Dummies Guide to Being Stupid

If you haven’t watched last night’s episode of Survivor stop reading right now. I said stop reading right now. Okay? Okay. If Hollywood were to write a movie about last night’s episode it would be a story about a guy who wants to rob a bank. The twist is, he goes into the bank and holds a gun to his own head and says, “Give me all your money or I’ll shoot myself.” I was totally confused watching it too. I won’t give away the ending until the ending. Gota Day 10 – The Turning Point Matt and Eddie both speculate that getting rid of two players last week made the camp better because the most negative player and then the weakest physical players are now gone. What Matt needs to remember is his alliance had a 6 – 2 advantage which is now a 4 – 2 advantage. Reynold speaks up that his idol is now gone and that the others in his tribe with the exception of Eddie are useless. Nice team spirit there guy. Bikal Day 10 Brandon is doing a slow burn because he thinks Phillip is disrespecting him and he is letting everyone know this. Cue the foreshadowing music, dohn – dohn – dohn. Reward Challenge Two tribe members of each tribe are instructed to each hold a rope attached to a separate pulley and supporting a net. Members of the other tribes are to shoot heavy coconuts into the two nets of the opposing teams making the nets heavy and hard to hold. The heavier the nets the harder they are to hold until, yes you guessed it, to the point where the player holding the net can no longer sustain the weight. Phillip wins the challenge for the Favorites tribe winning them food and drink for the evening. Oh yes, during the challenge Jeff points out that Sherri from the fans team is “worthless” in this challenge. Quick comment here, that dude ain’t playing the game, shut the hell up. By the way, I noticed Brenda for the Favorites has a very noticeable limp and had her knee wrapped as well. If I was in that camp I would tactfully point that out to others. It is often times the little things that get you further in this game. Gota Day 11 Are Matt and Reynold bonding or just pretending to? Sherri makes the most candid and obvious comment once again, “We kept Eddie and Reynold around because they would help us win in challenges and guess what, we lose again.” And Jeff called her useless. Then the entire tribe starts looking for the idol, with the exception Eddie. Here’s the message that sends to me, everyone in that tribe is scared now and at this point the leader of the entire tribe is in the minority. Makes no sense to me either. As the searching continues we see Reynold find the idol once again. I am not really a fan of his but to make the show better you know he had to be the one to find it. Bikal Day 11 Other wise known as the day the beans and rice hit the beach Brandon and Phillip are bickering, then they shakes hands and make up, then they fight then………well then Brandon takes ownership of his elimination. Brandon tells his tribe that he had thought about peeeing in the rice and of course they thank him for not doing that. I know when I was younger that we always prayed before supper, “Bless O Lord and these thy gifts and thanks for not letting anyone pee on our food.” Then Brandon finally goes over board and dumps both the bag of rice and the bag of beans onto the ground. Game, set, match to Mr. Hantz. Challenge Both tribes walk up to the challenge area and Corrine of the Favorites Tribe announces that the Favorites are going to forfeit the challenge. Brandon tells Phillip to shut up and Phillip tells Brandon to grow up. Jeff asked Brandon to walk over to him and while insults are being exchanged, Jeff continues to give Brandon a shoulder massage. Brandon is voted out. The dumbest part of this elimination was Brandon had friends on his team who would helped to take him a long way in this game. As I mentioned he was the guy who walked into the bank holding a guy to his own head saying give me the money or I will shoot myself and everyone said, “Okay…..shoot yourself.” I think he was proud of the way he went out and I think he is a dumbass. What did we learn The Gota Tribe has no leadership at all, they are lost. Bikal Tribe ridded themselves of a major problem but, you never and I mean never intentionally give up a player in this game. I think somebody unexpected is going to step up and lead, maybe Andrea. Next Week. Tribe Swap.
