It worked as Dan, Dean, Janet, and Elaine all chose to sit.

But I give a lot of credit to Lauren with the way she persuaded the others.

I loved that visit because it spoke to a key part of playingSurvivor.

SURVIVOR: Island of the Idols

Robert Voets/CBS

Have you noticed a change in her demeanor and fight out there?Its a really great observation.

That was one of the most powerful scenes of the season.

When a player discovers that kind of clarity, its really potent.

There is another possibility, and that is that Karishma does what works for Karishma.

Its possible she just doesnt see the same value in putting her energy into those kinds of tasks.

I think others might have engineered to be voted out.

But despite constant conflict, she has not backed down.

That says a lot and as you said, with each day she is gaining momentum.

You all had a very funny moment of Sandra getting attacked by a chicken this week.

As a result, we leave a lot of amazing stuff on the floor.

What theyre doing is not easy.

People often forget thatSurvivorhappens in real time.

They have to get it right the first time, and they have, every single time.

In addition, they are giving us massive amounts of funny material… most of which we cant use.

Theyre like Laurel and Hardy.

Or Spade and Farley.

Or Martin and Aykroyd!

And the shelter is insane!

Rob has built something weve never seen before!

Only two more episodes left before the finale.

Hit us with a tease for next week.Its time for love.

And as always… those who get love are happy… and those who dont… arent.
