TV Review: Survivor Micronesia - So It's Come to This
Published April 25, 2008
I guess what made me mad about this part was that Amanda and James merely accepted their fate when they had the power to change everything. Amanda was there when the planning went on, she could have told Jason that Natalie was planning against them and then Amanda, James, Erik, and Jason could have blindsided the girl's alliance and have gotten someone else off. Instead, Amanda was too spineless to go forward with it and James just assumed Jason would use the idol.
He proved to be mistaken at tribal council. Jason didn’t play the idol which was his demise. He was the next person voted out. Now, there is some major ranting I must do!
Natalie: She's a witch, no doubt about it. She's mean and nasty, and she admitted so herself. Saying that she could be cut-throat and that was the way she is in real life? It was cruel the way she played Jason, and I almost hate her more than Parvati (if that's possible).
Parvati: Way to go, smart one, you pissed off half the people on the jury almost guaranteeing you won't win the game. Then you try to act all sweet and innocent when the people come down on you. I can't wait for her reaction when Natalie decides she's no longer useful and tosses her aside like an old dirty towel.
Amanda: A dead jelly fish has more spine then she does. She could have changed the game completely and thrown Parvati out. Instead, she's following Parvati's orders like a good little girl and complained when things didn't go her way. Obviously, Amanda can talk the talk, but she completely fails to walk the walk.
James: Why is he letting them run the game? Did he think to ask Jason about the idol? They could have pulled off a major backfire-blindside. I mean, James is one of my favorites to win at this point, but he can't just lay back and accept the votes, if that's the case, then he might as well give up.
Cirie: Hmmm, fourth or fifth? With the game she's playing right now, she's setting herself up to be betrayed by those girls. I, of course, would take joy in that considering she got Yau-man off, however, she might not like it so much. Does she really think Parvati's going to take her to the end? Amanda too? I think she either needs to wise up or get out.
Alexis: All aboard the coat-tail express! She contributes nothing to strategy or camp from what I've seen. Basically she's just there to exist. Honestly, who does she have to trust? Amanda's ready and willing to betray her. Parvati doesn't have her in her top 'friendsies' list, and her biggest ally is Natalie, who may see her as disposable. Yeah, go girl-power, but what power is this girl contributing? Nothing. I'd rather not see another person in the final two who didn't do anything to belong there.

My mom and I were saying the same things about Natalie ... It's one thing for someone to be like that in the game but in real life? Last nights Survivor was kind of disappointing. I hope James, Amanda, and Erik find something to do other then wait for their time to leave.
Thanks for the comment Peggy!
Katelynn.
I had thought that Ozzy not playing the Immunity Idol last week was the dumbest Survivor mistake ever, surpassing James being eliminated with two Idols. I now take back that assessment and give that particular honour to Jason for not playing the idol. I mean he saw what happened to Ozzy last week and let's face it, you don't have to be Jean-Robert Bellande (the Poker player from Survivor: China) to read Natalie's "poker face." Nine out of ten idiots could see he was going down. Too bad he was the tenth idiot.








Excellent recap! I have been a Survivor fan since the beginning but what happened last episode really left a bad taste in my mouth. Natalie talking about flossing with somebody's jugular; how charming is that? I am beginning to dislike her as much as Boston Rob. I agree that Amanda, James and Erik lost a major opportunity to turn the game in their favor.
