I didnapos;t get a chance to post about last weekapos;s show, but my pre-season pick for Sole Survivor, Jacquie, went down the tubes. The core group of the newly reshuffled but still dismal Fang tribe chose to keep useless Kelly instead of the clearly useful Jacquie, who did great in a losing cause durign the Immunity Challenge, but was perceived as too close to Ace and Sugar. (Yes, Ken Hoang, Kelly
is hot, but your pick of her during the Tribal Reshuffle was the worst move of the year and you made it worse by wussily going along with the anti-Jacquie paranoia.)
So now weapos;re up to Day 13. Fang is still starving and still bickering, and Kota is still doing great. In fact, Kota is doing ever
better since the core group of Charlie, adorable-blue-eyed-hunk Marcus, and Corinne no longer have Ace to worry about
and theyapos;ve picked up a new warrior in -- of all people -- Randy, who is the Storminapos; Norman of this
Survivor season. Usually, when people blow off about how bad their tribemates are, they canapos;t back up their words when itapos;s their time to come up big. Not so with Randy. Determined to make a case for him to stay in the new Kota, he came up HUGE in last weekapos;s Immunity Challenge and this weekapos;s Reward Challenge ... And he made the Play of the Year during the Immunity Challenge Noticing that Sugar was doing a poor job of steering a blindfolded Ace to intercept the rolling balls, Randy yelled out during the final roll, "Ace Stand still" And Ace, like a kid suddenly thrust into an Olympic version of Simon Says, did
exactly that as the ball rolled past him and Sugar stayed silent. Brilliant fakeout
Oh well, as depressingly inevitable as it was to see Fang lose again, at least they
finally did the right thing and ditched the increasingly disturbed G.C., who (if youapos;re feeling charitable) seemed to be approachng a psychotic break or (if, like me, youapos;re not feeling charitable) joined the recently increasing list of
Survivor quitters. What, youapos;re hungry? People are backstabbing? Iapos;m shocked
Shocked The only tension was whether the core group of Fang would throw out the 9/10ths-gone G.C. Or blindside Sugar, whose Immunity Idol they found in a secret search of her bag(). OK, sure, itapos;s rude and tacky to search someoneapos;s bag, but hey ... Itapos;s
Survivor and itapos;s been done before. In fact, itapos;s SO been done before that weapos;ve had fake idols planted for that very reason Anyway, it was a bad move by Sugar not to hide her Idol somewhere outside of camp, but itapos;s done. At least the old Fang members like Crystal and Ken decided -- for once -- to think of the short-term gain instead of obsesssing over far-off concerns. Start winning some challenges, Fang,
then start worrying about the Merge
Last thought: Did you see the self-professed straight guy Marcus take a nibble out of Charlieapos;s shoulder? I tell you,
Survivor: Brokeback Mountain will be here in time for November sweeps, baby
