Well, tonight’s Survivor was surprising to say the least. However, it felt like a so-so show compared to last week. Overall, I’m happy with the results.
The show started the morning after the favorites voted out Yau-man (I'm still mad about that). Cirie immediately attacked Ami for voting for her at the last tribal council. Ami pointed out that it didn’t make a difference, but Cirie carried on and on about how she never would have written Ami’s name down.
Okay, well, if it were I in Ami’s shoes, I would have pointed out that Cirie had betrayed me by switching alliances, and therefore I had a reason to vote for her. I mean, how could she not expect her name to be written down after last week? I’m surprised Jonathan didn’t vote for her too. I would have; if for nothing else than to assure Cirie I no longer felt any loyalty to after she had betrayed me so easily.
Jonathan tried to tell Cirie off, but she would hear none of it. I have to be honest, I’m liking Cirie less and less each time I listen to her. She’s being a bit of a brat. Part of it might be because I like Jonathan and I’m still upset that they voted Yau-man out, but I still have the other reasons for disliking Cirie. How can she yell at Ami for betraying her and yet not allow anyone to yell at her for betraying them. Wow!
In any case, Eliza started to feel sick. James took notice and acted nicely at first. He later went to Ozzy and told him how stupid it was to vote out Yau-man. Ozzy and James then went on to talk about how stupid it was with Eliza laying feet away from them. Weakly, she yelled at Ozzy and James, telling them how inconsiderate it was to say she should have been gone when she was only feet away. “I’m just fine [coughs up lung]!” maybe it was a little mean, but it was the truth. It would have benefited the team more if the weakest link was gone. At the moment, the weakest link is Eliza.
Now, what was happening with the fans? Well, a lot of people were complaining about Chet’s laziness around camp. Jason and Mikey seemed especially disgusted with how little he did. Mikey decided to put his vendetta with Joel aside, so if they had to go to tribal council, Chet would be the next one out. Not as much happened there, really.

Great job. Much more effort that expected, and you told the tale of the episode well.
Chad's gotta go.

I love Tracy. She was very cunning to save Chet, but she's got possibly the two weakest players in her alliance. Cirie is very annoying.
3 - Bennett
Agreed! Tracy has set herself up for a few more weeks at least. Smart cookie that one.
How funny was James solving the word puzzle in 2 seconds? "Triumphant? That's a word, right?"
Ozzie is a serious contender.

"Ozzie is a serious contender."
I disagree. The studs rarely win Survivor. Other than Tom the firefighter I can't think of one. He'll get close and then when he doesn't win immunity his group will throw him overboard.
5 - Bennett
Yeah, there's that. It's still way too early to be betting on anybody.

If Ozzy can keep winning challenges once the merge happens he could go all the way, he did last time, I still think he should have won over Yul.
Tracy really impressed, she's been kind of in the background until the last episode. I really like how she saved Chet. That takes alot, I thought he was gone for sure.
Thanks for the comments!

"I really like how she saved Chet"
The wife and I speculate that they turned the guy I call "Peter Frampton" (not sure of his name, but he was the swing vote in blindsiding Mikey) by telling him that his life would be a LOT like prison life if he didn't go along...
He is kinda cute, and Chet (Rod Stewart after heroin) is available.
But that's just speculation.

Frampton? His hair isn't pink and he speaks in a normal voice. You old-timers with your 70's references. I don't know his name either, which is why I call that same guy Leif Garrett. You could tell when he was talking to Jeff about his criteria that he was going with Joel.
9 - Bennett
Heh, Old-Timers. As if.
Check out the cover of "Frampton Comes Alive" and then you tell me. I think Frampton's voice IS normal when not talking through that damn 'guitar box'...
Leif Garrett?!? Damn teen idol?! Like Frampton, there is a resemblance (Frampton is closer), but Leif's most recent google photo looks like he was in a motorcycle accident, without a helmet.
You young pups got some learnin' to do.

Eh, I'd have to say Erik looks more like a young Peter Framton, sorry El Bicho....
11 - Bennett
Right, Leif looked like that in the 70's...
Fucker.
My jaws still hurt from grinning.
Katelynn, thanks for the second.
