Spoiler alert...Below are a few thoughts on last night's episode of Survivor: Nicaragua. So watch the ep, pee in an already dirty pool, then read what I have to say.
Marty- "I gotta give the idol to somebody, so I'm either giving it to Jeff tonight or I'm giving it to Sash."
Ummm, excuse me? I was all prepared to write about how dumb Brenda and Sash were thinking that asking Marty for his idol was even remotely close to being a plan, but then Marty actually fell for it! And then to top it all off, it didn't end up getting him sent home?!?
I mean come on! How about we ask him for idol? How is that a plan? Who on earth would hand over their idol with no real strategy as to why. I mean when J.T. did it on Heroes vs. Villains, it was dumb, but at least if he was correct in his thinking, it could have been a good move. This move by Marty was just one of desperation and stupidity.
Let's think about this for a second. You can give the young kids your idol, knowing that you are one of two people currently on the outs, and hope that it buys you their loyalty and gets you through this week. He is lucky that these kids don't understand that he is the much bigger threat and failed to vote him out this week, but now it is those same kids that now have the idol and the numbers. Or, you can use the idol to protect yourself this week, and have an even playing field with the kids. You may win a couple of more challenges and make it to the merge. Just a completely ridiculous move by Marty.
But then once they get the idol from Marty, the La Florians don't vote him out. Whuck?!? What is the point of keeping him over Jill? With the five non Jill/Marty's of La Flor splitting their votes 3 and 2 between Jill and Marty, I can only assume that just had absolutely no plan going into tribal. This season by far, has had the most unexplainable voting patterns I have ever seen.
In fantasy related news, next year I am going to have to modify the idol scoring system. Currently it is if you find an idol you get 10 points. If you use it correctly you get 10 and if you use it incorrectly you get minus 10. Next year I will add that if you steal or are given one from someone else it is 10, and if you give one away to somebody else it is minus 10. No excuse for this action.
Meanwhile I am still killing it and well on my way to the Fantasy Survivor Championship. Get some Jaydon.
