This week on Plz Survive we discuss doubling over with laughter while watching Coach try to escape his own lies, wonder about the logistics of sorting through two thousand coconuts, the social politics of selecting a challenge partner, Devens' idol gambit, and Stephenie hulking out on Christian during tribal council. We also share our current front runner picks and potential new alliances that may form in the coming weeks as we approach the final third of this season of Survivor 50.

Jessica explains to newbie Molly that the way Jonathan and Coach play the game, is, well, That's Not How I Play Survivor, as Rob agrees, We chat about how it would be nice if the honorable men would stop yelling at the women and culturally appropriating Japanese culture for long enough to actually form some strategy. The Plz Survive trio takes a stab at mapping out the current alliances and enemies solidifying on the beach, and wonder what other option Aubry had for her very public idol, and ends with some advice for Jonthan and Coach, and suggestions for retroactively renaming the 40s seasons.
