Just watched it. Yeah, I realize that they wanted this to be the toughest season to date....but that was really too much.
I don't think those kind of grueling challenges are appropriate for the climate, not when there's three heat casualties including a life-threatening heat stroke.
I do agree that Probat should have dropped the drama llama act and let EMS do their jobs. Hello Jeff, there was already plenty of drama. Caleb was going to probably fucking die without intervention.
All that being said, I was on the edge of my seat during that sequence. It's heady drama for sure, but I hope it's a one-time thing.
As far as Alicia goes, meh, it pretty much had to be her and everyone knew it. While it may not have been entirely her fault, her remaining on the tribe was going to be toxic. The other three just could not stand her. It will be interesting to see if the three remaining Brawnies can pull it together. I kind.of want to root for them - being underdogs - but my inclination is to root for the Brains.
I wouldn't be surprised to see see tribes consolidate to two next week, and a merge at 12. I don't recall off the top of my head when they have done merges and such with 6x3 tribes.
