Love that they brought the food eating challenge back. If the definition of "good television" is when a show gets you physically & emotionally invested in what's going on, then I have to call this good TV. I was gagging right alongside the people who were actually eating those insects! Will they do a survivor auction too this season? Am I hoping for too much?
Vytas and Tina both came off as big train wrecks this episode, and I'm wondering how much of that was calculated or not. I feel like Tina's outburst at the beginning was certainly not planned, but perhaps everything she did afterwards was to draw attention away from her daughter. And Vytas... well I thought he was one of the smartest guys left, but that bitter diatrbie at tribal council just seemed like the nail on the coffin for both him & Aras.
The Teams:
51st State: 71 pts
1. Aras (28 pts)
4. Caleb (15 pts)
5. Laura M. (25 pts)
AhhhhFUCKthat: 67.5 pts
4. Gervase (28 pts)
5. Ciera (13 pts)
MooMe: 65.5 pts
1. Vytas (11 pts)
2. Tyson (33 pts)
3. Monica (20 pts)
1. Katie (11 pts)
2. Hayden (15 pts)
5. Tina (16 pts)
Power Rankings:
1. MooMe - Vytas is gone but Tyson stands strong. With the amount of attention he's getting now, do you think anyone will plan a blindside? It seems like the obvious next play - after all, ANYONE could beat Monica & Katie at final tribal - but this seems like the kind of group that won't bother thinking that far ahead.
2. 51st State - Right now I think Aras is favored to get back in the game over Vytas & Tina (who is probably only capable of beating either of them in a game of chance), and may find himself in the position of "crucial swing vote" when he gets back. There's life yet for this team, though previews of next week don't bode well for Laura M.
3. AhhhhFUCKthat - Ciera may be the most interesting person left in the game. I'm looking forward to her potential back-stabbing of her own mother. I think she's playing the game the best that she can, considering the hand she's been dealt. Hope she gets far, but it'll be a tough road ahead to really have a chance to win. Gervas is pretty comfortable right now, but I don't see him beating Tyson in final tribal.
4. Mind Under Matter - They're falling to pieces, and not really worth thinking about. I'd like to see Katie start selling herself as something that other people could beat, but I imagine instead she'll just fade away with little fuss. Hayden needs to start playing the game harder. You can only lay low for so long in this game. Now is the time to start making moves.
Douche of the Week:
Tina.

This could be a tight race to the end considering less than 20 points separate 1st from 4th and every team has 2 players out of the final 8 (not counting RI). Lot's of possibilities.
I think this is because of the lack of skill overall that this season's contestants have (as Pickett mentioned in her last post). This is not a "skilled Survivor player" season. This is a "make one plan and then close your eyes, plug your ears, and make noises like a crazy person until the ride stops" season. We're basically watching NASCAR for the crashes at this point. When Tyson wields power over all as easily as he has, that says something.
My DoW for this week is Katie. Her realization that she actually has to start doing some stuff this late in the game is face palm worthy. At least Tina finally told her to get her ass in gear.
For the record, my DoW for last week would have been Jeff Probst. Aras was a good vote and I understand the reasoning of all the voters last week. My reasoning is for the comments Jeff made about the women of RI hanging from "the pole". Jeff, you have been doing this a long time. I thought you were above commentary like that...
Lol Doug, love it.
Gonna go Vytas for DoW. Was sad to see him be so caustic after everything he's been through. He got as far as he did with relentless positivity and charisma and just seemed to run out of gas.
But the brothers aren't dead yet. In fact, they'd be two of the only players who might have hope of beating Tyson in a jury vote. As Aras said, cheeseburgers aren't in their stomachs just yet.
Can our team be Cheeseburgers in Stomachs?
I agree with Michal, Tina for DoW
I'm voting for Vytas for DOW. He's just a cynical, manipulative guy who is really mean to his younger brother. All his involvement with Zen and meditation does not seem to have made him a truly more centered, better person. I can't remember exactly what he did in that particular episode, but I remember saying, DOW for sure!
