NUMFAR! DO THE DANCE OF JOY, FOR THE BICH-FACE HAS MELTED!
Now, what?
Now that Laura is gone, praise be to the cosmos, I hope we won't be seeing a comeback of the early, self-overconfident Russell. All right, he has not changed by much, but Russell the desperate underdog is more fun to watch. That better won't have changed. His biggest threat is out of the picture, and so is his reason for remaining 24/7 game-alert. Man better not become complacent and thus, boring.
With all frankness, this episode was like a second orgasm after fifty; the climax I wanted didn't feel as hot as I liked. I knew it was pretty much a given that Russell, bless that man, would find the idol again, what with his having brains among the brainless. Still air-kicked and penguin-clapped in glee like a fool, regardless. Finding the idol FOR THE THIRD TIME simply baffles me, yet it makes sense. Maybe all the past Survivor contestants have been that dim. Have idols always been this easy to find, minus the seasons with Exile Island?
John has been somewhat less of a sheepling than the rest of Galu, so him flipping was of no real surprise to me. Laura losing the immunity challenge early into the game sealed it. Less of givens, moar unpredictability, please. This constant everything's-going-as-planned is getting old, and I root for Foa Foa! For now, anyway. Actually more on whichever side Russell's on, even if it's on his own.
My admiration for Natalie goes up every episode. Love that woman to bits now. She gave her all in the reward challenge, hanging just with her back knees while John hardly did half that effort! I am hoping to see her at least in the final three, and Russell if possible. And she slept with Laura right after they got back from last week's TC, with emotions no doubt running high on Laura's side. I'm surprised Nat wasn't set on fire in her sleep.
Shambo, you were an interesting oddity, for a while. Now, you're just plain annoying. Go away. Dave is still dum-dum. While still an non-entity, Brett was looking mighty calculating in his hammock. Or that may be his I-worry-I-might-be-next-and-I-don't-know-what-to-do face. Or I could go on and on speculating because we know near NOTHING about him. Mick and Jaison, blah. Erik's comments at TC were great, as usual, and Kelly looked stunning.
Monica wasn't as much of a laze-about as I thought. Ultimately, however, she failed spectacularly. None voted for John and Foa Foa now knows it. Bar Russell, the rest of them should now know better than to trust her further than they can throw a tractor.
when he is blindsided)
I just think that he and Shambo seem to genuinely support one another.
