TV Review: Survivor 13: Cook Islands - Episode 11

Eight are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Hey, I thought the merged tribe chose to stay at the campsite with no rats - Raro's original camp. Why did Night 27 open with rat shots? Unless, of course, they were symbolic rats. I've noticed that either rats or snake shots happen before Jonathan is shown.

In my own opinion (mainly because I find her annoying), they could have been symbolic Parvati rats, too. She was lighting right into Jonathan about his flipping at Tribal Council. And, Jonathan couldn't hold it in any longer. He told the ex-Raro group (Parvati, Adam, and Candice) that Yul indeed had the hidden Immunity Idol from Exile Island. They were too busy calling him a filthy miserable rat to pay much attention to that important news.

Now, to me, Jonathan is as bad about Parvati as she is about him. In the morning, he went on and on about how she's been on the island for 28 days and she hasn't cleaned a fish, nor does she have a clue how to go about it. Jonathan mentioned how lazy Parvati is as he tried to keep in good graces with the ex-Aitu bunch (Yul, Ozzy, Becky, and Sundra).

Parvati won the bid for the bubble bath.This week's episode marked the just about mandatory Survivor auction for reward-type items. There are usually a few duds under covers mixed in with the good stuff. Each castaway was issued $500. They could lend and borrow money amongst themselves, but they couldn't share any of the winnings. Jonathan went to town winning a hot dog meal with beer (that he spilled) and pizza (which he licked). Parvati won the bid for a bubble bath and a piece of chocolate cake. Ozzy won ice cream. Sundra got a booby prize of a sea cucumber.

Ah, but it was Becky who won the best prize of all. It was a mystery note which Jeff said would hold power in the game. Borrowing money, Becky bid $640 for it. Inside the envelope? A chance to send a player to Exile Island. She decided to send Candice there for a fourth time. Talk about crumbling someone!

    How is Candice not a not a rat? I think Jonathan is smart enough to realize that playing the villian might be is only shot to the final. Nate and everyone else make me sick. The game is to get to the end, and just because you got lazy and comfortable doesn't mean the people who outlast you are bad. Did you see Becky's face when Yul was talking about the jury and said whoever he gets to the final two with and not when you and I get to the final two?

    "Of course, that made the very rational and smart-playing Yul question again whether keeping Jonathan would hurt his chances with the jury."

    It's funny, because Candice et al promised to vote for Yul in the finals if they would just rid of Johnathan now, but thank god Yul isn't that dumb.

    If Yul gets to the final w/ Johnathan, all of the Johnathan haters will vote for Yul to WIN, no matter what.

    Candice is not going to say "I'm voting Johnathan to WIN because Yul didn't take my deal to get rid of Johnathan like I asked, so the "Slimeball" should win"

    Yul is smart to think he should get to the final 2 with Johnathan. It would be an easy win for Yul.
