Five Drinks Into Reality TV Survivor Season 29 Blood vs. Water 2 San Juan Del Sur Week 3

Tom's Take:

The entire John Rocker saga played out this week and it was...honestly kind of ho hum. I didn't love anything really about this episode, and I'm starting to worry that the editors are really giving the winner away, which if true means this season is going to be real boring. Here's hoping I'm wrong about that.





Coyopa Tribe







1. Nadiya


1st Episode: 1st Boot







2. Josh


Josh is one of three people who I believe has a chance to win the game. The problem is that he's on the wrong team, and that his other half is getting no screen time which is why I don't think he'll be such a powerful player after the merge. As for right now, Josh made an interesting choice trying to keep Baylor over the last three episodes, and instead voting out John Rocker, thus breaking up the guys' alliance. I actually don't think this is a good move for Josh, since John was way more loyal than Baylor is to him now. I think Josh is on a weak tribe, so when we get to the merge his spot is going to be blown up.

3. Alec

Alec just went with the vote this week, solidifying his place as an absolutely forgettable player this season.

4. Val



1st Episode Prediction: Early Boot
2nd Boot





5. Wes

I continue to like Wes, and he got the first win for his tribe of the season. Does Wes have a chance to win this season? Probably not, but he is one of the few distinctive players this season for me. I also notice that he seems to have a good relationship with Baylor which could end up helping him in the future.

6. John Rocker

John Rocker was a dud. We got a little bit of really forced drama, but otherwise the guy was boring. He got voted out with an idol in his pocket which is interesting, but the guy wasn't really bringing anything to the table on a gameplay perspective. I'm glad he's gone.

Girl spoke in Tribal! And she was dumb...

8. Dale


I love Dale. He is a great cheerleader for his tribe, but he is doomed now that this young person alliance has been formed.

9. Baylor


I really like Baylor, and she has an outside chance of winning based on the editing, and what a story that would be considering her current place in the tribe. She escaped another vote this week, I would love to see her go on to win this season, but I just don't know if it is possible.


1st Episode Prediction: Winner!

Hunahpu Tribe






10. Natalie

She spent a lot of time yelling at John Rocker this week. I think that put her on great footing with Jeremy though, so she'll do well this season, but she's not winning.

11. Drew


I guess he's lazy? The tribe doesn't seem to be very pro Drew.

12. Jeremy


I think Jeremy is going to win.

2nd Episode Prediction: Winner

Meh.

14. Julie


Julie benefits from John Rocker leaving the island, which amounts to her once again having a chance to win this game. Not a great chance, but I at least know who she is on screen.

15. Jon


Guy is kind of an idiot. Probably won't last long in this game.

16. Keith

The first loser on this tribe, I wonder if he will end up finding that idol?

17. Missy


Missy supporting Julie showed solid game play on her part, and I'm interested if she might develop into a stronger player later in the season.
