Now i haven't blogged about Nicaragua this season just because i've been kinda busy. not that i don't find the show interesting.. because i do! its one of the best seasons.. i just haven't blogged but after the hype surrounding last nights episode being built up to be an "epic fight" and turning out as an "epic letdown" i thought i'd share my opinions on this one...
"Survivor fans! Ep 3 tonight. Don't miss one of the meanest things I've seen on our show" -- Jeff Probst tweet.
before i get into it tho i wanna touch on Shannon from last week since i didn't blog. shut the hell up! i've read article and article and fan opinions out the wazoo how he's a close minded idiot & a sexist. No, he's not. He's a reality show contestant and a damn good one at that! He didn't bash gays. Didn't say anything negative about gays. & to say NYC has more gays than Louisiana.. anyone who has been to both places would definitely agree with that statement. Get over it.
Now to Na Onka.. aside from Jimmy T & Marty's jealousy of Jimmy J & Jill's pure ignorance there's nothing really else to discuss about this episode so I'll spare you the rest of the details.. if you missed it go to www.cbs.com and catch up..
If i wanted to watch people sing Kumbaya and hear people talk about the weather i'd go re-watch Marquesas (but that probably wouldn't be such a bad idea.. maybe i'd get a feel as to why people think Boston Rob is so great.. i still haven't seen it after 3 seasons).. I don't tune in to watch these women on Survivor braid their hair (although that bathing scene with Jenna, Heidi & Shawna in Season 6 wasn't that disappointing) I wanna see people come to play and speak their mind. I wanna see people go from a target on day one to a finalist on day 39! whether or not they actually win, i don't give a shit (as long as it isn't a wasted win like seasons 19&20) There are three types of villains in this game. A mean villain (Corinne & Randy..) A funny villain (Courtney & Tyson..) A strategic villain (Parvati & Russell) I think Na Onka is a mix of all three. She's funny as shit! HILARIOUS! She's meaner 'n a rattlesnake! & She's strategic. Lets not get carried away and forget it was her who got Shannon out. It was her who pulled in Brenda. She made herself a part of that alliance. Sash wasn't gonna do shit to put his plan into action so she took it upon herself and now she's in a 5 person alliance. I think people consider her to be such a bitch because her target is a handicap girl.
This episode was built up to be this "epic battle" "one for the history books" "the meanest thing"... I would say Parvati using both idols & neither on her. I'd say Russell finding 3726345322 idols & convincing a former winner who obviously knows the game to give his up.. those are for the history books. I'd say lying about your grandma is a contender for the meanest thing, oh or i don't know how about telling someone to take a bottle of anti depressants because you're sick of hearing them talk about their dead father, thats pretty mean. I don't think this episode had any of that. This episode had a villain do what she could to get a hidden immunity idol clue & it just so happened the girl she got it from has an artificial leg. This is Survivor not a charity case! I think people are forgetting that.
Kelly B knew coming into survivor she only had one leg. Casting knew that when they put her on the show. It was said on day one TO HER FACE from Tyrone that no, he would not take pity on her or treat her any differently. He was there to win and quite frankly if anyone else isn't they should have never been cast in the first place. A clue to an immunity idol could be the difference in going home and winning it all. I don't care if you have one leg or 14 legs if you try to stand in my way i'll knock your ass down too to get it!
I'm Team Na Onka all the way!! I love a good villain but to act like she's mouthier than Sandra or wittier than Courtney & Tyson, meaner than Fairplay or Corinne.. you're bat shit crazy and need to go brush up on your Survivor history. She's a villain, yes. She's playing a game for a million dollars with people she's known less than 2 weeks. She's not gonna (and neither would i) buckle down and say "oh poor thing, you got one leg, here's you a million dollar check" & that my friends, is high quality entertainment that i like to tune in for & thats why Survivor is the longest running reality show on TV today.
*now to touch on Boston Rob.. i think he's horrible. he was a pre jury boot in Marquesas which is the ONLY reason he lasted as long as he did in All Stars (all the best were out early) he got eaten alive in Heroes vs Villains (because he has no strategy! he outwitted Shii Ann, Alicia & Big Tom WOOPITY DOO!) i hear a rumor he'll be on the next season.. i'm taking bids now on how long he'll last.. whataya'll think?
