I was hoping somebody would step up to the plate and make this season worth watching again and it happened. Troy and his "Everybody is against me," attitude worked. The everybody is against me attitude usually works until "The everybody beats those who which everybody was against." Did that make sense to everybody?
Day 25
Troy lashes out at Alicia who reminds him that she didn't vote against him last week. Oops dude, everybody wasn't against you afterall. Chelsea tells Troy that it is just a game and to take it like a man the way Jay did last week when he was voted out. And Sabrina tells him to "don't take it personnally." As I have mentioned before many, many times, it is always the guy who is holding the gun that says, "Don't take this personnally," just before he shoots his buddy.
Auction
If I hadn't watched one episode of this season and tuned in just to watch the auction, it would have told me a lot of where people stood in the game simply by watching what items they bid on. You must be a historian of this game to realize each time they do an auction there is always one item being sold which will help a player later in the game and it was announced prior to the game that such an item existed. The player voting on the valuable item usually is hanging on and on the short side of the vote. When Chelsea, Sabrina, Kim and Kat all bid on food items and a shower that was the indicator they think they are in charge in this game.
Troy realized that already. The best part though was Alicia buying a letter from home from her father. My Cardinal Rule #7 states, "As in baseball, there is no crying in Survivor.......except when you get a letter/video/or visit from a loved one." BUT ONLY THEN AND NEVER ANY OTHER TIME....EVER. Troy buys the item which gives him an advantage after a bidding war with Christina. I question why this became a bidding war when Troy knew if he simply bid $ 500.00 that it would be his. Oh yeah, Kat buys a cake that she has to share with everyone and they have 60 seconds to eat it.
Best commercial line of the year
The commercial with the non-athletic guys playing basketball. The one guys says he saves money by, "Having my kids hitchhike to school." Now that's God Damned funny I don't care who you are.
Back at Camp
Troy reads his note from the auction and finds out he gets a free ride into the second stage of the next challenge. He openly starts looking for a hidden immunity idol so Kim attempts to rally the troops to look for the idol as she announces to them, "It is eight against one." Troy's mouth and actions have everyone nervous and Kim says, "If Troy wins the next immunity, that throws everything into Chaos." So why didn't you bid on the valuable item at the auction instead of the food and shower? I think she is getting a little too cocky now.
Challenge
The first four people to untie a huge knot moves on to the second round. Troy gets a free pass so Kim, Tarzan and Chelsea earn their way to meet Troy. The second round is taking coconuts and bouncing them off a trampoline to break targets. Tarzan and Troy move on. Troy then wins immunity by breaking his next set of targets with a slingshot. He taunts the group with "This is my island." Yeah Troy, but you are still out-numbered 8 - 1.
Back at camp
Tarzan approaches Troy and asks him to calm down. Tarzan then goes out into the water to give Leif a sponge bath. I guess that's what plastic surgeons do on vacation? Troy starts working Alicia and Christina to come over to vote with Tarzan, Leif and him. He points out that Sabrina, Kim, Kat and Chelsea are four and that they could have five. I think Alicia is really considering this now.
Tribal Council
Sabrina and Troy go back and forth like they were brothers and sisters, don't get me started on brothers and sisters. The only thing Troy said that was totally stupid was "We are going to vote Kim out." Why would you say that in front of everybody? However, going back to being a historian of this game, this would have been the best time to vote her out as she has a hidden idol. The past has shown us that people who have an idol and get blindsided are usually voted out right about this point of the game. Their ego tells them that no one will vote for them this early. Leif gets voted out but something strange happened here. Sabrina, Kat and Chelsea voted for Leif while their fearless leader Kim voted for Tarzan. Something tells me Kim isn't as secure as you might think.
Next Week.
Troy continues to work his magic and has the ear of both Sabrina and Kat. Sabrina might be the person who knows this game the best. She hasn't said or done anything stupid and realizes Troy doesn't have any friends so he might be a good person to align with and take to the final. She does continue to push him to say dumb things in front of the group then backs off.

Unless..............
Was this predictable or what? Before the show started last night I wrote down one name: Jay.
This season needs a shakeup immediately or it will get even more boring. The girls are now up 6-3 so the next three weeks we will see Troy, Tarzan and Lief voted out unless..............................
Treemail
Treemail arrives and the players are instructed to pull rocks from a bag to determine teams. They play a game of coconut on a string toss. Red teams wins so Kat, Troy, Jay, Alicia and Tarzan get to eat barbeque on an island. Not much suspense.
Depends Commercial
Actress Lisa Rini ( I think that was her name ) is asked to put on a pair of Depends in a commercial which becomes the highlight of the night. Thanks
Day 24
Kim and Chelsea talk about voting out the men. Here in lies the first part of my unless........ comment. Somebody has to do the dirty work on convincing Jay that the girls aren't voting for him. Chelsea says she can't lie to people's faces so Kim takes on the task and tells Jay they won't be voting for him. A fact in Survivor history is the people who usually win this game have someone else do the lying. In this case Kim is in charge but just lost huge points with both Troy and Jay because they know she lied. Chelsea may not like lying or she might just be telling Kim this to make her fellow alliance member look bad. Kim's now a proven liar and this could cause her votes if she makes it to the final and enhance wussy Chelsea's chances. Unless........
Challenge
Hold their hand up in the air the longest. Their hands are of course tethered to a large bucket postioned above their head which will soak them with water if they move.
Jeff starts to tempt the players with food to drop out. Of course all the ladies, who have no threat of being voted out, drop out to eat items such as brownies etc., with the exception of Chelsea. She convices the last guy Leif, to drop his hands for hamburgers. She says this will enhance his chances of not being considered a threat. Chelsea wins. Unless..... Here in lies an idea I have had for a long time. Make a challenge like this a double immunity challenge meaning you get two immunity idols if you win. This would lessen the chance that anyone would drop out and throw another nuance into the game much like Redemption Island did. Keep it not boring.
Pre Council
Troy has finally caught on that the women are coming after the men. He tries to convince Jay of this but he won't listen. Troy shows Jay his idol and tells him to consider the possibility. Of oourse Jay, who is a male model, is fully convinced that no one is voting for him. He relays to Kim that Troy is coming after her.
Tribal Council
Alicia makes the only true point of the night when she says people are behaving differently like wearing baggy clothes and taking their bags to tribal council because they might have an idol or might be going home. Ah, the non-verbal communication is starting to rear its ugly head. Troy plays his idol, Kim gets a vote, Alicia gets two votes and Jay is sent packing.
Next week.
Troy has figured out that the girls are in charge........unless........Unless he can convince Christina and Alicia that they are numbers 5 and 6 of a four person girl alliance. I think he can get Christina but he will have his work cut out for him getting one of the others. The only other option is finding another hidden immunity idol, (which my guess would be in a tree) and using it again.

7-Up and Fake Boobs
Dear Andy,
Did Tarzan really ask Chelsea if she was unhappy about the plastic surgery on her boobs?
Jane and Cheetah / Somewhere in the jungle/ Africa
Dear Jane and Cheetah,
Yes he did. I have to agree with Chelsea as from my vantage point, her boob job looks just fine to me and I for one am not unhappy about them it at all. When I say “Them” I am of course referring to her boobs. By the way I hear the value of treehouses has fallen in Africa too, sorry about your luck. Have you re-financed yet?
Andy
Day 19
My first thoughts this week were this, Kim is playing a very smart game and from the teasers, Troyzon is probably going home. It is quite apparent that Kim is playing both sides of the fence with an alliance of girls and then with her old tribe of Chelsea, Kat, Sabrina, Jay, Mike and Troyzon. She basically has 8 of the other 10 people in one alliance or another which makes her a good choice for the final two or three. At this point the only two who can stop her would be her bestest friends Chelsea and Sabrina. Oh yeah, forgot to mention Kim also has an idol in her pocket. She may have the best set up in the history of this game for getting all the way to the end.
7-Up Treemail
Yes folks a big advertiser has stepped up to the plate once again. Not since the “Home Depot build your own shitter challenge,” of a few years back has a sponsor received so much pub on this show. The teams are randomly split up and then Jeff allows them one bottle of 7-Up the first “Uncola of all-time” to be shared by all. Although in my own ranking of soda for making coke-floats with ice cream, 7-Up is third behind Coke and Root Beer. Just sayin’. The tribes must first slide down a huge slide and then bring puzzle pieces back from the water to a large stand where the puzzle will be put together. Did anybody notice that when Leif shot off the slide it looked like he was being sprung loose from his mother’s womb again. The most revealing part of this game was in the school yard pick em’, Tarzan wasn’t chosen by either side. WOW, talk about bitch slapping someone in front of millions of people. They should have just said, “We don’t want you here so go sit over there and watch us play.” Poop talk comes back to haunt Tarzan. Mike, Kim, Christina, Leif and Sabrina win the challenge and get a barbeque and of course a huge cooler of refreshing 7-Up. After the meal Sabrina, Christina and Kim talk about voting out Mike. Apparently he is the second most hated player left behind Tarzan.
Planting the Seed
Kim plants the seed in Troyzon’s head that Mike is coming after him. At first my thought was, she is in control and is taking a chance telling this lie. Then in thinking a little more, she wants Mike gone now and because of her situation and status, she can do this. Troyzon takes the bait and now targets Mike.
Day 22
Tarzan gets into yet another disagreement with Chelsea and point blanks asks her if she had a bad experience with plastic surgery and maybe because he himself is a plastic surgeon that is why she is mad at him. Talk about reaching. We find out that Chelsea had a boob job but her point is well taken that he is reaching when bringing this up. “Smart people have very little common sense sometimes,” I agree. I think it is more Tarzan is used to people doing exactly what he wants, when he wants is done.
Challenge
Move four bags of puzzle pieces which are clasped to a rope which is interwoven into the bridge they are trying to move across. Jay, Kim, Troyzon and Alicia make it across the bridge first so that four get to put their puzzle pieces together. Yes I did say Alicia. She was the Norfolk State of the NCAA tournament of making into the final here. For further explanation, I have no idea where Norfolk State is located in USA and if I have to explain that comment, then shut your computer down and walk over and sit next to Tarzan while the rest of us move on. It appears Kim is going to win, then Alicia, then Troyzon but from no where Jay wins immunity. Chelsea makes a very smart comment about Tarzan. She doesn’t like the guy but she has to put that aside because she realizes a lot of people don’t like him so it would be good to keep him around. Keeping personalities out of the game, very smart. She is not as dumb as her boobs.
Tribal Council
Eleven people at tribal council and no one thinks they are going home. Tarzan makes the best comment in that “Someone is being very deceptive.” DAH. Go back to your corner. Mike is voted out and sadly I didn’t hear his last words so if someone can forward them to me.
Next Week.
Jay takes matters into his own hands and I think he will probably get burned for it.
