Re: Survivor: Samoa - 11/05/09
I'll admit i haven't watched every season of survivor, but I have watched most.
I don't remember another season where 3 very attractive women have made it this far in the game. Monica (who's my favorite and i grow more in love with every show), Kelly, and Natalie are making this season fun to watch.
Btw, lets not forget Ashley and Marisa (who i can't wait to see at the reunion). This season hit the spot for me.

I was also surprised that Russel did not implement a backup plan in case Laura won immunity. I think he was unprepared for the shift from the 2 tribe game, where your voting plans will work no matter what, they may just be delayed if your team wins immunity, to the single game where you MUST have a backup plan if you are strategizing before the immunity challenge. It will be interesting to see if he can learn from this week and add the backup plan to his strategy.
This was the best episode so far this season. I loved the complete chaos that occured after the IC. I think this is partially due to merging with so many people (12 with an enormous Galu vs Foa Foa lead), its usually at 9 or 10 right? Hopfully these dynamics will keep the game just as interesting for the rest of the season.

It has varied, but it's almost always at 10 or fewer. This may be the largest merge they've ever had. And I was surprised they said the jury started last night. That should make this the largest jury also--of 9.

Fiji and Cook Islands had a jury of 9. But this is the largest merge.

Edit: wasn't there a scene where someone told her people were voting for Eric and she went 'who's Eric? oh our Eric?!'

CBS likes to use misdirection to keep the audience guessing. It is quite possible that Russell is not going so the episode ends up being a big surprise.
I've also noticed that there has never been one single vote that was a lockin for someone. CBS always shows some footage that makes you think it could be someone else going home.
It's not over till it's over. Russell could win immunity or something else shifts the game. I wouldn't have predicted Eric. He seemed pretty secure.

While a backup plan is always a good idea, in a 12 person merge with individual immunity the norm, Laura winning immunity would be quite the long shot. Only when competing against the other women does she actually look like a strong competitor.

That was such a stupidly random challenge. Points should have been based on how far you hit the ball and there shouldn't have been an out of bounds at the back. That should have been worth the most points.

I answered "CBS wouldn't have wasted all that time and editing showing how smoothly the Laura plan came to be...not with more than a half hour left in the show. And they sure as hell wouldn't show us the guaranteed outcome of TC with so much time left".
Funny how you become tuned into the whole editing process after watching awhile. Course I didn't see the Erik thing coming...but again, the editing made him out to be quite the dick in TC...and we know what that usually means.

It was the editing (showing so much of setting her up for the downfall) and when I saw the women were competing against each other. The way it seemed etched in stone that Laura would get the axe. I started thinking I'll bet she wins immunity and screws up that plan.

Yes. She did say "Who's Eric? Our Eric?" I forgot who told her, but it's a classic example of how out of the loop she is. She didn't warn Eric and still voted with him for Jaison.

I would much rather challenge be based on skill and touch, like it was, than purely on who is the strongest.
