I think that was some clever editing and misdirection to make this vote seem closer than it actually was.

Surely Wardog was always being voted out, after what he conjured last tribal. He perhaps played his hand too early and fell on his own sword.

And those zoomed in close ups on extinction island continue, don’t really need Reem taking up the whole screen whilst saying dude :p

With the amount of screen time she’s been given so far, I wonder, perhaps she’s the one to win her way back into the game? I wonder.
Dear god no.

Apparently Boston Rob and SDT have been tapped as “advisers” rather than players for the next season.
Unsure how this will play into the game, or if it will have an effect of the S40 theme.

ok, so Extinction Island is a new twist to the show but what's the point if everyone stays in the show?

No one has and no one will voluntarily leave the game immediately after being evicted.

After being voted out, you should have to pass some mental or physical challenge to stay in.

Hands down the worst season for quite sometime.

Not invested in the show or the people even slightly, scrolling through my twitter feed on my phone throughout most of the show is a sure sign this season sucks.

Don't really care who wins, maybe the dude with the glasses.
If i never see Reem again i'd be very happy.

Yes I’m probably over thinking it. Was just going by the screen time she’s been given so far.

Compared to say someone like Julia who in the early episodes was barely sighted (along with a few others at Kama). And now she’s the main one at extinction being given airtime when there are many others there who hardly got a glimpse last night. Anyway, hoping I’m wrong.

Wasn't sure if it was just us or not. First season ever my wife has totally given up on and told me to just watch by myself. I'm still watching it out of sheer stubbornness but find myself distracted by my phone or watching on the iPad while playing video games. The show itself almost seems to be phoning it in. Gone are the amazing experience reward challenges and stuff like that, and they spend so much less time on the actual Survivor aspect. When they talk about rationing rice it's like "Oh yeah that's right, that's an element of this game."

It's just very by the numbers these days. Drama, challenge, drama, challenge, misleading drama, Tribal.

I only care about 3 things this season:
1) Seeing/hearing as little of Reem as possible
2) None of the returning players winning - especially now that they've all been voted out
3) Seeing as much of Lauren as possible

Yeah I think they overestimated people being worn out and over the game. Was pretty obvious that everyone was going to stay.

I far preferred the Redemption Island theme where they continually had those Gladiator battles to stay on Redemption Island.

Reem has to be one of the most obnoxious Survivors ever. Does she have any redeeming qualities? This season's format almost reminds me of every kid getting a ribbon in a running race. Surely all of the losers won't be on the Final jury. How would someone like Reem know anything about the gameplay of the finalists except what she obcerves at TC or hears from the other losers.

I agree with drd23 about Lauren. My third wife never looked that good, even on the honeymoon. ;)
