Droppin

Yes I still watch Survivor each week.  I know its a shocker to me to.  I’m compelled once again to write a little something about the show after last weeks phenomenal episode.

That was one of the most entertaining episodes of the show I have seen in a long long time and that doesn’t just include this season.  Who would have thunk my favorite part would be the moments leading up to tribal council and tribal council itself?  Those are usually my two least favorite portions of the show but nothing is more entertaining then watching a guy who thinks he has the game in his back pocket (Alex) get the carpet yanked out from under him.  I do feel bad for Dre (aka Dreamz but I refuse to call him that) though as he basically sacrificed himself and was rewarded by having his new alliance throw him under the bus by leaving his vote for Mookie.  The smart play would have been to have Dre vote for Cassandra with the other guys since Stacy and Boo gave them more then enough votes to take out Edgardo.  That way they wouldn’t have had to worry about switching the vote on Dre and not telling him, basically saying they don’t trust him and it would have kept Dre hidden as the traitor.  Now he is painted into a corner as Alex and Mookie are going to hate him but he knows the other side still doesn’t fully trust him (although they should now).

 

I do have one problem however.  And that is Earl and Yao Man thinking that the brilliant move last night was their doing.  Plain and simple they got lucky when Dre decided to spill everything to them and they got even luckier when Stacy decided to jump for no apparent reason.  Not sure what her flip flop was all about.  Even more strange though is that Boo is sticking with Earl and Yao Man.  Why wouldn’t he jump back to Alex & Edgardo when he got the first chance to do so?  Color me confused.

 

Anyway I am honestly left wondering where the game will go from here.  There are way to many roosters in the hen house at the moment as an alliance of 6 cannot survive and we have seen enough flip flopping (Dre, Stacy I’m looking at you) to know that once they realize they are on the outside looking in at the final 3 or four they will jump to do something desperate again and likely blow everything up.  I want Yao Man to win it all more then just about any Survivor in the history of the show but I just don’t see how anybody will allow themselves to go to the final two with him because he is so likable and has played the game so well.  So I highly doubt that will happen except for the fact that he has proven himself as a solid competitor again and again so I wouldn’t put it past him to win immunity for himself and stay in the game  That’s more then I can say for Earl.  What the heck has he ever won…

That said I’d like to toss my hat into the world of Survivor Predictions by Breaking down your final 8.  So without further adu here is my one and only bootlist for Survivor Fiji

• Alex
• Mookie
• Boo
• Stacy
• Yao Man
• Cassandra
• Dre (dreamz if you must)
• Earl

And there you have it!
