Survivor: Cook Islands – Week 9

Once again I’ve let my personal life get in the way of my blogging, and for that, I’m forever in your debt. I hope you won’t hold it against me. On the plus side, I did get my Real Estate license, so “Yay!” But what’s going on with Survivor?!? I miss one episode and everything is crazy. Candice and Jonathan mutinied? Mutiny? What a great idea! I love that they’re continually mixing things up to keep everyone on their toes.

Just one comment about Episode 8. How great was it when Jeff was doing the play-by-play on the Drop the Cannonballs on the Targets challenge and Jonathan said something under his breath, then Jeff asked him what he said? So Jonathan is completely peeved because his new tribe had a lead, but his old tribe caught up and passed them so he whined, “Whatever Jeff.” To which Probst dryly replied, “And Jonathan is get irritated by me.” Classic! Go watch the video, it’s hilarious.

Voted Off
The underdog Aitu tribe wins their third straight immunity challenge which forces Raro to start cleaning house. First to go is the most non-productive member of the tribe, Rebecca. Even though no one, except maybe Adam trust the mutinous newcomers, they still keep them around and toss loyal Rebecca overboard. Nice.

Then in another Survivor twist, the unknown message in a bottle forces them to vote off another. Surprise! Surprise! Jonathan is saved because Jenny had talked about possibly voting Candice off and her boyfriend Adam chivalrously came to her rescue. Gotta factor in those hormones girl.

I’m still pulling for Yul, gotta love his consistancy and now Ozzy is growing on me too. No BS just letting his actions speak for themselves. At some point they’ll be at odds, but that’s what makes this game so great.
