Balut and Throat Punches

Bikal Night 19 The tribe goes back to came having just voted out Julia. Mike is the last of the fans crew left in their tribe and he thanks them for not voting him out. Thanking people for not voting you out of the game isn’t a good thing because it means you are probably next on the list to get voted out. Philip gathers Dawn and Corinne and tells them that he threw the challenge and wanted Julia gone. Corrine says, “How convenient that he says he threw the challenge, AFTER he loses the challenge.” Bikal Day 20 Corrine begins talking with Dawn that she doesn’t think Sherri or Eddie from the other tribe have a clue on how to play this game. Okay, first of all they are on the other tribe, what difference does is make now if they don’t know how to play the game? Secondly, isn’t having dumb people who don’t know how to play this game an advantage to you? DAH? Dawn picks up all her belongings and tells everyone she needs to take a walk alone. I understand her need to be alone but taking everything with you that you own? She looks at the camera and says she hates the back stabbing that goes on in this game. You don’t like back stabbing but for the second time in your life you signed up to take a trip half way around the world to play a game that centers around what? Backstabbing. Gota Day 20 A boat arrives with a message telling them to pack everything and get on the boat. They are taken back to Bikal Camp and the Merge has happened. Malcom comes up with the name Enil Edam for the tribe which is Madeline spelled backwards. His mom’s name is Madeline. My mom’s name is mom and if you spell her name backwards you get mom. Just sayin’. The tribe opens a huge chest which contains a lot of food and Mike comments that, “Dawn jumped right into mom mode and starting serving people and doing things like cutting the cheese, literally.” Philip starts talking to Andrea about getting rid of the big 4 or Eddie, Reynold, Malcolm and Erik. Meanwhile, Corrine is talking to Malcolm about getting Reynold, Eddie, Mike and Erik and having an alliance of six and work on taking out Philip or Sherri. The thing about Sherri is she is an easy vote out so you really don’t need to take her out now. And my big question is, “Where the hell is Brenda?” Of the twelve people left she hasn’t said anything on her second time playing this game, totally opposite of her first time around. However, no one is talking about voting her out either. The bad part about not talking to anyone is when it comes time to vote for a winner…..no one is talking about you either. Best Horrible Food Eating Challenge Ever Not your mom’s Thanksgiving Dinner here. First round two teams of six eat worm-like beatles that are still alive and moving on the plate. These things were the size of your little finger. The first three of from each group to totally eat the two bugs move on to the second round. Andrea, Eddie, Malcolm, Philip, Cochran, and Mike move on. These six then had to eat a pile of slimy worms with Malcolm, Cochran and Eddie moving on. Balut is next food item which is my all-time favorite food item in the history of Survivor. It is an egg with a pre-formed small bird embryo inside. Yes folks I can promise you Balut would never be a food item on a Grand Slam breakfast at Denny’s. Malcolm and Cochran win and get the final treat of eating pig brains. Cochran wins immunity and does his best Rocky boxing dance in celebration. David truly beat Goliath today. Pre-Tribal Council Oh yes when the merge comes the paranoia goes up three-fold. Cochran does point out that everyone is a friend of Malcolm and that he indeed beat him in the challenge. Malcolm’s cockiness comes in again as he allows Cochran to enjoy his win and to cross it off his bucket list of winning a challenge in Survivor. Philip wants Eddie or Reynold gone because the Boston Rob theory is to take a big player out now. Corrine wants Sherri gone which really makes no sense because Sherri is an easy vote out at any time. The discord goes further as Corrine then starts to make an effort to rid herself of Philip and makes plans to do so and mentions this to Dawn. The problem with running your mouth to a small group of people on a deserted island is word will probably get back to the person you are targeting. Philip finds out about Corrine’s plan (because Dawn told him of the plan) and he is pissed. Dawn and Cochran are talking to Corrine who seems to have a double alliance. Corrine says she wants to “Throat Punch Phillip.” Wow, not kick him the crotch or run over him with a car, no we want to throat punch the guy. The discussion between Cochran and Dawn centers around Corrine and they soon realize they would be numbers 6 and 7 in a 7 person alliance. Oh shit here we go again they think. Andrea is talking Erik about a certain person who is making plans to rid the group of Philip and rather than say a name Erik asks her to point at the person’s name on the flag who is going after Phillip and she points to Corrine. Wow, Corrine’s secret plan to get rid of Phillip isn’t a secret anymore and you know why? Because she told almost everyone on the island of her plans. Oh my goodness what a dumbass. Tribal Council Mike thinks one of the fans will be next to go. Corrine seems to think a fan will be next to go which brings smiles from many of the players who know she is lying through her teeth. As I have mentioned many, many times before, when if you tell a lie it has to be a lie that is convincing and not one where everyone knows you are lying. Sort of like that one guy, what was his name, oh yeah O.J. Simpson. Sherri then is quoted as saying a top ten dumbass line of all time, “I don’t think any of the fans have a chance of winning this game.” Way to give up there champ, why don’t you just quit right now. The vote starts and Sherri gets the first five votes and then wait a minute, surprise, surprise, Corrine gets the remaining seven votes and is sent packing. What a surprise, NOT. Next Week Are Eddie and Andrea hooking up? Don’t break that Cardinal Rule of hooking up and letting everyone know you are hooking up.
