Alright, I'm a bit late, but here are my thoughts.


 * 1) 1 Like the majority of you, I didn't particularly enjoy Ryan this episode, his smugness was out of control. The way he blamed Ali for HIM flipping on Roark made me want to punch him. But, despite the fact that Ryan is basically a K-Mart brand Cochran... I don't hate him? There has been much worse than Ryan, and I'd rather have this "little twerp" narrating the season than someone who has no personality and speaks in a monotone voice all of the time (Sarah I love you and all but really). I lost respect for him this episode, but he's still good for me.


 * 1) 2 Oh boy, Cole's back at it again. I get that you're starving and all, but eating an entire fish for yourself is just a dick move. When he fainted, I genuinely thought he was faking it just for the extra food. Hope he's out soonish.


 * 1) 3 I loved the challenge this episode. Even though it was just A Bit Tipsy in a tribal format, it was something different, and a refreshing change from all of the obstacle courses/ swimming challenges we get pre-merge. The last season we had overly creative challenges was way back in South Pacific, and aside from a food challenge or something, it's mostly been the same stuff. I hope this is a new precedent, if that makes sense.


 * 1) 4 Why would they keep the idol in the same place after a swap? I mean, good for Joe and all, but that was just too easy.


 * 1) 5 Speaking of Joe, he's starting to grow on me. I don't really know why, especially since I hated Tony, but he's not half bad imo. Well... maybe half bad.


 * 1) 6 I liked Ali, I really did, but I can't deny that she's overrated. Whenever someone calls her a 'queen' or a 'goddess', it waters down the term, and takes away from the real queens and goddesses of Survivor. I will agree that she had a lot of potential, and that she was in a really tough situation after that blindside. I wouldn't mind seeing her back after a few seasons.

Overall, it was a good episode. I'm sorta getting Kaoh Rong vibes from this season, but only time will tell.
