color me villain


So Survivor Nicaragua premiered 3 weeks ago and this is shaping up to be one of the greatest seasons in the show's history. We have a diverse cast. We have the lovable Jane. We have the delusional Jimmy T. We have the hot guy Chase & the hot girl Brenda (and it makes it even better that they're in an alliance/showmance) and we have the villain Na Onka. What more could you ask for in a season!?

There's been quite some controversy surrounding Na Onka (and its only 3 episodes in!) & she's getting quite the backlash from Survivor fans around the world. Even Jeff Probst tweeted she did one of the meanest things he's ever saw! Other blogs have stated she's heartless and just needs to do us all a favor and shut up. How dare she say those things about an amputee and better yet even push her down to get a clue to a hidden immunity idol!? WHAT A BITCH...

well sit back, shut your mouth, and prepare to be schooled. Grab a dictionary if you need it and study the definition of "mean" & brush up on your Survivor history...

What makes Na Onka such a bitch?
Episode 1 we heard her say "You think you can outrun me with that leg? well bitch lets race!" - SCANDAL!! .. but wait, didn't Tyrone basically say the same thing? yes! yes, he did! When Jeff asked him if he would take it easy on her he flat out said "no" and he's a grown man. A pretty physically fit grown man too! So why no controversy surrounding that?
Episode 2: She stole Fabio's socks and yelled at him and said "I can get loud too!" .. now if memory serves me correctly Sandra said VERBATIM "i can get loud too" (only she added a few cuss words to the end of it making hers far more worse) to Johnny Fairplay in Pearl Islands so surely that wasn't it.. Not to mention Russell stole socks and burned them his first night in Samoa! So why just the outpouring of hate toward Na Onka?
Episode 3 we saw her push a girl down to get a clue to a hidden immunity idol... wait, where was the backlash over Amanda & Danielle doing the same thing in Heroes Vs Villains? Maybe America is just upset because she smushed bananas. After all that is there food!.. hold up, didn't Sandra dump a whole bucket of fish? Didn't Holly JUST dump snails in episode 2? that was their food too!

Maybe her attitude is just too abrasive for some, i bet thats it! She's just too much for some to handle. I mean after all she did say she got "hood".. Thank God Ben from Samoa wasn't there to call her ghetto trash or tell her to go eat a ketchup sandwich! & Kelly B better glad she's only got one leg and not crying over her dead father because any true Survivor fan knows that Corinne wouldn't stand for that! Maybe she shouldn't have "pushed" Kelly B to the ground... but then again maybe Robb shouldn't have physically choked Clay in Thailand either. Where were his haters?? Come to think of it, she's not nearly as bad as many of the past Survivor's we've seen... Lets stroll down memory lane, shall we?

Season 1: Borneo. Sue tells Kelly "i wouldn't give you water if you dying of thirst. I'd let the vultures do with you what they will" Now to my knowledge Sue was praised for that moment! One of the best in Survivor history! EPIC! HISTORICAL! .. but isn't that saying i hope you die? i'm pretty sure it is.. I don't think Na Onka has ever said anything close to that! (but hey, it has only been 3 episodes)

Season 5: Thailand. As i touched on earlier, Robb physically choked Clay. He grabbed him by the throat and choked him! Ghandia even accused Ted of molesting her. Pretty tough allegations there, Denver Diva!

Season 7: Pearl Islands. Sandra dumped the tribe's fish. Rupert stole the tribes clothes. Fairplay lied about his grandmother dying. Sandra got in Fairplay's face and yelled "I CAN GET LOUD TOO" just like Na Onka to Fabio. & Lets not forget even sweet little old Rupert who everyone loves drew his fist back to hit Fairplay and threatened violence. Not to mention Sandra swore a lie on her kids life.

Season 8: All Stars Big Tom says Jenna should be ashamed of herself for even coming on the show with a sick mother. Kind of like kicking her when she's down, don't you think? Pretty harsh in my opinion. Rich rubbed his naked body on Sue, people go to prison for that stuff! (he did, but not for that)

Season 9: Vanuatu Twila swore a lie on her son's life. At final 4 Twila, Scout & Chris basically harassed Eliza every second of every day. Kinda mean to the poor girl, bullying her... just in the past 3 weeks there have been 4 teens commit suicide because of bullying. It can be a pretty tough thing to handle!

Survivor 15: China. Courtney made fun of Denise's hairstyle. her appearance. Said she must be so sad to look the way she does and live the way she does. Denise even lied to MARK BURNETT and got $25k!! out of it!

Season 17: Gabon. Wow, what didn't Randy & Corinne do or say to poor Sugar & Susie? That whole season was full of mean spirited insults! I could sit here and list all day long but i think we've all seen that season.

Season 18: Tocantins. Lets not forget the comment Coach made at the immunity challenge following Sandy's exit about her. Or how Tyson treated Sierra. Or Coach & Debbie treated Sierra. Mean ol' Tyson, Coach, & Debbie!!

Season 19: Samoa. Russ lied about being a Hurricane Katrina Survivor. He stole socks. Poured out water. Hid machetes. Ben called Yasmine "ghetto trash" and told her to go eat a ketchup sandwich. Ben was kicked out of a challenge for unnecessary physical violence. Shambo's entire tribe made fun of her looks and isolated her!

Season 20: HvV -. Jerri called Parvati a slut. Parvati said Russell looked like a toothless troll... Danielle & Amanda fought over a clue to a hidden immunity idol as well.

In Australia a 60 year old man who couldn't swim had to jump off a 100+ foot cliff. A vegetarian had to eat sea slugs to win immunity. In Amazon a deaf girl had to miss out on late night. strategizing because she couldn't see to read lips. In Samoa a 300 pound man was body slammed in a challenge and had to be removed from the game because of it..

My point is Kelly B knew coming into Survivor there would be tough obstacles to face.

ANYONE whose there to win the game would fight over a clue (its happened before and i'm sure it will happen again) despite who you're up against. One leg, two legs, three legs... doesn't matter! a hidden immunity idol clue is a potential lifeline in the game! I'm pretty sure your family will forgive you for swearing a lie on their lives when you bring home a large sum of cash! Everyone is there with one goal in mind: TO WIN! No one signed up to help someone else win, they signed up to play because they wanted to win themselves! Only a fool (cough* Ian cough*) would give up the game for someone else.

Nothing Na Onka has said or done hasn't been done before on the show, in fact (as i just listed) a lot worse has been said and done on the show.
So my question to all the Na Onka "haters" is why? why do you hate her so bad? what has she done that you feel is so horrible? I could care less if people love or hate her, its a game and its all a matter of opinion of who you like and don't like. However i think its a bit much to call her the meanest person to ever play the game and say she's mean spirited and "pure evil" as people have said.

I'm sure some will respond with "Michael you don't know anything" or "you're one of 3 who like her" (just a little fact about me, i could care less if the entire world is doing it, i'm the kinda person who makes up my own mind. i'm not easily influenced by others).. and thats your opinion you're allowed to have it. But i'm not asking you to agree or disagree with me. I'm asking you, after me just listing all the things thats happened in past seasons compared to what Na Onka has said & done in season 21 what makes you consider her to be the biggest bitch? I will agree she is definitely the biggest villain on Season 21 of the show, but in the show's history? She doesn't even come close! (and i would say thats just my opinion but i've kind provided facts to back it up so i guess its not technically an opinion, right?)
