I have seen every season of Survivor and this is the worst display of Jeff Probst manipulating the game that I have ever seen. He did it at the water challenge, he knew he could get Janu to quit early. Then he got people to laugh at her.
The tribal council was a sham. Probst definitely caught wind of the fact that Steph was going and he wants to keep Steph in the game. She is a fierce competitor. And he hates people who don't care. But Janu did not come to tribal council with a mind to quit. Jeff played a head trip on her like I have never seen to get the outcome he wanted. Poor!!
The rest of the episode was fine. I knew right away Tom would win the immunity, being a fireman and more mature than everyone else he had the staying power. Next immunity challenge will probably be mental. I don't think Steph will talk the girls into going after the guys. Let's face it they provide all the food and the girls would not want to be stuck with Stephanie, she is too strong. See you all next week.

This Survivor Season has been the most depressing one ever. Watching Ulong lose every week was like watching someone shooting baby ducks in a barrel.

Stephanie has worked really hard in all the challenges, and is the best looking female so in terms of ratings, I could see wanting to keep her around over some of the other women. This is the first Survivor season in which I can remember some of the players gaining weight, instead of losing weight.

I liked Tom and Ian until I saw how quickly they folded to Gregg when he wanted to vote Stephanie off. I hope Stephanie pulls it off next week for the women to start getting rid of the men.

Plus, it will be interesting to see if Jeff inserts himself into things again, or if this was a one time save for Stephanie.

I disagree. I'm glad Jeff manipulated the outcome. Janu many not have gone into council ready to lay down her torch, but she was ready to leave. Considering that, and the fact that Stephanie wanted and deserved to stay, I'm glad he talked her into it. And it will make for a much better ending. This is the kind of thing that makes the show worth watching.

And let me be the first to say this: I think Tom was ready to give Steph the immunity necklace. She has the heart of a warrior and more game than any of the guys except for Tom. Tom could have given her the necklace knowing that, without time for the others to compare notes, they would have knocked off the obvious target, Janu. If it had been me I know I would have done it. To my way of thinking not only would it have been the right thing to do, it would have been the most memorable moment in Survivor history.

Stephanie rocks!

My husband and I thought that Jeff was great. He did manipulate the game, but that's part of it. You have to be strong mentally.

They are trying hard to make the weak ones go away this time, and I am quite happy about it!
