Survivor 47

Agree re Sol. His response to Rome going around saying stuff was interesting in that he encouraged everyone to fact check - quite different from what is so often a lot of paranoia, pot stirring and he said/she said.

Also, I did laugh when he rather graciously said to Sue that "we look good for our age." He's 43, there's no way he's buying that she's 45, he knows what 45 looks like. I'm still wondering why she is even bothering with this - for 59 she actually seems to be in great physical shape, is keeping up with the challenges, making connections, surviving the elements. What's the point of wanting people to think she's younger?

What's the point of wanting people to think she's younger?

She's quite clearly vain. She also claims it's a strategy, so people won't think she's too old to compete. I would think it would impress people that she's in such good shape for her age (as everyone says about everything once you pass 40) now that she's proven herself. She had some pretty impressive arm muscles on display in the challenge.

I like the way they've made it harder to get idols this season and I really hope they keep the red paint idol, as that has been .

I like pretty much everyone in the cast at this point.

Re - the red paint idol - I LOLed so hard at that. Why didn't they think of that years ago?
So simple but so stressful for the person that finds the idol. That was a lot of paint!
Now we will be entertained by how people will open anything with an idol in it.
Glitter would be fun.

That was an interesting tribal! Good for Sol for being on the lookout for an advantage, for keeping it quiet and using it so effectively. That really stirred things up, since I think people were either still going to vote Rachel, or were planning on her being a vote on their side. Not sad to see Tiyana gone, I'd rather her leave than Gabe, who I'm still liking. Andy has come a long ways, and I'm really starting to like his reading of the game and play he's putting out there. I wonder how soon Sol will tell Rachel that he saved her butt. And all the talk of an all-woman alliance still seems to be just that, talk.
