Let's just hope that Jeff Probst can learn to start reading off of his cue cards like he used to do, but besides that, great episode. Keep up the good work.

Great Episode |

Besides Jeff's completely biased "last week on survivor", I thought this was bringing back what made the show great years ago. No one tribe
dominated the screen time early, so it wasn't completely obvious who lost the challenge, a majority of the people were given screen time, and we even got
some good air time dedicated to non strategy aspects of the show and character development. Sure, I was ticked off that GC turned out to be as big of a pussy
that we all thought, and I wanted them to get rid of the idol even though I like Sugar (although it was not that bad of a decision for Ken, Kelly, and Crystal
whether you think so or not. What would be a bad decision is Matty joining up with Ace.) The Survivor editors need to realize that they only need 5 minutes or
so dedicated to "Who should we vote off if lose?" and "Now, that we've lost, what do we do?" Seeing stuff about the wildlife out in
Gabon can be just as exciting with the elephant and the stuff about the electric fish. Even the challenges didn't seem to last that long because they were
exciting and actually original.
Let's just hope that Jeff Probst can learn to start reading off of his cue cards like he used to do, but besides that, great episode. Keep up the good work. |

I love seeing the nature/survival aspect of the show, which we usually never get these days. Elephant love <3

I thought it was a pretty decent episode, the best so far. Jeff was pretty ridiculous. He is just getting bad, he always plays favorites but it's getting
ridiculous.

I'd agree that this was a pretty good episode aside from Probst's biases.
That said, it was quite easy to tell that Fang lost the immunity challenge due to the commercials showing Crystal going through Sugar's bag, which had not yet aired at the time of the IC |

it was my favorite of the season so far but still meh
I still haven't really gotten used to the new HD look of the show either. It just looks weird in standard definition. |

Weakest episode of the season so far.
I liked the Bob vs. Ken showdown at the end though. It was epic. |

The only good thing about this episode was the elephant scene. And that's it.

That elephant scene proved that the contestants never actually see animals out there normally. When they see one it's like OMG OMG OMG. I was actually
quite annoyed at it, it's not like the Elephant walked through camp. That scene was like Fang at the local zoo.

whetever the case could you imagine how bad this ep would have been if it wasn't in HD?
for a while it was basically discovery channel which was cool with me |

There's probably a fence around the camp like there was in Africa, but this scene was just as good as the lion one back then. Sure being afraid of animals can be pretty damn exciting, but I like the scenes of them just enjoying what's around like Chuay Gahn and Magilla, Frank and the elephant, or Richard playing with the snake. We havn't seen one of those in a long time.

Other than that, meh. |

i liked the challenges tonight. and im glad gc finally gave up--but pissed at the same time that he quit when there are 20,000 others who would die to be
there.

I was actually hoping the elephant would attack somebody and inject some excitement into the show
