Hey mates and Sheilas, sharculese is still having power and internet difficulties, so he can’t recap week 7. Since week 8 is just about to start and is going to be action-packed (six seasons and a movie! three episodes and a merge!), I’m just putting this up as a placeholder so we can discuss these two episodes and THE SEASON’S MOST SHOCKING BLINDSIDE (j/k).
- Man I hope John Kirhoffer is watching Australian Survivor. The challenge designers are just killing it.
- Did Peter do the right thing by mutinying, given that the merge is so close? Should Sarah have beaten him to the punch?
- Going into the merge Samatau has an 8-4 numbers advantage, all of the idols, and tons of intel on Asaga thanks to that messy episode 14 tribal. I’m really worried that we’re headed for a straight Pagonging of Asaga after the merge. Thoughts?
- What could prevent this? Can Luke and Sarah possibly continue to work together? Would it make sense for Peter and other bottom-feeders at Samatau to break away?
- Did it make any sense for Asaga to pass on an opportunity to get rid of a big threat (i.e., Luke or Sarah)?
- Odette: Robbed Goddess or Robbed-est Goddess?
Assistant Dragon Slayer began watching Survivor in 2013 with Survivor: Caramoan, but continued to watch the show anyway. He is up to 59 seasons and counting (43 US, seven Australia, five South Africa, two New Zealand, two Japan). So there.
Favorite player from each country: Cirie Fields (US), Luke Toki (Australia), Santoni Engelbrecht (South Africa), Lisa Stanger (New Zealand), Sakiko Sekiguchi (Japan) [and Maryanne Oketch (Canada)]
