I cut the cable a couple months ago so this will be my first time having to watch it live with commercials in a long long time.

Looking forward to it.  

I can appreciate the cable cutting, but I don't think I could go back to watching commercials.  Good luck with that.

Thanks for the heads up.  :)

   I'm going to try to watch from the start this time. Got in late on the last one but did get to see the finish. I hope this one is equally as interesting to follow.

Survivor is my test case for cutting the microwave beam. Only one criterion matters WWW Will Wife Watch.

I've been trying various streaming services and comparing them to Dish Network our current service. It's hard to beat an interface you know. Direct TV Now could not deliver, but they gave me a partial refund  and I keep the Apple TV 4 on promotion . We have enough iStuff to make that work. It replaced an Apple TV 3. 

We are trying YouTube TV they have Survivor, but it may have non-skippable commercials. You can supposedly yell "I want to watch Survivor in the living room" at Siri. We shall see. WWW.

I've never had a cord to cut.  We added streaming through a Roku a couple of years ago, and it works pretty good.  I wanted it mainly for college football.  We have Sling, and it gives a good signal.  We also added Hulu, as they carry the Big Ten Network.  Sling delivers a better signal, and is cheaper.

We still watch regular broadcasts.  CBS is one that doesn't add many programs to Hulu.  They're trying to sell access to their programs through their own site.  I have found that there is usually a full episode on You Tube that you can watch for free.

Would someone like to explain to me what happened last night?

Roxie

Morgan actually was responsible for sending for sending herself home.  

Four purple team and four orange team were now in that tribe.  The orange team decided they would vote Morgan, and all four struck to it.  The purple team decided to vote Libby, and three of them did, except Morgan, who wanted Angela out because she was loyal to Chris (who is out on Ghost Island).  So Morgan not following the plan, left only three votes for Libby, and the orange team victorious.  It should have come down to a rock draw to see who left, but thanks to Morgan not doing the math, she paid the price.

I am so enjoying this whole group of Survivors!

Thank you, Roxie.  So that's the bad decision.

Pretty predictable last night.  Right one went home in my book.  Chris sure impressed with his pitching abilities in the reward challenge.  Did he ever miss?  Why did no one hunt for an idol?  At least they didn't show anyone hunting.

Our weather warning ended at 7:45 (no tornado) so we got to watch the "tribal".  We saw a tribe vote off one of it's stronger players so they will probably be back.

I missed a couple of episodes and went to the CBS website and looked up Survivor.  I think they'll let you get 3 episodes for free.  I didn't pay anything for the 2 that I saw.  You'll still have to watch some advertisements.   :-\

   I'm happy with tonight's vote. I figured Desi stirred up so much stuff folks were tired of her and it backfired. I thought they should have voted her off 3-4 episodes back when she messed up the puzzle completion for her team. I figure Michael is real happy but also figure his days are numbered.

   I was happy seeing Laurel stay in. She seems pretty decent and a good player. I am surprised Donathon has survived this long but I think he almost blew it this time. I believe everybody thought he was no threat before so never worried about him. I thought Wendel was very classy about losing the immunity even though he finished first. Both he and Laurel are to be commended for the way they handled that I think. Hated to see Kelyn (?) go. I thought she was pretty classy - I'd have booted Dom off instead.

Dom turned out to be a better player than I first thought he would be.
When Donathan told Wendel that he would vote for Dom when he was in the jury, he was saying what I've been thinking for weeks now.  Dom has had a consistent game and been on top in his tribe from day one.  Every player left is and has been riding his coattails.  Why haven't they gone after him?  They acted like it would be a bold move to vote Wendel out?  Why not Dom?  He didn't have immunity and Donathan was the only one brave and contrary enough to write Dom's name in the tribal council vote. 
Desiree attempted a mutiny weeks ago and ended up on the jury.  I look for Donathan to be joining her before the women left get the boot.  This season is putting me to sleep it's been so boring and predictable.

I believe both Wendel and Dom both have immunity idols.

I guess Dom did not think about the possibility of a tie.  If he had brought Angela, she would have voted for him in the event of a tie.  But, then again, there would not have been a tie had Laurel been on the jury and voted for Wendell as a jurist.  A very interesting ending.
