Sorry for the super late post. I moved. No computer for a whole bunch of days. Well, technically I did have one yesterday, but I spent the day at Home Depot and really didn't have a happy blog in me when I was done. But... I digress.
What you want to know (if you don't already) is what happened on Survivor. It was GREAT. Honestly, it was a bit of a slow start this season, non? I mean, the first episode was good, then a few dull ones, then it's been all awesomeness. If there was an episode awesomeness chart, it would look like the line graph above (see Graph - click on it & you can see it better). Agree?
So that darn Russell was on the team that won reward & got a clue to the hidden immunity idol. Everyone got to see that the idol was hidden under a rock. So they all scatter & look for it - rather, they all follow Russell while he looks for it. Hee. Then Russell loses 'em. Total cop-show-car-chase. And of course, Russell finds the idol. Man, he's clever! This time he doesn't tell the whole world that he's got it though.
Shambo, in a reasonably smart move, told John that she was voting Laura no matter what & put it in John's head that maybe he should consider flipping. Then she told Brett (who?), who looked like a puppy who's just been kicked (oh, that guy). Meanwhile, Jaison & Mick work on Monica saying that she should be the one to flip sides.
Mick won immunity (yay!) and Shambo could not hide her glee. She did a fist pump and said a loud, "Yeah!" when Laura lost, which was in pretty poor form, even if you hate Laura. I'm guessing Shambo's middle name is not Tact.
So, it looked to everyone that it was going to a tie-breaker. How exciting! Five people would vote for Laura and the other five would vote for Natalie. Some of the brainiacs in original team purple thought it would be a great idea to tell yellow that they were voting John. I guess they were trying to make it look like not everyone would vote for a yellow... try to get the votes off Laura and then all of them vote for Natalie... I think it was a stupid plan from the get-go. Russell didn't believe them & went straight to John. John finds out later that his tribe-mates did this & says he wouldn't have minded being included in the discussion. Heh heh. Said something like, "Voting for John isn't the best idea... if you're John." Heh. So essentially, team brainiac - by trying to make it SEEM like they were splintering, actually DID cause some splintering. Nice work guys.
So it was a tie. 5 votes Laura, 5 votes Natalie. Then they have to vote again, this time only for either Laura or Natalie. If that doesn't work, they have to draw rocks. No one (except Danger Dave...'cause he's dangerous, right?) wants to draw rocks. So they re-vote...we're all on the edge of our seats, it's very exciting... and....someone flips. AGAIN, the look on both Erik's and Danger's faces was amazing. Danger's eyes totally bugging out of his head (Dude kills me). Erik cheering away. Hee hee. Surviva-licious. Who flipped? John, of course. Monica's too stupid to vote against Laura & John knew which way the wind was blowing. They don't call it rocket science for nothing, folks. From having all the numbers (I think Erik said it best with "There goes the lead") to being on the wrong side of the numbers.... it's going to be lovely to watch Danger Dave, Monica & Brett start squirming.
