Let's start with tribe attention whore, Bikal. I wanted to give Dawn a hug after Brandon went off at her. Brandon needs to take a step back to realize that this is Survivor. The million dollar factor is in play. If you are in a minority position, fighting with everyone is not going to get you far. Note to Survivor players: Minority alliance doesn't mean that you won't win, acting like a self centered ass would be be why you won't win. Brandon is writing himself the ticket out of there in crayon. Watch.
Phillip is as loony as ever. He mentions Boston Rob like the guy's on the season. In fact, I bet the only reason Phillip and Brandon are getting all of the airtime is the Boston Rob/Russell name drops. I'm sick of it, but now I know how to hog up airtime if I get cast, though I would never do such a thing. So we see little of the other Favorites sadly. I'd love to see more Corinne and Erik. This is giving me the hint that none of these guys made the merge. They are milking the airtime as much as possible before they leave, like what they did with Fran. Mark my words. However, I give Phillip credit for the "True Grit" nickname for Dawn. I love it.
Now back to tribe Douche, er Gota. Reynold takes yet another page out of the "how not to win Survivor" book in that he starts up arguments with Shamar in front of everyone. It's true that Shamar is not smart in the fact that he is doing nothing, but the big one that I saw, it was Reynold that started it up. It was a can of worms that didn't need to get open like that. I know that he needed Mike and Matt on his side, but he shouldn't have done that in front of Laura, Julia, and Sherri. Now they had more of a desperation to oust someone from the cool kids.
I'm surprised that they did another lame idol hiding strategy. The "hidden in plain sight" version was cooler. Sadly. Reynold finding it without a clue is not that impressive. I love how people think it's such a big deal when this happened first in Guatemala. It's no longer a big deal, it never was.
I'm a Laura fan. Her calling out Reynold was gold. I had a feeling that I'd love the fans. I was right. They have the camera's centered on the wrong people. Gota tribe is where it's at! This tribe is a train-wreck on fire heading towards a brick wall. But the true star of Gota right now is Sherri. Her alliance of Julia, Laura and Shamar will get far, especially since she convinced Mike and Matt to join up with them. She will get far.
Now that was a riveting episode. Today's Tweet of the Week is by none other than Laura Alexander of the Gota tribe. "I always notice a bulge"
Weekly Notes
~ Phillip almost killing himself with the tribe flag was awesome. I wish it did kill him personally, but I'll deal with him seeming like a joke.
~ THEY DIDN'T CUT FRAN OUT OF THE INTRO! I'm surprised. Although I'll bet money that they will cut Allie out.
~ I'm going to be a bit proud of this, it was LAURA who suggested Allie. I predicted that Laura would have a huge part in getting Allie out.
~Why is Reynold a "Sprint player of the week?"
~ The reaction on Sucks when Laura was announced as a choice for Sprint Player was funny. Then we get to TC...
~ To those wondering why, they probably combined the Reward/Immunity challenge to narrow down the numbers faster. 20 people this season.
~Also- it's worth noting that they did that in Micronesia. I don't mind it, since it should only be used once.

~ Yes I'm pissed Julia didn't get any airtime. However she took it well. Tweet please? "Woohoo made it through tribal. My biggest contribution to the episode? Putting my vote in the urn #thanksproduction"
~ Speaking of the challenge- why did they have Malcolm throw things again? Because that worked so well the last time.
~ A random funny moment. All of Shamar's votes came up with the right spelling, but Allie had two misspellings of her name.
~ Dear Jeff- NO one wanted to quit.
CSB's Power Rankings
1. Sherri- Leader of the majority alliance, and unlike Phillip, seems to garner the respect from her alliance members
2. Corinne- The most normal person from Bikal. Can't really put anyone else here.
3. Laura- She got a "bump" in the list for making Reynold look like the fool he is.
4. Julia- Didn't see much of her, but with Sherri's rise, Julia has to follow.
5. Dawn- Dropped due to her #SurvivorBreakdown moment. True Grit's still in this though.
6. John Cochran- Seems to be just going with the flow at the moment.
7. Matt- He chose a side, but not in power. But we'll see what this takes us.
8. Michael- *see Matt
9. Phillip- Malcolm and Cochran has voice their displeasure about "The Specialist", and they are in his alliance. Not going to get far.
10. Andrea- haven't seen much of her, so really around the same place as last time.
11. Malcolm- Such a train wreck in Challenges. Remind me how did this guy go on a challenge run?
12. Shamar- Shut up.
13. Brenda- We saw in her last season what happens when she's in a minority alliance.
14. Erik- At least your being well manored, unlike someone you decided to be an alliance with.15. Eddie- The Airhead quartet is now a Trio. They are on borrowed time.
16. Hope- *see Eddie
17. Brandon- The Immunity Idol saved you this week. Don't expect to get saved again.
18. Reynold- Has idol that everyone knows about? Starts up needless stuff? I can't wait until your vote off.
To all of those Survivor fans I say good bye. Follow me on Tweeter. Also if you have any comments or questions, feel free to E-mail me, or make a comment. Next week, Brandon will once again do all of the talking but none of the action. Can't wait to see his downfall. Also can't wait to see the cool kids crumble into nothing. All I can say is... Stay tuned. :)
