She is talking about being a mom.


She has better rhetoric, that's for sure.

My problem is less with Ben sharing his story and more the editing tossing in the swell of soulful music and the shot of the jury solemnly nodding along. It's blatant exploitation of the story. It's entertainment media glorifying combat vets as a feel good puff piece.

The reunion has been a constant downhill since the end of Action Jeff so they shortened it down.

Future generations might actually look back on this as the moment Survivor jumped the shark.

Survivor jumped the shark like 15 years ago when the outcasts cane back on Pearl Islands.

They really need to change the rule that an idol gets added back in right after its used. It's dumb not just because of what happened this season but that people know to look for an idol right after one is used. They need to change it up in some way.

I haven't watched that many seasons, but of what I have watched it's felt like this is the most I've seen production seem to favor one player.

This is worse than the time that girl who was virtually never on the show beat Aubrey. That was just a failure on the editors, but this is just blatant favoritism by the producers.

Regarding idol dominance: I get the argument that "other people should know to look for the idols!" but at a certain point the producers have to recognize an idol-centric season gets tiresome and tends to advantage one specific contestant.

It's still first and foremost a TV show, and I dunno who at this point is entertained by someone running off into the jungle by themselves to find a painted rock for the fourth time. The idol is not an immutable part of Survivor gameplay, so switch it up once it's gotten tiresome
