My review for this week: www.rickey.org/survivor-worlds-apart-review-keep-it-real-explores-why-lousy-players-thrive/279249/I'd love to kick Dan down a continuous MC Escher staircase. "Yet another fan who can't do basic math." "And yet another asshole who doesn't realize that being on the right side of the numbers doesn't mean he's actually doing well. Like, you do realize that if you get to the end, you're not winning this shit, right?" I mean, he could try and twist it around and say that he got there because of his amazing gameplay, and the jury is just jealous of how well he played. But he has to realize that getting zero votes at the end means you played a shitty game of Survivor. Getting there counts for something, I guess, but you're not a great player if you get there and fail to get anyone to vote for you. By definition, this game is getting people to vote for you after you've voted them out. Dan hasn't finessed a single person in this game. He might as well be flipping them off as they go to get their torch snuffed. For a superfan, it really seems like he's never seen this game before, otherwise he'd know not to be such a massive f***muffin to everyone he's about to put on the jury.

Never thought I'd say this, but Rodney is coming across more likable than Dan.
If this leads to Dan being blindsided I'll be over the moon.

I'm still kind of out of it after hearing the f***ing Wilhelm Scream in this episode.
Editors, please.

Mike sounds like Kermit the Frog, only if Kermit the Frog was going through puberty.

Rodney is a lesser of two evils thing for me. Hate his guts, but at least he isn't Dan.

Alright, I'll give him credit. I'd buy that if someone told me it were real. But now he's gonna f*** it up by showing the worst possible guy.

Despite the fact that we lost Joe, that was an amazing TC.

I think they gave Rodney some likability this episode because he's gone next episode. Mike knows with Joe gone Rodney is his only threat. I think Mike and/or one or both of the white collar duo are going to bore us to the end from this point forward. And with so many goats left it's anybodies guess who could round out that lineup. But I do think Jen and probably even Shireen get a pass next week based on their low threat status. Shireen may just annoy her way out yet or maybe they will realize if Jen somehow makes it to the end she will get the guaranteed outsiders votes and probably whatever alliance sheep gets blindsided's bitter vote. I just don't see anyone of the blue collars not being bitter when their alliance eventually folds and I don't think anyone will be sympathetic with a single one of them. They really are poor jury players. I think the white collar duo lost any chance to make a jury impression by playing TOO subdued. They might make it far but at a cost to any credibility.

Besides walking around with an exposed cooter, what has Shirin done that is so annoying?

I think she's just one of those people with no tact. She doesn't know when to speak and how to speak to people. Nothing nearly as offensive as any of the remaining blue collars have said to each other but an exploitable weakness nonetheless, for getting people to kick her. However, I am not sure if it outweighs the others actually treatments and words to each other come jury time. I think they all are oblivious though to how little tact they have with each other. This is a very self centered group that is in control, like each one of them think they are the most important, bestest, smartest and I am not sure if they get a tough jury they will know how to sell themselves with any semblance of empathy.

I haven't disliked a tribe as much as I dislike the blue collar group... maybe ever. The closest in recent memory that springs to mind is Russell's tribe in Redemption Island.
I think I'm tapping out now that Joe's gone.
