Survivor 32: Doctors Losing Patience -- Episode 6 Recap/Analysis


With the merge right around the corner, we're back today to discuss who's looking good as the game hits the halfway point and who needs a shoulder to stand on. Now that Peter's been lobotomized, are the Brains better off staying united or using their massive frontal lobes to come up with a fresh game plan?  After being decimated by variance, how might the Beauties rebound from here? And as the presumed swing votes for the time being, how can the Brawn tribe maintain that coveted position? All that and more below, here, or on iTunes here.

But why did Liz end up taking the fall, and is an early exit atypical for her? Plus, with a medevac and probable swap looming, who's best poised to reach across the aisle for a new bipartisan majority? All that and more below, here, or on iTunes here.
