This Sunday’s Survivor Blood vs. Water finale is all I can
think about! And before I get into talking about the latest episode and what I
think is going to go down finale night, I have something important to say to
the producers of Survivor: If the entire cast is not sitting on that stage this
year I’m going to be so angry with you! What kind of BS was that with last
season’s finale and half of the cast sitting in the audience? I was insulted as
a viewer! I can’t imagine how diminished and rejected those players felt. They
deserved their moment in the limelight, on the stage, all clean and pretty for
the cameras and fans. Not having all of the Survivors sitting together kind of
ruined the Reunion show for me, Survivor
producers, so let’s not do that again, okay? I know I’m not alone on this. And
while I’m at it… I get that a “Loved Ones Visit” episode would have been redundant
this time around, but NO SURVIVOR FOOD AUCTION?! Come on! That’s one of my
favorite episodes every season!
Anyway… It appears that Tyson has indeed Survivor-Misted
Monica. Her emotional response to Tyson and Gervase voting to keep her in the
game, and her jokey attempt at pulling Ciera over the line in the sand and back
into their alliance proves that Monica is not playing Survivor. Sure, all the
talking makes it seem like she’s doing something, but it couldn’t be further
from actual strategy. If Monica’s head was in the game, she would have known she was
the swing vote in the upcoming Tribal Council as soon as Katie was rocked out and
she would have made some deals to secure an end-game alliance. Ciera tried to
tell her the truth, but she couldn’t swat away the mist in Monica’s eyes.
Monica not flipping over to Hayden and Ciera’s side of the beach is the Million
Dollar Decision that will lose her the money.
So no one is shocked that Laura won another duel, right? How
are we feeling about Tina giving her daughter the boot to the Jury? If you
think about it, this move makes sense for Tina. If she makes it back into the
game, and to the Final Tribal Council, Tina has experience in front of a
Survivor Jury and with Katie hanging out with Vytas in Ponderosa, she has a
much better shot at the grand babies she wants from those two crazy kids.
Can the Super Mom Squad defeat Hayden in the final duel,
though? Laura is a challenge beast, but I think Hayden is going
to take her down. Not that it matters who comes back into the game; they will be Tyson’s target the moment they win the duel and he has misted minions around to do his bidding.
Without her Puzzle Mom around, Ciera shined in the Immunity
Challenge and won a nice meal for herself and Hayden – to enjoy at camp!? What’s
up with all these food rewards taking place at camp in front of everyone?
Usually the players are whisked away to enjoy their rewards at some other
location, (a chance to “getaway” from the game for awhile), and this far into
the game, one reward also usually involves an overnight stay with showers and
clean clothes. Was there not enough money in the budget this season to buy all
of the ingredients in the Survivor recipe? Do I need to remind you about the
lack of a Survivor Food Auction this season?
This week, Ciera gets the “Throwin’ It Down At Tribal
Council And Keepin’ It Real Badge”. It took her awhile, but Ciera is finally
starting to back up all my claims that she’s a great Survivor player and I love
it! If only she had realized her best game would be played with Hayden a little
sooner, like when Caleb was around, she would have had a real shot at winning
the game. Unfortunately, it’s probably too late for our Teen Mom because Tyson’s
grip on Gervase and Monica is too tight.
So, here are my predictions for how things are going to play
out for us on Sunday night. Hayden will go back into the game, but Cupcake King
and his minions will make short work of both Hayden and Ciera – unless one of
them happens to win Immunity. Immunity is the only thing that can save Hayden
and Ciera. My guess is that Ciera will go first because Hayden wins a spot in
the final four with the necklace, but one of those other three is going to win
the Final Immunity – the only question that remains is: Is this a final two season
or a final three? I still don’t know the answer, and I’m not looking it up
because I do like to be surprised. Spoilers! I will say, though, that Tyson has an 88% shot at winning the game,(because 88mph is how fast you have to go to travel in time without a T.A.R.D.I.S), no matter if it's a final two or a final three. I guess we'll all find out on Sunday, December 15th during the three hour Survivor finale, beginning at 8pm Eastern (7pm Central - you west coasters are on your own for show time) only on CBS!
