I think Nick voted for Kim because he was worried about Tyson having an idol and needed to throw a vote elsewhere in case he did and Tyson voted for him. Smart hedge I'd say.Back in the day players cared about performing in challenges. Nowadays, not so much. Like failing in a challenge often got you voted out in the early seasons but now no one remembers the challenge after. Obviously in a season like this it's going to be more tactical than that. It is annoying to watch Sandra sit out challenge after challenge but she just isn't that good in them so it is also a good move for her tribe.
Speaking of challenges, pretty brutal one on extinction island. That climb to the top was quite hard and having to do it for 20 times while being malnourished and dehydrated is rough. I'm happy that Ethan wasn't evacuated, he is just so much fun. Natalie continues her domination.
Surprised to see almost a unanimous vote again, people really wanted Tyson gone. The fact that Nick voted for Kim tells that there was more gameplay going on that we didn't see. Tyson should do well on extinction, he is still in good shape and he can figure out clues. Surprised that he gave his token to Nick. I don't necessarily think that voting out Tyson is a bad move by Sandra. Sandra doesn't trust Tyson and he did talk about voting out Tony and Sandra before so that was problematic. She is again crawling towards the merge and she could go far if she makes it.
It sucks to see another older school player get voted out as the new schooler are going to be dominating the season soon. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

Why is Sandra allowed to sit out all of the challenges? I know she's bad at them and it's probably in the best interest of the tribe, but I always thought that you could only sit out 1 or certainly not 2 or more in a row.
The rule has been you cannot sit out a reward challenge as well as an immunity challenge (within the same episode). Since they only have one challenge for both now, it does not matter. They do not strictly just do reward challenges that often now because they want that air time allocated to other scenes.Why is Sandra allowed to sit out all of the challenges?

I didn't know that, how is Sandra going to win if she doesn't show to others that she's a complete player?The rule has been you cannot sit out a reward challenge as well as an immunity challenge (within the same episode).

I know, it's crazy that she's won twice and is only good at the social part of the game. What I meant by complete player was someone who contributes to all aspects of the game, to win Survivor you should be good at all parts, Sandra is a rare exception and it's beyond me how she's won twice.What do you mean by complete player?
If part of it means being good at challenges, she's never been good at challenges and has won twice
3 teams of 5 now, she can't sit out. So she will lose. And go home.

I'm not denying her great social game, the rest of her game is terrible, which is why it's so baffling that she's not only won once, but twice.What makes Sandra a good player is that she almost always makes sure she's on the correct side of the vote
That's a credit to her social game and a lot of survivor players who have played with her says that she's great at reading players
She's also not fake. She is who she is. Players respect that.
Sandra is definitely a rare exception as her game is really not replicable

Red tribe has the possibility of a terrible tribal.
Sandra - idol (expiring after her next tribal)
Kim - idol (assuming she got the other half back)
Denise - idol
Jeremy safety without power
Tony - could be in trouble
If Jeremy feels like he's on the bottom and skips out on tribal then Denise will definitely play hers. Sandra pretty much has to play hers as its expiring. If only she and Tony are vulnerable then Kim definitely plays hers. Tony goes home even if he doesn't get any votes.
Rob just doesn't know how to adapt, that was an embarrassing display.
