Thoughts:

1. Good morning, Aubry, welcome to the game! Hey, I give credit where credit is due.

2. WAKE UP, MICHAELA! But, yes, thank you again for the show at tribal!

3. Cirie - One of the things I absolutely hate about "Survivor" nowadays is the amount of crying. And don't get me wrong, I have nothing against touching moments, but they have to be genuine. In recent seasons, there is a feeling that Jeff is trying to milk those moments. I mean, what was the thing with Cirie and the challenge? Yes, she let her team down, but why did we need this moment when Cirie was asked to prove herself... I mean, yeah, of all the players, Cirie is the one who needs to prove herself. Cirie - the goddess of Survivor - needs to prove herself?! Yeah, it was a beautiful moment, but was it really needed? I don't think so. Cirie, stop crying and go back to giggling and strategizing. As for "the woman who got off the couch" - it is time to move on because this aspect of Cirie just can't be shown any better than on her first season - now that was a really good and touching story arc, unlike the artificial crying fest we see now. Seriously, Survivor producers, go rewatch the old seasons to see how it is really done!

4. Sarah - definitely the player of the week. But I am sorry to inform you, maybe you forgot, that Debbie just used the advantage correctly, so you will not be the first one to use it correctly. And don't get ahead of yourself.

5. Debbie - she became cocky... No, wait, let me rephrase that, she remained Debbie. Debbie is Debbie, and her cockiness is an integral part of her personality. I'm gonna miss her, mainly because she is yet to tell us about all her jobs. But having said that, she definitely deserved to go home. Hubris must be punished.

6. Troyzan still has an idol. Tai has two. I wonder if they still remember that.

7. The next episode promises to be insane. I hope it lives up to the promise.
