TV Review: Survivor: Micronesia - It Wasn't on Thursday Night!
Published March 20, 2008
Wednesday night I was on fellow Blogcritics writer CallmeMaddy's radio show, The Teenaged World of Maddy :), when she informed me Survivor was on that night instead of Thursday. I didn't know what to think. I know they put Survivor on Wednesday night at least once during the season, but they hadn't said anything about it after last week's survivor. Thankfully, the Survivor Website had the episode up and I was still able to watch it.
Let me tell you, I am so glad I did.
At the Airai tribe, it seemed like being surrounded by women was driving James insane. The women were complaining about the weather and being stuck in the cave while James worked to make the cave more comfortable. I can't help but wonder, though, is James going insane because the women are complaining, or is he going crazy because, besides Jason, the tribe is all women? I'm not saying he's not being a little over-dramatic about the complaining, but I don't think any guy wants to have to spend 24 hours a day surrounded by women (and Jason). I think he's just looking for some man time.
The next day at Malakal, Ozzy the Fish Man wanted to get some fishing done. He took Amanda and Cirie out fishing and, well, took charge. I guess he was bothering Cirie and Amanda with his commands and they were calling him arrogant. From what I saw, Ozzy was just getting work done. He was fishing! It's his natural environment. It's why I call him Ozzy the Fish Man - because he's half-man, half-fish. He knows what he's doing. Then they get mad because Ozzy wouldn't let them kill the chickens. What is with these women? Now they're just trying to disobey Ozzy in some way just to show they can. It's crazy.
Erik seems to be the only one who appreciates Ozzy. In fact, Erik decided to learn from Ozzy and actually learned to climb the tree. I think I saw Ozzy wipe a tear from his eyes as he welcomed Erik as his new Grasshopper. Cirie was making a big fuss about it. I didn't think she had much to complain about since they were getting coconuts for their tribe.
At the reward challenge, it was no shock that Chet was gone. (Should there be?) The challenge consisted of large money stones that Micronesian's used to use as currency. Two tribe mates would direct the others while they pushed the money stone through the forest. They would use the money stone to crush boxes of their tribal colors and pick up smaller money stones. They would then use those money stones to complete a puzzle. The first tribe to complete the puzzle won a reward of a waterfall spa trip with shampoo.
