Perfect example of why women can never get along with each other: Abi-Maria. She’s pissed at RC for betraying her. Yet, isn’t Abi the one who went and found the idol with Pete, instead of RC, and then NOT telling RC she found it, even though RC shared the clue with Abi and told her that she was going to keep it between the two of them only? So, who is it that should actually be pissed off at who here? I’m sure every woman reading this can understand exactly what I’m saying here, but if a scenario came up like this in their life and they were the Abi, they’d be pissed too! Look, I’m not hating on women. I’d be an idiot to do that since I write a blog on a website that is frequented by, probably, 90% women. I’m just speaking the truth, and if I can change the mindset of even one female out there, who can turn to her female friends and tell them that she is going to be a better friend, more understanding, less demanding, less judgmental, less everything womanly, and more just there to be a friend, then I did my job!
Take everything I said in that last paragraph as full on sarcasm. Please. And thank you. But, also know that I’m 100% right. I always am.
Let’s just get the immunity challenge over with, shall we? I was thinking that this was another challenge where teams wouldn’t really have to sit their players, but since it adds up so perfectly that each team has 6 bowls to carry, two at a time, it makes sense only three people do it. But, see, when the other two teams can just go and sit their three females, how fair does that exactly make it? Also, is this like the last challenge where it doesn’t matter who goes, and if everyone goes once? Because, if it is, I’d like to see Malcolm step up and tell Denise she’s not going at all, just because she’s at a complete disadvantage just based on the fact that she’s a tiny woman.
Also, good thing they got rid of Angie, because had Malcolm walked up to this challenge with Angie and Denise next to him, he might as well have just said “f*ck it, Jeff, we’re not even going to bother.” But, after seeing Russell crawling to the mat after going through the obstacle course, I don’t think they would have taken too much of a step down with Angie over him.
The Tan Dong wins (don’t they always) and Kalabaw comes in second, just nearly eclipsing Malcolm and Matsing! Afterwards, Russell throws a hissy fit, yelling at God, calling Probst the Lord, talking about how he was created by God as a masterpiece (if so, I think he would have spent a few extra seconds on your hairline and lining that up a little better), and that he should never lose at anything. I love how Probst calls him out and tells him that he’s talking about himself as if he’s a fricken Superhero, and that he’s not. And, also that he owes them $375 for the damage to the set and for ruining the rice that they were going to give to the poor people of the Philippines. Way to go, Russell, because of you, seven kids are now going to die of hunger. Superhero, I think not.
I am disappointed that Russell is out this early. While I do not think he’s the greatest at this game; he loves it and I hated that gasp of air he let out too. I don’t know what it is, but I just wanted him to do well because he wanted it so bad!
This episode showed another person I had no clue who they were: Carter. LOL, I hope it gets more interesting as time goes on because I want to see some other tribes lose!!
I liked Russell on Day 1 . . . after that, he became pretty obnoxious (at least what they showed us). I know he wanted to be there, but he was quick to blame others and not a good listener or team player. That said, I do feel for Malcolm and Denise. There was one other season where this happened. There were two solid players but the rest of the team really couldn’t help – they eventually let it get down to one on that tribe. The remaining two had to make fire to see who went home. I certainly hope it doesn’t get like that for these two as I think they would have thrived with a different team.
I also can’t wait to learn more about some of the other teams. I hope there is a complete change-up so that when Denise and/or Malcolm join another tribe they aren’t just voted off right away.
And Peter appears to be a snake!
Love your recaps – keep them coming 🙂
RC should have gone to Lisa, Mike, and Artis and said yes I found the clue but not the idol! Lets align to get Abi and Pete out!
I was dead-asleep – recovering from the flu – and missed this episode, so thanks for the recap. Seems like I didn’t miss much, although I would have enjoyed watching Russell’s “hissy fit” and Probst calling him out. (Maybe it’s up on You Tube?).
So far, the show hasn’t made me feel invested in any particular tribe or even any particular person. I’ll give the next episode a shot, but can’t promise I’ll stay with it to the end.
I’m not sure I understand your definition of women but I still think you’re a douche. So you got that going for you.
