And as we head to tribal, Drew continues his jackass ways by talking about taking out Kelley in front of her, but there are a few potential targets:
-Drew wants to take out Kelley
-Jon wants to take out Julie
-Jeremy wants to take out Keith
-The girls wanna take out Drew
So let’s see what craziness unfolds at Tribal. I’m sure another (synonym for moronic) dimwitted decision will be made tonight. (Can we already submit this season for being one of the worst in Survivor history? Really guys, you need to give your players some pointers before they hit the beach. Tell them things like: Don’t be idiots. Make big moves. Don’t say stupid s**t. Study the best players. I don’t know… “Don’t be like Drew” seems to be a propos right now…)
Hunahpu’s first visit to Tribal affords them the ritual of getting fire for the first time. Ironically, a storm is developing in the distance, which, once again, portends events that may befall the Hunahpuians…
Jeff opens by picking at a few angles but they all seem like diversions for what’s really going to happen. Who’s getting along, who’s not, but so what? The first real drama is when Jeremy calls out Keith for claiming he had an idol. And while Jeremy is making perfect sense with, “if you thought that, come to me because we’re aligned,” Keith is more adamant that “that’s not the way the game is played,” but I’m starting to wonder if Keith has ever seen the show.
For a lark (I presume) Jeff asks Drew what the tribe needs to do to fix itself, and he can only offer that they need to get rid of some poison. But who’s the poison? With all the follow up to that question, no one is clear on who they should vote for, who should go home, or who is the poison. It could literally be 4 different people, and with Keith’s idol, that could throw another wrench in the monkey works… Whatev. It’s time to vote…
Before the votes are read, Jeff gives the players a chance to play any hidden immunity idols, but Keith is confident enough to know that he’s not going home. Jeff reads the votes:
Julie
Kelley
Drew
Keith
Julie
Drew
Drew
Drew
And with that, Jeff has to tell Drew that he’s been voted off, since he’s too dumb to add.
So now that both tribes have voted out a strong player, via blindside, in back-to-back Tribals, you know everyone’s going to be a little more cognizant of the realities of the game. Let’s hope… This Tribal either brought clarity, or chaos, to Hunahpu, and only time will tell if it’ll do them any good. With 4 guys and 4 girls left, there may or may not be any gender alliances now, but with all the damage revealed tonight, who knows what new trouble may be brewing?
The tease for next week makes it appear the tribe is against Jon, but I think that’s just creative editing. It looks like Jon is simply telling the tribe how crazy Drew was, but hey, let’s create some drama for next week. My spider senses are tingling that if THAT is the big reveal of next week, then next week is going to suck… Who knows?
Until next Wednesday, I’ll be biding my time cruising around Twitter, watching The Amazing Race, reading about how f**ked up the Ryder Cup captain selection process is going to be, nursing a drink, watching the NFL, and most importantly, eagerly awaiting Sunday night so I can catch the next episode of The Walking Dead. Holy F**k! Did you see that? (of course you did, everyone did…). The highs and lows of that episode were like watching a feature film. Seriously amped to see what they have in store this week. Please tweet/comment/email if you agree…
And for my last rant of the week, can I just mention how crazy this whole Ebola thing is? I mean, JFC, are we still talking about it? Is it still a “thing?” Haven’t they moved onto a new topic on the news yet? Wait, the nurse got on a commercial flight? WTF? This did happen on Contagion, and we’ll all soon be locking ourselves inside, watching TV, and surfing the internet by ourselves inside a plastic bag. And is that really such a bad thing…? I’ll let the experts decide what’s best for America, knowing that whatever they decide, is probably not the best. Perhaps this column isn’t the best place for a political/medical debate, but at least know that I’m thinking of things other than immunity idols, Exile Arena, and boobs…
Have a fantastic week, my lovelies…
