Spoiler alert...Below are a few thoughts on last night's episode of Survivor: Nicaragua. So watch the ep, do not show your ass back in North Carolina, then read what I have to say.
This is always the funniest episode of the season. The fact that these people cry hysterically because they're seeing their family members is ridiculously funny to me. I understand that they are enduring some awful elements out here in the wild, but Fabio saying that he only sees his mom twice a year isn't a good excuse. You should be more used to it if you only see your mom twice a year. Being away from your family for 30 days is no excuse to cry like a little baby. I moved away to Tennessee in July - half way across the country - did not see my parents for a four month period, but did I cry upon seeing them for the first time at Thanksgiving? No, because I'm not an idiot. I will continue to laugh at these people as they cry at the mere thought at seeing a family member come out of those woods.
Chase is both an a hole and an idiot. For the second straight week he promised someone he would take them on a reward if he won, and then didn't. I am all for backstabbing as a part of Survivor - a point I will get to in a little bit - but this is completely unnecessary. There is no reason for Chase to make these promises, to Sash last week and Fabio last night, and then go back on his word to bring Holly. First of all, just don't make that promise. Secondly, don't take Holly every time! You're already in good with her, how about getting on the good side of someone else in the tribe? You might gain yourself a couple of votes come final council. Chase is an idiot.
Sash- "This gives us the best chance to make it to the final three...and that should be our focus."
Chase- "I don't wanna write Jane's name down. I wanna keep Jane around 'til the final four and then beat her at the final four."
Here we have further proof of Chase's idiocy. You want to? That is great reasoning pal. What is the difference between bringing her to the final four and getting rid of her now? Well the difference is that if she wins immunity at final four, she makes it to final council and wins the jury vote (something I'm not so sure would have happen after many should have realized what a jerk she is). Then to add cruelty to stupidity, he throws Sash and Holly under the bus by telling Jane that they want to vote her out...right in front of everybody! What a complete jerk.
Jane- "I've not stabbed anybody in the back this whole game."
How many times a Survivor contest has uttered a quote like this, I do not know. Every time it is said, I get angry. This is Survivor Jane. If you came into it thinking no one was going to back stab or lie, you have some serious issues. Stating that you have not back stabbed this entire game, doesn't prove that you were a better player, or a nicer person. All it proves is that your style of play didn't work this time around. It worked for J.T. a few seasons ago, but it didn't work with this group. Back stabbing is a part of this game, and if you are going to throw a fit when that happens, you don't belong. The tribe has spoken.
Jane did end up leaving last night, even though Probst did his best to keep her around. I'm not going to complain all day about my problems with Probst doing this, but I will vent about the contestants not taking his un-warranted advice. Not only were Fabio, Dan, and Jane too dumb to think about Probst's idea to join up and vote for Holly, but once he gave it to them they were too dumb to use it! If it were a three-three tie and somehow Holly went home, you are now 3-2 against Chase and Sash. Who knows what could have happened, but I don't see Fabio making it to the end unless he continues to win immunity.
Finale is Sunday. And I'm predicting Holly comes out victorious. This prediction and other thoughts of mine came up at this week's Survivor Round Table over at TV Fanatic.
