A hug and an intervention

A hug and an intervention Shamaar comes back to camp after the vote and explodes at almost everyone. Five days into this game and this guys’ act is getting old. I don’t think in the long history of Survivor that there has ever been a player in more need of a hug and an intervention then this guy. Calm down please. Reynold also announces to the group that they aren’t friends but they need him to win. I actually came into work this morning and re-watched the opening five minutes of last night show two times and finally remembered that old line from Forrest Gump, “Stupid is and stupid does.” Two guys who basically came out in front of everyone and said, “vote me out.” Gota Day 6 Reynold and Eddie know they are on the short end of the stick. Meanwhile mother hen Sherri is playing peace maker with Shamaar. Sherri owns a few fast food restaurants and said she knows how to handle the “Snotty Kids.” I wonder if any of those snotty kid employees watched the show last night? Funny how Shamaar calms down whenever he is around Sherri. Shamaar tells us he isn’t long for this game but then according to Reynold he plays the un-hero when he decides to un-quit. Shamaar also doesn’t want to be the angry black guy anymore. Bikal Day 6 54 year old Philip is very happy to being playing Survivor again and regales of his toiling on the basketball court against kids half his age. I am Larry Bird. No your not, Larry Bird was a slow white guy with a good jump shot and a bad back. You just walk around pretending a super hero in red underwear. Malcolm and Corrine go out and find an idol hidden where? Anybody? Buehler? Yes of course, it was hidden in a tree. Of course Malcolm comments, “Game, Set, Match.” Dude, never say that out loud. In fact Andrea is already making plans to get rid of your buddy Corrine, Speaking of Corrine, this has to be her nicer twin sister playing this time around. Last time she on Survivor I wanted to blindside her with a two-by-four to the back of her head. What a frickin’ bitch she was, didn’t like anybody. Maybe, just maybe somebody gave her a hug and an intervention. Cochran loves the Wednesday at 8:00 pm Survivor time and he is now living it everyday. Brandon mentions that if people lie to him he will pee in the beans and rice. Note ot self: If I ever get picked to play Survivor and Brandon is on my team, I will either hide the beans and rice or never eat them if he cooks them. Challenge Great challenge. Everybody swims out to a sharked caged area made of bamboo. They all must climb over the wall to get inside the cage which appears to sit in about six or seven feet of water. They must un-tie under water knots which secure two sets of doors and then pull a heavy chest to shore. They must then move this chest to a wood plank bridge and pull the chest across it. They also must use a treble hook to toss across two open areas and hook the drawbridge planks to fill in the two holes. From all looks and efforts each chest needed nine people to move it. The Favorites beat the Fans easily. They also win a tarp, a couple of chairs, pillows, blankets, a radar detector, A Sham Wow Rag, and a year’s supply of Rice O’ Roni. (Just wanted to see if you were paying attention.) Gota Day 7 Shamaar and Reynold start arguing about the goggles that Shamaar wanted during the challenge as he needed the goggles because he has contacts but Reynold wouldn’t give them to him. For the love of God they are a pair of goggles, people can go underwater without goggles, close your eyes. Mike, Matt, Shamaar, Sherri, Laura and Julia will split their vote, the guys voting for Eddie and the girls for Hope. Of course Julia runs to Reynold and Eddie and tells them the plan and that she wants to get rid of Shamaar and can get Laura to come on board. Dumbass move # 874 in the history of Survivor. You are a player in a group of six going to a group of three and telling them the plan? Why? Take your place and hold it now, nobody wants you gone. Paranoia is a terrible personality trait to have in Survivor and Laura has it. It has been proven through the years that if you continue to ask if people they are voting for you then you are in effect doing is asking people to vote for you. Shut the hell up girl. Reynold of course puts the horse before the cart when he thinks Shamaar is going home and says “This will be an epic tribal council.” No, no it won’t dude. Tribal Council Reynold begins by telling us that Shamaar lost it at camp after last tribal council because some people voted for him. We next find out that Shamaar has banned both Reynold and Eddie from talking to him. Hope is 99% sure she is going home. Matt points out that Shamaar gets upset easily. No shit Dick Tracy, stating the obvious. Julia says Shamaar is weak. The vote is taken and it Shamaar, Eddie and Hope all get three votes. A re-vote is taken where Shamaar, Eddie and Hope aren’t allowed to vote and Hope is sent packing. What did we learn? On the fans side of the fence Sherri appears to be the front runner. She fits the mold of past winners Tina and Denise, motherly, doesn’t get rattled, calms people down and doesn’t come across as a threat. People seek her out to talk. On the fans side I would say Andrea and Malcolm. Andrea is playing this game like she did before and if she learned anything, she doesn’t want to play it too hard. Next week Hurricanes and Rats
