Survivor 43

was my audio messed up or did James have the strangest voice? Has this been happening all season and I'm just noticing it now?

Yeah sounds like he had something going on with his voice (congestion?) but also that whatever it was was hitting the exact tone to where the mics picking it up made it sound garbled.

Looks like all the guys voted Ellie, except Owen who voted for James?! I wonder why. Ellie seemed like a strong player who had a shot to win the game.

Yeah I think Owen voted with Elie for James because he was trying to keep Baka together and also he owed them for showing him the advantage Jeanine had won, not knowing they didn’t really like his game and were gonna play him eventually. Think he saw those girls as threats he could ride with and be shielded by. Which made sense because that’s exactly why she was targeted by others.

Was Gabler just being paranoid or did they really go through his bag? I can’t remember. The confrontations between him and Elie were some of the more intense interactions I’ve seen on modern Survivor. I think he and Sami read her like a book. We’ll see how long Gabler can play like he is. Elie made sure to paint a bright target on his back before leaving.

I guess nothing came of the Vesi/Baka alliance, yet. Those tribal lines are falling apart, I could see Vesi sticking together as a 4 for a while because Baka is basically a 3-1 and same for Coco with Ryan kind of a free agent, though he seemed to be united with them when he shared info that James & Cass name were being thrown about.

Also, Ryan is kind of a superhero? I felt kind of bad for Karla getting up that ramp being a bigger girl. She’s cool and I hope her hand is okay, they seemed to show that a good bit so hopefully it doesn’t become an issue.

Great episode. Fully invested in this season.

She did go through his bag which is what makes it stranger how she's reacting.

It wasn't just her though.

She and Jeanine went through his bag because they wanted clarification on his idol rules. Owen was sitting right there when it happened, so he didn't go through the bag, but he was like the lookout person.

They found the idol rules and realized Gablers idol didnt expire yet, but didn't think Gabler knew the full rules of his idol (he said he's glad he gets to keep it because it'll be a souvenir I think for his daughter or niece? pretending like he didn't know he had 1 more tribal to use it)

They found the idol rules and assumed Gablers idol expired based on the wording of the rules, but didn't think Gabler knew the full rules of his idol.

That’s right! Those two have been sneaky as hell and he called Elie out on it. I don’t know why she didn’t admit it when she was pressed, especially since Gabler was open with them on his advantage. She could’ve actually turned it on someone else if she played her cards right.

It’s hard not to be a little bit taken aback by her denial and actions as someone who is a psychologist. I do believe she was using her background heavily in this game. And I think she got too wrapped up in that. As soon as someone says they’re in control of the game, it’s bad news for their fortunes. People caught on to her “smile in your face, stab you in the back” vibe.

That's why I like the editing on Survivor and BB especially when they do the flashback clips during an argument.

Hard to be as invested in the argument when you have no idea who is actually right. But when they do the flashbacks, you'll see exactly who was right.

Glad she is gone, now get rid of her alliance member and then get the game going

What a plot twist!

Dwight had Jeanines idol and got voted out according to everybody...except Jesse, who actually has the idol that Dwight gave to him!

If Jesse somehow got voted out, Dwight would've been screwed big time though.

Yeah I'm still putting my brain back together after that one lol, Jesse is becoming a lowkey favorite
