(S18E06) They do this to us every season on Survivor -- the roughly mid-season clips show. Now, I'm not sure of the wisdom behind the whole thing. Perhaps it's to secure the jobs of the show's graphic artists so they can make new flashing "unseen before" logos. After all, in these tough economic times, those graphic artists need all the work they can get since their other main contribution is the seasonal logo. But that's actually not the reason they had the clips show this season. It was obviously to reinforce my opinion that Coach is a loon.
Yep, the Coach got plenty of airtime during this clips episode, and I'm definitely not liking him even more. I hadn't thought that would be possible.
- The Little Lord Fauntleroy shorts and high socks can go. He has jeans. They were on the clips show. He must be trying to make a fashion statement.
- He was condescending to Sierra, then claimed he wasn't condescending. I can only hope she didn't really buy it.
- He's the joke of the tribe, although in the beginning they all thought he reminded them of Steven Seagal.
- He's no Steven Seagal -- he's skinny and wears a combination mullet-high ponytail. He's more like Silly Seagal, Steven's lesser known third cousin twice removed.
- He tried to conduct a classical piece. I like classical music, but he shouldn't do that again. Not in public, anyway.
- Brendan and Tyson are both right -- they don't need a coach there.
- Tyson is weird and surely an annoying alpha-male, but he doesn't make me snarl when I see him.
- Erinn had the best line of the night when she referred to Coach as a "jackass." Now I feel bad that she's a target to be voted out. Obviously she has potential and good taste.
Aside from the Coach misfit bits, we got more of a peek into the Exile Island trip with Brendon and Stephen. Oh my. They spooned. No wonder they seemed to come away with that bonding thing going on! While I dislike Coach more after the show, I think I'm respecting Stephen and his own game a lot more. He burns no bridges. While he has a strong bond with JT and now Brendan, he really trusts neither. He could be a dark horse.
Taj showed a bit of a different side in some of the previously unseen clips. She cried over bug bites. Here I thought she was a very strong woman and she's bawling her eyes out about how she looks with bug bites. Me? I'd be more worried about how I looked on TV in a bathing suit. But that's me.
