14:02 Pretty sure this was a callback to Caramoan where Brenda and Andrea were in a showdown in this exact challenge and they made up a new rule (one foot) on their own!

Love your commentary you guys are hilarious

I really look forward to your recaps. The joy you both have, just chatting away with much laughter, brings such a smile to my face. ❤🎉

I was so sorry to see Soda leave. I love her personality.

Liz and Venus final two out of three

Well i finally watched this episode. David i agree it's a good episode & i was going to already comment how this season is probably the first one in a few seasons i haven't zoned out & not watched all the way through. And I've been a fan since day 1 of Survivor watching each season 5 times over up until maybe 5 years ago i kind of lost a little Survivor passion but I'm hanging in hope & this season is good so I'll watch throughout. They are all really clever players i have to say & some great personalities. I'm glad Ben is still in i think he's so different & playing in an interesting way aswell as funny . Looking forward to next one! Thanks S & D 🎉😊😊

I felt so bad for the both of the vote outs. Seeing them cry on the path out was hard to watch. But coming here to see you too made me feel better of course!

@2:22 - I think Charlie is thinking jury management. @6:59 @35:12 I agree that was a great human moment. It reminded me of when Brenda found Dawn's fake teeth in Survivor Caramoan. @16:16 Q definitely didn't throw that challenge lmao!!!!! He was bluffin' us! Seriously love your recaps!!! Whenever I travel outside the country and don't have access to paramount, I just listen to you guys to get my survivor updates!

43:45 Hey it worked for Maryanne with the Omar vote! Granted that was like, three tribal councils later than this one, but still. Venus is one of the few new era players who could stand to build their resume asap.

23:36 Holy shit you’re right! Everyone’s been fighting over whether or not this move was Venus’s or Tevin’s, but it’s actually Liz’s!

Regarding the Alphabet game, we played the name game first day of school as a way to learn everyone's name.

Thank you for your recap. I am thinking Venus is going to the final 3 because of her messy play. Better scenario would be Hunter/Charlie and Kenzie (or Liz)

Thank you for the excellent insight! Hopefully well see better challenges and more fireworks.

Hi Sarah & David, your recap of the episode was the Béarnaise sauce on top of the < _insert your favorite food choice_ >. Q better have been throwing the challenges because he won't make to FT without winning some, too bossy for most folks. Don't feel like Tim had a strategic game that went further than his own thoughts. He totally misplayed it with Q, and Maria wasn't all that tight. I'm sure Soda had a strong social game because everyone said so, but it didn't come across in the edit, to me. Gone too soon. Liz is like Gabler was -- I thought they had no chance of winning -- but then in and around the merge they both show a special potential. Gabler's call outs during an endurance challenge made me realize he could be potent at FT. I think Liz's strategy is to be a tactical player staying in the moment, with a eye toward the end. She's has four successful businesses so she's probably a convincing talker.

7:55 I think it has to do with the 26 day seasons and also the number of episodes per season. I think the better solution would be to have a double tribal council in the pre-merge, so only one tribe wins immunity. Then they’re all with people they’ve had time to build relationships with. Then go into mergatory at final 12, and final 11 on is full merge + the jury phase. They can’t start jury at final 12 because then there’s (supposedly) a risk of a 3/3/3 jury vote. So it has to start at final 11.

Q isn’t a coach he played football but he’s a real estate agent now although he’s giving every high school coach ever vibes

Oh yes the Alphabet game..i take back they are all clever 😂

14:34 Apparently Hunter said, I think in a preseason interview, that he has horrible balance.

Ofc it's the winner edit 😄 she's got so much Leo energy and that kinda person's not reaching out to you privately, providing her asc info for your astro predictions if she's not the winner or at the very least a huge power player 🤭I called it as soon as I've seen the astro predictions video and I'm standing by it. 😄

8:43 Plus everyone on their side was also in their group last week, minus Tevin who ended up on the other side. Edit: 11:08 Oh. 🤡

Hunter loose in this challange 34:46..?

im super late watching this but had to put my 2 cents in: are this people crazy?? they left hunter in the game??? he is a beast and he seems to be super likable to the tribe since they didnt even consider voting him out. i love him but i dont get it. im not a fan of Liz like David is. she doesnt seem like she cares at all and i want my winner to be a fighter. but i think she is staying for a long time, kinda like venus but without the strategy part.
