voting off the person that I want to see have their torch snuffed. In each of the first four weeks we saw the eliminated castaway portrayed as either an awful game player, or an awful human being, and I can't remember being so satisfied with the first four boots in a very long time.
This week there are some major shake up's in the castaway's rankings...
15. Drew
Drew, doing what he does best. Besides European modeling, of course.
- While Drew single-handedly shot himself in the heart this week, and made himself look like a complete scumbag, I do have to admit that I liked his determination with the flint bartering. I'm not sure why the rest of the tribe mates (especially Kelley) were so against him asking. What was the worst that could happen? Probst could make you feel like a complete moron, sure, but it is a risk they all should have been willing to take.
It pays to have some friends in the editing room, and clearly Drew has none. This episode alone we hear him saying "I'm a ladies man, and it works to my advantage" and "All these bitches will come to us" (only to have him voted off by all the woman. He also said, "I'm a badass and a manipulator of this game" (only to have him be voted off a half hour later.)
Even his best buddy Jon told him he was being a jackass because he was talking about voting off Kelley right in front of her. His response: "I don't care."
Drew has said some funny things this season, and I was beginning to like him, but this episode brought that process to a screeching halt.
14. Dale
Dale, either having a heart attack from exertion, or from disbelief that his tribe actually won an immunity challenge.
At least Dale realizes how screwed he is in regards to his positioning within the tribe, and it looks like next weeks tribe switch may allow Dale a new lease at life. Dale has become quite the sideline cheerleader, but his taunting "you throw like a girl, Jon" is probably not going to do him any favors when it comes time to make new friends next week. In a dream world, he will end up on the same tribe as his daughter, Kelley, and she will lead the charge to send her old man packing.
13. Jeremy
This behind the scenes footage may be the closest we ever get to seeing Jeremy actually smile. At least, I think that is an attempt at a smile.
If anyone isn't there to have a good time, it's Jeremy. Would it kill the guy to tell a joke, or have a laugh? Jeremy may be playing a decent game, but I think his mouth (announcing to the entire tribe that he was in an alliance with Keith at tribal), and temper (Jon, get your boy; get your dawg), may get him into trouble sooner rather than later. Next week is a huge week for Jeremy, because if he can take control of his new tribe, he has a good chance of making it to the end. But, if he is on the wrong side of a newly formed alliance, he could easily be the next to go.
12. Alec
We learned a lot about Alec this week. First, Alec hates it when people snatch things from him; especially tree mail. We also learned that Alec has been a car-washing pro since he was a little lad; in part due to his older brother's laziness. His dad wouldn't even bother to wake Drew to wash cars, because he knew, quite frankly, that Drew "wouldn't be worth a damn", so he woke Alec. (on a side note, that sounds EXACTLY like me, my brother, and my dad. And yes, I am the Drew.)
I liked Alec up until this episode, and maybe now that Drew is gone, and we don't have to listen to Alec's bro and daddy issues, I will start to like him again.
11. Reed
Reed, barely visible
I keep waiting for a breakout Reed episode, but it doesn't seem like that is going to happen. Before this episode I knew that Reed....
* Was Josh's boyfriend
* Was a Broadway performer
* Could put his leg behind his head
Now, after episode 4, I can add "Is a terrible diver" to the list.
This is basically what Reed looked like during the diving part of the Immunity Challenge...
Hopefully the tribal shake-up introduces viewers to Reed, because he seems like a nice guy that doesn't deserve to be ranked so low.
10. Wes
If Wes spoke this episode, I must have missed it. For some reason I am thinking that Wes was invisible this week because we may be in for a Wes vote off next week. With the orange tribe down in the numbers, and a tribe swap next week, Wes will be a huge target if he is separated from his alliance members. Hopefully, we get at least one more awkward Wes-Keith moment before they part ways for good. Maybe a good-ole Louisianan alligator-wrestling-mud-match, or whatever the hell they do down there.
9. Kelley
Kelley, trying hard to pretend like she is not listening to her tribe mates conspire to vote her off.
We finally got to know Kelley this week, and while I liked her a little more when I didn't know her, she does still have potential. We saw a lot of eye rolling and looks of inferiority from Kelley this week, but most, if not all of them were directed towards Drew, so they are to be forgiven. Hopefully Kelley will come out of next weeks episode on the same tribe as Jaclyn, so we can she the two blondies duke it out. This mud wrestling possibility is much more desirable than the aforementioned Keith-Wes mud battle.
* On a side note, the fact that she has never missed an episode of Survivor makes her 100x hotter than I already thought she was.
8. Baylor
Baylor, preparing to flash her tribe in return for her safety.
Until she is voted off or wins the game, I am going to mention every week that she has been my pick to win from episode 1. This week only solidified my bold prediction. Here is why...
Baylor is physically strong - She beats her mother Immunity Challenges. This week she swam out to a ring and untied it faster than her mother. Granted her mother was busy stuffing her breasts back into her bathing suit, but Baylor still beat her, nevertheless. And Baylor didn't even have to fake cry to make her mom feel bad.
Baylor gets what she wants - Baylor has made the vote go her way all season so far. And this week, so wanted the tree mail, so she snatched it from Alec, knowing how much Alec hates it when people snatch things from him. You know, because his older brother is a dick.
Probst trusts Baylor - This week Probst trusted Baylor enough to THROW the Immunity Statue at her. Baylor easily could have dropped the Idol and smashed it into pieces, or worse yet, let it plummet to the ocean floor, but, she caught it; just like Probst knew she would. Can you imagine Probst casually tossing the idol to Dale? Nope, that would never happen. Because Probst doesn't like old people.
7. Julie
Julie Angelina Jolie
Is it just me, or are Julie's lips and boobs getting bigger and bigger each week? If she makes it to the final tribal council they may need to get a camera with a wider lens. Anyway, I am excited to see Julie start playing the game by herself. What a relief it must be to have your boyfriend, who is hated by everyone, voted off. She can finally find some shade away from that spotlight she has been standing under since Rocker's identity was revealed.
6. Keith
Keith, and his words of wisdom
Keith was a complete superstar this week. After unsuccessfully searching for the immunity idol, he outwardly accused his alliance member, Jeremy, of being in possession of the idol. While the rest of the tribe was relaying this information to Jeremy, Keith decided to resume the search after realizing that maybe he wasn't "due north enough." Not only did Keith find the idol, but he scared the shit out of himself when he stumbled upon it.
5. Missy
Missy, scouting out husband #4
Highlights of Missy's week.
* We finally got a chance to see her game play, and it rivals her daughters. I would be shocked if they were not the last couple left in the game.
* Missy let it all hang out at the immunity challenge, and although her daughter edged her out, she did a fantastic job of replacing her boobs back into her top every time they popped out.
* Missy called out half of her tribe at tribal council for being selfish and lazy. That takes some guts.
This woman is good. And not afraid to tell it like it is. I am becoming a huge Missy fan, and very much look forward to a Missy/Baylor final tribal council.
4. Natalie
Natalie death glare
As I stated last week, I have a love-hate relationship with Natalie. Last week I thought she was loud and obnoxious, and this week I couldn't get enough of her. I am still standing by what I said in week 1, and think Natalie will be the driving force behind an all-girls (and maybe a few gay guys) alliance, and make it very far in the game.
Mimicking Keith at tribal council may be my favorite Natalie moment ever ("I'll tell you one thing, Jeremy got dat idol.") There is something about hearing a twenty-something year old Sri-Lankan girl imitate a fifty something year old redneck from Louisiana that I find quite amusing.
3. Josh
I'm quite curious as to find out what happens next in this Broadway play (I'm assuming) featuring Josh.
Josh was uncharacteristically invisible this week. But that didn't prevent him from delivering one of my favorite moments of the episode. After Alec finished his attempt to read the tree mail to the tribe, Josh had a puzzled look on his face and requested that he reread the mail, because he couldn't understand what the hell Alec was saying.
In general, I am looking forward to next weeks tribe swap, but Josh is the only person I'm nervous about being screwed over by the shake up. He is in a great position within his tribe now, and has been playing a near flawless game, and I will be one pissed off handsome blogger if this is what gets him voted off.
2. Jaclyn
We finally got to meet Jon's girlfriend tonight, and she did not disappoint. Jaclyn now has a new life in the game, and for the first time, I see winner potential. Not only did she almost beat challenge king Jon in the reward challenge, but she showed us that she is a strong, confident woman, capable of taking care of herself. She is sexy as hell, and from what I saw in episode 4, seems to be the perfect package. Hopefully she continue to shine, and does not fall back below the radar she has been under for 3 weeks.
1. Jon
Jon and his grappling hook
For the 4th consecutive week Jon has taken the top spot in the rankings. Do I think he is going to win this game? Hell no. Does he think he is going to win this game? I highly doubt it. But, Jon doesn't need to win the game because he is having fun, and kicking ass throughout it. Is it a coincidence that the one immunity challenge Jon sat out, is the one immunity challenge his tribe loss? Of course not. Hunahpu would have won that challenge if Jon participated, and Dale would have seen his Survivor game come to an end.
Now that Drew is out, Jon is on his own, and if the tribal swap was not happening this week, Jon would likely be joining his buddy in losers lodge. Regardless, I fear that Jon's days may be numbered, and I may soon need to find a new favorite castaway to root for.
