There’s always plenty to be thankful for in any Survivor episode
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I hope you are all getting ready to stuff your faces full of stuffing.
So just be thankful for stuffing.

And, as always, be thankful forSurvivor.
TheSurvivorgods have smiled upon us providing 35 seasons of incredible televised drama.
(Well, 34 seasons, plusSurvivor: Nicaragua.)
How lucky are we to have a show that can continue to delight and deliver after so many years?
There was nothing particularly difficult or dangerous about it, but damn if it didnt look fun.
I was immediately jealous.
I Am Thankful for Shared Secrets That BackfireMemo to all futureSurvivorplayers: People talk.
You should always assume that anything you tell anyone will be shared.
Ryan may end up learning this lesson the hard way.
It began when he told Devon, I have an idol in my pants.
This begs a few questions.
First off, why wont Ryan take the idol out of his pants?
Has he been eating, sleeping, swimming and competing with an idol in his pants this whole time?
It seems a bit excessive, no?
Like, put it in your bag or go bury it already.
You dontneedto keep it in your pants unless youre trying to impress the ladies, I suppose.
Also, why tell Ben?
What does that get you?
Well, thats not entirely true.
And I would gauge his reaction.
If he said, No, just you, then I would know he could not be trusted.
But if he said, Oh, man.
And so when Jeff Probst promised another brand newSurvivortorture unit, I could not have been happier.
The fact that this particular immunity challenge also forced everyone to pose in super awkward positions was a bonus.
Players had a bar resting on their shoulders, forcing them into an uncomfortable squatting position.
If they went too low, their flag would pop.
If they went too high, their urn would drop.
So, essentially, they had to stand like Goldilocks and hope it wasjuuuuuuuustright.
Their pain was our gain.
What do you do?
Three more days, in fact.
Now, Im not saying Ben was making the right move by targeting Cole.
And Im also not saying that his entire alliance wanted Joe out.
Not everyone was on board.
From a viewers perspective, Ashley and Chrissy would seem to be right.
Challenge performance aside, Cole does not appear to be the threat that Joe is.
However, Ben for some reason doesnt want him out.
At least not yet.
On the flip side, itisa good look rocking that hat all season.
Plus, look at all the sun protection Ben is getting out of that thing.
Smart choice inSurvivorheadwear practicalandstylish!
for leaving Joe in the game if they found him so offensive.
I honestly have no clue what the hell he is talking about.
First of all, do those timelines even match up, because Im pretty sure they dont?
Also, calling out a USA versus England battle is the most preposterous thing Ive ever heard.
Everybody knows that is the theme for season 37.
Dont take a stab at swipe 2018s hype, Sex Doctor!
What in the name of the American Revolution was this guy up to?
After everyone voted, Sex Doctor made the proclamation that I think Americas going to stay one more day.
WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!?!
What is this, freakinHomeland?
In fact, Sex Doctor and Joe…both voted for Cole!
So what was the point of it all?
Ben told Sex Doctor before Tribal that Cole was going home.
Sex Doctor was not trying to flip the script in any way.
Thats not a rhetorical question.
I seriously cannot figure it out.
There must be an angle Im missing here because Sex Doctor does not seem like a dummy.
(Also confusing apparently: How to spell the name Cole.
Ben went for the alternate spelling of C-O-A-L.
Okay, youve hidden from your family long enough.
Or maybe you havent.
If the latter is true, feel free to watch the exclusive deleted scene from last nights episode above.
ET, so double-check to listen there and then for that.
And for moreSurvivorintel, follow me on Twitter@DaltonRoss.
Did they make the right move in getting rid of Cole instead of Sex Doctor or Joe?
Is Devon jumping the gun by turning on Ryan?
And is stuffing the best thanksgiving side dish of all time?
