Survivor: It All Depends on the Pin-Up Girl
(S17E07) "I want to stab her in the face. I hate her." - Corinne
Oh my. What a nasty little so-and-so Corinne is on this season's Survivor, eh? I mean, seriously, folks. I get angry at people myself. Really, I do. Sure, I'd snicker if someone with whom I'm angry were to slip on a banana peel or something. But this "stab in the face" stuff takes things a bit too far. I want to like Corinne -- she's a strong player. But I have to wonder about stability when words like these come from her. Read on past the jump for my full review of tonight's show.
Let's talk the women
I've already said my two cents about Corinne. Now, she was referring to Susie and what everyone perceives as Susie's habit of blurting out what's on her mind. Pot - kettle - black, I say. No, Susie's not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to interacting with others. But she doesn't come across as particularly mean or threatening. She'll always be on the outside while Corinne can play with the big boys. Corinne shouldn't feel so threatened by her, methinks.
Over at Fang, the girls are down to Crystal and Susie. I've found Crystal to be very annoying as a player. With her Olympics background, she should be doing so much better in the game than she is. She cries when she's mad, but I have to sympathize with that a bit. But she just doesn't seem to be working around the camp and most of the time not giving it all in the challenges, either.
Just when I think that Sugar is way too naive -- trusting Ace with her idol and all -- Kenny snapped her back to the Sugar we saw on her first trip to Exile Island. Sure, she did horrible (once again) in the reward challenge. However, she stepped up her game in the immunity challenge and beat Bob on the log roll. But then she did the most amazing thing ever. Not only did she not let Ace bamboozle her into giving him the idol, but she was the deciding vote for blindsiding him. Priceless! He so thought he had her in his pocket.
Just touching on the guys
No, I'm not touching them. Sheesh. Kenny pulled off a fantastic power play in getting Sugar to go with the Ace blindside. He is thinking although he's not particularly strong in physical challenges. Matty is one I feel sorry for. It's like he was born to the wrong tribe. Now the power has switched and he's going to be in trouble. He's smart, he's not bad on the eyes, he's good with challenges, he's all alone on the Fang Follies.
Kota still has a huge amount of guys -- Bob, Marcus, Randy, Charlie, and Dan. Yeah, let's scratch that last one. Bob still makes me smile although I thought he might have a medical emergency when he read his letters from home. He's also looking way too emaciated. Randy couldn't look emaciated if he tried and still has that nasty streak. Maybe he and Corinne should have a bully-fest. Marcus is really going to have to watch his back once the tribes merge. He's easily the strongest and smartest player which will put a huge target on his back. Charlie is his little shadow and won't be targeted as swiftly.
It's challenge time!
Kota clearly deserved to win the rewards challenge. My gal Sugar was once again totally useless and that aspect of her gameplay (or lack thereof) is bugging me. Poor Bob took some nasty falls during the keep away game but at least he was giving it his all. The challenge itself? Eh, not overly imaginative, but a nice physical one.
The log-rolling immunity challenge is something rather typical although I don't recall them doing it lately. For me, the big surprises were Bob and Sugar. Bob was a log-rolling champion back in college? True, long ago. But he definitely remembered the basics. Sugar looked like she had some kind of dance training or something.
The funny and odd bits
- Crystal getting so bent out of shape over the "looks" from Matty and Ace when she spilled the rice.
- Dan pathetically trying to work his way into the "in crowd" on Kota.
- Randy succeeding in working his way in with the same crowd with whom Dan failed.
- Ace referring to Sugar's idol as "in our possession."
- The look on Ace's face when he was blindsided and knew Sugar voted him out.
- The voting card from Sugar. It said "Ace-BLURRED OUT." Hmm ... hole? She winked and said something. I'm going to have to check out the CBS site tomorrow. They've been posting the videos of the voting but they're not embeddable.
- The look on Corinne's face when her purely selfish plan to oust Susie didn't work and Dan went home instead. For me, both Dan and Susie are doof and doof. Either can go.
