I'm 100% voting out that indian dude next time they are at tribal. What a fricking pussy. Crying asking them to not vote him out when he was never even a thought

This. Jelinsky, the other recent quitters.

The problem I have with casting doesn't have anything to do with race, gender, or sexual orientation. The problem is that too many of them are weak. The 2 issues go hand in hand a little, but not totally. Partly, it probably reflects this younger generation of "soft" people.

I'm tired of quitters.

Hunter’s one of the few getting meaningful airtime so that might be a good sign. The bad news is that his tribe is down a player now so they can’t be full strength at the merge. Hunter was pretty deadpan on the beach while they were giving pinched nerve guy the bad news. Q is from MS too so I wonder if they’ll form some sort of bond over that.

Hunter's entire house of Survivor games and trivia is quite impressive. Kenzie is a mean girl.

Bhanu begging on his knees. So bad at this game.

He claimed he was a super fan and has watched every season but had no concept how to play the game. Then, he would blame the other players for his predicament. He even blamed the Hindu gods for his gameplay tonight. He screwed over his 3 tribemates and their path to $1 million got much harder.

Never should have been cast.

I noticed in the camp footage from the episode, he was sitting on the log almost touching the actor. I think those two have a tight bond but the editors have been focusing on other stories. They’ll call the shot to take Soda out when it’s time and the others will follow.

Interesting thing on Jeff’s podcast about the “mood for food” song. The Survivor crew had to do some work before they could air the song because of publishing rights, ensure royalties get paid if it gets rebroadcast, etc. The first step was to verify Soda and the actor were members of some professional organization of entertainers and both of them already were. This points to an earlier post where someone said many new era players were there to advance careers in social media, etc. Maybe Soda’s song wasn’t as spontaneous as it seemed.

We haven't seen his social game because it's been 90% Bhanu and 10% Jem this past episode.

He just terrible fricking terrible.

If they didn’t vote Bhanu off, Bhanu would have gladly stabbed his 3 tribemates in the back after the merge and say they brought it on themselves. He reminds me of Gollum from LOTR. He definitely had a dark side the editors chose to minimize.

Jeff said successful new era players do like Q did and try to help or elevate a player like Bhanu. If you saw Bhanu and you’re only thought is to get rid of him, you won’t be successful, according to Jeff.

Just caught up on episodes, Bhaunu, might be the worst fricking player I’ve ever seen. frick Jeff and his “story”, get his arse outta here. He just terrible fricking terrible. Never seen someone get so much TV time being a pussy.

Bhanu was a terrible player but I did think he was pretty entertaining to watch.

Always fun to see someone blindsided with an idol in their pocket. Pretty ironic considering the wild goose chase she put the others on and great intuition from Tim.
