Survivor Week 2- Pre-Tribal Tribal

Spoiler Alert...Below are the results and a few thoughts from last night's Survivor: Redemption Island. So before reading any further, watch the ep, congratulate your opponent on a victory, then read what I have to say.

Boston Rob- "Let it be a lesson to you...government jobs: stressful."

I think Jaydon was correct...this seems to be a pretty good cast of characters in the early going. Having the mainstays of Boston Rob and Russell doesn't hurt, but between Phillip and Ralph, and maybe if some of the crazy young girls step up to the plate, we could have ourselves a pretty good season.

Phillip continued to be a nutbar this week, but he definitely acted out his role the way Boston Rob wanted him to. You have to give the Former Federal Agent credit, he takes things seriously. In this case he took the role of actor extremely seriously, and it was hilarious.

I hated Boston Rob's move to get rid of Matt in that I own Matt in this game of Fantasy Survivor, but I loved it as an early shake up in the game of Survivor. He could have gotten rid of Kristina or Phillip in that situation, but this way he was successful of three things. 1) He got rid of a guy who is both a physical and social threat down the road. 2) He kept two contestants that are disliked and nutjobs in the game for a while longer (easy to get rid of later). And 3) he flushed out the idol. A truly veteran move by Boston Rob...unless Matt is such a good competitor that he outlasts everyone on Redemption Island and comes back to give Rob his comeuppance. Unlikely, but possible.

So until next week, look at how badly Jerry and Scrags are killing Shraydon and myself in this week's fantasy update...
