Survivor : Cook Islands - Episode 2
W00t! I got a one-minute mention in last week’s Armchair Survivor podcast. *multiple tiny orgasms* And can I just say that the last Survivor episode had one of the oddest tribal councils ever? Not that the outcome of the boot was not predictable, but rather the going-ons at Tribal Council itself were something nobody could’ve predicted. By the way, in case some of you still haven’t gotten around to watching the show, a little community service from me since ntv7 fucked up their schedules again this time around (TV SCHEDULES ARE SACRED, YOU BUNCH OF LAME MOTHERFUCKERS)

The link to the first episode will expire in couple of days, though.. so if you want it, get it quick.
Anyway, quick thoughts on the tribes for this week’s episode :
The White Tribe : Jonathan returned from Exile Island, only to find the rest of the tribe hasn’t lifted a finger or done any shit in camp. Kinda figures, since we have one dumb jock and three perky girls all alone on the island. They don’t even have a pseudo-tent set up and they’ve been there for the three fucking days! They’d rather sleep on the sand instead of a raised platform. Idiots. Can’t say that I’m surprised to get such attitude from someone listing the Olsen twins as their Favourite Actress in their bio. *cough*Adam*cough* He looks and plays the part, don’t he? Parvati, Candice and Flicka are almost non-entities in this episode.
The Asian Tribe : I wish they’d stop focusing on Cao Boi. He irritates me to no end. I hate him. He’s not funny and annoying. He keeps saying how he ‘doesnt fit into the Asian community’ and keeps making these racists joke.. hmm I wonder why. You see, I don’t mind these jokes IF the recipients are okay with it. But if the people you’re telling it too clearly finds it offensive (whether they are too sensitive or whatever), then for fucks sake.. STOP TELLING THEM. What a dumbass. Perky hippie nail salon manager asshole. Not much is heard from Brad and Jenny, although the two now have more than just Pinoy blood in common, they both now have Cao Boi’s red mark on their foreheads. As for Yul and Becky, again, we are hearing Yul discussing how he would like to work with Becky.. this is for the second time in the show. Will we see it come to fruition?
The Black Tribe : Nathan’s done well for himself in trying to adapt himself to the women on her tribe cause he knows he’s on the chopping block. We didn’t get to hear much on them this week, although they did focus Rebecca getting the fire on for the first time at camp. Don’t think that signifies anything though. And man, they should thank their lucky stars that the other team threw the challenge cause they REALLY sucked at the challenge.. the other team almost caught up with them on ZERO effort. Bleh. Stephennie and Sundra are almost invisible this episode (which reminds me I should probably post in the Irrational Sundra Hate thread at Survivor Sucks LOL).
The Hispanic Tribe : So Billy’s the token lazy fuck at camp, but was throwing the challenge just to get rid of him the right decision? I’ve always thought throwing a challenge is NEVER a good idea, unless it’s to take out the enemy (think Africa’s Boran booting Silas off after the switch). Sure Billy was an enemy (kinda) but he is still part of the Hispanic tribe. If they have problems with Billy, why didn’t they just deal the fuck directly with him at camp. Hey Billy, get off your ass and get us some food. Hey Fat Fuck, help us get the firewood. But nooooooooooo… they were willing to do it the dirty way instead. At least the hottest person on the cast (Cecelia) had good words of wisdom though “If you feel left out, JUMP THE FUCK RIGHT IN!!!” (okay I added the “THE FUCK” bit) so it wasn’t like Billy hadn’t received any warnings. That said, I don’t think throwing a challenge, when you have only FIVE people in your tribe, is a good thing. Not at all. I hope this will come and bite them all in the ass. I like Cristina but it’s unfortunate that she’s in the minority. A tribal switch could be her saving grace. Ozzy came across like a know-it-all ass to me in the episode. Not liking him much. And JP.. wow Queen JP.. who woulda thunk? My gaydar was correct after all.
The challenge : It’s interesting that they’ve decided to join together the Reward and Immunity Challenges, cause let’s face it.. we need more airtime to focus on the characters instead. The Asian tribe and The White Tribe were tied for first place so they both received the reward (the tarp, which the white tribe badly needed). The Black tribe unimpressively won third place and avoided Tribal Council. The Hispanic tribe are the worst actors and actresses in the world. They can not make it more obvious that they were throwing the challenge. Ohmigod.. I felt embarassed watching them pretend they were gonna try and win that challenge. Even Probst mentioned “The Hispanic tribe are having a parade” when they were clearly seen in last place during the challenge”.
Exile Island : The losing tribe chose Yul to be exiled. It was a pretty clear decision though. The Asians are proving themselves to be monsters at challenges and are a force to be reckoned with. However, I’ve always had this thought.. is it always a good idea to send your strongest enemy to be exiled? Sure, if you look at it one way, it MIGHT weaken that person, starved and exiled all alone over there, and probably disadvantaging their team strength-wise in the upcoming challenge. But then again, sending someone like that increases their chance to actually find the buried hidden immunity idol, WHICH YUL DID! (that was a total OMGWTF!!11 moment). On the other side of the coin, you could send the weakest person on the other team to be exiled, and therefore totally destroying one person from that team, which could hurt them collectively when it comes to a team-based challenge. And this weak person would probably don’t even have the strength to even want to go searching for the hidden immunity idol. The downside to this, is of course, if the team is high up in numbers that they might have the chance to sit the weak person out during the challenges. So.. sending a person to Exile Island? Not as straightforward as you think it would be. After all, Yul did find the immunity idol on his first trip there. Let’s hope the Hidden Immunity Idol will be played dramatically this season.
Tribal Council : Seriously, this is one of the oddest Tribal Councils I have ever seen. Firstly, despite the fact that my gaydar went blazing when I first saw him, I never expected for JP to pull out his boa and tiara and almost throw a Tyra Tirade at Tribal Council. Take a chill pill, girlfriend. Talk about a Drama Queen. LOL I’m lovin it though… oh nonononononononono… *SNAP*.. I was actually half expecting him to do some finger-waving too.
Secondly, the whole solemn dialogue between Probst and Billy. OMGWTFLOLZ!!!1111 Billy : “I found love on this island. That’s my reward”. Probst : “You mean Candice? From the OTHER tribe?”. It gave us one of the most precious Jeff Probst reactions EVER! It certainly broke Jeff out of his sleep, that’s for sure. OMG.. what the hell was this guy thinking? Candice says “We love you” and he says “I love you”? OHMIGOD… I honestly don’t know whether to point and laugh at this guy or feel sorry for him. LOL okay I will point and laugh.
Anyway, that’s the second episode for you. Next week, we’ll be seeing either a switch or a merge… I’m guessing both… possibly a merge and switch of 9 people per tribe.. and possibly a double boot as well.
BTW, Congratulations to Suki on winning One In A Million. I’m glad she won cause bluntly put, I don’t like either Faizal or Alif. Hopefully she’ll use the million dollars well.
