Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 26 Episode 9 "Cut the Head off the Snake"


Tom's Take:

Are we at Jury yet? This episode was crazy. Just crazy. I loved it.





So here are our players. 




1. Andrea: 175 Points.

 Andrea had a great episode even though the editors gave her a panicked edit. She forced her alliance to take the safe route because she found out she was on the chopping block. It's official, I'm switching over to Andrea winning this thing. Hell I'm even rooting for her at this point, since Cochran is an attention whore and Dawn cries too much.
