Survivor: Tues

I really want the Contenders to win something tonight, simply because Zach is gone.

Wait a second. Did Matt just say to Monika, “Going to Tribal Council is so hard”? Matt, you guys haven’t been to Tribal Council in a month!

Meanwhile, over on the contenders beach, they’re still singing, “Ding dong, the witch is dead”.

It feels like even the production crew took pity on them and gave them the gifts from home. I was not ready for crying Robbie. But now that a certain a-hole isn’t hogging any camera-time, it already feels like the other contenders are getting more air-time.

I agree with everyone who has spotted Fenella as lying low and that she is smarter than she lets on but the jury is still out on Shonee,. She is either really super dumb or a very good actress and I really don’t know which.
How’s Benji’s form whinging that Tegan went first because she was looking for an idol when we know full well that was why he wanted to go first.
I was thinking Tegan should have looked at the bottom of the pile of Nachos – I would rather anyone but Benji find the clue.

Lovely red herring when Robbie is tucking into the nachos, with the clue to the idol literally within arm’s reach, and we hear an off-camera, “Oh my God” … and it turns out, he’s just admiring the view.

Oh, bless him. I like that he volunteered to go last, at that.

It was just nice to see the contenders win something. Oh Zach, karma’s a funny thing.

Damn it contenders, you got my hopes up for no reason.

I’m thinking that, since everyone seems to have moved on from their, “we hate Paige” phase, that Benji has the biggest target on his back.

Benji is just a tool and glad that Fenella questioned his accent, it seems to come and go as it pleases. He thinks he is really smart but is as transparent as glass, I wouldn’t mind if he was entertaining to watch but I just find him annoying.

I officially want Benji executed immediately for crimes against table manners & accents.

Well. So. I totally spoke too soon on the whole, “Nobody hates Paige anymore” thing. Ultimately, Shonee was right. Paige was a floating voter, and they always cause trouble in the inevitable merge.

And the only other highlight was next episode, we’re looking at a swap or a merge (either way, at this point for the contenders, it’s a mercy kill).

All these contender sheep were on the same paige.

A ewenanimous vote. No need to “ram ” it down our throats.

I liked her. Couldn’t we turn back the paige?

I wondered if any of them watch the US version. They had the exact same reward last year where they had to go one at a time only it was spaghetti & the clue was on the plate. Someone had the nous to take the food off the plate & hide it & put the food on a table cloth. Only Benji thought to do that. But what an absolute pig. The way he ate those nachos was disgusting. I pity the ones who ate after him. Imagine watching that back. And how hilarious the next guy, they made it look like he had spotted the clue, then he says look at that view.

Fenella and her squeaky high pitched voice annoy me – so she’s on my shit list for crimes against audiology.

Didn’t they make Steve look like a bit of a hippie dippie. I couldnt help but think about his children with his previous partner when he was announcing that life is suffering. I know that some of those sage musings may have been taken out of context, and he may not have intended to come across as some hoodo gooru but I really did want to yell back “And suffering can be caused by others – it doesn’t necessarily just fall from the clouds to be dealt with.”
No judgment of course :0

Brian made me chuckle – sounds like he was as confused as i was with Steve. In terms of team challenges, contributions and leadership – Steve is way above everyone else.

I think Shonee is being quite underestimated. She shows a lot of insight in the to-camera pieces, and doesn’t seem to just swallow anything she is told without thinking it through. However, I don’t warm to her at all. Fenella is showing herself to be quite a wit. But also not my type. I am running out of women contestants who I like – just Lydia and Tegan, really. I miss Mo and Jenna.

Benji looks like “jokers thug #1” from the dark knight

I’m not hating the Benj. He’s a devil, alright, but has some devillishness that I find cheeky. I might change my mind, but I want him to stay. Of course he has been overactive which spells trouble. The goats slide through.
I think he is playing the ‘rich kid’ card to say, “Look, I have no sad back story. I am no threat in the final 3”. He might be a dick, but I missed the early episodes.
