TV Review: Survivor: Micronesia - The Beginning of the End - Page 2

Part of: Survivor: Micronesia

I was confused when James was chosen as the least likely survivor to get invited to a family cook out. Everybody likes James; he seemed like one of the most likely to get invited to a barbecue. All the others were particularly easy to predict. In the end, Alexis won the reward. She could bring her brother and two other people along with their relatives and she had to send one person to Exile Island. She took Cirie and her husband and Natalie and her mother along to swim with stingless jellyfish. Amanda volunteered to go to Exile Island.

In my personal opinion, I wouldn't know how to take swimming with jellyfish. I'm kind of afraid of them. I don't think it'd be fun for me. I guess the survivors liked it though, especially being able to share the experience with their loved ones.

James was sent back to the medical team. The medic had no choice but to force James out of the game. He said goodbye to Parvati and Erik, and left to take care of his infection. Well, there goes one of my choices to win. Now my only hope is that Erik or Amanda win, I could really care less about anyone else.

Amanda began looking for the new immunity idol, which had been put on Exile Island, or so she thought. As it turns out, the last clue told Amanda that the immunity idol was at camp under their flag. Meanwhile, when Cirie, Natalie, and Alexis returned to camp, they were shocked to see James gone. Suddenly, it seemed that the end to the all-girls alliance was drawing close.

At the immunity challenge, Amanda was stunned to find that her friend, James, was gone. Jeff updated the tribe, informing them that James was fine. He explained that in this challenge the survivors would use a rifle and shoot at bottles of their colors – the first person to break three bottles won immunity. Doesn't that sound a little too easy?

Erik won the challenge easily, putting the girls in a bad position. Natalie and Alexis decided that Amanda should go. They didn't think she had the idol since she emptied her bag in front of them. However, Amanda sought help from Parvati, who refused to vote her out. Parvati distracted the tribe while Amanda looked for the immunity idol. It was her only hope to stay in the game.

At tribal council, the jury of Eliza, Ozzy, and Jason rolled in. After a minute, James also walked in with an IV attached. He explained that he needed the IV four times a day to help with the infection. Alexis and Natalie pretty much told them that Amanda was going… however, much to their surprise, Amanda played the immunity idol. Imagine my shock when, finally, someone played the idol right! Alexis was voted out, thanks to the votes by Parvati and Amanda.

    James is gone! I have no idea who I'm going to root for now. I'd say Erik, but I think he's going next.

    Nice article.

    Good recap; have been checking each day, looking for it! Also enjoy hearing about Ponderosa. It would be fitting if the favorites pulled together for the final three, although I would prefer Erik to be in there instead of Parvati.

    It definitely was enjoyable to see the surprised and stunned looks from Natalie and Alexis when Amanda used the idol.

    The reason no one would invite James to dinner is the bat eating.

    Maddy- That's probably who I'm voting for. But I wouldn't feel bad if Amanda won, Cirie would probably be my third choice (even though she got rid of Yau-man)the other two I'd hate to see win. Thanks for the comment.. sorry about James.

    Peggy- It would be a good final three- Cirie, Amanda, and Erik. I just hope anyone but Parvati or Natatlie. Thanks for the comment.

    Lynda- Huh, I suppose that makes sense. Thanks for your comment.
