What a great season. These two episodes especially were so good. There are people to root for, people to root against, and virtually everyone is entertaining. Even Sierra and Kelly had great episodes tonight!
- So happy Prince Joe led his tribe to victory two last times before the swap.
- MASSIVE respect for Kelly for taking that blow, carrying on, and then getting six stitches like it was nothing. Truly a bad bitch.
- Joaquin's comments about Shirin's sociopathic tenancies were hilarious!
- The Blue Collar tribe was/is an absolute MESS. I agreed with everything Lindsey was saying, but she was just so aggressive that she came across almost as bad as Rodney. He was truly deplorable though. I couldn't believe that he didn't understand that he was offending millions of women watching.
- Jenn finding an idol

I see some of you guys are starting to warm up to her. I still love her, she's a bitch and she owns it.
- Sierra was RUTHLESS after the vote. "My tribe is dead to me now. DEAD TO ME!" YES.
- That swap was DREADFUL. Blue is not going to lose a single challenge until the merge. I mean. Joe, Mike, Joaquin, and Rodney!? Against 5 girls and WILL!? Lololololol. Hopefully they merge at 12 so that we only have to watch the massacre for one more ep. At least Sierra and Joe will be safe til the merge.
- Shirin and Max were a GIANT mess. Don't get me wrong, I found them highly entertaining but you have to have at least SOME social awareness to succeed in this game and neither of them had any. My god. Such awkward, unintentionally offensive, ANNOYING people.
- I'm so happy that Max went. He hyped himself up so much and acted all high and mighty so for him to fall was epic. And I'm excited to see the fallout with Shirin lol.
- Carolyn also had an amazing ep. I love that she's owning her duplicity. She set out to accomplish something and she did exactly that.
All of my favorites seem to be in prime position to at least make the merge. Joe, Hali, Jenn, Will, Carolyn, Sierra, Joaquin... Awesome!
