• Despite the twists, we liked this episode because the cast rules.
• The Survivor subreddit continues to be toxic.
• One of Josh's bold predictions about the merge was completely true.
• Was there a scramble if there's no tribal? We answer that existential question.
• Dave rushes Josh and Marc out the door.

• Knowledge is power, but is it too much power.
• Will Genie play again?
• And much, much more!

• Broccoli Brad is gone but he may live on via a new Twitter account.

• Josh thinks Xander was the better vote. Dave disagrees.
• Was Evvie playing too hard? Will her social game help her strategic decisions?
• And much, much more!
