Anybody got any visine?

Anybody got any visine? Gota camp after the tribal council. Hope was voted out last week meaning Eddie and Reynold are now outnumbered 6-2 in the Gota tribe. Eddie starts talking to the tribe as a group, “Where do you think we are going from here.” He then goes to make a confessional video, “They just voted out the prettiest girl.” That comment in itself speaks volumes on how bad he has played this game from day one. As I hit the rewind button on the DVR and go back to day one, we see the foursome of Eddie, Reynold, Ally and Hope off by themselves in the water declaring to the world that they are the pretty people of Survivor this year not taking into account that their tribe consists of ten people meaning they are outnumbered six to four. You see Survivor doesn’t have the luxury of electoral votes so whether you are pretty are not doesn’t matter. It took Eddie nine days, let me repeat that, nine days to figure out that six is greater than four. DAH, it only took me three days to figure out that six is more than four. Yea. Bikal Day 8 Philip continued assigning nicknames to all the players in his tribe. I started to write down what each players nickname was and then I thought to myself, is six really greater than four? Reward Challenge Once again a very cool challenge. Each tribe had to move two of their players from platform to platform which were placed about fifteen feet apart in the water. Two of the players would step on portable bridge pieces to move to the next platform. As each portable piece took two people to hold up, there was a lot of teamwork involved moving the pieces as well as balancing the two smaller players over the water. The entire tribe then swims out to one last platform and each member must be up on the top step balanced together. The favorites win this challenge and are rewarded by having a four foot tall, sixty year old tribesman from the area visit their camp, bring them food and show them how to cook. Cochran got a little jealous when all the women leaned in and kissed the tribesman before he left. Gota We see Reynold attempting to talk his tribe into voting out Laura at the next tribal council simply because she is very weak in challenges. Here is my review of Laura so far. She is the slowest swimmer, the slowest runner, can barely carry a five pound rice bag and she tells everyone in camp what everyone else is thinking. Hmmm, should we vote for the lazy guy or the weak girl? (For those of you who can’t see me, I am sitting here in my office with my arms folded, scratching my chin with my left hand and looking out the window with this thought provoking look on my face and saying, “hmmmmmmm.”) My eye Shamaar got something in his eye the day before the hurricane and now it is swollen up. Medics arrive with Jeff and they tell Shamaar he has scratched his eye and they think he should leave. Just leave already dude. Weakest, worst and sorriest medivac in the history of Survivor. Shamaar you lazy slob go home, you didn’t contribute anything to this season. I don’t know if you heard the entire messages and sub-messages that the other tribe members were saying as he left, “Sorry you have to leave,,,,,wish you had left earlier” and “Hope your eye gets better,,,,,you lazy ass little piece of crap.”, “Say hi to your mom when you get home,,,,,,hope she smacks the hell out you.” Anyhow, that’s what I heard. I will end by saying this, If they picked this guy over me then my application videos must really, really, really suck. Challenge Five members of each tribe will take turns one by one of swimming out to a platform, climbing a set of stairs, grabbing a paddle and then jumping off the ledge outward to smash a suspended tile which has a key attached. They will then grab the floating key, and swim back to shore. Once all five keys are retrieved two other members of the tribe will use the keys to open up a locked chest which contains sandbags. They will throw the sandbags at blocks of wood which are situated on a balance beam. The Favorites win again even after a comeback by the fans that was spearheaded by Reynold. Had Sherri not fallen so far behind in the beginning the fans might have won. Pre-Tribal Council Matt and Mike are impressing as the two smartest players in this game. They hash over the idea of voting out Eddie or Reynold over their friend Laura. They realize Laura is a vote but she also brings nothing to the game to help them win challenges. Matt also realizes the group needs to get Reynold’s hidden idol out of the game. Sherri doesn’t like getting rid of another in her alliance as she lost Shamaar earlier in the day. Tribal Council Basically what was discussed was loyalty vs. strength. If the tribe keeps Laura then the numbers stay strong but if you keep her you lose a strong person in either Eddie or Reynold who are by far the best at challenges. Sherri makes the best point in that, “We have had Reynold and Eddie at challenges so far and have lost with them, what’s the difference if we keep them or not?” Good point. Laura gets sent packing so it is evident winning a challenge is more important at this point on the game. What did we learn The Gota tribe now has a four to two split. ( I will have to check, is four more than two? I will get back with you next week.) Next Week Apparently Brandon goes nuts at camp and starts throwing the food on the ground.
