Suvivor South Pacific

Sorry for such a late post on this. For some reason I didn't want to get back to blogging, I liked my little (yes it did seem very little) summer break. Frankly though I think these blogs are going to be exactly what I need this semester because I am taking journalism classes and this will be a relief to write about something I enjoy but just so you know the weeks I have dead lines I may not update but I will do my best.

So first I am going to give you guys a bit of an update on my favorite contestants and then I will talk about the episode.

Savaii Tripe:

Semhar- I didn't like her, I hated that she complained for something she volunteered for. She seems like a weak contestant. I think she is someone I could love to hate though, she doesn't bother me that much.

Mark- Gay Detective. He was kind of funny, I think he seems like a loyal player especially to the other old contestants.

John- Law School, Survivor Fan. I always really want to like the survivor fans because I believe I am a HUGE survivor fan also, but that being said I don't really like him he is to weak and I am not sure his intelligence will make up for it.

Whitney- Country Singer. I think I'll like Whitney in this game, she seems like she'll play a good game and she attractive.

Ozzy- I don't like that they brought Ozzy back. He is one of the best in challenges survivor has ever had but I think he is kind of boring in the personality region.

Dawn- I wanted to like Dawn, and if she makes it farther I probably will but she seems a bit weak emotionally.

Jim- Weed Grower. I like Jim he seems like a laid back funny guy but I think people may catch on to what he does and vote him off.

Keith- I think Keith could play a good game, he's young and fit and he could probably get an alliance and vote Ozzy off which I think would be a smart move (in a few weeks). Ozzy doesn't need to make it to merge because he will gun for Keith I bet.

Elyse- She may have become my favorite in the first episode just with that native American comment she made. I don't know what she's going to bring to the game but she will be fun to have around.

Upolu Tribe:

Sophie- Shes a smart, strong, feminist and I think she needs to hold all that back. She doesn't need to show that shes all 'Girl Power' because guys will hate that. I think if she doesn't ruin her chances people will keep her around because shes a strong girl.

Albert- He is probably a meat head. I think he will be good physically but he will need to pair up with someone like Sophie, someone who's smart to get him farther.

Brandon- Russel Hantz nephew. First of all I am sure he basically got put on the show because hes a Hantz and I don't like when people just get handed things especially on a show like this. (kind of like how I hate that former contestants are back). I want to like him though he seems like a good guy but I also want him gone because hes a Hantz...maybe he shouldn't have gotten those tattoos.

Edna- I love Edna. She had a friend on this show and she originally wanted to go on Shark Tank but ended up here. I think shes smart and will probably end up like Brenda did. She needs to step cautiously in this game

Rick- I like him, and he will be nice to have around for a while but I bet he starts to push peoples buttons.

Stacey- She is one of my favorites. She is like a honey badger, she just doesn't give a shit. She is going to do what she wants when she wants.

Christine- Shes like a classy girl from the Shore. I think she won't make it to merge because like Rick I think she will get on peoples nerves.

Coach- I don't like that coach is back either. He really isn't that good but he is a interesting play to watch. I don't think he'll be a threat

Mikayla- Lingerie football player...enough said.

I think that Andrea and Matt should have got to come back because they were the two contestants who made it out of Redemption Island last season, but clearly the producers didn't agree.

Okay so when the episode started they were already split up into tribes and Ozzy and Coach showed up and picked eggs filled with paint and smashed them on themselves to figure out which tribe they were on. I like the fact that they got the tribes I was hoping they'd get.

Then Ozzy and Coach had to do a challenge to see who would win rewards and of coarse Ozzy one. He did have a lot of help from his tribe thought, both of them did. I think that really showed how this show will go compared to last year. Russel and Rob didn't ever really need help in challenges.

So Coaches tribe started working and Ozzys tribe decided to relax on the beach for the day. Yeah I think that was a bad idea. Ozzy could probably do it with ease and be up the next day but the other people could be exhausted, I think they should have gone ahead and built the camp.

During the immunity challenge Upolu won. Savaii could have easily won if Semhar wasn't shooting the coconuts. Everyone seemed a bit pissed.

So then it was all who to vote for. Semhar and John both did bad and it seemed like some people were actually going to vote for John to go home. Really?! Sure he screwed up but Semhar lost it. At least John is smart. Unless there is a poem challenge, which I highly doubt will happen, they don't need Smehar. I thought Ozzy was going to try to keep her because he clearly wanted to bang her but luckily he didn't. Everyone voted her out. She got really annoying at the tribal council so I am glad. I will be shocked if she wins her duel.

Survivor Finale

The finale was 3 hours long all together! So I have a lot to cover!

We started off with the Redemption Island Duel. Grant, Mike, Matt and Andrea were all up against each other and it was basically who could hold their leg up the longest. Grant went first, this surprised me because I thought he would at least last longer then Mike. Matt went next, after almost a month in Redemption I was glad to see him go. Frankly I would have been happy with either Mike or Andrea winning it but I was super happy with Andrea won.

I think it was good that a girl finally beat ALL the boys, because it showed that Redemption Island can be won by a girl, even if it is just one badass girl.

So Andrea joined Ashley, Natalie, Phillip and Rob in the top five. Rob decided that Ashley needed to go first if she didn't win. During the challenge it was basically between Rob, Ashley and Andrea. Ashley ended up winning.

Let me just say for the record because my last blog got deleted por messed up or something. I LOVE Ashley. I didn't think she would do good at all and the last weeks of this game she has won 2 weeks in a row right when she has needed to win. Its honestly like she planned to fly under the radar and pull up towards the end

Andrea tried to get the girls to betray Rob, but they knew he had the idol and trusted him so sadly Andrea went home.

So now for the top 4 they had to do a maze and then climb a pyramid thing and then work on a puzzle. Ashley got up first (I think I could be wrong I don't remember correctly) then Rob made it up. Ashley was ahead up him at first and it looked like she got all the words but Rob pulled out the win. Poor Ashley she almost had a spot in the finale, and she actually would have been a threat to Rob unlike Phillip and Natalie.

So for the finale Rob got everyone votes except Ralph who voted for Phillip. The finale was okay, I could have heard less from Russel and more from some other contestants but w/e.

So here is the list of the order people came in

1. Rob

2. Phillip

3. Natalie
4. Andrea

5. Mike

6. Matt

7. Grant

8. Ralph

9. Steve

10. Julie
11. David
12. Sarita
13. Stephanie
14. Krista
15. Kristina
16. Russell
17. Franchesca

Andrea was my season favorite.

They showed a preview for the next season and redemption island is back along with 2 contestants. It looked to me like Andrea was back, I would love to see Andrea and Matt back because they were the two people who actually made it out of Redemption Island.

Well that's the end of survivor for this season! Kind of makes you wonder how the game would have gone without Rusell and Rob?

Buddy Up

So on Survivor the survivors are still sticking with there old tribes, and David is fastly becoming more like able because he stayed faithful to his tribe which really surprised me.

In the first challenge Grant kind of beasted everyone and won immunity and not even halfway through the episode the survivors were at tribal council voting someone off. Mike, being a strong physical threat, was voted out 6 (Mike) 5 (Phillip). I am honestly sad to see Mike go because this means that my favorites are fastly loosing a chance at winning this game unless they come back from redemption island.

The next challenge the survivors had to hang upside or they could have chose not to participate and eat burgers. The two old farts Phillip and Steve chose to eat burgers. I felt this was a dumb move on Steves part because his alliance is not doing well numbers wise. I think even if I had know chance of winning I would still try if I wasn't part of the stronger alliance.

It came down to David, Natalie, Ashley and Andrea and alas David fell and the girls decided to let Andrea have the win.

At tribal David made a good point by saying they knew one of there old tribe members were going to redemption island, but it may be a better way to advance since the former Ometepe tribe is so tight. And David was voted out 6 (David) to 4 (Rob).

I hope either David or Mike win redemption island, I kind of want David more then mike surprisingly. I also have 2 theories on why there are 3 people on redemption island.

#1. Either Mike or Matt got hurt and had to leave the game, and so they needed another person to compete in a duel and that there actually only 2 people on the island right now and we just don't know it.

#2. They are making a new Redemption Island tribe, with the voted off cast mates...its a stretch but who knows right?

or, most likely, they are just having a duel with 3 people.

Here are my favorites.

1. Andrea
2. Ralph
3. Julie
4. Grant
5. Mike
6. David
7. Natalie
8. Ashley
9. Steve (He dropped a lot for not participating in the challenge)
10. Boston Rob
11. Phillip
12. Matt

Found the Biggest Idiot this Season

Well through the game of survivor this season there has been one guy I have been rooting for but had a weird feeling about, that man is Matt. He was in a duel with Zarita and I wasn't sure who I wanted to win.

On one hand I like Matt better, but I like Zarita's alliance better. So I just hoped they both do well and what ever will be will be, que sera sera. Well Matt won and the tribes merged and Matt got to join them.

During the challenge I thought it was pretty obvious who would win, I knew Natalie would. Mike was doing great but I feel of the girls Natalie is the biggest physical threat. Yes Julie is a fire fighter but shes older, and Andrea may be good in the others. Clearly many of the guys are very physical and most are a physical threat but when it comes to balance I know Natalie's dancer will prevail. I am also glad she won because it proves she isn't as useless as her biffle Ashley.

So time for the scrambling....but oh wait....no one is really scrambling. Mike trys to get Matt to vote with them and Matt agrees and gets Andrea to go along.

Oh wait we forgot, Matt is a dumbass. He thinks God will lead him to what is best and he thinks God is trying to tell him to stick with his old tribe (the tribe that voted him out the second week). And also Matt's dumbass decided to fess up about trying to back stab Boston Robs tribe, oh and he threw his only real alliance under the bus (Andrea) with him.

Now I am not bashing God here if you think that's what it looks like, I actually believe that God may have been trying to give Matt a sign, a big purple sign that said vote with the other tribe. It probably looked like this:   VOTE WITH ZAPATERA

Really? He must have missed that sign. I can tell you the last people I'd trust after they voted my ass out. And even if I did stick with them I wouldn't tell them I tried to betray them...and I definitely wouldn't throw my only alliance under the bus with me.

So voting time. 1 Vote Steve (from Matt), 5 Votes Grant (from Zapatera) and 6 Votes Matt (from Ometepe)

Hey Matt just wondering....did your dumbass realize you waisted your vote? This episode his dumbassness got voted out and he also lost my support for being such a dumbass. He had his chance and ruined it, I hope whoever goes to Redemption Island next week kicks his ass lol.

And let me say this, Andrea did the right thing by voting Matt out. Thank God. Oh and for those of you keeping tally, Ralph played his hidden immunity idol for Mike tonight. So one is still left and is held by Boston Rob.

My Favorites list (its changed a bit, I'll still use old tribe colors for those who are bad with names):

1. Andrea
2. Ralph
3. Steve
4. Julie
5. Mike
6. Grant
7. Natalie
8. Ashley (I hate that shes this far up)
9. David (he didn't betray his tribe yet, so I still like him)
10. Boston Rob
11. Phillip
12. Matt (matt doesn't get a color, because he really isn't on a tribe.)


okay guys, spell check isn't working sorry for mistakes.
