A delightful episode. Were you pro-Yasmin or anti-Yasmin? Me? Anti, for sure. She had one of the best, worst strategies ever: "If I don't do anything around camp, I won't make any mistakes, and no one will come after me." Really? Yeah... that didn't work. Instead, everyone just thought she was a lazy ass. So what if she did better than Monica at the challenge? At least Monica obviously has some people skills, which Yasmin clearly lacks. I couldn't wait for the speech at the end where we KNEW she'd go on about how she knows she's better than all of those people and screw them anyways.... I don't want a million dollars if I can't be true to myself, blah, blah, blah. People really have to stop teaching their kids that they're entitled to whatever they want just because they're "confident"... or maybe it's Oprah's fault? Or Maury.... Thoughts? You still have to work hard & be nice to people, right? Oh, the other thing I love is that Yasmin is now joining BEN, who was voted off last week. That should be a fun reunion. Where's the footage of that? Hugs all around, I'm sure.
I digress. Back to the show.... there were lots and lots of fun things that happened. Like the reward challenge where 3 people from each team show up and there's no one there to tell them what to do. Did Jeff sleep in? I hope so. So they run for the chickens (the reward) and the other box... which ends up being the instructions to the game. Then someone has to yell at Shambo to put down the chickens she's got by the neck. Hee. Team purple won on the last throw (it was a bocce-type game where you have to throw a ball closest to the middle....) and won the chickens. It was Danger Dave acutally, though you never see his team give him the full credit back at camp. I am totally in love with Danger Dave and his skullet. You?
Then Shambo, claiming to be a "country girl" takes charge of the chickens. She clucks at them constantly, telling us that you have to make the chickens "trust you" before they will lay eggs for you. Say it with me.... Really? I'm pretty sure they'll just lay eggs if you feed them, give them water and leave them the heck alone. Anyways, so Shambo loses a chicken the very next day. Funny to watch everyone give chase as Shambo says, "I didn't know they could fly!" and "At least I produced us an egg first..." Ummm... the chicken did that. Not Shambo. Then everyone just gave up on getting the chicken back, making Erik's head just about blow off.
Speaking of Erik... we finally got to hear from him a little. He used the clues Shambo had for the immunity idol at the other camp & figured he'd see if they were the same at his camp. Clever, non? So after he checked like, 35 trees... he found it and exclaimed, "I KNEW it would be in that tree!" Hee. You've got to admire the very few people who are actually playing this game. There's a lot of dead weight this season.
Hmmmm... what else? Like I mentioned earlier, the purple team finally lost a challenge. It wasn't much to write home about, just that Monica was the weakest one. And I don't think she sucked, she was just slower than the rest of them. It was good to see the yellow team win one for once. Also, that means we don't have to listen to Russell (much) for one episode. Though he did make a "last-two" alliance with Natalie, who he figures he can more easily beat than Jaison (true) with whom he also has a "last-two" alliance. Hee. Speaking of Jaison, he's getting pretty whiney, non? What's with the "I didn't sign up for this" talk? YES YOU DID! It's called Survivor. It pretty much sucks every time... rainy.... cold.... people don't sleep.... I don't know, I get this from ummmm... WATCHING THE SHOW! He actually said it was the "worst decision he's made in his whole life." Sigh.... I sure hope he sucks it up soon. Big lawyer-baby.
So there were two camps at team purple.... team Monica and team Yasmin. Master T and most of the men were on team Yasmin. They want someone who's strong in challenges. Fair enough. Master T went on to say that he's the leader and if people don't do what he wants, he'd have to kick some ass or something like that. Really? You? The others were team Monica, wanting someone they like more and who does more work around camp. Also fair. In the end, niceness won out over pouty entitlement. And not that Monica's really that nice.... 'cause the girls mean-girled Yasmin pretty hard. But Yasmin sort of deserved it. The only time I've liked her even a little was when she wore her heels to Tribal last night & told Jeff it's 'cause she wanted to look nice for him. Cute, but too late. I can't stand you, sorry.
Finally, there are 2 blonde girls who seem, at least at this point, to be completely interchangeable. Natalie and Kelly. Thank goodness they're at least on two different teams so we can know them as purple blonde and yellow blonde. I sure hope one of them goes before the merge or I'll be so confused. Also, I'm surprised that Brett got to speak last night at Tribal Council. We have literally heard NOTHING from the guy until then. And even then, I don't remember what he had to say. He's so far under the radar, he's cloaked. Full on Klingon warship.
And why the heck don't they want to vote off Shambo? She loses chickens, she's annoying, she's kind of stupid... and the hair..... Just sayin'. Shambo also figures she's "got a following" at the other camp. One of my favourite quotes of the night. Who are you, the Grateful Dead? Goes to show, you can lose a chicken and Yasmin is still more annoying. People totally forget each season that it's a show about people skills, and that whole "I don't care if you like me or not" attitude just isn't going to work. It's also going to get Shambo voted off in due course. Trust.
