Afraid the make a move
Very Early in this sseason the guys simply dominated the first six reward/immunity challenges against what appeared to be a overmatched, unorganized women's tribe who couldn't get out of its own way. Then...... well then the tough alpha male tribe who was kicking anyone's ass who was a female.....well they decided to do what every red blooded male would do at this point of a game they are dominating, they changed course and gave the keys to the kingdom to a college aged, gay, republican who managed to offend the asians, the blacks and the little people of the world in the period of about ten minutes. Why? Because I wasn't there to stop it you idiots so don't blame me.
Can anyone stop Kim
It has been quite apparent that Kim has been the best player all season and the only way she can lose is if she loses immunity in the final four and the the other three vote her out. I am not even sure if they vote her out at that point. Sorry to say but even the women aren't picking up Kim's total domination. It appears that Christina and Alicia want to vote out either Chelsea and Sabrina and vice versa. No one even metions Kim's name in any conversation. How does that happen?
Strength-Balance-Memory
Cross a balance beam maize to arrive at some cargo netting to pick up some puzzle pieces that will provide with you clues to numbers which will unlock a combination lock. This was one of the better challenges of the year. Alicia who claims to be running the show gets out to a big lead but for some reason begins untying the knots to other players bags of puzzle pieces. For someone who is a school teacher, she didn't pay attention to the directions of Mr. Probst very well. It was at this point my cable lost the picture but I still had sound. It was sort of like listening to Helen Keller or Stevie Wonder perform a challenge. Nothing like blindfolding the audience. Kim wins the challenge.
Tribal Council
It is very apparent that Alicia and Christina are going to vote for Chelsea and that Sabrina and Chelsea are going to vote for Alicia. Kim is the swing vote and she even talks about taking Alicia and Christina to the final because she feels she can beat them easier. She still has her hidden idol and my question is, will she give it to her bestest bud Chelsea. OH YEAH, Kim makes the comment that she wishes she never showed Chelsea the idol way back when. Well no shit Dick Tracy, nothing good ever happens from showing someone an hidden idol, that's why its called a hidden idol. Once again, none of the women really think they are going home tonight. Alicia gets voted out and her exit speech she says a lot and then basically kicks her bud Christina, "You still suck." I don't get it and haven't gotten the hatred toward Christina all season long. What has she done to deserve that?
Back at camp.
Chelsea takes her shot at Christina when in a confessional she says it is a joke that Christina is still there. WOW. We will see how this effects things in the future for Chelsea.
Fallen Comrades Walk
This is usually a big waste of time except for Matt who was voted out third and his comment, "I was the best player." Really? First guy out and you played the best game? Must be a math major.
Final Challenge
I was very glad that is wasn't one of those let's see who can hold a stick longer.
Take a long stick with a handle on the end to pick up clay pots and move them through a metal maize and then stack ten of them on top of one another. The big key was the entire maize contraption was built on top of a spring which moved with a slight touch. I was really hoping Christina would win and she went head to head with Kim who won again.
Tribal Council
Before and during tribal council Christina who is obviously the odd woman out makes no real effort to gain support and gets voted out. I understand the numbers game being 3 against 1 but for someone who is a salesman, make a pitch.
Final Day
We wake to see Sabrina sitting on the beach watching the sun come up and find out she was laid off from her job shortly before going on Survivor. That would suck.
Final Tribal
Chelsea stands up and bascially says she and Kim worked the decisions together to vote out people. Sabrina says she stayed in the background and didn't work hard at challenges because she didn't want to stand out. Kim says she loves this game.
Final Council
Alicia says she would have won had she made it to the final. Tarzan talked about his wife and that was about it. Kim is voted the winner.
Final Analysis
A few observations. Even though Colton had to be air lifted out early because he got sick, he changed the course of this game early on. And he made the most honest remark last night, the game got boring after her left. The only person who attempted to really change the course of the game was Troy who laid out the girls strategy and no one listened. Alicia and Colton proved that people can still be assholes. I don't think Chelsea got anyone's vote to win the game basically because she was a little snarky and snooty throughout the game. Kim, well Kim deserved to win because she played hard and she didn't send other people to do her dirty work.
An average season topped off by a pretty good reunion show. Alicia cried, Tarzan cried, Colton was Colton and we got to see Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory. Sounds like they are bringing back three former playerspeople who had to leave due illness or injury. Should be good.
One last thing it is time once again to apply to Survivor. I will be sending out my latest application tape for your review over Memorial Weekend.
