Thoughts:

1. Sorry to bring it up again, but it was really annoying. I am talking about how the editors showed us the story of Jeff Varner's elimination. During the "previously on Survivor" segment they made it look as if he just outed Zeke, was yelled at by everybody, and voted out without having shown any regret and feeling horrible about what he has done. Then, when Zeke told everyone what had happened, he also did not mention anything about Varner feeling bad (again, maybe he did, and the editors just edited this part out). On the flip side, the whole Varner-Zeke thing was merely a passing episode this time, and by the time we were through with the first tribal council, it was already forgotten.

Having said that, let's go to the game-related stuff.

2. Cirie and Andrea are back! The merge gave them some necessary air time, and they both made some nice moves, so that's great.

3. Debbie - you can hate on her as much as you want, I love her! She is the most entertaining contestant this season, and also a good player. Hey, she is the first person to successfully use the extra vote, so this already brings her into the Survivor hall of fame. My player of the week!

4. Hali - poor girl, I felt sorry for her, because she did not deserve to be voted out, and suspected of having a hidden immunity idol. I mean, Hali? Hidden immunity idol? That's funny. But, hey, better her than Michaela, right? Thanks, Cirie!

5. Sierra surprises me this season. I guess you really have to call someone a game changer in order to get them to be a game changer. She was a nobody on "Worlds Apart", but she is definitely a major player here.

6. Tai - he may have dethroned queen Ozzy, but he did not dethrone king Richard when it comes to the being the funniest gay naked guy. Nice try, though!

7. Ozzy - well, what did you expect? He is not a great strategic player, so here he is again, on the jury. Does he need to play for a fifth time? Only if they make a super season of Survivor with the greatest stars of all time, then maybe he has a place (alongside Boston Rob, Cirie and Rupert).

8. Zeke - he is just not a good player. Why does he play the game so hard? He is just overthinking it. Luckily for him, he is still in the game, so he can still change things around. The thing is that he has established for himself a reputation of a man who can't be trusted. Why does he do that? Can't he see how it keeps backfiring?

9. The moment that cracked me up the most... No, not Tai running naked. No, not Debbie pretending to be drunk and mooning Tai. No, not Andrea's sexy photoshoot that ended prematurely. But this moment:

Debbie: What does you gut tell you?

Sierra: Vote Zeke.

Debbie: What are you gonna tell Zeke?

Sierra: Aubry?

And scene! There you have it. Aubry's contribution to "Game Changers" in a short exchange between fellow contestants.
