Nice bounce back episode from last week’s disappointment. The observations/findings from the Aruba Commission continues:#1 – The Commission applauds a challenge worthy to be contested on a show called “Survivor.” Too bad it was wasted on the EoE; it should have been an Immunity Challenge instead of a comp for one single fire token. Louder applause to the four who gutted it out. Happy to say, the “Sandra Sit-Out Bench” did not exist on EoE.
#2 – Props to Natalie whose efforts during that challenge embodies a player appropriately casted for the show. What a gross injustice “The Beast” Natalie is voted off first while lame inept sideliners still remain in the main game. No one said Survivor is fair.
#3 – Apparently, Production has waived the “the same player can’t sit out of consecutive challenges” rule. It appears previously handing out $2 million to the player who benefits the most from this waiver is not enough.
#4 – Props to Adam for his damage-control efforts. Some may have taken a self-centered approach and demanded an apology from those who left him out of the loop as he walked away from TC with his tail between his legs, or went on the offense toward Snitch Rob who narced him out. But, realizing HE was the one who threw the gauntlet first and initiated the tribal disruption, Adam resorted to two words that may go a long way...”I’M SORRY.” Time will tell how much mileage he will get from his efforts.
#5 – One must wonder how to pass the time 24/7 living among others in adverse conditions without the normal conveniences and means of entertainment in modern day life. Having to resort to smelling each other’s breath can only speak to the desperation some DAWs turn to in a woeful attempt to amuse oneself.
#6 – The search party the Commission sent out last week was successful in locating Nick...he was found pulling a “Rob Blunder” on the “damn friggin’ puzzle.”
#7 – MONSTER COMEBACK in the tribal challenge! THAT’S why you NEVER give up on Survivor. Edmonton Oiler Steve Smith needed to wait a year to erase his inexcusable miscue and hoist the Stanley Cup in 1990. Rob’s wait was only a week to reverse his blunder and downright kill it on the recent IC puzzle.
#8 – As if we didn’t have to hear Sandra’s lame “as long as it’s not me” mantra repeated numerous times, Probst had to LITERALLY spell it out (yet again) at TC.
#9 – Kudos to those with advantages this season who have decided NOT to blabber it to anyone within earshot. Perhaps S35 Heroes Champion Ben is rubbing off on them by placing his finger on their lips whispering, “SHHHHHH.”
#10 – “Next time on Survivor” we get the inevitable tribal switch. It will be the time of the season the Aruba Commission names the recipient of the “Dumbass Luck Award” to the castaway who benefitted the most from the switch, as well as, eulogizing the poor soul who was “Swap-Zapped.”
#11 – Michelle asks, “How did I get stuck on an Island with my ex-boyfriend?” Many more are asking, “How was Michelle one of the 20 casted on an Island for a season titled Winners at War?” Now they appear to be on the same post-swap tribe. Conspiracy Theorists are on alert, hence the Aruba Commission may need to work overtime next week. Regardless the status of their former relationship...ex, shmex...yet ANOTHER sad example of presumed pre-gaming appears evident.
