We start off with Tarzan calling the girls stupid for not voting him out and how he has a master plan (of which he’s not going to tell us – seriously, why would you not tell us, Tarzan? You do realize the show is being TAPED and we aren’t on it, right? If you tell the camera, it’s not like we’re going to tell Kim, Chelsea, Alicia, Sabrina, and Christina what you’re wonderful plan is) to make the final 3. But, first, he says his plan is to just make the final 4 now. So, what is it then, Tarzan? Top 3 or top 4? You’re confusing me. Hell, I think you’re confusing yourself here. He goes on to tell Kim that is should be her, Alicia, and Christina in the final 3 and then Tarzan would talk the jury into voting for Kim to win. Alicia walks over, Kim tells her Tarzan’s plan and Tarzan has a look on his face that showed he probably wasn’t pleased about her doing that, but he rolls with it by then telling Alicia the same thing he told Kim, that he would sway the jury’s votes to Alicia. Yes, because Tarzan is going to be able to talk the jury into voting any certain way. He does remember that just about nobody likes him, right? But, go ahead and believe that you can sway a vote. You probably can’t even sway your own vote.
More boring talk from Chelsea about how the alliances are split, 3 to 3, and it just got me wondering when ever did Alicia, Christina, and Tarzan team up and become an alliance?!? I highly doubt Alicia and Christina are on any team together, and the fact that anyone thinks Tarzan is in good graces with these people is just being ridiculous. He’s out on his own and I think the Production team just drummed up this 3-3 storyline so they could even have a show this week. I think it was 100% obvious that Tarzan was going home this entire episode. Just like how that pig showed up at camp that one day, they chased it trying to kill it for a good minute or two and when they finally had it cornered, they just up and let it go. And, then the pig just chilled at camp, laying down so the camera could get a good shot of him. Yeah, Production’s not setting anything up when they have nothing else to do/talk about.
In the middle of all of this, Chelsea and Christina take a walk and I couldn’t really decipher what the hell they were talking about, but it was something to do with the game, I’m guessing. I did catch the part about the reward, but that’s about it. All I do know is that Christina came back and told Kim what Chelsea talked to her about (and thought to myself, since when is Christina ever talking to Kim about strategy, etc) and it got blown up into some high school stuff with Chelsea getting all pissed off at her, even though the things that were said weren’t even bad. It’s not like Chelsea said, “Hey, let’s get rid of Kim next.” Girls and their drama. I’ll never understand it.
We head over to the reward challenge, which turns out to be something they haven’t done yet. Shocker. Best part of this competition was Probst going through the directions. “This will make you dizzy.” No sh*t, Sherlock. I look for little things to make me laugh while watching this show and that comment definitely got me. It’s not often I make fun of Jeff Probst, but I can’t let this one go. He threw that one in there as if it were part of the directions for the competition. First, you will spin around to unlock the discs. Next, you will get dizzy and possibly run sideways. After that, we may have you endure smelling Tarzan’s sweaty crotch. And, if you survive the dizziness and nausea, you can unlock some stupid box and win a shower and some champagne. Congratulations.
Another great blog! I was watching it last night thinking, “oh Scott is going to have a field day with this one” when Probst kept saying “you are going to get dizzy.” I especially loved it when he added the comment that it was because they haven’t eaten for 30 days, um pretty sure they would get dizzy even if they had been eating for 30 days Jeff.
Can I just put it on record that I was cringing all through Tribal council? I personally despise the word “panties.” How many freaking times did it need to be said in one Tribal? I have to admit I thought you would have made a bigger deal of the whole “microbes” comments. Oh and nothing being said about Alicia talking about how she and Tarzan had a whole father/daughter type relationship? Since when?! Why?! Ugh more stupidness.
As much as I want this boring season of Survivor to be over I’m sad, I will miss my reading my weekly dose of Scott Oterness Charm. At least I will have you tube videos like Cinnamon Challenge to help me through to the next lame season of Survivor. 🙂
Every week, I miss something. I always have intentions of writing about a certain comment or two, but for some reason, I always forget come blog-writing time! This week was most definitely Alicia’s father/daughter comment about her and Tarzan. Yes, I would have had a field day with that one. God knows this blog was a tad on the short end, and that was the piece that was missing that would have made it normal-length! Sorry, I apologize.
As for missing my recaps, I appreciate that greatly. Perhaps I will take some time to keep creating youtube minorpieces (instead of masterpieces) that 100 or so people can semi-laugh at! 🙂
I registered just so I could post a comment. Scott…I’ll miss your recaps also. I love Survivor and have never missed an episode in all the seasons it’s been on the air. Reading your recaps gives me a whole new perspective on watching the show! I don’t watch Big Brother but I enjoy reading your recaps of it.
