- The group named the chicken Kelly-Nay after their quitter former tribemates. Hee! That's not the funny part.... then they ate said chicken. Actually, Fabio, Dan, Benry and Sash ate the chicken while Chase, Holly & Jane were on reward. Fair, right? Jane didn't think so. She was M-A-D... and very sad that her pet chicken was murdered. Here's an idea... maybe don't get attached to chickens when you're on Survivor with a bunch of starving people.
- Chase is not very bright. Bless him, he's so very nice and isn't hard on the eyes, but strategy just isn't his thing. To his credit, he recognizes this flaw... but not until after he's blundered his way through something... Last night he won reward & had two people to choose to go with him. Holly was the natural choice for giving up her place on reward last time. No one would argue with that. But then it was obvious that he should have taken Sash. Sash was the swing vote who you don't want to leave behind to worm his way in with the other three. But Chase chose Jane because they're close, because of the mom thing, because she's from North Carolina... whatever.... Dumb.
Sash eventually made it known that he was siding with the Chase-Jane-Holly alliance & it looked like they were voting out Fabio. Even poor Fabio was as worried as we've ever really seen him. Did you get sucked in? I did. I was certain he was going home. And I should know better than to trust those wily Survivor editors... He was using his "play it cool" strategy, not scrambling, and even in Tribal Council there was talk of communication & how playing it cool wasn't the best way to go.... Even Benry was over chatting it up with Holly & Chase saying that he was willing to vote out his buddy & jump alliances. It would have been easy.
But in the end it was Benry who went home. So clearly, those wily editors are leaving something out. Did Fabio make a case for staying that we didn't see? Was Benry more annoying (that's my guess)? Benry is a physical threat, but no more than Fabio really. (UGH! Which makes me remember the part where Sash tells us how he's been purposely sandbagging at the challenges so as not to look like a physical threat. Sit DOWN, Sash! Wait a sec... I'm somehow surprised that a dude who wore a skinny tie to Survivor Nicaragua is unbearable? OK, my bad.) And what annoyed me the most about Tribal Council was that they kept talking about how Fabio, Benry and Chase were the biggest physical threats and NO ONE mentioned JANE!! Has everyone forgotten that Jane has, in fact, beaten all those boys at physical challenges on a few occasions??? OK, so she doesn't do that great when it comes to challenges with a lot of running - I'll give you that. But any type of endurance challenge has Jane beating each one of those muscle boys. And no one thinks to bring this up? Everyone keeps talking about how they don't want to go to the end with Jane because they know they can't beat her, yet they don't vote her out. It's amazing. And the challenges lately have been maily obstacle course type running events, so we're definitely due for some endurancey, puzzley type ones to come soon. Trust.
I'm starting to completely love the fact that Dan is still there. He's sort of grown on me with his weird dyed black hair and grey beard and huge arms and little legs. I know he's basically an easy vote and likely won't win, but you never know. If things get backstabby, Dan could pull it off by staying out of it.
Fabio makes my life. I love the "play it cool" strategy and I love that he's really smarter than he lets on. From the smirk on his face when Benry got booted, I'm thinking Fabio knew that Benry was playing the other side and worked some doofus magic. You? I like to think he's controlling the game somehow.
And Holly. Again, she's someone who could win this thing because overall, she's pretty well liked. A bit annoying, sure. But plays the mom card well and hasn't put anyone's alligator shoes in the ocean recently.
Jane needs to stop annoying people & she'll be OK. I don't think she does too much - but we saw it a bit last night with the cheering for everyone during the challenge. However, as said, no one seems to want to actually vote her out anyway. She will win if she makes it to final three. Do you agree?
At any rate, it's getting interesting. Will Dan & Fabio get picked off now without Benry? It all depends on who will win the immunity, right? And if they're smart, they blindside Sash & get rid of the idol. Plus, no one knows Chase has NaOnka's idol. My thought is that he'll be stupid and tell someone & get himself voted out but he may surprise me. Two idols still! Fun! And in the "scenes from next week"... what the hell? My boyfriend Jeff tells the Survivors that the ones who don't win the reward will be executed??? OK..... Maybe the chicken has come back from the dead for revenge....
We are SO close to the end... will it be one more Wed, then the finale? Or is it two more Wednesdays then finale? Crazy!
Finally, my thoughts on Benry. We didn't know who he was until recently (Benry? Who?) and he just wasn't really that likable. His biggest contribution was in being mean to Alina and calling her a dirt squirrel (puke weasel?) and he showed that he could be a weasel himself by quickly dumping Fabio. Plus, the dude's a "club promoter." Come on.
