I’ll be away for the weekend (leaving tonight; returning on Monday.) Thought I’d get something up quickly even though I probably won’t be able to reply until next week. So here goes...We were subjected to a host of the ridiculous post-TC confessionals fresh off the Hai blindside.
We start off with Mike who has the audacity to claim HE orchestrated the Hai boot. He rambles on about how the “peasants” took out the “king...” blah...blah...blah...
Romeo starts boasting about his UTR game like he’s some kind of strategic player. Hey Romeo, it has absolutely nothing to do with strategy and everything to do with...well...you suck. The kind of “suck” that modern day Survivor will allow you to be carried to the end.
Speaking of which...we go to Maryanne—who is insistent that a semi-annual loss of toenails simply falling off her foot are normal human occurrences. What she is right about is she’s on the “bottom” because she is a non-threat. Wanna know why you’re a non-threat...because you are inept. The kind of inept that modern day Survivor will allow you to be carried to the end. Hey, have we heard this before? Yes, we just did.
To quote Dirty Harry Callahan, these jokers are all “legends in their own minds.” In this most predictable season, we may have our F3 vying for the title. LMAO!
Romeo, already the most tantalizing goat this season, raises the ire of his tribemates even more by doing his worst Winnie the Pooh imitation reaching into the cooking pot to scoop fragments of rice.
Jonathan is particularly agitated because he feels entitled to larger portions to support his large frame. He goes on to tell us how many thousands of calories he burns by just lying on his back doing nothing...yadda...yadda...yadda... Lindsay and Drea seem the most irritated by Jonathan.
The stage is being set where ANYONE and EVERYONE is at risk to get the next boot...well...almost everyone with the exception of Maryanne still securely strapped in her car seat.
Enough of this social butterfly/tribe dynamics crap; let’s get to the IC.
But wait...PSSST...Jiffy has another secret to share with us. Well, maybe a secret to viewers like me who did not watch last season. It’s called a “Do or Die.”
Hearing it for the first time, it’s sounding like a reason for casting debacles to chicken sh!t their way out of competing. True to form, only Jonathan and Lindsay choose to compete in a mano a mano showdown. The winner gets immunity; the loser has a 2/3s chance of going home without any TC vote OR a 1/3 chance of safety.
Jonathan is a stud, but Lindsay is no slouch. If you don’t know this by her efforts thus far this season, her backstory provides confirmation revealing she completed on a boy’s football team. If someone like Lindsay played football when I was growing up, I would have traded in my soccer cleats for a football helmet just for a chance to “tackle” her. *sigh*
OK, back to the Summary…
It was a grueling hard fought challenge with the chicken sh!ts watching from the Sandra/Daniel Sit-Out Bench. Lindsay was in total concentration, while Jonathan kept glancing over at Lindsay like the “cat who was eating the mouse.” Over 12 minutes later, Jonathan was licking his chops while Lindsay dropped. She must play “Do or Die” at TC.
After the IC, the scramble to target someone continued. The scramble put a bullseye on MIKE who Drea will use her “Knowledge is Power” on to steal his II. She decides to share this plan with only ONE player. Unfortunately for her, that one player is the biggest lying dong of donkey’s dust this season—Omar. If a player ever needed S35 Champion Ben with his finger over his lips whispering SHHHHHHHH, it was Drea this episode.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
Drea says she's been doing a whole lot of “observing.” So much it’s hard to remember what I noticed more—the number of times Drea said she “observed,” or the number of Maryanne open mouth gasps. *snort*
Let’s get away from the chicken sh!ts and get straight to a true competitor like Lindsay and the “Do or Die.” She must pick one of the three boxes. If she chooses correctly (the flame) she is safe; if the open box reveals a skull, she joins the jury. Lindsay chooses the middle box. Any viewer with one eye on the TV and the other eye on a clock (indicating about 10 more minutes of remaining telecast,) pretty much knows the outcome before it’s revealed. IT’S THE FLAME—she still has life! And that’s the way it should be because she COMPETED...which now means one of the chicken sh!ts will be voted out. Ha-Ha!!
I guess it won’t be Drea because she has the “Knowledge is Power” advantage to steal Mike’s immunity away from him. So, she asks Mike if he has an II (which he would be forced to hand over to her essentially ending Mike’s game.) Mike answers,”NO?!” HMMM, it appears the “Knowledge is Power” is no match for the “Lying Sack of Sh!t is Power.” Omar narced Drea out. Even with Drea’s extra vote, her torch is snuffed and she’ll be joining the jury.
After she departs, Jeff babbles some kind of jibberish about “comradery,” Well, Drea showed comradery with her parting words to Lindsay and Maryanne, but did she with Mike and Omar? I don’t think so.
Drea proclaims if Mike makes it to the end, he’ll win. REALLY? You think I’m going to believe for a nanosecond if Mike is sitting next to Maryanne at FTC, Drea casts her vote for...Mike? OF COURSE NOT; she purposely spewed that verbal diarrhea to intentionally put a target on Mike. Some comradery. *snort*
AND announcing she revealed her “Knowledge is Power” to ONLY Omar paints an even bigger target on him. So big, I’ll give you my prediction for the next episode’s boot right now—OMAR. Not that I blame her. She did go out swinging...
NEXT TIME ON SURVIVOR
Maryanne continues to babble aimlessly about not being a “goat to be herded” Actually, she’s a baby kangaroo being carried. LOL
