Survivor ThoughtsTom is kicking everybody's butt; he's gotta be the one person everybody's going to want to vote off first time he doesn't get immunity, because nobody wants to be in the three-person endurance test against him. He showed some smarts in the immunity challenge by making a snorkel out of his hands. He could be another Colby from the Outback, the guy who wins all or most of the individual challenges.
Steph and Janu had the starring roles at tribal council. It seemed fated that Steph was going to be voted off but Jeff goaded Janu into quitting. Steph has now survived an incredible 10 consecutive tribal councils without getting voted off, which surely is a record. There were a lot of scenes that looked like foreshadowing to me; for example, in the highlights of the prior episode they showed again Steph on her own the last night, commenting on how hard it was but that it would all be worth it in the end if she won.
Which of course probably means Burnett is trying to mislead us and Steph gets the axe next week. Nobody else looks ready to extinguish their own torch to save her, so she's definitely in trouble unless Tom somehow loses immunity, in which case things could get ugly for him suddenly.
