OMG she's worse than Coach.
Wait wait wait... The two of them should get together and have a love child.
Hmm, on second thought, maybe not.
Please.
No.

Debbie is still looney tunes, but it looks like she might end up being a savvy player.
I thought the show's solution to the uneven split problem was interesting, but I did feel like it telegraphed a female alliance boot for the beauty tribe.

I wonder if it is decided that the lone, new 'brawn' member will join the first team to lose a member?

the Beauty girl that got exiled to the Brawn beach?
Yes, she'll join the team that lost a member last night, which was why they were itching so badly to not vote out Peter and vote out a Beauty. If that tribe had voted out Peter instead of what'sherface last night, the Beauty girl would have rejoined their tribe making 3 beauties, 2 brains (because Peter was voted out) and one brawn. The brains wanted to maintain the majority.

So, why did the brawn tribe keep losing challenges? I mean, they are "brawn" after all..
Consider the following article about Google's "Project Aristotle", their effort to figure out how to build a perfect team: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/28/magazi...47&gwt=pay
The biggest conclusion was that effective groups--indeed, the ONE thing they have in common--cultivate an atmosphere of psychological safety. Ones who fail to do this perform more poorly on all tasks compared to ones with psychological safety, which consists of people feeling comfortable to speak up and be themselves. The brawn tribe clearly failed at this, and that's why they kept on losing.

More: okay so this is a Survivor first... all the girls with huge tits got voted out almost immediately. WTF? I mean, okay, but my penis is a little bit offended. Just saying.
I thought Debbie would be the first to go, but she is another black swan it seems. I'd love to see her actually go far.

That makes sense.

Kind of saw Peter's boot coming and I wasn't even paying close attention to the episode :/
Also, merge next episode? So soon?

Yeah, I found the episode kind of disappointing, but my mind was half on something else, so I'll need to rewatch.
I feel like I'm the only one not annoyed by Peter. Granted, he wasn't my favorite, but he was an OK guy to watch.
And indeed, a merging almost right after the deck was shuffled? Is Survivor that desperate to create drama? For me, it's just confusion and indifference.

And now, skin injuries turning infected. Wow.
I mean, not really, but I don't recall this ever happening in seasons past. Debbie and Nick are getting on my nerves. Nick already has been, but Debbie's getting more annoying.
Sorry to see the immunity idol go.

Had I been watching the clock during the episode I would have guessed that there wasn't going to be a tribal council. Really a shame when the game gets undercut by medical evacs like this.
