Survivor: Gabon - Episode 1706
Belated Redux!
Obviously, Dr. H already gave a quick synopsis, but I wanted to add some quick thoughts. Forgive my tardiness.
- While Matty was fashioning the ring to remind him of his girlfriend, my thought process:
- I wonder if she's watching this with him right now?
- Did being away in a remote location for ~3 weeks convince him that she is the one and only girl for him, causing him to give her a ring after he got home?
- I wonder if she slept with his roommate while he was in Gabon?
- The flag assembly portion of the Immunity Challenge was perfectly symbolic of the Kota-Fang divide. For Fang, Ace is the only Survivor who touches the puzzle pieces, whereas everyone at Kota is helping out! Gotta love how JProbst calls them out on that even during the challenge!
- Speaking of Jeff, I wish he would narrate my life, constantly dispensing sage advice just like at Tribal Council. I can just see him standing beside my poster presentation at a conference, wryly observing "Corinne obviously did not believe that last piece of data!"
- Is Sugar playing the game smartly or not? I cannot tell whatsoever.
- Is it pronounced Gah-bone or Gah-bahn? I thought the former, but the CBS voiceover before the episode says the latter.
- In the intro, this season's montage only shows the remaining Survivors. In past seasons, haven't they always shown everyone? If there is anyone who remember a detail like this, it is AH.
CORRIGENDUM:
Spell Check:Right: 5
Wrong: 1 (Kelli - by Ace. Though to be fair, he can't even speak right - how can we expect him to spell?)
Other: 0
If AH disagrees, this is his chance to throw the red flag and we'll let Ed Hochuli review the tape.

Thanks for filling in Dr. Graham. I don't have the tape but I will defer to you on the spelling. Ace probably would have pronounced it wrong anyway. Damn that British Isles accent. The record will be corrected.
I do think that in the past they have showed all of the Survivors in the intro montage. Although, there may have been a few cases where once they merged they dropped out the pre-merge cuts. Jeff might be able to add to this conversation.
I also thought Ga-bone. I found two pronunciations online and they don't seem to agree either. Here's the IPA (no not that kind) pronunciation /gaˈbɔ̃/
