You guys brought up a good point. Since Xander trusts Tiffany, Tiffany can go to him and tell him about Lillianas advantage and ask Xander to give it to her so it won't get stolen. I don't think she's that smart but would be cool to see.

[californiadreaming]

I enjoy all the new things brought into the game.

While I understand for the average person this new Survivor might be hard to follow, as a big gamer, I am honestly loving this season.

I will say though that I am surprised that after 40 seasons that people don't want to go to the exile island or don't think about how there will be big power there. If I was a player I would of wanted the grey rock and to go to exile, well I would of preferred the feast but as a game player you almost want to be in Erika's position

[rolly]

There being no tribal today after a week of waiting was a let down

[Maw]

Thank God. I can finally learn the other half of the cast's names. Honestly I couldn't before because the only focus was Ua for forever.

[dangolden]

Awful twist. Does anybody actually believe that she's not going to smash the hourglass?

"Hey here is an hourglass" If you smash it, you will be safe.... if you do not, you will be vulnerable to go home"

Hmm let me think that's a tough

Let's just tell it how it is, they wanted the winning team to have to send someone home.

[charlieradant]

I think I’m done with Jeff already. Time for a new host. Erika has a very intriguing decision to make. I think she smashes it because it’s getting hyped up

[TaylorJ]

I think Evvie is in a great spot. Kinda under the radar, no one’s looking at her but she’s got great skills! I can see her winning

[garygagnon]

I understand this is a New Era of Survivor but, it seems like Jeff is winging it which adds to confusion. They are showing a little to much of Shan an Ricard and their feud. Now what I didn`t get is, the 6 players have to work their way back to get into the merge, does that mean, one person doesn`t make it and is out of the game. To many twist and idols.... if it isn`t broke, why fix it.

[Genjoi]

I'm having a really hard time getting into this season.

[ChelseaBrooke]

I agree that this season is way too complicated! My dad who is only 60, every episode, asks out loud "ok what is going on?! Explain this to me." lol Sometimes I barely can!

[MD-wkgj]

It’s no longer Survivor it’s Twister.

I’m not a big fan of all these changes.

Show me the contestants, dive into their successes and failures.

[RealNicolasCage]

Survivor production is playing with fire, a team that was told if they win the challenge they have earned a spot in the merge will be told that it was a lie and now because of powers outside of their control they are vulnerable to go after WININNG.

[k.i.]

During the challenge, did Xander say the answer to the puzzle out loud? The edit made it look like the other team overheard and quickly finished the puzzle first.

[chaz]

In the office style camera shot of Tiffany you heard her say to somebody that Liana didn’t tell her anything about her advantage. I can’t remember who she was talking to

[marygeorge]

My take is there slowing down a already short season that's all

[anthonyseverino]

I feel like the "hourglass" twist is the biggest concept ever on Survivor, if we think about it, Survivor is a domino effect, in one way or another, every vote out has a connection to the previous one from the very start, for them to say, here we can reverse time, that can prevent eliminations from happening and therefore, altering the rest of the course, for this particular twist, I don't really like it because it has a big potential to sink someone's game, maybe if they use it in another way, it can be as powerful as the "knowledge is power" twist or even the super idol. Erica has no choice than to smash it, but it will guarantee a target on her back, especially that she will basically send her tribe, I have to everyone's surprise, especially Matt, Heather has the front runner, than Shan close by, but we'll see how it all plays out, go Survivor!!

[terribee]

on the team challenge, the one with the huge heavy ball buried deep in the sand they had to dig up and push up out of the hole? Anyone else get nervous for each team as they pushed the big thing up out of the hole and several team members then got into the empty hole to help push it out? I kept thinking what if that big ball rolls right back into the hole? Squished team members? Maybe it wasn't as heavy as it looked on the show?

[chaz]

Did you guys see that Boston Rob is in negotiations to be on BB Celebrity? Would you guys be excited about that? I would absolutely love it lol

[dellerb]

The new advantages and twists aren’t horrible in my opinion. It’s seems like in this new era of the game they’ve smashed some Big Brother type stuff into it. Survivor needs to explain or set up the twists to the viewer before they blow past it on the now busier show. We need more INFORMATION.
Sincerely, Confused.
