Jeff did say before the season started that we would see a lot of blindsides!

Bet those bamboo sticks popping off when hot did
upset Ben. I know a guy that cant take 4th of July fireworks
. . Wonder if he will have any other episodes . I hope not.
or if he does I hope they don't have someone on there
that will think it be fun to antagonize him in some way (
making more popping noises etc)Anyway I was surprised tho who was voted off.

WEEKLY: You started the episode off with a super emotional
scene as Ben talked about his nightmares from what he
experienced while serving in the armed forces, using this
opportunity to show other veterans suffering from depression
and PTSD that "there's a way to life outside of all that
hell." What was it like when you saw that footage and saw
something that was clearly much bigger than the game?
JEFF
PROBST: I remember when Ben walked into casting. I
remember what he was wearing and I remember the reaction
after he left. We were all really drawn to his powerful
story but also his strong presence. Ben struck me as a
guy who knows who he is, knows who he wants to be and knows
what it will take for him to get there. His reason for
playing — to help other veterans — feels completely
authentic.I don't think he is grandstanding. I
think he really wants other vets to see in him what they can
have in their own life. To your question — one of the many
great things about the Survivor
format is the people playing the game are always
current. They are always "of the time." And if
we do it right, the players represent a cross-section of
America. So that creates the opportunity for moments like
this because this is what is happening in our
culture. I love these moments and I love that Ben is
willing to be so vulnerable and so open about what he has
been through and what he continues to deal with on a daily
basis.We
saw Dr. Mike and Jessica smartly looking for an idol in the
same spot on a different beach where Joe found his. Are you
all concerned that by putting idols in identical spots it
will increase the chance that one person can load up on
idols during merges and tribe swaps, like Tai did last
season?
Nope.Ryan
chose to keep a possible ally in Chrissy while getting rid
of a Healer (who have the most players still in the game)
in
Roark, but that meant pissing off another ally in Ali, who
may never trust him again. His other option would have been
to keep the peace with Ali, but that would have meant losing
a possible ally in Chrissy and keeping the Healers in a
power numbers position heading into a merge. What do you
make of Ryan's choices and his decision?
Ah,
another reason I love Survivor.
There are so many choices and dilemmas and layers to this
game. You know I rarely second guess a decision as much as
try to understand it. And I see why Ryan made this
decision. He has already invested in Chrissy with the
immunity idol from the marooning. He gains a lot by
getting rid of a Healer and he may have just sensed a better
long-term gain.What probably made that decision more
difficult is Ali. She's clearly a sharp player and he
already had a relationship with her. Boy, this game is
so easy to backseat drive. I'm definitely not saying Ryan
made the "right" choice. It could come back to haunt
him. I'm merely saying that I see the path to his
logic.
Judging
by the preview, it looks like a scary scene with Cole
next week. What can you say about what's coming up on Survivor?
Ah
yes, Cole. Well… 1.) Survivor
is real. People continue to question that no matter how
many times they see evidence. And 2.) Dr. Mike. He's
nutty. He's an underdog. But seeing him in the water
with a spear trying to catch a fish is one of my favorite
moments of the season.
