Fishbach can't find any common ground with anyone. You'd think someone who has been punditing for so many seasons would do better than that. You could put Parvati out there with a troop of ourangoutangs and she'd be directing all their moves within a week, much less a group of actual humans.
He's not my favorite, for sure.

I don't understand how Abbi was popular enough to be voted back on this show. She is so arrogant and that look of scorn on her face all the time, she's evil.
So far I haven't found one person to tag onto as a favorite yet. Too early to tell. I thought Spencer seems to be a nice kid, maybe.

I knew after episode 1 that Shirin's #1 mistake was having an alliance with both PG and Abi who weren't getting along. Abi alone was going to be hard. In Shirin's post interviews she talks a lot about trying to keep Abi controlled. Shirin claims she just ran out of energy for it all basically. She blames a lot of that on her past season (still talks about that a lot). IDK, seems to me that Spencer and the rest of the alliance should have equal responsbilities for keeping Abi solid, don't know why it all fell on Shirin (at least that's the impression I got).

I think Varner is really entertaining and like him so far but he's flipped..once or twice? already. That's going to be a problem, no one is going to trust him. I sort of hope he doesn't end up on the Abi tribe because anyone stuck with her is going to have trouble. I would love to see Kass and Abi on the same tribe. Talk about chaos

I was a little annoyed by Spencer's big speech about he was going to be all about relationships and people and Probst's straining to make a big deal about behavior the second time around. One Spencer knew the votes were pretty much decided by the time they got there so that was all for the show's benefit. Jeff keeps them there talking and digging until they have enough material for editing. And Probst did sound strained. Almost like he was already sick of it or something. It all felt very staged and fake.

Wish we had seen more of Banyon. I have no idea of what those people are like really, 2 episodes and they got almost zero airtime.

Like the season so far, everybody acting like adults pretty much except for Abi who I suspect is sort of insecure. Maybe has trust issues or something that lead her to get paranoid in a situation like Survivor.

I agree with you.

He totally deserves her, and I hope she creates as much chaos for him as she did her poor last alliance.
