Board 8 > Survivor: David vs. Goliath Discussion Topic 2: Gerrymandering? In MY Survivor?

(+) Yeah! (+)

give me a break
---

Bahahaha
---

Oh God she wore it in her good bye confessional. That's hilarious
---

The whole jacket sequence was iconic
---

This was probably the weakest episode so far but it was still good. I loved episodes 1-4 and simply liked this one.

Even though I enjoyed Natalie I'm okay with her going here because she was clearly just going to continue to grate on everyone else and potentially bring others down, and she had a fantastic TC and exit.
---

With everything that's happened so far I think I get why Jeff wasn't so high on the season. Five episodes in and we've already had a medievac, a quit and an evacuation due to a storm. It's not like Jeff hasn't hated seasons for production reasons before. He hates Marquesas because of the no-nos were horrible to put up with. I mean, it could still be something else, but I can see why someone wouldn't be high on this season from a production standpoint.
---

catching up, wow another evacuation

the last part of the immunity challenge was very well designed, challenging with a balance part that gets narrower as you go back as it raises higher
---

and wow orange didnt throw it
---

i love the jacket confessional
---

angelina is very pretty

i think it's natalie
---

"natalie is there any way I can have your jacket?

...natalie?

... natalie?"
---

im smiling so wide at the thought of all this jacket talk
---

angelina voted for lyrsa too

"I dont know if she was part of the reason im out"

perfect timing with angelina's vote

love this season

yeah, well...kaoh rong got basically no hype (especially on the back of cambodia), and it turned out to be an unbelievable season, so i think jeff's pre-game take is worth even less than a grain of salt.
---

i'm really gonna miss natalie, but she had no shot of winning, so it might be better for long-term game prospects that she's out pre-merge, before everyone could be planning on how to drag her to the end
---

hey you're all spoiling that a woman wins this season

This is exactly how I feel
---

So according to Angelina (via Stephen), she was in on the Natalie plan and was just faking sympathy to try and get Natalies jacket. Between this and the getting Jeremy voted out to protect her marriage rumor, Angelina is amazing.
---

That seems dumb because how is Natalie supposed to know if it was Mike or Angelina who voted with her?
---

Hence the faking of sympathy.
---

Calculated risk!

That she lost. Voting for Lyrsa makes Lyrsa a lot more unlikely to work with her later. I thought this even before the preview, but it also makes Mike less willing to trust she'll vote with him too.
---

To whoever marked me, just saying i have no idea who wins and my comment was a joke, so dont worry, youre not spoiled from it
---

Seriously? Someone marked you? God what is this place anymore.
---

Wait, what post did I miss?

GTM made a joke about being spoiled and was marked
---

Looks like San Juan del Sur was released on DVD earlier this month. Blu Ray version and all other sets that have been up for preorder forever and a day are still MIA.
---

no worries, didnt lose any of my precious karma
---

i assume that whoever marked the message wasn't malicious

wasn't me but i did do a brief double take before i caught on to the joke, so i could see someone missing it entirely who isn't as familiar with our digs at probst

bump

Wait, what's this rumor?
I also remember this episode Jeff asking if everyone was ready before the challenge and Angelina being the only one to say "yes!" after an awkward pause. One of the editors tweeted no one had ever actually done that before, so he included it in the episode. Angelina's something else.
---

What, did GTM say Probst doesn't like this season because a woman wins? That's not a spoiler, I don't know who wins. I just don't want to get marked like GTM.

Rumour discussion - may show up later so marking it as a spoiler.

Jeremy is claiming that Angelina and John were in a showmance and he was talking about it openly and in confessionals so Angelina engineered his demise to silence him and keep her husband from finding out about it.

Rob C's take was that she probably is cuddling with John at night and things like that, and Jeremy might be taking that to mean they are showmancing. But stuff like that is normal - some people huddle together to keep warm and maintain strong bonds all the time at night out there. Jeremy might just be seeing survival behaviour and calling it a showmance.

I've gotten a pretty bad impression of Jeremy from interviews as a bit of an egocentric jerk so I don't put much stock into his interpretation of what he saw, or that he's not just being petty.

Natalia refused to comment about it in her interview as it's not her place to talk about other people though, so that kinda makes it a bit more confusing. If there was absolutely nothing going on I kinda think she woulda just been like "Lol no Jeremy is just being a baby. we all cuddle for warmth" or something.
---

Still catching up, on ep 4 now.

Natalia sucks but man is she pretty.
---

All caught up.

I can't tell if John has a real chance at winning this thing or if his edit is just really good because he's a celebrity and a certain % of the audience is tuning in just for him.
---

i mean, there have been plenty of "celebrities" and well-known people whose edits have been less than spectacular, so there's really no reason to think that's the case
---

I'm thinking merge boot unfortunately :-(
---

now listen

his good edit aint no make believe
---

I think Nick is getting the best edit but I'm picking John to win because I'm rooting for him
---

I'll try to watch along today!
---

It's still hilarious a second time. Jacket-gate was amazing.
---

Spring-loaded murder machine

---

So we've already gotten Purple's "scene from next week" out of the way, which makes it all the more likely that Green or Orange go to tribal council tonight.
---

Do they even do the intro anymore?
---

I'm listening to last week's Know It Alls before I watch the new episode.

Shirin is just the worst.
---

At least its not tribal (theyre going to tribal arent they)
---

Yeah im not fond of shirin, she seems unaware, and she also swears more than eliza
---

I like Christian, but I hated that scene. What with the blatant pandering to the theme and whatnot.
---

Gabby needs to chill out.
---

I did like that scene.

I dont think trying to relate to the theme is bad.
