BBB 2: Episode 9

This was an insanely frustrating episode, and it's only in part because we lost one of our players. I think it just proves that this really is one of the dumbest casts ever on Survivor. We start with Scot, Jason & Tai thinking that sabotaging the camp is a winning strategy. And we finish with a female alliance that immediately cannibalizes itself even though the larger threat is clearly Scot/Jason/Tai with 2 idols rather than loony Debbie. Sigh. I just hope they have another all-star season soon.


The Teams:

Bagdrea "Beautiful Mind" - 79 points
  1. Caleb (6 pts)
  2. Tai (29 pts)
  3. Nick (38 pts)
  4. Joe (6 pts)
MoonBee "Dairy Kings" - 63 points
  1. Neal (23 pts)
  2. Julia (22 pts)
  3. Scot (9 pts)
  4. Aubry (9 pts)
Michal & Ben "Cock of the Walk" - 61 points
  1. Anna (9 pts)
  2. Jason (16 pts)
  3. Peter (9 pts)
  4. Debbie (27 pts)
Doug & Bri "She-Ra" - 19 points
  1. Liz (-2 pts)
  2. Jenny (-6 pts)
  3. Michele (18 pts)
  4. Cydney (9 pts)

Dreg: Alecia - 0 points


Power Rankings:

1. Beautiful Mind - If Tai sticks with his alliance & they are foolish enough to go to final tribal with him he has a phenomenal chance of winning this season. Joe is baggage, but he's baggage who poses no threat & will get a decent amount of jury points in the end.

2. Dairy Kings - they have 3 players left, none of them awesome, but none of them are super crappy either.... Yes, I said that last week. It's the same story this week, though & I honestly have nothing to add.

3. Cock of the Walk - Honestly, Jason could win this whole thing. I think his alliance will make it to the end because the others will be too dumb & gutless to take them out. And if it's Jason, Scot & Julia in the finale, then I think most votes will go to Jason.

4. She-Ra - Moon is right, I have no respect for Michelle. If anyone can salvage the disaster that was this last episode, it's going to be Cydney, but I think it's a long shot considering the dregs she has to work with.


Player Rankings:

  1. Tai
  2. Jason
  3. Cydney
  4. Julia
  5. Aubry
  6. Scot
  7. Joe
  8. Michele

Douche of the Week:

Definitely Scot. It's like he knows about Douche of the Week and did everything in his power to win it this week.

Julia might fool us all.

Scot for DoW, best and bully of the week too.

Did Scot and Jason forget that at the end of this game they must garner votes from their tribemates?

I was really hoping someone would point out that for all their bluster about strategy and mental warfare what really happened is they had a tantrum. Grown men acting like wittle kids. Not surprising given what we've seen from these ass hats so far, but frustrating that no one was willing to call them out for their childish antics.

Shame on you, Tai, for caving into peer pressure and going along with those bullies.

DoW goes to the Y chromosome. I'll pick Scot as it's representative.

Scot easily gets my DoW vote too.

IF, employing the sabotage strategy (and this is a big "IF" because it's a stupid strategy) then do it like Tai, under the cover of darkness, where there is at least a shadow of a doubt on who did it.

Right now, my money is on Tai for overall winner.

Debbie had the right strategy, she was just too forceful and confident. A little humility would have gone a long way for her. Just not sure it is in her personality. She was very humble in her exit interview though. And I can't wait for her jury questions.

A couple more Debbie-isms for her departure:

- She has crossed the point of no return - on several occasions.
- Her two cents are worth $37.54.
- The police often question her, just because they find her interesting
- She once challenged her own reflection to a staring contest and on the third day, she won.
- Some say she found the fountain of youth but didn't drink, because she wasn't thirsty.
- She's on the upgrade list for flights she hasn't even checked into.
- She once warned a psychic.

Good game, Debbie.

Scot DoW. Possible make-or-break episode coming up for the MoonBee. And DouBri ain't dead yet.
