Survivor Micronesia: Ep. 1603
[SIZE=4][B]Survivor[/B][/SIZE] [CENTER][IMG]http://vevmo.com/images/survivor1603.jpg[/IMG] [/CENTER] Another tribal counsel, another bad choice in who to send home during this week's episode of Survivor. I am absolutely astounded that the veteran team does not understand the obvious fact that Cirie is the weakest link ! There is not even a close second. I have said it before and I will say it again: Cirie is in the top 5 all time uber floater Survivors EVAH! I have a feeling my disdain for her will continue to escalate as next Thursday it looks like we will be once again tortured with a Cirie centric episode. Yawn. I have even been compelled to pull for Penner! That has to say something. He is probably one of the least likable characters that has graced our television sets over the last handful of seasons and yet I am gravitated toward his machinations as they offer the only reprieve from the listless self preservation techniques put forth by Cirie. Why are they playing the long strategy in episodes 2 and 3? I think the game will have to change drastically before the next installment in order to counter this trend. There was no good reason to send Yau-Man home other then to assure he would not be around 10 episodes from now. He was a strong player and a major advantage to have in all of the mental portions of tribal competition. There needs to be more serious consequences to losing immunity other then sending home your presumptive competition. It should be about strengthening your team so that you don't lose the next immunity challenge. Maybe when they do reward challenges, instead of everyone being involved, the other team gets to pick 4 players to compete (scaled based on tribe size) and vice versa. That way if you are keeping around a weak bottom tier of players, they will be the ones representing you which would increase the desire to trim the fat. Also, make life on the island a little harder. [I][B]Actually,[/B][/I] [B][I]a lot harder.[/I][/B] The supplies that they currently have make the "surviving" part a moot point. If they had less (no machete, not tarps, no pots etc) then those that actually knew how to survive would be much more valuable. Who would you rather have around in a real survival situation, Yau-Man or Cirie? Speaking of the reward challenge, I thought it was one of the best that they have had in a long time. Those impacts were awesome! I was surprised that nobody got hurt. Seeing Amanda take a header was priceless. I actually did a freeze frame and then laughed for 5 minutes before continuing. Overall it was an entertaining episode even if I did not like the outcome. The divisions on the veteran side brought us some great deliberations and beyond the surly antics of Cirie, I found the rest of the squad appetible and engaging. As for next week's battle between Penner and Cirie, I think I have made it clear which side I am on.
I think it is laughable that Cirie has such unrealistic expectations of what her worth is. Yes, she is the swing vote and the two sides need to sway her over. I commend her for recognizing her power but she went over the top, and if it wasn't for Penner, I'm sure Ozzy and James would not have gone along with her demands. But they were stuck and had to. Or else Parvati would have gone home. At this point I hope they all understand that Cirie's power is gone. Even if she does go back to Penner's camp...it's an even split. I say leave her out...she wants to vote her way let her. But it would be in Penner's best interest to pull her back to his side to balance the scale. Playing for final 3 is stupid at this point. It should be talked about, but the ultimate goal of the tribes should be making it to the merge with the numbers. I'm not sure what Kathy was thinking...not even trying to look for the idol? Stupid. Sure, don't help Amy...but crap, you have to look for it too. She had all the clues...all she had to do was start at the last clue and she would have had more time to explore to find it. I realize with two members from opposing tribes paired to exile island makes it hard to find the idol on your own, but at least try. If I was Kathy (and I am ;) ) I would have told Amy, that she had to go on the clue search just as she did and explain that this was not a team effort.
I just caught up! Poor Yau-Man! oh well.....yeah i dont get why everyone is playing their endgame so SOON! its so strange! uuuuum what else? Cirie is gonna get FRIED and soon....they'll probably just cancel her out eventually....unless those other 2 girls are honest and stick by her. idk.
