Description

Nick and Dan break down this CHALLENGE HEAVY EPISODE. What does an episode being centered on challenges mean?

  • General reactions

    • Audience starting to turn on the episode?

    • Challenge

      1. A celebration of strength

      2. Music during the smack talk

      3. Joe and David talked fatherhood

    • The boots themselves? Eh

    • Split tribal - is it good or bad?

  • Themes and stories

    • Answering the call

    • Attacking the game vs. playing fearful

      1. Throwing people under bus

    • Listening  - communication pathways? 

    • Secrets vs bringing people together

    • Partnerships!!!!!

    • Family - and parenting!

    • Working with women vs men

    • Being Wrong About People  / perception / what someone brings to the island

    • Humble Traits

    • THINKERS AND DECEIVERS VS LOYALTY AND STRENGTH

      1. “Our plan is to start building a team– myself, Eva, Shauhin, David and Kyle– all the physical threats, but also honest and loyal players. ‘Cause the game doesn’t have to be this new generation of stabbing people in the back and doing crazy moves just for the pizzazz.”

    • New school versus old school

      1. Sharing, physicality, outplay

  • THINKERS:

    1. Kamilla - revisit her intro - prop bet: Kyle lets Kamilla go and gets called a coward for being afraid to save her

    2. Chrissy - super strategist now!

  • Limbo

    1. Mary - becoming more team physical, wants to be with those people

    2. Star - becoming more strategic?

    3. Shauhin - no one trusts him even though he’s talking honesty and strategy 

  • Physical threats: 

    1. Kyle - fails to attack the game and walls close in (losing finalist - dan)

    2. Mitch - brand new person? Prop bet: really important to how the season plays out

    3. Eva - Could she be Carolyn?

    4. David - talks about being a parent like Joe

    5. Joe
