy/coach, FvF, all those sucked.
and SJDS (even tho it was merge at 12) would have sucked if natalie didn't step up and dominate those retards. (but it seemed she could only really make her moves after merge anyway)

If the challenges are all pre-prepared though, how do you transition from team challenges to individual ones a week early?

A lot of the early reward challenges post merge are group challenges where they draw rocks or do a school yard pick. I imagine they can repurpose a couple of the immunity challenges to a reward challenge. They have been doing the show a long time, I think they have plenty of tricks.

They also have different island spots, i.e., easy challenge is being setup west side, hard challenge being setup north side, etc at the same time. And those are big challenges, this weeks immunity challenge probably took 2 hours to setup and requires next to zero space (as opposed to the water challenges that needs 20man crews and helicopters and shit).

Probably thinks he's the second coming of Boston Rob lol. Was lmao at him trying to figure out wtf just happened.
I don't like how fast they transitioned from 3 to 2 tribes to merge, could have just voted out a couple more people and skipped the 3 to 2 tribes merging, but then again it would have eliminated the extra layer of gameplay we saw this week with meathead dickhead and priest, plus them throwing the challenge which worked out for mike trying to save kelly and their alliance. Love seeing the thrown challenges never working out in the end.
As for changing challenges according to the situation, wasn't it mentioned somewhere that there was an agreement that they're not allowed to change challenges after the season starts to cater to the players or they could get sued for screwing with the competition or something?
