Wow! The double helping of Survivor this week was insane. I thought for sure that the first hour would be a predictable No Collar lost with a Will boot, but I was wrong. Blue Collar finally got a taste of tribal council and we got to see who was really on the bottom of everything. I'm splitting the 2-hour show into two separate posts in order to avoid rambling for too long on the whole thing. Let's get started!
Reward Challenge Fiasco
I'm skipping to the reward challenge because the only thing that happens in the first five minutes is that Will realizes he's screwed if NC loses again and Rodney grows some hair on his chest after eating a snake. Pretty gnarly.
So Blue Collar is an absolute mess during this entire challenge. You'd think they'd be excellent at shouting directions since all they do is scream at each other at camp. Kelly's injury looked extremely serious but luckily enough she was able to get it patched up very quickly. She might have gotten hurt but at least the whole event made Mike want to align with her. I guess if you ever need some allies in Survivor, all you have to do is just bust your head open during a challenge and the offers will start flowing in.
Works 10% of the Time, 100% of the Time
So after a much deserved win, NC start cooking a chicken instead of the rooster. Chalk up another solid decision from the NC tribe. Jenn takes a walk away from the chicken carnage and finds an idol. This situation couldn't have worked any better for Jenn. No one will question her for walking around for so long because of her reaction to the chicken, so she doesn't have to worry about being suspected for idol hunting. I'll touch on this more in part two, but this could be the beginning of Jenn becoming a solid player.
Higher Standards/Shirin the Bunny Slayer
In a shocking turn of events, we are brought back to the BC tribe arguing. Rodney and Lindsey are discussing the standards between females and males, which is a great topic to discuss when you're playing a social game (this is sarcastic). Rodney should try and stick to his 3 C's because right now he's practicing what I call the 3 D's (dumb, delusional, doomed).
Meanwhile on the White Collar tribe, Shirin reveals that she's a total psychopath. I'm with Joaquin on this one, Shirin very well might be a serial killer. Someone call Serial, I think we found the killer. For someone who prides themselves on the game, Shirin's social perception is completely off. She just makes everything extremely awkward and uncomfortable for everyone around her.
Carolyn seems to think of Max as the bigger target. I don't think Max's beard helps with the accusation of being a cult leader. No one seems to be biting and I don't blame them. Shirin is just as annoying as Max but worse in challenges. Axing Shirin would be the better play because she is someone that could go far if she made merge, whereas Max is more likely to be targeted.
Blue Collar Loses It
So after a close immunity challenge, BC earns a date with Probst at tribal council. Fun fact, this is the first time in a three tribe format that all three tribes went to a tribal council before any kind of switch up. I honestly thought Rodney was screwed, especially after Jeff spent so much time poking at Rodney and his mother issues at TC. Rodney is only making the target on his back bigger and bigger, and is setting himself up to be used by players such as Mike and Kelly.
I'm not sure how I feel about the tribe voting out Lindsey instead of Rodney. They've completely alienated Sierra right before a swap, which can be extremely dangerous for them long term. They need to handle Sierra with the utmost respect if they want to prevent her from screwing all of them.
I think that keeping Rodney has it's advantages though. He's quickly angered and is a total loud mouth aka the perfect shield! It does make sense to keep a big target like Rodney in the game, hiding behind his antics and using him as a buffer. Rodney keeps talking about his temper and I don't think we're far from the ultimate Rodney outburst, it's going to be interesting to see.
