Re: Survivor: One World -- "Go Out With a Bang" -- 4/11/12
Kim's running the show all by herself and her alliance only looks smart when standing behind her. Chelsea is just as dumb as Jay and Kat (at least when it comes to Survivor). Just look at how many times she has opened her mouth at camp or tribal and nearly buried her alliance. She would have been out a long time ago had she not stumbled into the alliance on the first day. I can't comment too much on Sabrina because we haven't really seen much of her since the first couple of episodes.
The only people really playing the game are Kim and Troy...and Kim ending up winning the battle last week. She convinced Troy to vote out Mike and now she can pick and choose who she wants to go home and when. I can't imagine anyone but Kim winning at this point.

No guy deserves a win though. Even Troyzan, since he's done his fair share of dumbass things (starting with going along with the tribal voluntary immunity refusal). Leif sneaking through to the end would be hilarious though - the ultimate under the radar gameplay (in more ways than one
)

I wouldn't exactly call Kim and Troy intelligent; they just look like geniuses compared to the others. Honestly, in a different season Kim would be an average to slightly above-average player and Troy would be gone already.

I dvr a show, even when I'm watching them, in case I need to take a call or my girls need me for more than a minute and if that happens, I always go back and watch what I missed. That happened last night before the immunity challenge and I got back just in time to see the votes announced. I just deleted the show after that. Just didn't care about what I missed.
I don't think it's a terrible season, but the plethora of eye candy still left (imho) probably clouds my judgment a bit.

If Kim wins this season I think the case could be made for her performance as the greatest in Survivor history. It's one thing for people with numbers advantages to pick off another tribe, then just convince the 1-2 outsiders on their original tribe to stick with them until it's to late and position themselves to the end. In Kim's case it seems she has almost the entire f12 thinking they will go to the end with her. The game has never had someone dominate this way in a season with tribal shuffles.

Most sad thing about the women dominating, is we don't see them all cleaned up and pretty on the jury.

Yeah, does that mean Jeff constantly travels back and forth from the States to the location during a season? I mean, if he's there he may as well show up for the challenge. Now it makes me think he's not always staying with the production crew.

I would bet he has an office set up at the location. Maybe he needs a whole day here and there to work on his other projects.

When they do challenges without Jeff hosting them, it comes off like Big Brother. All they need are degrading costumes.

Voluntarily giving up group immunity to go to Tribal council and vote off one of their own to reduce their numbers ahead of the merge. Mike and Jay probably have a slight excuse since they were in the minority of the group but the rest of them were complete morans. There was no working with these people with Tarzan being so random and Troy being one of the ones who wanted to go to tribal. This season has been terrible between the lame premise to the weak challenges to the randomness from the men. I think it's time to rest this show and only do 1 per year.

My personal rankings at this point.......
1. Kim
2. Sabrina
3. Chelsea
4. Troy
5. Alicia
6. Kat
7. Christina
8. Tarzan
9. Lief
And I don't necessarily think this has been a bad cast. I just think some of the better players have been sent packing already. I think if you replace the 3 guys still around with Colton, Mike, and Jonas and switch Christina and Monica you'd have a pretty solid final 9.

In a Jay exit interview, I heard that it was Monica's (remember her ... the NFL wife) left-behind blouse that Tarzan was wearing. Why he was wearing it is another question
