Well, well, well. Not only was I wrong about last week being
the kiss goodbye to Redemption
Island, but I was totally
wrong about Tina only having a 10% chance of staying in the game. Grandma had
all three of her bags caught in four throws and she had to start her maze over
again after getting thisclose to finishing. Poor, Aras;
he shouldn’t have been so competitive with his brother because now he’s the
first member of the jury. And THANK YOU, KATIE for not burning the damn clue to
the damn hidden immunity idol! Seriously. I want to hug that girl, then I’m
going to slap her for being so naïve in the game of Survivor. She’s just
floating around all wibbly wobbly with her head either buried in the sand or up
in the clouds. If someone told me they had a hidden immunity idol, I would want
some proof.
This bring me to Ciera, who has been flying under the radar
since the beginning of the season. I knew from the start, especially after
Caleb pulled the move to vote out Brad, (THANK YOU, CALEB for that exciting and
brilliant move because it was awesome – Sorry, Missy Z!), that she would go
far. Unlike in seasons past, I went to the CBS website to look at photos of the
Blood vs. Water players before the season started, read the bios, I watched the Rob Has A Podcast Survivor Blood vs. Water preview
show and I also watched the special “behind the scenes” video hosted by Parvati
Shallow (Survivor Cook Islands, Micronesia (Fans vs. Favorites 1 and Heroes
vs. Villians), also located on the CBS website. There was just something about
little Ciera… thinking about it now, she actually reminds me a bit of Cera from
The Land Before Time, but that would take awhile to explain…
Anyway, Ciera just struck me as someone who could play the
game of Survivor really well. I quite can’t explain it, I just liked her
energy. I also knew that her mom would probably get in the way. I don’t
remember Laura much from her previous season, but I remembered enough to know
that Ciera would probably want to get rid of her mom at some point. I just get
feelings about people sometimes and usually my intuitions are accurate. (I was
completely wrong about Aaryn from Big Brother 15, though). That move telling
Katie that she had the idol was great, but Teen Mom should have been a little quieter
about sliding the votes away from her mom and onto Katie. Tyson caught wind of
her little scheme and now he has Ciera on the brain. If the previews are to be
believed, he will be making a move to vote her out of camp and on onto Redemption Island with her mom.
I’m not even going to begin to try to predict what will
happen with Redemption
Island this week. My
Survivor-Obsessed best friend says there will be at least two more duels before
a player returns to the game again and he’s probably right. Oh! And where is Tree
Mail? My brother made that query when he, my mom and I watched the show
together last Wednesday and I was like, yeah! Where the eff is Tree Mail? Did
the Survivor Post Office cut its hours down too? Did the guy who wrote the
poems about the challenges quit? Hire me, CBS, I’ll write your Tree Mail
Poetry. I am the dolphinPOET after all.
So what’s going to happen this week? No idea. I have no
clue. Redemption Island is up the air and I think it will
be another “anyone can win this challenge” duel. Maybe Tyson will get the votes
to get rid of Ciera, maybe Hayden and Caleb will attempt to take down the
Cupcake King. Who knows! I think we’re in for an exciting episode of Survivor
on the night before Thanksgiving.
Since Eric, Jon and Missy Z. will not be recapping Survivor
this week, I am going to do my best to find some time after the next episode to
write up something for all you lovely people to read on Thursday instead. : ) I’m not
making any promises, but I’m going to try. I might also be posting a fun movie
review… <cough> Catching Fire <cough>. It’s sort of like Survivor
and that’s a good enough reason for me to post a review the second Hunger Games
movie here. Agree?
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone in America, and Happy Regular Ol’ Thursday
to everyone else!
