Cookies and Booby Traps

Ah yes, week two and paranoia is already setting in, that usually doesn't happen until week four or five so this crew is way ahead of the norm. Matsing Night 3 (Paranoia Part 1) Russell tells us he was on the chopping block last week and needs to back off on the leadership role. Bueaty queen Angie and Bartender Malcolm are both cold during the night and cuddle with each other. (By the way Angie helped me write this post and spell checked her work on her car's GPS unit............yeah. Do I need to say more?) Back to Malcolm and Angie. A hunky bartender and a beauty pagent queen hooking up, what are the odds on that? Meanwhile, God's number 1 Survivor disciple Roxy notices this sinful behavior. "We have to get rid of one of them." Cue the side music, "Dun, Dun, Dun." Tandang Day 4 (Paranoia Part 2) Banker RC finds a clue to the hidden immunity idol in the rice. RC shares this information with her best bud Latina born Abi and they dance and hug and do the things that Malcolm and Angie were doing, but I guess since it's two hot girls in bikinis on a beach hugging and touching, THATS ACCEPTABLE. Who am I to judge. RC then is seen talking to Mike and afterward best bud Abi confronts RC about this conversation and tells her, "You were talking to Mike a long time and don't *&^% with me." See, I just proved my point, Mike wasn't wearing a bikini so he isn't allowed to talk with someone wearing a bikini, I am so smart. Kalabaw Day 4 It rains and rains so the tribe moves to a cave in an effort to keep dry. Oh wait a minute, Jonathon Penner stays behind at camp. This tribe may be the strongest but here's the thing, and here comes my, "Have they ever watched a single episode of Survivor....." they are leaving a three time player behind at camp by himself after they have said, "We think he is looking for the idol." So why would you allow this guy to be by himself which would what? Allow him to look for the idol. Of course he finds the idol which, by the way wasn't in a tree. I will give the producers credit for where it was hidden this time, right out in the open where anyone could have found it. Here's the problem that Jonathon has now, he has bonded with no one. Granted he found the idol but that saves him for one day. Matsing Day 5 Roxy tells Russell and Denise about the whole Malcolm and Angie thing. Here's my two cents about doing this. It is a good thing to provide this information about others but....and this is a big but....you need to be very good at the game playing side including challenges if you do this............Unfortunately for Roxy Denise takes notice of here antics. Denise is a very smart player (to remind she is the sex therapist, I will remind you of that often) she is a very smart player and has aligned herself with both Russell and Malcolm. I know it is early in this game bit a tribe who is down early in this game and loses challenges often times form a strong bond when weaker players aren't there to drag them down. Tandang Day 5 Lisa is having a hard time because as she says, "I am an introvert." A message here from the Survivor Emergency Broadcast System, "Attention future players, if you want to do well in this game, don't be introverted." Thank you. Then we get special bonus coverage for a "Survivor Breakdown," moment, complete with subtitles. Honest to God, Survivor now think, we the fans, don't know when someone is breaking down. Yes, we have reached Nirvana. I am talking about the Nirvana of inner peace and not the rock band headed by Kurt Cobain who died of a cocain overdose. I had to clear that up. Anyhow, the tribe thinks Lisa can't be trusted as whe always goes out by herself. I actually feel sorry for her to a point but then again I go back to my most repeated quote, "Have you never watched a single episode of Survivor." What part of the game did you think was going to be easy? Matsing Day 6 Roxy's turn to breakdown because of all the rain. Then the sun comes out and Roxy is seen lying on the beach praying. I will say this about this game, when they say no privacy, they are right. Denise makes the most obvious comment, "People need to dig deep to play this game." Challenge Each team will have two players drag a sled over the sand to pick up heavy puzzle pieces and return to the puzzle table to put together three puzzles. Roxy tells her team that she "Hasn't been drinking much water so she is weak." Really? Play the game and shut up. One of my cardinal rules, "Never show weakness and never tell others you can't do something." Go out and suck at a challenge but when you tell people you suck, you just re-inforced what they already knew. Tandang wins and gets a tarp, blankets and pillows. Kalabaw is second and gets a tarp which of course means Matsing is sending someone homem Matsing Pre-Council Talk centers around either Angie or Roxy. Angie and Malcolm are too close per what Roxy continues to say. Malcolm points out in a confessional that he is probably getting to close to Angie, but she is attractive. He also points out that Roxy does nothing around camp. Cue the music again, "Dun, dun, dun." Tribal Council Russell is emotional because he doesn't like losing. Denise says they are in a stage of accusing each other, but that happens when you lose. Roxy, oh dear Roxy, when Jeff asks her the question, "If you could change anything around camp, what would it be." Her answer is, "We have too much energy at camp and people are always getting wood or water. We need to rest more." Coming fron someone who doesn't work very hard, yeah, not the right thing to say. However, when Jeff asks Angie the same question her reply is, "We need cookies." As God as my witness I sat up in my chair and one second before Jeff said, "Really?", I said the same thing. At that point the looks on everyone faces was the same, "Really." I do attribute this to her age, but "Cookies." Roxy then calls out Malcolm and Angie for their relationship and says, "She is setting up a booby trap." Nice one. Roxy apologizies for the reference but she knew what she was saying. Roxy then tells the group, "Good luck if you pick her over me." Surprise, surprise, boobs win out over God and Roxy is sent packing. In hind sight I think they voted the right person out because quite simply Roxy sucked at challenges, didn't do much at camp and was a negative person. Angie ain't smart but having someone on your team who isn't smart in this game means a vote in your favor and of course she's not very smart which increases your odds of winning. Also, you don't want two people in your alliance who hate each other. Next Week Lise is cautiously optimistic and Skupin might be on the chopping block.
