Dan reveals he has a ferrari, Holly suffers a memory lapse, Marty is delusional... forget Ponderosa, these old folks are headed straight to the nursing home when they get the boot!
so last night was the double boot episode. & i woke up this morning and read blog after blog that people were stupid for not getting rid of Marty! he has an idol therefore he's a threat! & how dare everyone vote out Kelly B just because of her leg. I even read that "Brenda only wanted her gone because of her leg. Brenda made fun of her for having an artificial leg last night"... i'm not so sure i watched the same episode as that guy but whatever.. lets start from the beginning
HOLLY
Dan wants to quit. blah blah. the only thing shocking about that was little miss Holly chiming in about how he should have never even signed up if all he wanted to do was quit! Now i like Holly. i do. she seems down home and super sweet. great morals in that gal, but I'm gonna have to call bullshit on that one. at least Dan waited 2 weeks in. Holly was in tears wanting to quit on Day 4! Holly is in a great position in this game! she has the young kids on her side. she was next to go on Espada. no questions asked! her head was in the guillotine! now here she is with Yve & Dan.. both were gonna send her home no doubt about it.. Holly is probably the most physically fit of any of the old people and half of the young people out there. she's a HUGE physical threat in my eyes.. but here's Yve who doesn't seem all that weak & then there's Dan who can't even sit down without complaining of his knees hurting. He's worthless! HOLLY! what are you talking about!! you don't' need a strong tribe! you have that with Chase & NaOnka & Benry.. you don't need that with Yve. as soon as Yve joins back up with Marty & Jill she's gonna gun for you again! No questions asked you can ANNIHILATE Dan in a challenge. You wanna keep the tribe strong you're gonna go right back to where yous tarted... at the bottom of the totem pole. If you see a crack bust through there like a hurricane and use that segue to advance you further in the game. Don't even consider getting rid of Dan! I was so confused by her giving Yve ammunition to stay in this game. like i said she seems like a sweet lady, but being sweet doesn't get you a million dollars!
DAN
now i really like Dan. i love that he admits to having 6 cars & 3 houses. i love that he complained to his tribe that Holly ruined the shoes he paid $1600 for. A lot of people would think he's crazy. i would much rather vote for someone who is wealthy & independent to win the money that someone who is lazy and doesn't work and is relying solely on the show to be successful. if you work hard in life you get rewarded. if you're a 40 year old waitress i'm sorry that doesn't cut it in my opinion.
NA ONKA
i'm glad we're not seeing "bully" Na Onka anymore.. okay i'm lying. i miss her like crazy! but i think what we're seeing is the real Na Onka and CBS ran out of possible bad edits for her. Lets go back to the beginning.. episode 1 & 2 we really didn't see the bitchy side of Na Onka. we heard her say "if that leg flies off she's out of here".. well in her defense, if that leg flies off and she has to go to tribal council as a result of that loss her neck is on the line! So thats a pretty valid concern. It wasn't until after Shannon's elimination at tribal when Shannon said she was his target and that him, Kelly B, Alina & Fabio wanted her out that she started being a total bitch to Kelly B and throwing out the insults. you can cry and say she's evil and you don't like her and she gives you nightmares and you have the mindset and intimidation factor of a 4th grader all you want but truth is, she didn't do a damn thing to Kelly B. Just like we saw her say last night in regards to Dan "he's weak. pretty soon he's gonna be walking on nubs" whats the difference in her saying that about Dan and saying "Kelly B, gurrrrl you better have that leg under control!" .. if you have a potential to slow the tribe down you best be prepared to handle yourself when someone confronts you over it. this isn't charity. its survivor. everyone wants to win. Na Onka even gave her credit for doing well in the challenge, if you remember. But i miss the bitchy edit Na.
BRENDA
Brenda is brilliant. Throw in a little bit of Parvati, mix it with some Cirie, add some Russell factor, stir it all up and you have Brenda. She will bat her lashes and swing her hips just like parvati, smile to your face & charm you into believing everything she's telling you just like cirie, then she'll slit your throat like Russell. She has what it takes to win this game. I think she'll go far. Her only problem is she's in an alliance with Chase. She's in an alliance with Na Onka. She's in an alliance with Sash. She's in an alliance with Kelly Purple. She's in an alliance with Fabio... & thats all good because the majority of numbers is what you want in this game but she seems to be the glue that holds them all together.. and when that alliance starts to crumble.. and it will.. there can only be ONE winner in this game.. people are gonna start looking at her. That lone wolf, the last man standing from the opposite alliance, is gonna try and weasel his way. he's gonna use the whole "well she's tight with everyone. you're never gonna be able to beat her"... and thats true. So if she can overcome that she'll win the game
.KELLY PURPLE
okay, i'm totally kidding. i have nothing to say about her. i've never seen someone so edited out of the show in 21 seasons of Survivor. not even Brett from Samoa had it this bad!
so those are my castaway highlights this episode.. now back to the show.. I would have gotten rid of Marty, but i totally understand why they didn't. Yes he has an idol.. but you have to have more than an idol to survive in this game. & the only thing more than an idol that he has is Jill. yeah, its sad, i know. He's not a threat. He's a delusional old man who (and now this is just my opinion, we're all allowed to have our opinion so before you start bashing me go shoot yourself) more than likely beats his wife & children and makes them call him master everyday. and he's so used to being the leader in his every day life because he intimidates people into thinking he is one and so out here on this little island he's convinced himself that he can control these people as well... (okay okay i'm exaggerating a little bit but you get what i mean. & on a sidenote: if he's not married- thats probably why!) he's insane. he's like Coach from Tocantins. lost in his own little fairy tale land. The only difference is i think Coach played it up and doesn't really care if you believe him or not. Marty starts shooting steam from his ears if you doubt him. & the best part about Survivor.. there's always gonna be someone doubt you. Marty won't last much longer. He's a nut job! He's like that dying mouse that the cat plays with & Brenda is his cat. That poor little mouse holds on to hope that it will survive but we all know it won't. Marty holds on to hope that he can convince people to believe him.. but he won't. noone will ever believe him and the reason: they don't live in Martyville. I won't miss Kelly B or Yve. they were basically pointless (not as much as Kelly Purple who hopefully will go soon along with Jill) to have on the show.
