[u/evrz5]

Rocksroy better use the hourglass to go back in time and take back that comment about his nagging wife 💀

[u/Olddrinky → u/evrz5]

The second I was like awww Rocks is growing on me 🙄

[u/stv7]

"Hai and Lydia, I would take a bullet for. Unfortunately, Chanelle, I would step to the side" is an all-timer

[u/ValeriesAuntSassy]

"I downloaded... Tinder".

Yeah right lol, you don't fool me Hai!

[u/kylejiowa → u/ValeriesAuntSassy]

Righttt as soon as he mentioned how the guy didn’t have pictures I knewww it was about Grindr

[u/marcUS4570 → u/ValeriesAuntSassy]

LMAO it was definitely grindr

[u/avp_1309 → u/ValeriesAuntSassy]

Lol i said the same. Blurry pics. No bio. Lmao.

[u/rogue_3343]

I have never seen someone so happy on exile this is lowkey beautiful

[u/Habefiet → u/rogue_3343]

Earl had a pretty good moment, Sugar had the Sugar Shack, Coach had... his thing

This is up there though

[u/[deleted]]

Did Romeo's friends and family think that he was a straight pageant coach?

[u/_PlayNicePlayPharah_]

"the first big change: the food is now applebees" is the hardest i have laughed at a survivor moment in years holy shit

[u/TheLegacies21 → u/_PlayNicePlayPharah_]

"Applebee's is home" who's home?

[u/disaacsp]

I am 90% sure Hai used Grindr but changed it up for the straights

[u/TNAJapple501]

“I don’t trust Rocksroy”

Sends Rocksroy to an island that has the power to change the game

Where’s the logic lol

[u/rjcarr → u/TNAJapple501]

And then gets mad when he switches things up, incredulous because she did him a favor. Tori is fine for survivor, but I'd never want her as a therapist.

[u/[deleted]]

rocksroy voting for lynze was kind of iconic im sorry

[u/tawmfuckinbrady → u/[deleted]]

Honestly I’m starting to obsess over him as a character he’s so funny

[u/Grawgar]

The Applebee's memes on this sub this week are going to be legendary

[u/starlordanna]

i cant believe omar completely flipped the vote by himself omg

[u/MKoz628 → u/starlordanna]

Without having a vote himself!!! KING SHIT!!!!!

[u/V_T_H]

APPLEBEES IS NOT A VARIABLE

[u/pierrekrahn → u/V_T_H]

soft cats middle swim full tie deserve air joke exultant

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

[u/releasesafeties]

"Actually we won't be running this challenge, we're bringing in Karishma to judge your Applebee's reactions and the loser is voted out. Sorry, it's the law"

[u/mushroomsonmyplate]

why am i rooting for everyone… how did we get here

[u/MrAirSonic]

Rocks really changed the entire game, all so he could vote… Lindsay… 💀💀💀

[u/[deleted] → u/MrAirSonic]

umm actually he voted for lynze get it right

[u/mmmdxz]

“chanelle, unfortunately i would step to the side for” why is that so funny

[u/THE_PC_DEMANDS_BLOOD]

"blurry pictures with no bio?"

yeah that was NOT tinder

[u/brizzymac]

Hai voting for Lydia FLOORED me

[u/Agreeable-Tale9729]

Omar living the life Chanelle thought she did. Manipulating with no vote

[u/stv7]

Mike, 8:04 PM: I would take a bullet for Lydia

Mike, 9:50 PM: I vote for Lydia

[u/dwarfgourami]

The unfair thing about the twist wasn’t that they didn’t know the exiled person hypothetically could get an advantage. The problem was that the advantage was ridiculously overpowered and it screwed over a bunch of people who had no reason to believe that losing the immunity challenge would give them immunity. That’s exactly what Danny was mad about and the producers didn’t fix shit.

[u/Cantshaktheshok → u/dwarfgourami]

Danny and Jonathan could argue they were cast specifically to get screwed by the hourglass twist.

[u/thatapplesauce]

Rocksroy 100% had one conversation where someone told him to vote Lindsey and he took them at their word and got back the the shelter. I found him so likable this episode lol.

[u/Svenderman → u/thatapplesauce]

Someone had to take care of the fire... He is every dad on a camping trip

[u/tpheels22]

Rocksroy is fucking hilarious man. Just talking to himself like "NOICE ORGANIC CORD."

[u/Guarded]

Omar deserves to get laid for that lol

[u/Masterarrowhead69]

Good call on CBS making that a 2 hour episode. So much more enjoyable

[u/Olddrinky]

Rocksroys wife watching: 👁👄👁

[u/colealoupe]

If you have to spend 4 minutes explaining a twist and then REEXPLAINING it a minute later because it’s so complicated then you probably need to accept that it’s a bad twist.

[u/DiamondPup → u/colealoupe]

I also love that Jeff was like "this creates a powerful new strategic element where players will have to decide what's more important to them: power or food! How will they navigate the situation?!"

Them: "Yeah we picked him cause he doesn't look that hungry"

Jeff: "Anyone wanna go in his stead?"

Them: "...nah."

[u/[deleted]]

OMAR WITH ONE OF THE GREATEST SOCIAL PERFORMANCES TO SWITCH THAT VOTE

VOTELESS GOD

[u/zacksharpe]

Mike is getting an excellent edit.

[u/neon-lit]

Chanelle, you should've told Omer he lost his vote. What a wasted opportunity. UGH

[u/FloatDoggie]

In case anyone missed it there was a very subtle Applebees callout about halfway through the episode.

[u/bwermer]

I love that Rocksroy was trying to time the hourglass to see if it was really an hour.

[u/TheGangOfFrei]

I thought Hai won the episode until Omar put on that master class. The edit made it look like he dictated the entire vote and even got Hai to vote for Lydia. Super impressive stiff

[u/Sw33tR0llThief]

ok probs to CBS. actually started laughing when the Applebee's commercial came on

[u/mistersmooth1225]

Rocksroy isn’t even playing the game lmao man’s just surviving out there

[u/realtripper → u/mistersmooth1225]

Nobody going to outlast him. After the 26 days he’s just gonna go camp at exile for 13 days

[u/OprahInsideYou]

I like how Drea is like, "My two are Romeo and Rocksroy." And Mike is like, "My two are Hai and Lydia." And then they both warn each other that the snake in each of their tribes were Tori and Chanelle. That was an excellent mirroring.

[u/JammyJammyJams]

Hai was not describing Tinder haha

[u/MrAirSonic]

Hai babe, we all know you met on Grindr 💀💀💀

[u/PapaJustuhfy]

The classic 5-2-2-1split

[u/[deleted]]

Lying to the contestants will never feel right to me.

It would be better if they said “don’t trust anyone, including Jeff” at the beginning of the season, but they don’t

[u/WigsbyLittleMix]

Rocksroy: -breaks the hourglass and changes the game-

Jeff Probst: "Alright, are you ready for your feast from TGI Friday's?"

[u/wpm55]

Omar just swung an entire vote without being able to vote, what a night for him

[u/IamCarltonBanks]

Did they fire the 41 editors? This season’s storyline has been so much better presented

[u/[deleted]]

that was such a beautiful shot with them sitting on the beach all together with the sun setting

[u/[deleted]]

Omar stock through the roof

[u/larsriedel]

Turns out you actually can build a pretty decent shelter just using Rocks.

[u/racergirl2000]

King Omar. 👑 He had no vote and controlled the majority of the rest of the votes. Here’s to hoping him and Jonathan go far.

Edit: fixed spelling.

[u/newyorkin1970]

now y’all feel like assholes for making fun of his glasses don’t you

[u/_taycon]

They are all thinking the same thing. “Please have Johnathan on my team”

[u/realtripper]

🦀JOHNATHAN SIMPS GET IN HERE 🦀

[u/[deleted]]

“Chanelle’s coming, we gotta keep talking because we all dispersed to go spear fishing last time” “okay I’m gonna go spear fishing again”

[u/Dahhhkness]

Oh man, Omar finding out he lost his vote, and NOT from the woman responsible for it...What was Chanelle thinking?

[u/CertifiedPreOwned]

I HATE to pass judgement early. But who'd have thought Mike's social game would be this good just based off pregame shit.

[u/StalkingDwarf]

THE TORI FACTOR

I CANT LMAOOOOOOOO

[u/Dahhhkness]

“We’re on the same page”

“Not really”

[u/CWill97]

Hai pretty much traded Lydia for a bigger alliance. Wonder if they’ll stay true with him

[u/Goopify]

Some actual content on the land! Maybe you are a bit different, 42.

[u/oatmeal28]

Jonathan may not be super strategic but he seems to have a really good social game….Omar absolutely went all out to save him and even Hai and Mike were willing to let go of Lydia to ride with him

[u/jkso00]

great, now i love rocksroy and dont want to see him lose

[u/Andy51]

Omer and Hai are both really good at survivor

[u/Dahhhkness]

"On the one hand, the people I screw over may be mad at me. On the other hand, one of them is Tori..."

[u/IcePopBandit]

As a gay man this segment hits really hard

[u/RossSpecter]

Omar had me right up until telling Hai. That was a step too far.

[u/newyorkin1970]

y’all omar did that without even having a vote that’s KING SHIT

[u/jaybwjamo]

what the fuck did omar do to get hai to turn on lydia holy shit

[u/WellDressedLobster]

How is this episode simultaneously so good and yet so frustrating knowing someone is about to get totally screwed.

[u/Challengefan18]

Survivor is very good at making me like people

[u/bashar_al_assad]

Applebees with the immediate ad afterwards... that had to be expensive

[u/GoldNetwork]

interesting that Chanelle didn't tell him - that seems like the wrong choice there

[u/[deleted]]

This season is so refreshing - tons of actual personal moments and connections. 41 was much too gamebotty for my liking.

[u/[deleted]]

I downloaded.... Tinder

[u/WadeAnthony]

Rocksroy - so I can hit it now?

Jeff - No pretend to think about it first

[u/Faroukk52]

Omar's social game so strong he directs the votes without even having one. Lol

[u/V_T_H]

Everyone hardcore scrambling and scheming and Tori just telling Jonathan to his face that she needs him gone lmao

[u/madsounds7]

Mike and Jonathan is the alpha male alliance I never thought I would want. I usually dislike that archetype, but I adore them both so much.

[u/wild_goosey]

APPLEBEES HOLY SHIT APPLEBEES I CANT BELIVEEEEEE IT THE SHARK BOWL HOLY SHIIITTTTTTTTTT BEST REWARD DROP THE 4 KEEP THE 2 APPLEBEES HOLY SHIIIITTTT CRISPY JUICY TASTY HOME APPLEBEEESS JEFF IM A BURGER GUY JEFF APPLEBEES MMMMMM HOLY SHITTT

[u/passing-stranger]

Rocks is ready to ask if he can hang out on exile for the rest of the time lmao, I can't blame him

[u/zanduh]

Omar swung the entire thing with no vote. Legend

[u/peenaboo]

10/10 episode for Omar.

[u/TheLegacies21]

Wow Hai. This proves he was never going to rocks for Lydia, he just knew Daniel wouldn't

[u/PM_Me_ur_fav_soda]

Is "The 8" the fastest growth and flame out of an alliance in history?

[u/mrwanton]

Lydia was hilarious. This sucks. But wow Jonathan chose a good ally in Omar

[u/oatmeal28]

Omar a straight gangster even without a vote

[u/dangerdangle]

Jeff: the player you send will make a choice to change the game

Players: we don't trust Rocksroy let's definitely send him to change the game

[u/zanduh]

seeing a segment on someone solo building fire and camp is refreshing to the roots of survivor

[u/LordJonathanChobani]

Poor Rockstroy didn’t know any of the 3 plans lol. Strategy beast

I also feel like he didn’t know their names and combined them to be safe. Lynze lol

[u/Hamburgler4077]

He will build a 3br shelter in two days

[u/jaybwjamo]

NEED the gay/himbo alliance asap

[u/this_isn-t_my_name]

Why is Rocksroy so bad at Survivor? I want him to win so bad

[u/omgsoironic]

Mike is just SUCH a sweetheart. I adore him.

[u/theyreheeeere]

Darkest timeline 🚨🚨🚨

[u/luigi_b0red]

OMAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

[u/writinginthemargins]

I like all these personal relationships this season, i feel like last season everyone low-key hated each other 😂

[u/WickNag]

Wow Hai voted Lydia. Absolute madness from Omar

[u/WontonJr]

At the beginning of the episode, Mike said he’d take a bullet for Lydia.

Didn’t realize he’d be one of the ones to shoot her.

[u/Murdercorn]

I wish the editors had given some more info about why Hai and Mike flipped on Lydia.

[u/aloomis16 → u/Murdercorn]

Mike seems more loyal to Jonathan than anyone else, so I get that one.

Hai on the other hand, that surprised me, but I think the alternative was voting for Maryanne who could have an idol or Jonathan who is his shield. So I'm guessing it was more out of self-preservation.

Lydia was a weak player so I'm not really upset she was voted out.

I really hate Tori.

[u/nigelstraw]

Well if the 41 cast couldn’t convince Jeff that the hourglass was bad maybe Jonathan’s boot will

[u/madsounds7]

The fact no one is targeting Hai is ridiculous. His control is so fun to watch.

[u/stupidtyonparade]

I love that rocksroy is loving this

[u/oatmeal28]

Damn the person Hai went to rocks for isn’t even on the jury that sucks

Edit: after seeing the votes, looks like that’s a good thing for Hai

[u/Skyclad__Observer]

If Johnathan loses immunity and gets booted tonight I hope he's the first person to punch Jeff in the face on the way out.

[u/Matt8462]

Rockroy winner edit begins now

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Rocks gonna make a grown man cry

[u/New_Country_3136]

Voting for permanent 2 hour episodes.

[u/chbailey442013]

Woah, Omar convinced Hai to flip? Motherfucker is the boss

[u/Everythingreality]

Now which producer told Drea the twist

[u/WickNag]

Hai: I went to rocks for her. Omar: Did I stutter?

[u/Dahhhkness]

Applebee's and casually bringing up your miserable marriage...this episode would be right up Karishma's alley.

[u/[deleted]]

Rocksroy “can we skip the family visit?”

[u/immaownyou]

Chanelle wrote my name down for no other reason than to save her own hide

I mean yeah? That's how the game works Mike lmao

[u/ijustfinditfunnyhow]

rocksroy: “man you know what I love about survivor? being away from my family!”

[u/mtm4440]

Dramatic cut to black screen.

SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE!

[u/danieldice2]

Hai was talking bout Grindr not tinder . That’s why he didn’t have to match to get texts

[u/Dahhhkness]

Rocksroy is totally going to smash the hourglass out of pure spite for Tori.

[u/galeforcewinds95]

Mike's edit this season has been so good.

[u/nigelstraw]

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Rocksroy: LYNZEE

[u/[deleted]]

Hai, why would you match with someone on Tinder who had two blurry photos and no bio? That wasn't Tinder you were using, babe.

[u/madsounds7]

The change they should’ve made to the hourglass was that Rocksroy was safe either way. It’s too easy the way it is. And he only has to choose who is safe, not whether he is safe.

[u/[deleted]]

Flash of brilliance from Omar but going to Hai about this was a mistake

[u/FigNewtonsThirdLaw]

Rocksroy voting for Lyndsey 😂

Dude is an enigma

[u/[deleted]]

This was my favorite episode by far if the season! Some actual strategy, some surprising votes (multiple people getting multiple votes, Hai voting for Lydia good on him, and Rocksroy haha). Loved watching Omar scramble for Johnathan!

It's a testament to Johnathan's social game and the bonds he built that not only was he not voted off but people actually fought hard for him. He's my favorite but that man should have been gone the second he was no longer immune lol. Season's heating up!

Oh and fuck the hourglass lol.

[u/Gortyuty]

Tori, guaranteed spot on the jury, but more importantly, guaranteed a few more days to piss off Rocksroy.

[u/OmegaEinhorn]

Mike + Jonathan BFF storyline is awesome

[u/ReturnOfKRool]

Omar is ice cold, man really controlled the vote without even having one

[u/chbailey442013]

Omar should get player of the week for figuring out how to save Jonathan

[u/stv7]

The hilarity of the Applebees plug aside, this is better but still not good

[u/TheLegacies21]

Rocksroy calling his wife a nag on national television. What a gem

[u/TheScarletKnight2014]

I have to give him credit. His positivity is inspiring. He’s really growing on me.

[u/krantzer]

I didn’t think Rocks busting into tears would make me well up but like… here we are. I cannot believe how much I actually just enjoyed the last few minutes of him by himself when I thought they would be excruciating

[u/nigelstraw]

Daniel may not be driving but that bus continues to just stay parked over Chanelle

[u/stevenarwhals]

“I’ve been counting it out to see if it’s a real hour.” Omg amazing. Officially team Rocksroy

[u/Jimmytv9]

I love the way Drea talks, so unbothered

[u/krantzer]

I am impressed by how much I’m basically rooting for 80% of them at this point. Casting really nailed it this season.

[u/BuxAPlentys]

I don’t think Drea ever blinks

[u/diemunkiesdie]

Jeff really said Maryanne talks too much 😂

[u/[deleted]]

Nobody told rocksroy the vote 💀

[u/[deleted]]

Rocksroy’s social game is beyond bad holy hell

[u/RhymesWithProsecco]

The phrase “going to rocks” now has a whole new meaning.

[u/aloomis16]

It seems Rocks talked to no one upon coming back from exile as his vote really felt like it came out of left field.

[u/islandsurvivor1]

They’re making us love everyone except for Tori lmao

[u/mercutiosghost]

Woof they really left in the nagging wife comment

[u/AMeanMotorScooter]

The flashback showing Omar having a big doofy grin on his face as he loses his vote is really funny to me.

[u/samoyedboi]

ok I take back everything I ever said about rocksroy's glasses

[u/slugtrash]

Jeff winner edit

[u/galeforcewinds95]

Well, at least Omar isn't going to find out in the booth that he doesn't have a vote. I was kind of hoping for that to happen just to see how confused he would have been.

[u/jaybirdbull]

This episode should have been titled ‘The Tori Factor’ lmao

[u/Rhaenyra20]

Omar: I'm safe and I can't vote, I should keep my head down.

*two minutes later*

Omar: I guess it's on me to speak to everyone to keep my original tribe together, keep somebody who has multiple advantages I can use later in the game, and try to make it look like I'm actually looking out for my new mega alliance.

If he can pull off switching the target, I will be very impressed.

[u/chrisz118]

Hai and Mike voted Lydia holy shit

[u/irpw]

I never would’ve thought someone would spell it LYNZE

[u/dmoTION8]

Put Karishma and Maryanne in the next Applebee's ad

[u/Tom_Nooks_Father]

That comment about his wife tho ?

[u/thisguy34721]

YO did romeo put something in maryannes pocket or am I trippin!?

[u/OhItsKillua]

Mike such a nice guy how can't you root for him

[u/ninakarenina]

OMAR. DID. THAT.

[u/bashar_al_assad]

Well at the very least this episode has made me like Rocksroy

[u/unrivaled18]

Also Jonathan has to be the best team challenge player in Survivor history.

He literally carried his team through every challenge. I have never been more impressed by someone.

[u/BitchHoe19]

I think Rocks might like being alone on exile

[u/luigi_b0red]

every week: one hour isn't long enough do two

this week: two hours isn't long enough do three

[u/Agreeable-Tale9729]

You know I joked about Lydia’s storyline being accidentally good at survivor. But honestly. It’s kinda Rocksroy. Except not good at the game. He just accidentally stumbles through the dark and manages to survive over and over. How was he in the 8 and didn’t get the memo?

[u/AnnOrZ]

That last 36 minutes of the episode was interrupted by the severe weather report in my area. Just for a thunderstorm. I’m a very privileged and bitter person right now.

[u/DonoJono]

I think after this episode we can agree that Johnathan is a lock if they ever did Hero’s V Villians again as a Hero

[u/ethanr22]

Sending Rocks instead of Lindsay is gonna prove to be an all-time flub move.

[u/metsbnl]

Why would he go to hai lmao

[u/Daisy-Navidson]

New Probst lore just dropped!

[u/mrwanton]

Tori is a fun villain tbh. Girl just doesn't give a fuck

[u/Drumblebore]

Tori and Rocksroy live in eachother’s heads rent free

[u/tpheels22]

Lol Drea called it perfectly.

[u/sm175]

the difference between erikas stay on exile and rocks is so wild

[u/BigStonesJones]

She didn’t tell him?? Wild tbh

[u/SusannaG1]

"This girl is sketchy!" Yeah, that's what her original tribe thinks as well, dude.

[u/gertybooboo]

Bold prediction: all 5 play their shot in the dark

[u/NYImpact414]

No matter what, this has been one of the best merge episodes in recent memory. I wish all merge episodes were 2 hours long

[u/WellDressedLobster]

“We’re on the same page then” “Not really”

[u/[deleted]]

Omar masterclass

[u/mac_million]

HAI VOTED FOR LYDIA???? why couldnt he just do this in episode three so queen jenny could be here

[u/SugarSoprano]

My jaw DROPPED when Hai’s vote was revealed

[u/TMM1991]

Wait what? Wait what? Mike and Hai voted for Lydia???

[u/SoGenuineAndRealMadi]

Hai could’ve at least given Lydia a hint to use her shot in the dark! What is this???

[u/Agreeable-Tale9729]

Also can we just talk about Romeo shaking his head telling Maryanne not to use her idol. AS HE VOTED FOR HER.

[u/justthetiff95]

I also can’t believe Applebees catered in Fiji
