Cuddling vs. Can't Do

There are some things you should always do on Survivor like pitch in and help, make friends and generally be yourself. There are things you should never, ever do like tell your tribe, “I can’t do that challenge.” Nor do you have someone tell you about a hidden immunity idol clue and then go behind their back and find it yourself. Breaking a trust is huge in this game. Quick review We see that Jonathon Penner has found an idol which was actually the handle to the rice box, very clever by the way. Lisa is still crying. RC tells her best bud Abi about the clue she found on where to find the idol. To quote Homer Simpson, “DOH.” Let’s all recite the Hidden Immunity Idol crede, “Never tell anyone you have the idol –OR- more importantly never tell anyone what the clue says, unless of course you have already found the idol.” Matsing Day 6 This tribe has already lost two challenges and instead of talking about how to improve they are talking about who to vote out next. Why don’t your try to win a challenge instead of talking about losing. Someone forgot to tie the raft down so they have lost their raft when the tide came in. To quote Homer Simpson a second time, “DOH II.” Tandang This is going to sound like a soap opera but……RC tells Abi that she has found a clue to the idol and even tells her what the clue says. Abi immediately runs to Peter and tells him she doesn’t trust RC but at the same time breaks that trust by telling Peter that RC has told her the words in the clue to find the idol. Abi then goes out and find the idol. Of course her comment was, “I found the idol, I knew where it was the whole time.” No you didn’t because the idol was sitting in your camp for nine days girl, right in front of your face. Sound like a reality show doesn’t it? Immunity Challenge Dive into the water and swim out to rope which is anchored to the bottom of the lake. There are puzzle pieces attached and each progressive piece is tied deeper into the water. It appears the last piece is about twelve to fifteen feet underwater. Once again Matsing finishes last meaning they must vote someone out. Angie, who is all of 20 years old couldn’t even go two feet under water to untie the first puzzle piece. 2 feet underwater people, yes two feet underwater which is about one inch deeper than your bathtub. Girl must have really rough time if she drops her soap during her Saturday night bath. Halfway through the challenge Angie says, “I can’t do this.” NO, NO, NO, never admit you can’t do a challenge while a challenge is going on. Of course not to be outdone, Russell can’t even climb up the two foot ladder out of the water. Maybe he should have had one of those monitors around his neck, “Help I’ve fallen and can’t climb a two foot ladder.” Let’s review, one person can’t go down two feet and the other can’t go up two feet. By the way RC was hands down the best swimmer of everyone in this challenge. Hopefully people took notice as there will be more water challenges to come. She could be a huge threat in upcoming individual challenges. Tandang The only thing I have to say about Tandang is this, Artis complained that Mike broke the goggles during the challenge. Artis can indeed speak after nine days of not speaking. My thoughts were Survivor had recruited a monk to play this game. Matsing They are going to tribal council and it is quite apparent that Russell and Angie are on the chopping block. At this point it comes down to who is the weakest link, two people who can’t do much in challenges really. My vote at this point would be to keep Russell simply because he will be loyal but will be the easier vote off later on because his mouth will get him into trouble. Angie cuddled with Malcom early on and he realizes that, “There is no cuddling at night on Survivor.” There is no crying nor cuddling allowed on Survivor. Tribal Council Denise says she has given up a lot leaving family and clients behind……….cue the violins please. Everyone who has ever played this game has left something or somebody behind. Although I think Denise is by far one of the smartest players in this game. Malcolm says Angie and Russell both struggled and the time to step up and play harder is now, “This ain’t sixth grade dodge ball.” Angie is voted off. Next Week Mike Skupin sustains his 57th injury of the year and Matsing must win a challenge or at the very least finish second so they don’t have to vote someone out.
