Natalie was great this episode, she's coming into her own outside of twinnie-life. Julie/Jeremy will stick by her and if Alec knows what's good for him, he will too. A friend watching with me kept saying Jeremy is complaining too much and I'm like "dude, he's right, like eat some fruit off the tree and stop whining about being hungry" - they could have kept their tarp, waited 2 more days, won a reward (BBQ) and then oh look, a merge! More food instantly. Obviously you're never sure if there's a merge that soon, but there have only been 1-2 seasons in recent years where a merge happens as late as 10 folks left, so they must have known it was happening soon.
I was shocked Coyopa almost pulled off the upset, but it was good to see them rally against a lying Dale. Dale's mere presence ruined Kelley's game, so it was good to see him walk out the door after her. I'll be interested to see if John knew the idol was fake.
The singles have to keep Reed/Josh on their side somehow...or Reed needs to say "ummm I don't want this target on my back, bye Josh", because I think Keith really wants to reunite with Wes.
