Current and former players shared their thoughts on the events of this week’s episode of Survivor and on Rudy Boesch’s death.
One fun element ofIsland of the Idolsis watching Boston Rob and Sandra’s reactions to each Tribal Council. Seeing how respected castaways view the events of aSurvivorepisode and how they view particular players can be entertaining to follow. With there being such a largeSurvivorfanbase on Twitter, previous and current castaways often share their opinions about the episode.
I do have to say that so far, thisIsland of the Idolscast is shaping up to be one of the quietest group on Twitter in quite some time. While contestants fromDavid vs. GoliathandEdge of Extinctionmade a lot of noise on social media, this latest group of castaways have been present but not too active.
After the entireincident with Alec Merlinothat kept him from attending the reunion show, I could see why that’s the case, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. That said, a few members of this 39th class still shared a few comments onepisode 7, along with other players including some all-time greats.Jason Lindenwho got blindsided last week was quick to chime in.

Unintentionally poking fun at theApplebee’s rewardfrom a few weeks ago has been a mainstay so far.
This week’sIsland of the Idolsvisit drew a lot of attention. Maybe you picked up on Boston Rob hugging Janet, but Sandra simply giving a handshake. The two-time winner explained why she actually couldn’t hug Janet.
I wasn’t allowed to hug@Carbin39I had an allergic reaction from some branches I removed while building the shelter and ended up with horrible pus filled blisters. My arms were burning, swollen and feverish. The doctors changed my bandages every single day for more than a week

The flashback to Chris Underwood’s big move last season got some of theEdge of Extinctioncast into it.

SURVIVOR IS THE BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION. That was one of the most amazing hours of TV I’ve ever seen. Real, raw, powerful. A fitting tribute to the life of Rudy Beosch, who helped start these conversations 20 years ago.#Survivor#Survivor39

The Survivor family has lost a legend. Rudy Boesch passed at the age of 91.
— Jeff Probst (@JeffProbst)November 3, 2019
He played in the first season of Survivor at the age of 72. He is one is the most iconic and adored players of all time.
And he served our country as a 45-year Navy SEAL.
Rudy is a true American hero.pic.twitter.com/IJxELbcthH
Was lucky enough to meet Rudy once. He told me to get a haircut.

RIP to the OG
It’s amazing howIsland of the Idolsfollowed up a great episode last week with maybe even a better one this week! The combination of smart, strategic gameplay with unique personalities who aren’t afraid to talk about sensitive topics has given this season a thoroughly entertaining pre-merge game. Hopefully, that trend will continue as the two tribes become one.
