Survivor 48--Who's Watching?

She is holding up a big neon sign telling them all they are next on the chopping block

Yeah I was okay with Eva for quite a while but I don't think she's choosing to take in the experience in a positive way. Her explanation of autism I think is going to end up making people feeling like they aren't able to be as "survivor player" as they normally would be. What I mean by that is pretty much in all past seasons if you had a player who was acting like she has been acting in the last few episodes they would be talked negatively about and more than likely be seen as someone that needs to go NOW. And you know that would be very appropriate given the gameplay environment that Survivor is.

Her explanation of having less social cues is understandable given her diagnosis but that doesn't mean that we can't recognize the behavior as offputting to be that cocky and I'm not really liking how people are shielding her. Meanwhile Mitch has his own disability, no it's not being talked about negatively but his gameplay sure is. I don't particularly like how the two disabilities are being treated vastly different by the gameplayers especially because IMO Mitch is just playing the field in terms of alliances but Eva is using her alliance as a means to almost come across as a bully. If you are on Survivor it means you made the decision to be out there.

So far this season Star was this player that just lurked and lurked and lurked and this bam now she became the forefront. I do think it was an easier vote to get her out but I'm not sure she fought as hard as she could have, more or less just resigned to if it was her time it was her time. I don't really think she would have won regardless unless in the end she had actually put more into building alliances with more people so they knew more about her.

I agree with people mentioning Shauhin, at least with the edit, seems like he's putting much more effort into his alliance with Kamilla than Kamilla is with him. And Kamilla does come off like she'd vote Shauhin out without much debate if she was in a position where she needed to but Shauhin I think would hesitate much more. I'm interested to see if they can make it pretty far with the alliance more underground though I question that people are really that oblivious to there being more than just civility between them.

Feel again they made the wrong move Star was not a threat.

Exactly. Another missed opportunity to make a big move. I was really hoping Mitch was going to go along with Star and Mary's plan to blindside Joe or Eva, after Joe won immunity.

Me, too. Perfect time to blindside Eva (and it would have to be a blindside--she has too much power, if she got a whiff of the mutiny). And Star was never going to win the million.

Yes, but I am pretty sure the OP was asking who ELSE is watching, as in people who are also watching the show and want to comment. I get that anyone can post, but if you read through any page you will see people who watch commenting on game play. I don't watch NASCAR so don't go on the NASCAR thread to tell others I don't, and never will watch NASCAR. To each their own, though.

There was a lot of cursing and yelling at the TV. What the hell?

 

[lovin'fl]

Dumb. Worst season ever. Won't watch anymore.

Eva gets every advantage and food reward and is never considered for eviction. Something is starting to feel fake. Makes zero sense. They all have these great stories on needing the money for their family and then just sit back and take the loyal route. Of course, EVA, you talk about team strong stuff and staying with that...because that team is going to put you and Joe at the final. Like why are they just helping those 2 win this? Makes zero game sense. And I hate it. I even thought Joe blew it with his panic about Mary writing his name. When he wanted to split votes and was basically pointing to his peeps as that other name to put. Hello, dummies, none of you all really matter....it's just Joe and Eva for the W in their minds.

Eva complaining about Mary and the coconuts. Eva has won or been included in all or most rewards.

 

[Magical2017]

Yeah, I actually hope they all lose and Joe takes it. I was cheering for Joe from the beginning, but if the others are not going to play the game, they don't deserve to win. How on earth could you not take one of those two out? If you hear one person who is a duo state that they would use their advantage or an idol to help Joe, then take one of them out.

David standing up and flexing with that glare was the only entertaining part of tribal. How does one even stay angry for this long, lol?

I was surprised Kamilla did not take Mary on the reward. Poor Mary ate the coconuts because she was not able to gorge on food like some of the others.

I thought Kamilla taking Eva instead of Mary was a smart move in keeping Eva comfortable.

Are we not going to mention David's silent hulking standing? Star was trying hard to keep it together.

You are right, it did seem like a good move. Then she voted Mary off. So dumb. And yes, David, OMG! That is a new level of creepy.

 

[LKing]

Does anyone watch Gordon Holmes exit interviews? He asks each player do a word association of their tribemates and say the first thing that pops in their mind. It is interesting to see what the members of the jury say about the remaining players. They can't say or reveal any spoilers, but when you look at the word associations for each player, it kind of shows how much the jury knew about how others were playing the game.

I really don't understand what message David was trying to convey.

By not voting Joe off when they had the chance, they just about guaranteed that he will make it to the end.

David was rooting for Mary…

 

[Lsdolphin]

Nobody has mentioned it but I thought when Mary came out in front of everyone and said she was voting for Joe that might have caused Eva to use her idol to protect him and that they might have gone after Eva instead. I’m still not sure why they voted Star out as she didn’t seem to be real threat to anyone and would have been a good player to take to final. I can’t remember if Eva has 1 or 2 idols.
