The rain was, as you say, pounding.
And it was not letting up.
And by 10:30 p.m. the tribes had their tarp and our teams were heading back to bed.

But for us, I am so proud to say, it really was just another Tuesday night.
What do you think?
Whats the reason for the David struggles?
Its just the game.
You know as well as anyone, Dalton, it is an absolute ass-kicker.
It can quickly overwhelm and swallow you up, so you have to continue to fight.
Bi is 100 percent correct there are lots of angles, lots of ways to playSurvivor.
Jessica lied about her age, not wanting people to know she was a teenager.
And she certainly did not play timidly.
But she also appeared to get a little too comfortable, leading to her blindside.
We wanted her a year ago, but the theme didnt fit.
So we waited, and the minute we knew we were doingDavid vs. Goliath,we called her back.
This was our first look at the new Tribal Council set.
Every year the bar seems higher than the last year.
This year Dax designed something that just blew my mind.
And Ill tell you something… when you walk into tribal it feels GIGANTIC.
It feels like its hovering over you.
There is no way anything good could have ever taken place in that space.
And one of their strengths is using the existing environment to their advantage.
Instead of cutting down a large beautiful tree, they just build it right into the set.
And while hes doing that, Zach is overseeing the construction of all the challenges.
Challenge builds have their own nutty schedule of deadlines to contend with.
Its a freakin three-ring circus at times and yet they manage to always get the job done in time.
Okay, tease time!
Its only week three, but its game on, full tilt boogie.
