Everyone tells everyone everything on this week’s episode, and one player ultimately pays the price.
So, I’m not supposed to be working this week.
Taking a much-needed vacation.

Always a strong look.
If I were an entire committee of Olympic diving judges, it would be 10s across the board.
Very funny, everyone.

Let’s get to it.
I often worry about that when we all react so strongly to something.
Are we getting the full story here?

Are there mitigating factors here that didn’t make the final cut?
Was this really as bad as it looked?
And this comes according to… Daniel!
Swati Goel of ‘Survivor 42’.Robert Voets/CBS
“I feel like I just totally screwed everything up,” he said upon returning back from Tribal.
“That man has literally no backbone.
So, as predicted, nobody now wanted to work with Daniel.
It’s all too bad, of course.
Daniel seems like a good dude.
I don’t think he is as wildly inept as he has looked on this show.
A terrible Tribal Council performance?
Those crafty editors fooled me.
I can just picture them in their socially distanced workstations.
“Oh, you think you’re so smart, Ross!
Well, takethis!”
But since these are a rarity these days, it was a treat to see.
A Fishy Situation
Again, not a Stephen Fishbach reference.
(See below.)
It was the jot down of comeback that can heal deep rifts and act as a huge morale boost.
But, hey, at least he’s safe.
Such was not the case for Ika.
Also, P.S…. why is Maryanne still saying her goofy bunny mailbox phrase?
Shouldn’t she just be waiting to see if someone says one of the other phrases first?
Which brought us to the bonkers activity this week on Ika.
(Or maybe that’s just the beer.
and told Tori he heard about the threesome alliance without him, to which Tori responded, “Sweet!
Let me take this target and move it the hell off of me and onto Swati!”
Romeo then decided they should get rid of Swati instead.
SURVIVOR, EVERYONE!!!
Trouble at Tribal
Sensing she was in danger, Swati came out swinging at Tribal Council.
I mean, notliterally.
They kick you out for that sort of thing.
I don’t understand why folks don’t straight-up fib in these situations more.
It’s not like folks trust Tori.
Just dig in and hope they believe you more than her.
I don’t know.
But that’s what happens once folks start comparing notes.
Only Swati was technically outfifth.
And Boston Rob was actually outseventhin his first season.
And Boston Rob did not winAll-Stars.
Otherwise, amazing comparison!
A shame to see Swati go.
Not a super dynamic reality TV personality, but she played the damn game.
Sucks for her, but great for us.
Okay,myuniverse is about to implode if I don’t get the hell out of here.
But a few notes!
