Another boring promo. Does this mean the blue collars continue to pagong everyone? Rodney's not going anywhere yet, he still has to have his showdown with Mike, so since Will is the biggest goat, Tyler or Carolyn goes home?

P.S. I still haven't watched last week's episode! If it weren't for this community, I probably wouldn't watch the rest of the season. Not exactly what I expected when this season started!

LAST EDITED ON 05-05-15 AT 01:27 PM (EST)

You WILL watch Survivor this week!!!

Even for a Survivor paint-by-numbers episode it was badly edited.

Shirin scrambled, had too much fun for this mean bunch.

Big bacon cheeseburgers! Dan the orphan is the sole blue collar in his orphan alliance.

Rodney was emotional. Made a bad move with Sierra.

A chicken died

Tyler was dumb at Dan but Dan was dumber back. Carolyn schemed to keep Dan dumb

Tyler raided Dan's bag and absolutely nothing interesting happened as a result.

Will reiterated his sincere inhumanity at TC.

Mike bluffed with his idol. Very well timed better than average bluff, really.

Haha thanks guys. Watching it now!

Transcript by SurvivorFever.net:

John Kirhoffer: This challenge is Dulcimer Stomp. Our tribe will come out and divide into two teams of three. One person not chosen will not participate. Our two teams will start at a maypole where they will connected by belts to three ribbons up at the top of a very tall maypole. Once they've unspun the maypole, a ring will be released from the very top of the maypole and slide down into one of their hands. Then they will race over to this large frame where they will use puzzle pieces in the shape of ladder rungs to form a ladder to the top. Up there is a bag of balls. They will use the key to unlock the balls. Then they will all make their way over to this very tight net line. They will have to crawl through. It's very scratchy. At that point one player from each team will launch balls from a catapult into each of five targets. First team to get a ball in each of the five targets wins.

Not another basketball challenge?! What's up with the challenges this season. I feel like practically every single one is either a basketball type of challenge or an endurance challenge....just sayin'!

This challenge has to be the RC so Rodney/Carolyn/Dan lose? So, Mike, Sierra, Tyler win, no one picks Will?

I'm more upset by the many steps to the challenge. There won't be any time in camp for anything but Rodney's tantrum.

As for the reward winners, I think you've nailed it, FP. Rodney HAS to lose and we see him in camp with Dan and Carolyn. I hope Probst was especially mean to Boowhoo-day Rod and announced that there would be chocolate cake for desert!

Carolyn and Tyler hugging. Notice Carolyn is the IC has just her necklace on(not the II) but in that pick it looks like she has something layered over the necklace. And why would Carolyn hug Mike if he won the immunity?

And I was right. Dead giveaway CBS.

Beginning of immunity challenge

And Rodney is still whining about his birthday. He and Tyler are struggling; Carolyn has it on lock down.

I imagine this is between Carolyn and Mike...again.

Yup! I've had enough of these endurance challenges!

It looks like one of those pseudo-humanitarian rewards.

When Rod finally gets a reward (if he actually does this week), he will have to act out the EPMB's transparent attempt to portray the show as philanthropic, and give a truck load of gifts to kids from local village while they reward our lovable beach rats with an indigenous dance.

This would not be what Rod thinks he deserves on his birthday.

A Tribal Whoopee! We're all gonna fry.
