Thoughts on this episode:

1. So sad for Varner. I thought he would get to the merge this time, but I guess it was not meant to be. I can't believe this is how he ends his Survivor story (unless if he gets to play for a fourth time). This is one aspect of this game, you sometimes stop thinking and make stupid mistakes like this. There is no explanation as to why Varner would make this statement being in a good position after exposing the alleged Zeke-Ozzy alliance. Questions of morality aside, this should be ranked as one of the dumbest moves in Survivor history.

2. Well, Jeff at least gets the distinction of being the only player to play three times, and never make the jury (he did make the merge in Australia, though).

3. I am somewhat baffled by Jeff's statement that Zeke's secret was exposed to millions of viewers. I mean, he said it long before this was aired, and making such a statement was something like a declaration that no matter what Varner and Zeke would want, this would be aired. I mean, yeah, given the fact Varner was eliminated because of his words kind of made it necessary to not edit it out, but still...

4. Production is going out of its way to make fans love Culpepper. I am OK with that, but I think they went too far this time.

5. Overall, this was one Survivor's worst episodes of all time. I want Survivor for entertainment, and this episode was nothing but. Let's hope it will not affect the quality of this season too much, as it has been a really good one so far.
