Oh God, what the f*ck is Eddie doing? Being the first to drop out of the immunity challenge, when you’re in the bottom two choices to go home that night? And, if you’re going to go out, why would you share it with Eddie? There looked like there were three donuts on that plate and Probst definitely ate one of them, so in essence, you jumped off to have one donut and a glass of milk? Congrats on being an idiot, Eddie. Seriously, where do they find these people to be on these shows? This guy doesn’t want a million dollars.
Same for Cochran. Didn’t he just get done telling us he wanted to suck some of the power away? Sure, you may think you stand no chance at winning a certain challenge, but why give up? You never know what’s going to happen. And, if you truly even thought you had any power, you wouldn’t have looked at those girls and tried to explain to them why you’re jumping off to eat three hot dogs, when Reynold is still alive in the challenge! Cochran apparently doesn’t understand how you earn power.
And, Andrea wins. After a three-hour battle with Brenda, and having to make up their own rules to finish off the challenge. Kudos to the both of them. I always hate it when people make deals at challenges. You want to win immunity – beat me at it. It’s not a true W if I ask you to jump off and you concede to my wishes. Yes, a win is a win, but in a game like Survivor, it’s an individual game, not a team game. With how often blindsides are discussed and others jump ship on alliances, you’re never safe, so why would you want to make a deal with someone else to go ahead and let them win the only thing that can keep you safe in the game? I liked that both of them wanted to beat the other and not give in.
Besides, the winner also got important information, which we all knew was going to be directions to the hidden immunity idol. I said it the other time with Malcolm, and how if Andrea and the rest of them didn’t want him to find it, they’d follow him around all day and night – so I’ll say it again with Reddie, why not follow them around the entire day and night after they walked over to read their information? It’s nowhere in the rules that you need to just let them go off and read that note on their own. You can follow them all you want. I guess they just gave up. Or, they thought they’d be proper gentleman and not push themselves on the group like that to hopefully continue winning them over. Sorry boys, but you need to up your game. You should have been shadowing that group, and once they reached that tree, you should have been right next to Erik as he was digging for that idol. And, it’s 100% obvious now that the person who finds the idol can easily just have it ripped out of their hands, because that’s EXACTLY what Andrea does once Erik finds it in the ground. Seriously, Erik, how do you let her do that without even a fight? He didn’t even do that cartoon-ish thing where he joked about having a tight grip on it in order to not give it to her. He just let her take it. Erik – do I have to remind you that you’re in a game where only one person wins $1 MILLION?!? That’s not a team idol, it’s individual. You dug it up, you found it, you have it in your hand, that’s YOUR F*CKING IDOL! Grow some testes. Even Cochran commented on your manhood. And yes, that comment was directed at Erik’s manhood.
Now that Andrea’s got more bravado, and more confidence with her newly found idol, she wants to make a move. She wants to blindside Brenda. Yeah sure. Ok. This is only the 205th time this group has talked about blindsiding someone. We all know it’s a straight up lie. Reynold is still going home.
Keep chuckling, Eddie! You’re still an idiot. The people in the jury weren’t laughing with you. They’re definitely laughing at you, and pissed off that they’re in the jury and you’re still in the game, giving up in challenges to eat a donut.
Come on, Probst, why you trying to bring up that it’s suspicious that Brenda and Andrea didn’t want to make a deal? There’s nothing suspicious about it. It’s like everyone always says, and you always say – nobody is ever safe in this game, so why wouldn’t each of them WANT to win immunity? Why is that so difficult to understand? And why does he have to bring it up as being something that is suspicious? I don’t agree with Jeff here. That’s just over-analyzing.
And, like I said, Reynold is still going home. Or, to the jury, I should say. I’m not sure why Eddie voted for Erik, but I guess that’s just Eddie being the complete moron that he is. And, I assume Reynold just wanted to write down Sherri’s name since he hates her so much.
OH GAHHH, I hope Sherri doesn’t win.
I’m hoping that it’s Cochran who pulls out a win this season. He reminds me of Ian from last summer’s Big Brother; he’s nerdy, he’s kind of laying low, everybody’s friend, he’s won challenges but isn’t considered a threat, etc. While his “big moves” aren’t necessarily earth shattering and he’s not leading the group, like you’ve said a “winner” should play, Ian didn’t do this either (until closer to the end) and he still won.
I don’t know, just my thoughts.
I think Probst brought up the immunity deal thing with them basically for entertainment purposes, because they knew Andrea was considering Brenda a threat after she fought for immunity. All I think Probst was doing there was his job – stirring the pot, seeing if someone would say it out loud, get the scheming. He does that a lot.
I have to say, as soon as Malcolm got booted last week, I also thought its pretty much going to be boring for the rest of the season. It was clear that Reddie would be leaving soon too, or at least Reynold – and I don’t see Eddie having any chance of winning so he doesn’t really matter anymore. Especially since he left the immunity challenge. I guess survivor thought it was boring too, since they essentially put two episodes into one. What is it – 6 people left, and only 1 episode left before finale? Obviously the rest of the season is boring for them to fast track it. Out of the 6, in all honesty, only Cochran and Dawn have actually done stuff to deserve to be in final. As a whole I don’t know if they really deserve it, but out of the 6 remaining, those are the only 2 that could argue they did something. Erik thinks he’s doing stuff but he’s not – I don’t think his team even knew he voted for fillup, as Probst didn’t show that the last vote was for Phillip (didn’t need to) so they probably assumed the last vote was for who the big alliance voted for, if they knew that, they might have tried to get Erik out. Brenda? Eddie? Sherri? Nothing, nothing, nothing. I think they should call this survivor ‘and the meek shall inherit the earth’.
Without Malcolm this season of Survivor has gotten extremely boring and predictable. I don’t even know who I’m rooting for anymore! You know even cbs has given up on the season when they start squeezing multiple tribals in one episode. why not just have one tribal with a double elimination, now that may actually shake things up! That would make them scramble. Lets see them “split the vote” (gag me) in that situation!
Ok I need to lodge a complaint here: why all of a sudden do the survivor editors feel the need to throw in a shot of a snake every 5 seconds?! As someone with a snake phobia it’s terrible! I spend more time covering my eyes than watching! Scott I fully expected you to make some reference to Malcolm’s resemblance to a pirate at his first tribal after getting voted out. Ahoy me matey my way!
