North of Eden

I will confess Andy French kissing a soccer ball was not high on mu bucket list. Amazing they were able to look even stupider for voting Sol out last week by Kyle winning yet AGAIN...they had their shot and let it walk through their fingers because they listened to....Geneiveve? The bland girl who is so unremarkable I can't remember her name betraying Sue was not a boss move...it was just dumb. Voting out one of your closest allies and alienating the other. All fake enthusiasm aside Jeff can't be happy about losing the shot in the dark since I'm sure he's always hoping it will do a dramatic save like last season or was it the season before? I don't know. It was a bad move him accepting it and for them offering it. Still we got this gem: Sierra: It's not worth it....as she sits there with a tummy full of a burger, coke and fries or whatever else they are serving up for the jury. Sol...looking bad ass!

nothing to see here

Late to the party with this But props to whoever cast The actor playing Cutter. He was looking perfect In the Role of a greedy real estate Developer. Kind of remind me of A younger version of actor Danny Houston. Late to the party with this But props to whoever cast The actor playing Cutter.

It was a no win scenario for me when it was down to my two favorite players Sue and Sol. What a bunch of dummies not taking the shot at comp beast Kyle when they had the chance...and Sam is still in the game....why? No just no to the giant bats. Getting vote back comp gets a 10 score for creativity and the location. Well done. Why go through the charade of sending Caroline to the voting booth? Sierra shows up with classic b#$%h face on.

Therron's histrionics are a bit much. Producers must be manipulating to keep Dennis in so there can be a villain. Jenneye is one of those people who are hot when you see her hair and not when you don't. As for the above about it being boring. It started out with a bang but you can only watch people one by one climb up, down or across something. and that bird flying through the valley was on so much it should have its own SAG card.

The cameo by the gross food challenge was the first thing that brought a genuine ear to ear smile from me this season. Who doesn't love seeing castaways eating live larva....for nothing! Second smile was from "oldster" Sue besting so many "youngsters"....rooting for her and Sol to go the distance. Sierra was good eye candy but that was pretty much it. Nice to see Sam on his heels. But sorry trying to make Andy look like Clark Kent becoming Superman by taking off his glasses didn't work.

LOL...Mak...I meant Mak!

How is it possible the producers haven't realized that almost no one likes the episodes where most of the people on the newly merged tribe are safe? Compounded by the random draw turning out like it did. The only thing that saved Jeff and the gang was that advantage being found and it looked like it came close not to be which makes me wonder what they would have done. Anyway, sorry T but I laughed at you when you were voted out. Her obsession with Gabe was getting trying and veering towards the territory of that woman a couple seasons of ago who would not let go of her fixation on a male member of the tribe she didn't like. (sorry their names are long gone from my head) For a hot moment before tribal I thought maybe Caroline was going because she e hasn't said two words the whole season and suddenly, she was prominent. This is the first time in two weeks that I watched my DVR the same night the show aired. I finally figured out what the problem is. Besides the too long length there is no compelling character to follow their transformation like Emily-she was a villain in the season premier but the deeper she went in the game and the more she evolved she had people including me rooting for her to make it to the end. There is no one like that this season. They are making lame attempts I guess with Andy but it's not working. To end on a positive note...I do like Sol but I fear he's placing himself in danger by trying to throw shade on Sam. Get on Sam's bad side and you could wind up like Anika.

You'd have to have s%#t for brains to target and oust someone that could lead you to the Summit. You want to cut them them the night before the final ascent okay but NOW? In other news, that should have been Swetka trudging up the hill-one of the two anchors should have been voted out last episode, not her. Now look at how they dragged everyone down. Ferren was an embarrassment at the top of the ladder, while Rob surprised me with a family. My gaydar must be officially shot. New Zealand must have lax safety rules the way they keep menacing hikers with the rotor blades. The best ending would be when the Mountain Keeper lands the helicopter to reveal that she was really Swetka all along (like John Kramer in SAW was the body the whole time) and gives them a final choice: sacrifice Manu Bennet or keep the money. Bye Manu

I was unusually bored with this episode. Never thought I would say it but some of these 90 minute episodes are too long. It didn't help front loading it with the Social whatever they were calling it. That was not engaging at all and I was getting restless. Then as soon as yellow lost I knew it would be an inevitable slog to Anika's ouster since Sam has been gunning for her since about episode 2 because she had the audacity to question the shelter building if I recall correctly. That was a shame. She really was a nice, likable inoffensive person but manly man Sam was threatened by her and keeps the black hole of suck a/k/a Andy. The episode was only redeemed by the last 5 minutes when we finally got an HONEST reaction to a blindside. That's the way it's supposed to be...no fake, fake, nice, nice to the people that took away your shot at the money. I applaud Anika. Lasty I was worried Sol tripping running to the mat would cost the victory. Glad it worked out and he got to stay.

Never thought I would see anything worse than taking Derrick to the finale bu Cam was a slam dunk. Years from now when ever Chelsie gets into a financial jam she'll be haunted by this horrific decision. Laughing at Chelsie for putting the correct answer back in the box on the last question. I wish it could have wound up costing her final 2 but alas... Jeezus Angela can't you be graceful. That whole thing with Matt was uncomfortable. Not sure why Rubina was acting so ambivalent about Tucker. If either of the two would have moved on I would have thought it was him being out in the world and probably meeting all sorts of babes now that he's "famous". Quinn? Quinn is a top three vote getter? In what universe? Producers missed a great opportunity....when Ainsly was begging for her life she should have morphed back into her human avatar from the premiere in a sympathy play before turning back into AI and dissolving. Why could I think of that and I'm not even a TV producer? Yah for Taylor instead of Dr. Will. He's been played out for over a decade. In other news T'Kor is still boring. Cheesy as it was....going out with a revived Jankie and the song was well played. And I also enjoyed a cute moment earlier when the red dress sisters Rubina and Brooklyn were doing some sort of dance before the commercial break. That is all. Happy to see Reindeer Games this year has apparently been called on account of stupidity. See some of you on the SURVIVOR and SUMMIT boards!

I can't believe the producers were happy to lose Swetka in episode 2..taking out their primary villian and only female eye candy. The helicopter menacing Geoff looked to me like the most dangerous thing I have ever seen on a reality TV show. I was getting Vic Morrow/Twilight Zone flashbacks. The could have gone south in so many ways. How much time does the USAF give someone off that Pumkin has time to go jetting off to New Zealand to be on the show? LOL editing it to look like Bo fell to his death instead of dangling like a spent yo/yo. Also LOL at the gratuitous bikini shots in what appeared to be a very cold climate. I don't understand why you would WANT to vote out a leader. A leader might be the only thing to get you to the summit on time and not go home with lent in your pocket.

I thought we were going to get our first ever SURVIVOR fisticuff. The way Rome kept pushing Sol with childish antics like following him everywhere was so over the top that if it had been happening to me I would have snapped. Sol has more patience in his pinkie than I do in my whole body. I'll have to go back and rewind but it looked like they were stacking the pieces that didn't fit into a vertical pile...way to make finding the next piece if they ever found the first one way harder....talk about gilding the lily with stupidity. Didn't really like Kishan because as I said in the premiere I feel like we've seen his character a hundred times before on the show. Who is this Caroline and where did she come from? Teeny is boring. That is all.

I feel like the chicken and the egg principle applies here somewhere LOL. Much appreciated you trying though!

31 one replies before mine! I had to check and see if I was in the right episode....there hasn't been that many in weeks. Anyway. Makensy winning everything is SUPER (wink, wink) boring. You could find more adults that believe in Santa Clause than those who believe Mak would actually put Cam on the block. Props to the houseguests for showing the normal amount of emotion from the loved one videos who spend three times longer away from family and friends than those on SUVIVOR, yet they didn't resort to the overwrought blubbering we are treated to when the castaways get a more LETTER! Mak's dad looks straight out of central casting and Kimo's mom looks like the woman on the MAGNUM PI reboot. Kimo goes home...to be hones I would have preferred the alternate universe where he went home in the first eviction I as that would have kicked the Matt/Angela fatal attraction storyline that got truncated into overdrive! Let's talk about the elephant in the room here. Is anyone else feeling as annoyed as I am that the second biggest prize money is going to go to Cam...a man who is literally a floater's floater...I mean I think even that Victoria chick from a decade ago did more. How is it fair that others who actually played the game are going to get much less? This could have been 90 minutes...I say less tortilla slapping and more jury house. Speaking of which: much ado about nothing (Angela's hyperbole on the biggest twist) the only thing that Leah's admission did was twist the knife a little harder in the gut to Joseph watching at home that he didn't even get that. It's not like Leah is about to drag him to the nearest bedroom. Lastly I would have been SO disappointed if we didn't get to see Jankie's death scene...easily one of the top five moments of the season.
