Survivor

Hell, anyone not on the blue collar tribe that voted with them are 100% certified dumbasses. How can you let the blue collars have the much control of the game post merge? I couldn't believe Will and those two dumbass white collar idiots that voted with them. Voting Kelly is somehwat dumb too but at least it was a blue collar and it did get rid of the secret power couple.

Kudos to Jenn for snuffing it out.

Edit: The idiots didn't even spell Murica right.

Finally in a long time an idol gets played at the right time, not a game changer since it's clear everyone shifted to blue side including Will who has gained some trust from Mike on that vote.

Voting Kelly off wasn't the best move, but given that she was the only blue collar they knew after the first merge, it was basically a safe vote.

Disappointed in the episode overall, 5/10. Best part was Dan getting stung by a jellyfish and how fast Shirin offered to piss on him, so weird. Also, I thought the team name was a april fools joke.

Feels like the season is going crazy fast with two merges already, and the quality of gameplay seems low.

The no-collars barely helped their numbers situation(despite finally being a good use of the idol), but they may still be able to fracture the blues, especially with Rodney being so volatile. As long as they can keep the seeds of discontent sown long enough to whittle them away before they realize they're being whittled down.

Dear god, that tribe name... I don't think Mike realizes that when people use "Merica" is it so mock overly patriotic rednecks like him. More power to him, I guess, for embracing the stereotype, but I can't believe so many people were willing to go along with that. I'm really surprised they never had Jeff comment on the name, because you know he had to have said something about it.

Voting for Kelly was an emotional, "I hate that bitch" type move. Probably what you would expect from the no collar tribe. Jen and Hali really shouldn't be so smug though, since the vote essentially went 8-4 against them and if everyone stays on that track they are very screwed. Personally I wouldn't be afraid to vote with the blue collars. They have hung together so far but they have cracks a mile wide. I think Caroline and Tyler have a shot at getting something going especially once Rodney inevitably goes full retard. I think Dan is content to be a coattail rider at this point and will probably do whatever Mike tells him and who the hell knows what Sierra will do. I really think it comes down to how good a leader Mike is and if he can hold them together but I won't be surprised if he actually jumps ship at some point just to get away from some of the unstable idiots in his alliance. Of course that would have been a lot easier to do if Kelly hadn't gotten voted out.

It will be interesting to see if the No Collars realize that Will voted for Hali. Since they only showed 3 votes for Kelly it's not completely obvious but if anyone on the no collar tribe has a brain in their head they're going to be wondering where that Hali vote came from.

I think the good thing for Jenn and Hali is how each of the original tribes seems to be on shaky ground. You have Will flipping to blue collar - and potentially flipping back considering they played him (look how fast he flipped on Nina and Vince), Rodney is a powder keg waiting to go off, and Shirin seems to have no loyalty to the other white collars. This was the first post-merge vote, so I think everyone is still in the process of figuring out what they want to do. Fortunately, I don't think we're seeing any Boston Rob cult-esque alliances this season, so Jenn lasting another day could buy her a lot more time than just three more days.

And, yeah, the Kelly vote was dumb. Since Jenn was playing her immunity idol, they literally could've gotten rid of anyone, but they chose to think personally rather than strategically. It's like everyone is so eager to get rid of physical threats early on, crippling themselves in the process, but post-merge target the person that hurt your feelings. At least they broke up the Kelly-Mike alliance in the process, which will hopefully weaken his place in the game.

I expected the white collars to think more logically. Based on pure numbers, you're putting yourself on the bottom of the pecking order no matter who you side with. But siding with the no collars only puts you at a 3-4 split, which means you only have to worry about flipping one person when everyone from the blue collar has been voted out. If you go with the blue collar, it's 3-5 which means you need to act much sooner and likely won't be able to wait until all of the white collars are voted out. Plus, siding with the blue collars means they're keeping more physical threats in the game. The white collars only have Joe to worry about.

Season 31 Cast has been leaked...

Crown Mike. This season sucks.

Edit: If Dan was talking to me like that I would have beat his ass. That guy is a mega douche.

The only good thing about Hali getting voted out this week, is that she is first on the jury. We get to see her all dolled-up for long haul and she is really cute.

Dan provided the biggest lol's of the season so far with his epic fucking retardation on that puzzle and Jeff's surprise and delight of yelling he was wrong, haha!

Shirin is definitely the most annoying human on the planet. Even her name is fucking annoying. I had to google it and had 4 fucking letters wrong the first time I tried to spell it.
