Sorry for the very late blog. The flu knocked me on my butt for the past 5 days. And yes, I got my flu shot. Just that lucky, I guess.
So... on to Survivor. Trying to remember what happened.. and apologies for this lacklustre blog.... Right. Well, we're starting to see Baby Hantz unravel. He's showing the same Jekyll & Hyde personality from last time where he's a total weirdo one minute and then all nice and very sorry the next. I would not want this guy in my alliance. All you have to do is look at him wrong and he flips out. Look at poor Dawn. She tried calmly talking to Baby about why she voted for Francesca and he basically told her that she'll lose because she's stupid. Something like that. Dawn, who's way too nice to be on this show, cried. Of course. I probably would have too - it's hard to deal with people who are so illogical. Then Baby goes on about how he's gonna go all Russell Hantz on everyone and mess with the tribe. Then the next day, look, he's very sorry and doesn't want to do that at all.
But when Baby tries to chat up The Specialist, he's told that he's "middle management" while Phil is the "CEO". Baby's on a "need-to-know" basis. Phil - smartly? - wants nothing to do with Baby. Which one is crazier here? When you're making Phil look like that rational one... well.... that says a lot. Phil lets us know that he doesn't trust Baby because of his "narcisstic" personality. Yes, that's new English. You learned it here first.
Meanwhile, Shamar annoys the heck out of most people over in the Fans camp. He's lazy. Or, uh, "conserving his energy".... And then we meet Sherri. Hello, where were you on episode one? I love Sherri. First of all - she looks like a blonde Sandra Bullock. Second, she's playing the game hard, while totally hanging under the radar. She reels in Shamar, tells him that her alliance wants him and plots against the cool kids. Nice!
The other important thing that happened is that Reynold found an immunity idol. This would have been interesting enough, but it gets better. Laura (again, nice to meet you!) sees "a bulge" in Reynold's pants (I am not even making this up.) and can't mention anything to her tribe mates, as it's right before they are all leaving to go to Tribal Council. (Oh yeah, the Fans lost the immunity challenge....) So, she VERY cleverly brings it up at Tribal. Again... "I saw a bulge in Reynold's pants." So Reynold, because he's not super smart, has to think on the spot and he just confesses. Yeah, I've got the idol and I'm going to play it tonight. Brilliant move by Laura to flush out the idol. Whether he plays it or not (he didn't), now everyone knows he has it. Also, we got to talk at length at Tribal Council about a bulge in someone's pants. Hee.
So who had to go home? Reynold's GF, Allie. We saw this coming already, didn't we? You don't start cuddling on day one and expect not to get voted out. It's a dumb move. As I said last time, it's always the girl who gets booted first, too. They keep the dudes around longer to win challenges. So, I had no sympathy for her at the end when she said she'd been a fan for half her life (oh man!) and loves the show so so much.... Well then, you should know better, dummy. That's like Survivor 101. Also, if you're going to form a 'cool kids' alliance of couples, you'd better understand math. Four out of ten is not a majority. They counted on everyone else being as annoyed with Shamar as they were. And maybe everyone else is annoyed with Shamar. It's possible that Shamar is annoyed with Shamar. (Are you enjoying Shamar's come-back to everything..? "Shut up!" heh...) But they forgot that it's Survivor and not high school. You have to be smart - not just pretty - to win Survivor. Now Eddie, Hope and Reynold are on the outs with the group & they'll have to suck up. Especially Hope. She should be trying to make friends FAST. But I don't hold out a lot of hope for Hope. She better pray that Baby causes trouble over in the Faves camp.
