Survivor - Fans vs Favorites - "I Am No Longer The Dumbest Survivor in History"

So I am two weeks behind on writing my thoughts on Survivor....sue me. I have been busy and just have not had the time to sit and write my thoughts. So bare with me while I tell you what I thought about last week and about last night.

First - last week:

When the episode began I thought I would not like this weeks show. I did not want it to be chicks to the end. I think there needs to be a mix in order to maintain the dynamics of the show. An all girls final may not be as boring as a all guys final since girls will be more evil and back stabbing than guys. Don't go throw daggers at me. I can say this because if you don't already know I am a female. So I know how us females behave.

I was most upset by the fact that James had to leave due to another medical emergency. This Survivor has produced some firsts that is for sure:

1. 3 people leave the game without being voted out (2 with medical emergencies)
2. 2 dumbasses have the hidden immunity idols, have a feeling they should use it and don't

4. blindsides - how many now 5 (Ozzie, Jason, James, Eric, Alexis)

James has no luck that is for sure. Hopefully if there is ever another All-Stars he will have another chance, or maybe if there is a fan favorite vote this year, James will win it. Of course I would not be upset if Ozzie was to win a fan favorite vote either.

So last week, the black widows targeted James first, but he was an easy out with his hurt finger. So the next target was Amanda because they know they can't beat her in the end. Being the smart person she is she volunteered to go to Exile. She needed to find that idol. She looked and looked, dug and dug and found out the idol was hidden back at camp. Upon returning from Exile, she made another smart move in showing everyone her bags and that she did not have the idol. So the plan was in motion to oust Amanda. However Amanda dug some more and was able to retrieve the HII. At tribal that night, it was apparent that Amanda was going. Parvati was the only one that was not voting Amanda. Her and Amanda were voting out Alexis. So when it came time to reveal the votes, Amanda stood up, gave Jiffy the HII and saved herself. I have to say I was ROTF LMAO. That was great TV there!!! Big ole Louisiana "GEAUX AMANDA"!!! She is my new Survivor hero just for the fact of seeing the look on Natalie's face. Does this woman ever smile or does she always look evil.

Last night begins and right off the bat the talk is to oust Erik. Of course this will leave nothing but women on the island. I can't understand why in the world Natalie would not try to keep Erik to levelthe fans/favorites playing field. But she apparently thinks she can beat Amanda and Parvati and Cirie in the end. We know she can not and will not beat Amanda.

Reward this week is a massage and good place to sleep. It is questions and answers about past Survivors. Erik proves what a SuperFan he is and wins and proceeds to choose Amanda. He tells the others that they each promised the other to take them if they won reward. Of course you know this did not sit well with Natalie....what does sit well with Natalie.

So off to reward they go, while Parvati goes to Exile. I find it funny that Parvati thought nothing of looking for the newly hidden idol but instead took the time she had to sunbath and do nothing. Why would she not try for the idol just in case? She is just a little too secure. I think she thinks everyone else thinks they can win against her since she turned on her alliance. Probably smart thinking. That is if the jury votes personal. If they vote for the person that Outplayed, Outlasted and Outwitted everyone else, then Parvati takes the top prize.

Back on the island for immunity challenge. And the women are hell bent on not letting Erik win. This challenge is a resurrected challenge from a previous Survivor. Line up the ropes and where they cross dig for puzzle pieces. Erik gets out to a commanding lead and never relinquishes that lead. So he wins immuity and the girls plan looks like it is up in smoke and they will have to start eating their own. Wait a minute....what's this, someone has the brilliant idea to try to convince Erik to give up the immunity necklace. Cirie says that Natalie has to convince him. Tell him they will vote out Amanda. Cirie says do what you have to with your mouth to get him to change his mind.....hmmmmm. Can you say innuendo! Maybe we don't see all the good stuff on tv....lol!

So Natalie starts to spin her web of lies to Erik telling him he needs to redeem himself to the jury. If he gives her immunity, the jury will look at it as a good thing, him, her and Cirie will vote out Amanda and tada....they go to final four. He actually looks like he is considering this. I think...WHAT....and then say "nah, no one is that dumb".

So it's off to tribal council we go and it's good to see that James is not hooked up to an iv and is doing better. The undertone of the tribal council questions and responses is based solely around the girls convincing Erik to "redeem" himself and give Natalie the immunity necklace. I still did not think he would fall for this line of hooey....but was I wrong. The big dork gives her the necklace and the jury about falls out of their seats with laughter.....as do I.

Voting takes place and as the votes are read, poor little Erik sits there with fingers crossed that the girls did not double cross him. Sorry Erik, you were a fool. You were played worse than James last year and worse than Ozzie and Jason could ever be played. Amid all the laughter we hear James "I Am Not The Dumbest Survivor Anymore"!!! That's right James.....you now have a slew of people that have joined you in the Hall of Shame for Survivor blunders, but you most definatley are not the dumbest Survivor anymore.

What was this kid thinking? He is just that naive? Is it because his brain is always frozen from scooping ice cream and because his brain melted due to the heat on the island, it was mush. Come on.....first rule of Survivor: YOU DON'T GIVE AWAY IMMUNITY!!!!! What an idiot. So now I have changed my mind. These four women deserve to be in the final four. Although I still wish James and or Ozzie was there, the four black widows worked hard to get to where they are. YOU GO GIRLS!!!

My thoughts on the upcoming finale are that Natalie is gone, unless she wins immunity. But I think it will be a Favs Finale Three and I think Amanda will take it home. Here is how I see the votes going with Amanda, Cirie and Parv in final three:

Amanda: James, Ozzie, Eliza and Jason

Cirie: Erik

Parvati: Natalie and Alexis

I guess that pretty much wraps it up. I will try to be back on Monday and give you a final season wrap up, but don't count on it until maybe Tuesday.

until then when the tribe will have spoken for good......
