Another awesome Survivor contestant bites the dust. This time, it was Joel, not his counterpart Chet, who literally ate dust in the reward challenge this week. This time Chet survives at the ousting of the big firefighter Joel. Joel thrashed Chet around in the reward challenge, darn near made his teeth cave in a couple of times. Chet was useless again in the challenge, but that’s not the point. Joel was equally as useless for lashing out at him. By the way, how unbelievably hypocritical was Joel regarding Chet this episode? He kept going on about how the weak shouldn’t last, and how he’s a disgrace, a horrible competitor etc., yet he kept him last week! Mikey B. was the one who got the screw job at the hands of Joel, and now this time Joel got screwed by Chet. You got hosed Joel! It’s a damn shame, because you were an interesting character (one of the few left), but the writing was on the wall…
Now that Joel is gone, that makes 4 of the first 5 voted off contestants as ones that were great TV. There’s hardly anyone else who can provide drama and funny commentary. Basically those left are Jonathan Penner, James and as much as I hate to say it, Cirie. Speaking of which, you have to give Cirie credit. I still don’t like her, but she is playing this game hard, and is doing it well. It stinks because all the good people are leaving at the hands of her, but she’s at least doing something, which is more then could be said about most on the program…
One of the greatest lines in the shows history occurred last night! When Penner was whining about the challenge being unfair, Jeffrey Probst drops the bombshell! “You guys got to stop bitching and start throwing.” HAHA! Absolute gold Probster. Pure genius! How many exclamation marks can I use for this entire paragraph!? Apparently I used six!
This episode made this season quite a bit better. Still not thinking it’s all that amazing thus far, but it was one of the best episodes yet. Of course, it wasn’t as good as Johnny Fairplay in the 1st episode. But I’m still bitter about that…
More Survivor talk coming up!
