This felt like such a good, wonderful, classic episode ofSurvivor.
There was a reward challenge (remember those?)
that had nothing to do with journeys or clues or hidden advantages.
The highlight for me is the rice negotiation that kicks off the immunity challenge.
Because the players make choices, and choices lead to consequences, and that makes for good television.
Gabe tries to lower the number, but Jeff says no.
Then Caroline offers that two people will give up their Shots in the Dark.
Jeff again says no.
Then Kyle suggests they should all give it up, except Rachel, who used hers to no avail.
Its only ever been played successfully a few times.
Get rid of them.
It is an excellent argument, and Sam relents.
Also, Rachel thinks Genevieve is gunning for her, and Teeny is pissed at Genevieve for betraying her.
It seems like everyone is thinking that Genevieve is playing a bit too well.
Genevieve turning on her former tribe mates did lead to a great monologue from Teeny.
I really love this because we know thatSurvivors fanbase isnt necessarily as super liberal as many other television audiences.
However, it is not to be.
Of those six, onlyTom WestmanandMike Hollowaywent on to win their seasons.
One of those players isOzzy Lusth, who playedfourtimes and never won.
That means in 47 seasons, being a challenge beast only worked twice.
Why would anyone want to win so many challenges?
When everyone gets to Tribal Council, my jaw immediately drops.
Sol has had a shower and a shave and is wearing a vest with no shirt underneath.
Where was this hottie hiding all season?
