(+) Yeah! (+)

Does Gavin give his immunity to Kelley? Is that what shocks Aubry?

I'm hoping it's a double boot somehow.
---

This is a LOT of time left for obviously not a double boot episode at this point.

Unless it's a second challenge at tribal type double boot and THAT is the big shock.
---

This is a strange strange episode.
---

The last time we went to tribal with such an abnormal amount of time left was the Varner/Zeke incident.
---

Stick to the plan. But more tears
---

Live tribal
---

I hate this
---

Loool aubry
---

XD Julie actively sitting in David's lap.
---

This is hilarious.
---

Lmao what is going on
---

I like it if theres no whispering. Its just scrambling at tribal instead of at camp.

Julie losing her mind
---

I definitely have something to say about this. I'll wait until the episode is over though.
---

Yeah. This is probably the most enjoyable "live tribal" ever. Because it's not people silently whispering to one another (about a plan that stays the same regardless), but rather pissed off people airing their dirty laundry in front of one another.
---

Well when it has to wait for the episode to be over it's never good. Let me just say it's not that bad but the letting things happen at tribal needs to be turned down but I don't think Jeff will let that happen because casuals love this kind of stuff. That's all.
---

And just great that its not cause of a twist
---

Xd at shut up wardog
---

I'm worries this is all smoke and mirrors for Lesu who I am actively rooting form.
---

Oh snap
---

Classy exit
---

The continue balls on Kelley and Lauren to never play their idols is nuts
---

WOW that was amazing. I actually learned out of my seat. And it was fueled by emotions, not strategy. It was super entertaining. Best episode of the season so far.
---

Interesting editing that the devoted all that time to tribal. Im assuming there was a reward, how often is that not aired?
---

At least now there is one less idol in the game.

It STARTED there, but was a result of Julie's emotional meltdown, and Aurora/Julia turning up the bitch factor.

I'm just saying we always pit these two things against each other when in cases like tonight they can go hand in hand
---

Boss factor

But history is written by the winners

Which is when the show is at its best. Like tonight.

Solid ranking for the night.
---

Apparently Stephen and Rob were asked to do TAR but they were both unavailable. Bummer, that would have been way better than Chris and Bret.

Also for some reason in my memory Colin and Christie won TAR5, but after looking things up that is not the case. My 15 year old TAR knowledge is rusty.
---

lmfao

every single week lauren and kelly don't play their idols and i think "they are definitely getting voted out"

and then they don't get voted out

great tribal. that idol play was pretty bad though
---

congrats to peridiam for getting mad shotouts on rhap. you should collaborate with those guys, they are great.

i am a patron of rhap and i dont generally donate to anything on the internet entertainment related. they have a great following and put out great content, as do you
---

i wish the characters this season (or at least kama) were better developed so i could enjoy events like last night's tribal more

but hey, it was still a lot of fun, and i can't really complain about the result

durf

oh snap, Redmond reporting the possible (likely?) theme for S40

its happening
---

HvV2?
---

all winners
---

Uh oh. Does that mean it's over?
---

My cast (pending 38 and 39) (also trying to go heavy on the 2 timers versus 3 and 4 timers)...

Chris
Cochran
Danni
Denise
Earl
Ethan
Fabio
Kim
Mike
Natalie A
Nick
Parvati
Sandra
Sarah
Sophie
Tina
Todd
Tony
Vecepia
Yul

Alternates: Jeremy, Michele

Couple of notes:
-Health pending on Ethan, Fabio and Todd. I THINK they are all good now but not certain on all of them.
-IMO four-timers ought to be reserved for the absolute most popular and iconic castaways. Sandra and Parvati are probably the last ones I'm willing to extend that title to; Tina is a weaker candidate for the title but I'll give it to her especially considering the lack of notable female winners that they'd probably be able to get.

Here is the article:

http://insidesurvivor.com/survivor-season-40-theme-38201

I'll make a list of who I want vs who I think they'll actually get probably tomorrow at work. Also, if this seasons winner is a woman I guarantee she's in.

For sure, that's why I said pending 38/39. Granted I don't think they'd put 39's winner in. Heck, legally I don't think they could.

So I assume it is because they would be telling them they won early but you know what they say about assuming

Well, like I said, there's probably legal stuff that would prevent it. Even if it's not, they know dang well that cast lists for all-star seasons get leaked right away, and that would immediately create a gigantic spoiler for 39.

One more thought I had:

Since I would assume that more than half the cast us getting higher than normal appearance fees, do you think the prize would be bigger?
