I haven't watched it yet. Spousal out of town, so waiting to watch. Shhhhhh
No thoughts on the show this week?
I thought the vote was a no-brainer. Who sits out three challenges in a row and doesn’t think that they’ll be in jeopardy?
I couldn't recall what Kane did, so might need a reminder.
I think it was the way he voted in the Tribal Council. The guy he voted for was not pleased. Of course I can't remember the guy's name.
I couldn't recall what Kane did, so might need a reminder. Wish they would explain it from week to week. My memory isn't that good any more.
Last year there was a woman who breezed through a puzzle because she had practiced it before leaving. That's on Survivor, come up with some new stuff.
The kid is obviously my favorite, however it's always interesting to see if he has overplayed his hand. It's tough to be on both sides and be trusted. And it's a bit early to try this. Just pick the majority until tribes merge.
The beauty of Survivor is sometimes, the best players on paper, get knocked out early by one paranoid person who organizes a coup.
Growing up Catholic, I can remember the prayer to St Anthony.

After watching last night’s episode I realize what Kane did.
Carolyn is still a nut job and really annoying.
It seems like a couple of people really did major prep before coming on the show. Not sure I like that.
NYC firefighter Danny Massa puts ‘the Bronx on blast’ on ‘Survivor’ Season 44
As a New York City firefighter, boxer and wellness coach, Danny Massa’s skills and experiences seem suited for a show as intense as “Survivor.” A Bronx native, Massa is competing on the current season of CBS’ Emmy award-winning series, which premiered its 44th season on March 1 and airs every Wednesday at 8 p.m.
The show brings 18 strangers together on an island to compete in a series of physically and mentally demanding challenges in harsh conditions, with the goal of winning $1 million.
However, Massa’s physical and mental prowess aren’t the only qualities that make him fit to compete.
Having grown up around Pelham Bay Park, he says that his Bronx upbringing has allowed him to fully appreciate diversity, a value that he says proved useful on a show like “Survivor,” which features a diverse and inclusive cast.
“I feel like being from New York City, and the Bronx, especially, it gives me a huge advantage that I can go on the subway and see more cultures in 20 minutes than a lot of people have the opportunity to see in maybe their whole life,” Massa said.
Being able to regularly interact with people from a variety of cultures and backgrounds, he said, makes it easy for him to get along with others despite their differences.
“You put me in a room with a bunch of people who speak in three different languages, and none of them are English, I can communicate,” he said. “ I know how to — communication is so much more than language. And that is just, it’s a powerful trait. I don’t feel out of place anywhere.”
Despite his ability to connect with others, Massa recognizes that some people might misjudge him for being a New Yorker. In a show where perception and relationships are important, he hopes that being genuine and open-minded will give him an advantage.
“A lot of us Bronxites get a bad rep for being all tough or not friendly, and I think that’s just like anywhere else in the world,” he told the Bronx Times. “You come across ten nice people, if one was a jerk, you remember that person … New Yorkers are beautiful people, and kind and loving, and I hope that side of me, and that side of New York, comes across in the show.”
Being the son of a retired firefighter who was part of the recovery effort at the World Trade Center after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Massa says that a lot of people view his toughness as a quality that he inherited from his dad. However, he also credits the women in his life as his biggest influences when it comes to being brave and taking on challenges. His sister, Shannon, who has faced difficult times herself as a widow, is one of his biggest inspirations.
Before he’d ever considered competing on the show, “Survivor” was something that Massa’s sister and her late husband bonded over. After her husband passed away, Massa said that it was too painful for Shannon to watch the show, until her kids discovered it.
“We all lived in a two-family house, (my niece and nephews are) watching the show, and my niece runs up and goes, ‘Uncle, we’re watching this show, you have to be on it, you have to be on this show ‘Survivor,”” Massa said. “So I come down to watch the show with them, and then that became our tradition. Like, every, every Wednesday, we’d watch ‘Survivor’ together.”
“And my sister told me, it was kind of beautiful (that) everything came full circle,” he shared. Being able to watch the show together again as a family helped his sister mourn the loss of her husband and helped her find happiness once again.
Years later, he thanks his niece for her support in encouraging him to apply, and mentions that she even filled out his application for him.
“She filled it out for me, and (the show) called me, so without my niece and my sister, it wouldn’t have ever been possible,” Massa said.
Just like Bronxites inspire him, Massa also hopes to give back to his community. At a recent charity event at St. Barnabas Elementary School, Massa helped raise money for the school’s after-school program while encouraging New Yorkers to take time to look after themselves through wellness exercises. Knowing the stigma surrounding mental health issues, he said that the event was “super rewarding.”
“… a lot of people came up to me and reached out to me, and asked where they can find more stuff, and that they really feel amazing,” he said. “And they’re going to use what they learned to deal with their anxiety and panic attacks, so that’s cool. That really just blows my mind that I can help people with that.”
Ultimately, Massa is just happy that he was able to “put the Bronx on blast” and compete on his favorite show. While he couldn’t share any spoilers, he says that he had no plans going in and that he just did his best to be flexible, facing challenges as they came.
“You know, you don’t want to go in with any expectation of thinking, ‘This is what I’m going to do’ and then do it,” he said. “Yeah, so I maintained that going in. And then you know, you’ve got to be able to tune in and see how efficient or inefficient I was at that tactic.”
I don’t recall what he did either.
That's true and which one was Kane?
edit: I looked him up. I don't recall what he did?
there would be more postings here if it wasn't a premium board.
Kane made an epic error imho this week
Yes, the crazy chick is just gonna get crazier. Makes for good TV.
I like your fireman guy so far.
Yam Yam is gonna also drive me crazy. He reminds me of the girl who won last time who is way too upbeat.
Jeff doesn't give much allowance for injured people, I like that.
Why was the guy climbing the big rock anyway? He's lucky he didn't die. I wonder if camera crew try to talk them out of doing stupid things?
I thought the first episode was pretty good even though the injuries seemed to dominate.
Other than the guy I know, I can’t remember names yet but there was one weird chick that would drive me crazy!
I will never understand the reasoning that some people have about getting rid of a strong player when you are still in team mode.
This is the time to get rid of weak players so they don’t end up sneaking to the end.
OK, on first glance I like Lauren Harpe. Just to see how all that hair is going to handle the ocean.
Then, there's that Greenblatt chick. I predict she'll be calling for room service pretty early.
Most likely to annoy me early is Yam Yam. He's going to be the first to cry.
Dang that's an awfully large siggy pic ya got there.
Just to keep things fun now, I'm going to root for whoever is the exact opposite of Danny.
Lemme see who that would be....
Cast photo and link to bios in intro box.
Go Danny Massa!
I'm tellin' ya......
Spousal_unit fell on Saturday on the golf course and broke her arm and wrist.
Tough getting old.
Playing pickleball last week and one of the ladies fell and broke both of her wrists. She got the point though!
Bronx people know everyone
The fireman's moth? Bet she likes light.
Do all you NYers hang together? You seem to know them all! Small town thing I guess
I know the fireman’s mothe
I don't have an early favorite this year. What a world!
So, who do you know there? Someone's mother?
It does annoy me though that so many go on the show just to be famous for being on TV

Well now I definitely don't like him. NYC firefighters are smug.
I'll be rooting for the young hottie until she gives me a reason not to.
He also is or was a NYC firefighter
I like boxers!! I used to be one.
I don't think I hate everyone from NY. I even have some friends who came from that God forsaken place. They keep on moving to Texas though.
Before the jury questions I thought it would go 3 for Cassidy, 3 Owen, 2 Gabler.
After the questions I saw it as 4 Gabler, 2 Cassidy, 2 Owen.
I didn't think Owen should have had a chance. He admitted he didn't have any control through the game and only got final 3 because both Jesse and Cassidy saved him.
I was team Jesse the whole season, but then he screwed up when he helped to boot Cody. Seemed like a strong move, but he dumped the guy who not only had his back, but who could win the challenges. Then he wanted to boot Cassidy over Karla which seemed so dumb. I think she would have won if she got to final 3.
Gabler managed to stay under the radar, and perhaps he did have the right strategy the whole way. It's always interesting to see the many ways a winner wins. Sometimes, the person who seems strongest gets voted out first.
Before the jury I didn’t think Gabler had a chance but he even sold me!
I actually don’t know both of the people on Survivor but I know a close relative.
Being that this guy is from NY I am pretty sure you won’t like him.
I think he was an amateur boxer.
That's the second person you've known on there!
So, last night was interesting. After the questioning, I had changed my guess from Cassidy to Gabler. He had such great answers and interestingly, this was the first time I've seen the jury work as a team to not only come up with questions, but to verify the answers.
Then Gabler shocks the world by giving it all away?!!! LOL. it made it hard for anyone else go complain about not winning.
I'd love to know if Gabler discussed that decision with his family in advance. I can just imagine his wife fainting at the news.
Just shows, expect the unexpected. Top that Big Bro!
I wonder if Gabler will get any commercial success from this? He's not exactly the Colby type.
When I was watching the coming attractions for next season I thought one of the guys looked like the son of a girl I grew up with.
Today she posted on Facebook that her son will be on Survivor next season.
LOL...I got yelled at by yankee fans.
All Rangers fans are very pleasant.
You of all people should know not to believe everything you see on Facebook. It’s probably Rangers fans stirring up shit.
LOL...it's all over Facebook!
You told me about the high five thing and I still don’t believe it’s true.
and of course this is why people get annoyed with yankee fans......well that and all the other stuff.
It's funny, I've been reading online from all the yankee fans how impressed they were that Rangers fans gave Aaron Judge a standing O for home run 62. Those definitely were NOT the Rangers fans. The Rangers fans sold their tickets for silly money and stayed home.
On the other hand, yankee fans are appalled that the Rangers players didn't high five Judge as he rounded the bases. Seriously?? Wasn't it enough that we even bothered to throw him strikes, unlike other teams?
I can’t believe it either.
Can't believe yankee fans booed Judge.
Yankees will be a shock as well.
Not to Yankee fans. They started out like a house on fire, but completely imploded in August.
September was all about Judge and the wins or losses didn’t feel as important.
As you said relief pitching can be shaky, not like the days of Mariano Rivera.
Well, Seattle was already home so there was no long flight.
Dodgers were a shock considering how good that team is. Yankees will be a shock as well.
Braves were also a surprise.
It was a shame that the team who lost the 18 inning game had to go home. For that reason I would have liked to see Seattle win.
Even when Verlander has a bad day, the team still wins.
I guess the biggest surprise to me was the Dodgers.
They certainly have been, although I can't imagine being in Seattle and watching your team go 18 innings without being able to score a single run.
I'd say in Cle/NY it comes down to pitching. NY has the starters, Cle has the relievers. So the later in the game it goes, I favor the Guardians more.
Philly has just been on fire. I'd love to see SD win as their GM came from the Rangers, but I'm OK with either team.
If it's yankees/astros, I will become an NL fan.
Many of the games have been very exciting
Are you enjoying the playoffs? I hope you will be very disappointed in the morning.
Go Trib....er....Guards!
Well, her mistake was she openly expressed her paranoia. She created her own demise.
Working with other groups IS a good idea, but again, anything you do, can come back and bite you.
She brought paranoia to new heights.
This episode showed a team helping a rival team. IMO it was a smart move
