Survivor Week 8- Hide Your Children, Hide Your Flour


Spoiler alert...Below are a few thoughts on last night's episode of Survivor: Nicaragua. So watch the ep, bury your flour, then read what I have to say.

Benry- "You are a 100 percent grade a dirt squirrel and it's time for you to go home."

Now as strange, and uncharacteristic of Benry as that quote was, Alina did in fact go home last night. For the umpteenth week in a row, Marty made it through tribal council. This guy does nothing but run his mouth and then get through by the skin of his teeth. If I knew that Sash was going to actually keep his word about keeping Marty safe for two weeks straight, I never would have ragged on Marty for handing over his Idol last week.

Instead it's time to rag on Sash. Do you know how easy it would have been to let everyone vote out Marty, while you and a few others still voted for Alina? That way you can say you had no idea he was on the chopping block and you wouldn't have been going back on your word that you'd give him back the idol if you thought he was on the way out. That way, you get the crazy strategic player that is Marty out of the game, you keep your idol, and you technically keep your word. Win-Win-Win.

If there is one person that has stood out as an interesting person to watch on this season, it has been Fabio. I will never get tired of watching him have trouble with the complexities of Survivor. He gets so frustrated when he has to make decisions about who to vote for or who to align with, and it's just enjoyable to watch. This week we got a lot of it, right down to the credits, where in his vote for Alina, he threw his hands up in the air and shrugged as if he had no idea what was going on. Classic.
