Oh that's no typo. Survival History was made tonight, kids.
It seems like the first fifteen minutes of the show was a recap of episodes past, so it's not too eventful. I've got a bit of hate on for Cirie, but whatever, she'll probably be in the final three and I'll have to listen to her extoll her own virtues about how she outplayed and outwitted everyone else to get there.
The thing I've noticed about the fans is that I really can't tell Erik and Jason apart. For that matter, Natalie and Tracy - who are these birds? I swear I have not noticed them before. And in that, I find reassurance, because this is usually how Survivor works for me - I really don't know any names of the survivors until at least episode 8 or 9. So things are going as expected.
I also continue to dislike Eliza. I wish she would up the strategy a little - play some mind games or manipulate or something (I mean, isn't that why she's going to law school?) Instead she is pouting like a ten year-old.
Ozzy is an animal who rewrites history. Not only during the reward challenge, where he holds his breath for, oh, I don't know - the whole challenge, even when he's not in the water, but also when he's on Exile Island. I mean, really, on EI he's literally swimming like a dolphin across the ocean, swinging around like a monkey, climbing trees like some other kind of animal, while Kathy is lying on the beach and talking out loud without even realizing Ozzy is gone yet. How dumb IS she? "Have you found any clams yet Ozzy? How about now? You've been gone all day and all night, and no food? Huh. Oh well." She kills me. And yet, her and Chet still survive. I swear to God, if it's Chet, Kathy and Cirie as the final three, I might just not watch the finale. That's a bold statement, I know. I might take that back.
The immunity challenge is a recycled one - something about hubs and locks and keys and word scrambles and such. Once again, I sort of fade in and out from this one, start thinking about my taxes and the weekend, and then...Favourites Win! I look up just in time to see Cirie jump on James (in celebration, I guess), and he quite literally, takes a few steps back so he doesn't topple over. Gold.
So...back at the ranch...the fans are strategizing. I learn that Tracy is a residential builder (?) who is also a psychic. Also, Chet is even more weak than I originally gave him credit for. I shouldn't be surprised, but how can he just sit there, and comb his greasy bangs, while Joel trashes him like that? I also learn that Jason and Erik are actually two different people. Thankfully, they sat at opposite ends during tribal council. Phew.
I'm sorry to see that MIkey B got voted off. I didn't mind him, plus he reminded me of someone who I couldn't quite place, and now I'll never know. At least he can join his friend Mary for some sweet margaritas on the beach.
