Are you sick yet? Has the remorse of the sugar junkie finally taken hold? If so, let me assure you: Ive been there for a week already. Credit: Robert Voets/CBS Then we just start eating it all before Halloween even arrives. So Ive felt pretty gross since, like, Monday. Seriously, theyd probably prefer the dreaded box of raisins.) But Ive got just the medicine for you over-indulgers out there. A special Halloween recap of this weeksSurvivorepisode!...

At first, I couldnt quite put my finger on it. After all, it seems like pretty much any other season of the show. We have blindsides, and torch-snuffings, and #OrangeHatAlerts, and tears. The cast of ‘Survivor: David vs. Goliath’.Credit: CBS But there is one thing we have not had this season: the lull. Wheres the lull?!? Pretty much every season ofSurvivorhas one, even the great ones. So you sit there anxiously… waiting… waiting…....

And I do it. I was reminded of that during this latest episode, and it had nothing to do with any blindsides. It had nothing to do with the NatalieJeremy feud. Natalie Cole on ‘Survivor: David vs. Goliath’.Credit: Robert Voets/CBS It had nothing to do with the color ofJeff Probstshat. In fact, nobody even had to say anything to make this moment so special. And there were people being told to Come on in, guys!...

So, Ive got a deal Id like to make you. And its a pretty sweet deal, if I do say so myself. I promise this will be fair. The cast of ‘Survivor: David vs. Goliath’.Credit: CBS It seems like a lot Im giving up. You have a counter-offer? Youd prefer if I sat out a recap instead? Well, first of all, I assure you that you are far from the firstSurvivorfan to wish that....

Angelina just lostSurvivor:David vs. Goliath. Pack up that tent. All it took were 10 simple sentences. Credit: Robert Voets/CBS Ten sentences to forever ruin her chances of winning the game.So, theyve thrown your name out there. But Im the only person. I just wanted to be upfront with you, cause Ive gotten nothing but amazingness from you. I thought I had a different vote. We were locked in on someone, and then I come back and theyve flipped again....

We all kinda knew it. Or suspected it, at the very least. There was anecdotal evidence. Credit: David M. Russell/CBS There was circumstantial evidence. There was hearsay, rumor, and innuendo. The only thing we lacked were cold, hard facts. I mean, okay, maybe notallmen, but most of us are. And weve seen this onSurvivortime and time again. Quick, whats the dumbestSurvivormove of all time? Erik giving up immunity. Brandon giving up immunity....

From the moment he landed on the beach forSurvivor: Ghost Island, Domenick Abbate played big.Reallybig. Which jury votes surprised him? Does he regret not taking on Wendell at the fire-making contest himself? Domenick Abbate on ‘Survivor: Ghost Island’.CBS And just be real with me for a minute. Because Im not sure I would ever get over it.You know, its definitely disappointing. Theres no question in my mind, I know I left it all out there....

Plus, he blindsided Bradley in a controversial move. Not only that, but we have a bunch of exclusive merge photos for you to enjoy as well. Click through both pages to read the entire interview and see all the photos. Robert Voets/CBS ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First things first. I thought it looked good. No look, this last episode was action packed. Robert Voets/CBS There were a lot of different ways this episode could have been played out on television....

He started off the season as someone that had never left the country and seemed overwhelmed by his surroundings. He left as the Tribal Council bomb-thrower never afraid to mix it up. Donathan Hurley may not have wonSurvivor: Ghost Island,but he became a fan favorite along the way. CBS How frustrated was Donathan at not being able to make a move? Why did he vote for Wendell to win and not his big ally in Laurel?...

Here’s what they came up with. Aubry Bracco Get rid of the family visit. Because people play for the family visit instead of playing to win. Robert Voets/CBS I think there are certain goal-posts inSurvivor. You don’t want to be the first boot. You want to make it to the merge. Timothy Kuratek/CBS You want to make it to the end. There’s this funny spot, mid-merge, where people get exhausted....

I changed my wedding day to come out here. Is today Memorial Day? I was supposed to get married May 27 in the United States. Robert Voets/CBS And I got this call, “You’re onSurvivor!” We’d done sent out invitations, we’d done done everything. And we took it all back. Gavin Whitson on ‘Survivor: Edge of Extinction’.Timothy Kuratek/CBS We changed venues, sent out new invitations, got new everything. And I got married two days before flying out here, just so I could come play this game....

Victoria Baamonde I would really like to play with Cirie. I just feel like she’s such a mom figure, but an evil mom. She’s like mySurvivoridol since I’ve never been camping around the wild. Robert Voets/CBS I would also like to play with Rupert since he’s my number-one childhood hero. He was one of the real reasons I wanted to play the game. I guess I was around 9 or something when that season came out....

And then there are those that lie right out of the gate. Maybe its about their age. Or how much they know about the game. Or maybe its about all three! While some professed to be an open book, others werent quite so ready to spill the proverbial beans. Gavin WhitsonI think Im not like most super-fans. I typically dont fall into the look that they go for. So, Im gonna use that to my advantage....
