Never Hide an Idol in Your Pants

Bikal Night 3 So we start off night 3 with Brandon laying into Dawn about voting off Francesca. “She is one of the nicest people ever……..” yadda, yadda, yadda. Making enemies this early in the game is never good. Dawn goes off the cry. I will give everyone a minute to collect themselves……………….there you go, wipe your tears and blow your nose its time to get moving folks. Gota Day 4 We see Shamar, the marine guy who used to serve our country, work out on beaches and carry a gun, do what he always does and that is sit around and watch everyone else work. He is conserving his energy for his afternoon nap. Sherri talks to Shamar about being in her six person vs. the breakfast club, how is my hair looking, we are cooler than you are group of four. Shamar hugs her and thanks her. Dude you just don’t get it, Sherri is very smart and only wants to bring you along because you are registered to cast a vote in Survivorville and you help to keep them in the majority. Back at Bikal Brandon, Cochran and Philip are talking about their alliance and Brandon agrees with everything that Philip is saying. Brandon then runs back to main camp to tell Brenda, Corrine, Eric and Dawn that Philip is in indeed crazy. Yes Brandon we watched a few years ago when Philip was on previously, nut job #1 is in indeed. However, you are becoming that kid who gets beat up on the playground because you tell on people. Now go over there and sit down and shut up. We’ll come get you when we need the gum scraped off the bottom of the study hall desks. Immunity Cool task. Three people get on a raft the three people get pulled by a rope tied to a pulley which is attached to an anchored raft in the bay. The three on the raft then dive into the water to release seven life savers rings and return to shore to play toss across. Evidently the newbies sent three girls out who have never been in the water in their life because none of them do a very good job of going underwater. The veteran end up winning three to one and win immunity and fishing gear. Gota Tribe Meeting Upon returning to camp Reynold immediately calls out Shamar for doing nothing around camp. Survivor fans, here are two clear cut examples of how not to win Survivor. Number 1, don’t do anything around camp. People don’t have to be told you are lazy because unless they are Helen Keller or Stevie Wonder, they can see you are lazy. Number 2 example, not knowing your standing your game. Reynold has no clue that he is in the minority and then calls out someone who is in the majority in front of everyone. Yes folks this how you lose the game. I want to thank both Reynold and Shamar for demonstrating these examples. Is that an idol in your pocket? The group of six talks about voting out Allie out who is very close to Reynold. If you remember Reynold and Allie were snuggling the first night which isn’t against the rules but when people see you snuggling they make assumptions, you get your picture posted on TMZ, Taylor Swift writes another song about you and things go to hell in a hand basket very quickly. Matt might have opened his mouth too much as when he was standing talking to Sherri, Mike and Laura, he openly says, “I have a choice to make, I can vote with them or with you.” OMG? Dude really. You should have just put a sign up saying, “I am an undecided voter.” and hang up for all to see. The group of four talks about getting rid of Shamar because, well because Shamar is lazy and has a bad attitude. FYI, I just mentioned in the previous paragraph, I don’t think Reynold has much self awareness. Here is example #2. He goes out and does a great thing and finds a hidden immunity idol without the benefit of a clue. (And yes it was in a tree. What are the odds?) However, Reynold must be part blonde,,,,,standing out in the middle of a clearing, he pulls his pants up and attempts to hide the bulge in his pants which is of course an idol. No folks, he doesn’t do this in the middle of the trees or in a secluded area, but right out in the open where Laura happens to be sitting and sees his bulge. Laura being Laura she notices the bulge and realizes it must be an idol. The timing benefitted Reynold because everyone was leaving for Tribal Council so she had no time tell anyone in her alliance of six. Tribal Council They should just bring Dr. Phil into tribal council anymore because it has become a bitch fest. Shamar basically says Reynold is mad at him because his alliance only has four people to his six. Shamar is correct but as in Reynold’s situation, Shamar should check his standing as he is number six in a six person alliance which ain’t the place to be my friend. Michael points out that we didn’t have much strategy in the challenge and Shamar says, “No ones listens to me.” You need to earn some respect first. Laura then steps up and says she saw someone with a bulge in their pants but won’t call them out in front of everyone. Reynold take out his idol and tells everyone he plans to play it tonight. Yeah, I don’t believe that one for a minute. Shamar gets the first four votes and then Allie is voted out with six votes. What did we learn tonight? Be very aware of where you stand in this game at all times and most importantly, six is greater than four and you can ask my first grade teacher Mrs. Head. Next Week Shamar goes ballistic because people voted for him. Self Awareness my friend, self awareness.
