Survivor HHH finale

Here we are at the end of HHH. It’s down to Ryan, Chrissy, Ben, Dr Mike and Devon.
*** SPOILERS AHEAD****
That final twist was not cool. While it was exciting to watch, I felt sorry for Devon because, traditionally he would have made it to final three.
While Ben is no means an undeserving winner, he should have gone home at four. There will be a big backlash about this move and Jeff will have to do a lot to convince everyone it was planned all along. Which it may have been, given it’s been a season of idols and advantages galore. I hope they don’t do it again.
Chrissy gave a pretty good showing, as expected, in her final speech, but her manner comes across as too smooth – her emphasis on her social game did not always ring true. You could tell Jeff was happy. It was surprising to learn the jury consensus seemed Ryan did not do much around camp, which was not reflected in the edit. Good ole Devon, casting a vote for his original ally.
We got a sneak peak of next season, Ghost Island, and some guff about old idols and bad decisions needing to be redeemed. At least it gave us a chance to again see the classic Eliza eyes pop out of her head at the “f—ing stick” idol.

Survivor HHH – do the worm challenge

They’ve brought back that fun challenge from Millennials V Gen X where the contestants are bound and have to wriggle in the sand, pushing a ball with their heads.
I can’t imagine anything worse than having a mouthful and graceful of sand and no access to a shower and shampoo.
Tonight’s ep was ok but hardly thrilling.
There are still a number of players we’ve barely heard from.
Desi was a challenge champ (Probst was barracking for her almost as much as he did Michaela) and she happens to be my winner pick, but she has barely made the edit.

Survivor HHH – tribe swap

Someone always gets screwed with these things. “Drop your buffs” is not what you want to hear so early in the game.
Could be worse. Jeff could have said: •Patrick’s on Redemption Island and may be reentering the game.

RECAP BELOW
Check Comment 1 for Daisy’s guest recap of the episode (thank you, Daisy. Ryan is described as a bellhop but I’m thinking he is actually a student at MIT or some such and the description of his part-time job just appealed more to the Survivor producers. They love job titles like ice cream scooper.)
