Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 26 Episode 6 "Operation Thunder Dome"

Tom's Take:



The game shifted this week, but not for the better. The Favorites were crushing the Fans, and now....They're just flat out embarrassing them. Now we don't even have fun competitions. It's just going to be a massacre.

So here are our players. 




1. Andrea: 105 Points.

Andrea is on the most stacked tribe in Survivor History. And she can get Sherri on her side with girl power. I don't know why though, but I feel like Guy Power is going to end up being the difference in the game.

Pre-Season Prediction: Early Boot.
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
3rd Episode Prediction Early Boot.
4th Episode Prediction: Late Juror.
5th Episode Prediction: Late Juror.
6th Episode Prediction: Early Juror.


2. Brandon Hantz:  161 Points.

Yeah. So Brandon is a bit bi-polar. I feel like Survivor somewhat exploited him, and that's sort of sad.

Preseason Prediction: Pre-Merge
1st Episode Prediction: Early Boot
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Boot
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
4th Episode Prediction: I think he's being taken out of the game next week.
5th Episode Quit.


3. Brenda: 97 points.

Brenda is hot, but it's clear she won't win the game. They just refuse to give her any air time other than being hot.

Preseason Prediction: Winner
1st Episode Prediction: Winner (but probably not for long.)
2nd Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge Boot
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
4th Episode Prediction: Late Juror
5th Episode Prediction: Late Juror
6th Episode Prediction: Late Juror.



4. Corinne: 150 Points.

Corinne dominated this episode. Her tribe lost, but she finally emerged as the star of this second arc of the show. I look forward to her clashing with Phillip and I hope she beats him.

6. Erik: 83 Points

 Erik is rightfully distrusting of Reynold. Other than that he makes a part of the most dominant tribe in Survivor History.
