Fire, Rain, Roosters and Republicans

For those of you who have never watched Survivor on the CBS website, I recommend it. Less commercials and you can pause and go get a beer whenever you want.
Salani
Chelsea seems to think all eyes are on Kat. No shit Dick Tracey. Kat should have been gone last week. Colton and Jonas visit the women's camp just as they were returning from voting out Nina. Not much said but I find it interesting how many times Colton continues to show up at their camp. The guys should take careful notice of this too. The girls are left to fend in a very weak shelter for the duration of a rain storm that night, wet and cold.
Manano
The guys are dry and warm because their fire didn't go out. The wedge is widening between many members of the competing tribes as a couple of the girls come over to borrow some hot embers to start their fire. The return a second time to ask for more embers when they can't get their fire going over at Salani. Talk about kicking a puppy, the ladies can't catch a break. Matt doesn't like it one bit that the girls continue to come over. Colton doesn't like it because, "I am a Republican not a Democrat so I don't believe in handouts." Colton's approval rating just dropped fifteen points in the blue states. Talk about a hypocrit, wasn't this the same Colton who just last week went into the ladies camp asking for someone to be his friend because no one at the guys camp liked him? Funny how that works.
The Gap
As I was watching this I am thinking to myself, the guys have the advantage of having a nice fire and nice shelter and should take this opportunity and be nice about it. The girls keep coming over to ask for help and instead of complaining about it, give them fire and shelter and it will come around in the end. You never know when the momentum might change or Jeff says, drop you buffs and you end up with new teammates. Who gets the nice camp then?
Reward Challenge
Memory test. Look at six items on a shelf for a period of time and then arrange similar items on a different shelf in the same order. The women simply kick the guys ass in this. As reward they get a boat and fishing gear. Oh yeah, did anybody catch Bill's outfit? He looked like a homeless lady with his tie and head wrapped in a buff. All he was missing was the shopping cart filled with crap.
Back at camp
The guys are asking the girls to use their boat and fishing gear because they gave the girls fire and a chance to warm up under their tarp. See above about negotiating when you have the upper hand. Now the girls have something you don't have, they have the upperhand because they got their fire going and now have fish which you don't have nor do you have the tools to go fishing. Think ahead.
Challenge
Blindfolds, obstacle course and puzzle. As I have said before, any challenge involving blindfolds is great. You always see people run into posts with their heads, shins and crotches. To quote Homer Simpson, "It's funny cause its not me."
The guys jump out to a huge lead as they bring back all five bags of puzzle pieces before the woman have two of their bags. Bill starts putting his puzzle together and then Sabrina finally gets to start her puzzle. Amazing turn around again as Sabrina and Bill are each working on the last piece of their tree puzzle and the women win again. Great challenge.
Manano
Trayzon, Tarzan, Colton, Jonas and Leif are talking about voting out either Bill or Matt. Jay walks up and Tarzan asks him to vote with them. Matt walks up and realizes it got quiet so they must be talking about him. He takes Trayzon aside and does a very stupid thing. He invites Trayzon to join his Rooster group which will get rid of the lesser chickens on the island and he should know who those people are. Yeah we all know who the chickens are, the group who has six votes to your two or three. You are toast. Do we even have to vote? Colton tries to get the group to vote for Bill.
Council
Too much talking by many people. First, Matt shows his arrogance when he calls out Tarzan. Bill is just excited to be there. Colton, well Colton brags that he has an idol. But I think Tarzan makes a point that everyone already knows, Colton is in with the women which at this point is okay with him. Matt gets voted out, surprise.
Next Week
Colton goes after Bill and Trayzon is called a liar. The momentum has definitely swung to the women. If anyone on the guys teams is paying attention, they need to get rid of Colton not because he is a bad guy but because of his relationship with the women and he reads people very well. He is in charge at the moment.
