The Aruba Commission has been out of the country so it has quite a bit of catching up to do. After the following Findings/Observations are disclosed, the Commission won’t be expecting a Welcome Wagon. LOL!FINDING/OBSERVATION #1 – Jeff declared Lady Centaur’s negotiations a “low-ball” offer. Yet, instead of raising the ante, Jeff actually LOWERS it by asking someone to sit out of the IC. Lady Centaur’s horse ass and tree trunk thighs would have probably struggled for six MINUTES never mind six HOURS. It’s kinda like our resident vegetarian “volunteering” to sit out of the IC if it was a hotdog eating contest instead. *snort*
FINDING/OBSERVATION #2 – Now if Jeff REALLY wanted to raise the stakes he would have offered the extra rice for Lady Centaur’s blubber-compression leggings as a straight-up trade. The Commission determines Sequoia-lina would have balked at that offer.
FINDING/OBSERVATION #3 – Carl serves as a sad example of what happens when a 125 lb. man (that’s including his cowboy hat) attempts to consume 150 lbs. of alcohol. Generally, it does not end up all that well for the 125 lb. man.
FINDING/OBSERVATION #4 – Keeping with the Holiday Spirit...the Ghost of Survivor Past (S35 Champion Ben) probably came to Nick in the middle of the night to encourage him to search for an idol (or clue) while most of the other players were sleeping. It was a tactic that contributed to Ben’s victory; will it serve Nick just as well?
FINDING/OBSERVATION #5 – The Mason-Dixon Line is taking more the form of the Berlin Wall. It appears Nick did not share his idol find with Christian. Conversely, Christian probably did not let Nick in on the Carl blindside. Perhaps the tribal “lines” are not as blurred as the Mason-Dixon “Line” is.
FINDING/OBSERVATION #6 – Going back to Ep. 9, the pow-wow among the David castaways was indicative and very telling of everyone’s place in the game.
Let’s recap:
Christian: Hey, I got a HII.
Davie: Yeah, I had a HII too...I played it to save you.
Nick: I got an advantage to negate a vote and cast an extra one.
Carl: And I have a HII nullifier.
Gollum Girl: AHHHH, I got nothing, but I’m being carried. HeHe
FINDING/OBSERVATION #7 – Let’s fast-forward to the most recent TC.
Davie: I’m wearing an IN; I’m not going anywhere.
Nick: I have a HII in my pocket; I’m not going anywhere.
Christian: I still have my HII; I’m not going anywhere.
Gollum Girl: AHHHH, I got nothing but I’m not going anywhere either because I’m being carried. HeHe
FINDING/OBSERVATION #8 – FINALLY, someone gets Jeff to STFU during a challenge. Kudos to Christian for his non-stop chatter putting a muzzle on Probst.
FINDING/OBSERVATION #9 – Last night’s telecast was titled “Tribal Lines are Blurred.” Yet, the deciding swing vote that Mike casted at the last TC was driven by “Tribal Lines.” His vote to boot Carl keeping Davids and Goliaths 4-4 and not walking back to camp with the Goliaths down 3-5 was as CLEAR as day.
FINDING/OBSERVATION #10 – For all the aimless babble the Commission had to endure on prior posts labeling Alec a “turncoat” because he made a decision to not be Natalia’s bitch, not a single word was spoken about cutting the Queen Bee loose when a target the size of Alaska was placed on him for his athleticism and challenge prowess. Make NO mistake about it...his boot was all about the Anti-Darwin Syndrome.
FINDING/OBSERVATION #11 – The Commission will never take the Preview as Bible when Production has used “Next Time on Survivor” as a vehicle for misdirection in the past. But if Squonk does turn on her alliance mate who has protected and carried her on his back, THAT could very well go down as the biggest “turncoat” act in the history of Survivor.
