Five Drinks Into Survivor Season 29: Blood v. Water 2 San Juan Del Sur Episodes 11 and 12

Tom's Take:

These two episodes were pretty meh, but they really set up a finale where I think anything can happen.

Merged Tribe

1. Jaclyn


Wow, Jaclyn got the edit of a bad player during this two parter. For absolutely no reason she decided to try and switch up the game, and when Jon (correctly) told her to just cool it, she pitched a fit and gave him the silent treatment. Awful gameplay, and her initial purple edit prevents me from seeing her as any kind of potential winner.

2. Baylor


I love Baylor. I think she is very hot, and although I'm sure people have reasons for thinking Baylor is a brat, I find being a brat to actually be endearing. Also, I think Baylor has the worst situation out there since being with your mom and getting others to think you're a good survivor player are pretty much mutually exclusive things. Baylor is probably not going to win, but I'm a fan, and I do really like her friendship with Natalie, and want one of those two girls to win.

3. Jon


Jon is going to win this season. He is getting a clear winner's edit, he has an idol making it really hard to vote him out, and the show is making it clear that he is constantly playing the game. He is focusing on making sure the jury credits him for his moves, and he is keeping Jaclyn from ruining their game, trying to keep them on the course.

4. Keith

Ugh...I hate Keith as a player and character on this show. He is awful, has no strategy, and is pretty misogynistic. But unfortunately, there is a chance for him based purely on the edit...Ugh...

5. Missy


Is Missy going to medevaced? I hope not, because she is someone with a shot at the game, at least in theory. She should be a factor at least, but instead I think she'll be a lone jury vote for Baylor.

6. Natalie

I love Natalie, but she made an odd move voting out Alec over Keith. It "could" pay off, but I just think she was splitting hairs.

7. Reed

Poor Reed got screwed at the beginning of the season by the editors. He was a player in this game, and he deserved to be edited to be someone that had a shot.

8. Alec

Poor Alec. I still want to know what the Alec/Baylor relationship will amount to. Will Baylor be pissed at Natalie?
