Last week we said goodbye to Sass Master J, and, well, I just don't know what to do with myself now. With Jeremy gone, who's going to give me my shady eye rolls and snarky asides? Who?! Wes, probably; dude's a total chatterbox. Lol jk, have we heard more than five words out of that guy this whole season? Like, my goodness, sing out, Louise! Alright, enough with the jokes. But I really am going to miss Jeremy and his unwavering dedication to the sassy cause. I guess I understand why they voted him out...Well, no, actually, I don't. But! Ultimately, my opinion means nothing. So good job, Huyopa. You, er, saw a threat, and you, um, got rid of it. Kudos to you. Ten points to Gryffindor.
No more Josh, no more Jeremy. J and J were both perceived as threats in the game, and with them now sipping Mai Tais in Ponderosa, the targets are going to be all loosey goosey. Who the heck will be going home next? CBS can pretty conidently advertise each episode as #shocking from here on out, I think, because just about anybody could go home at any time, as far as I'm concerned. None of the remaining contestants stands out as particularly stellar to me. I want somebody to take charge here, play puppet master, really fight for that million dollars. I can't see somebody like Keith or Alec stepping up to the plate that way. Even Natalie, who I know has some serious spunk and chutzpah, has been weirdly reserved most of this game. The only remaining Survivor that shows any potential to me is Reed. I'm still waiting on him to make his big move. Maybe tonight's finally the night. He showed tiny glimmers of promise last week, so now I'm just waiting on the execution.
What do you think? With J Squared out of the game, who'll be on the block next? Do you expect another #blindside at Tribal Council tonight?
8:01 Woohoo, Natalie's finally making moves! Well, okay, I won't get ahead of myself here, but it's nice to see her taking some intiative now that Jeremy's gone. Although sneaking out in the middle of the night to dig around for hidden idols may not be the best idea, it's certainly something. Really, there's, like, wildlife out there, Nat. Be careful.
8:07 Oh, really, Jeff? Puzzle pieces? You don't say. I feel like if you ever wanted to try out for this show, there are only three things you absolutely hundred percent need to know how to do. Literally only three. Swim. Make fire. And put together a damn puzzle.Aw, look at Reed giving up his reward to Missy. That's nice. Or is it, dun dun dun, #strategy? Looking at his fellow losers, ie, Natalie and Baylor, I'm going to assume it's more of the latter. Oh yup, suspicions confirmed. Jon's gotta go, and Reed needs some help to make it happen.
8:17 Here we go. Time for Survivor's good deed of the season. Woah, this kid eyeing Jon's ice cream is stealing the show. What a cutie. Speaking of, I always feel like these rewards have to be particularly cool for the survivors because it lets them interact with, y'know, other people. They've gotta get a little sick of the same faces day after day on the island, no?
Reed's setting the wheels in motion, and I like it. Jon seems like a nice guy and everything, but he's probably the biggest remaining threat, so it'd at least be a little exciting to see him go. Sorry, dude; sometimes sacrifices need to be made for the sake of reality. Reality TV is totally still reality, right? Reality-ish? Oh yay, Natalie found the idol! Oh no, she wants to get rid of Reed! I'm conflicted!8:29 A classic endurance challenge. Nice.
"#TEMPTING." OH MY GOSH, CBS, YOU ARE RIDICULOUS. Woah, okay, Jon, simmer down. I'm pretty sure I heard that "snickers" cry from here. And I'm in New York. And technically like months into the future, depending on when this was filmed. Wait, and Baylor and Jaclyn just about threw themselves off their thingamajigs...for a chocolate chip cookie. Listen, I don't care how #tempted I am, I don't give up on an immunity comp unless I'm actually dying. But that's just me. The girl who can't even swing across monkey bars.
Okay, down to Natalie and Reed. This is really do or die for Reed. If he doesn't win this comp...I don't know, Natalie's making me nervous now. Wow, I can't believe how long these endurance challenges go on for. Like, what do you even do for that long? Do you...like...chat? Sing songs? What do you do?? I can't believe Natalie just gave up like that. I guess her campaign against Reed wasn't that serious. Oh well. Crisis averted. Yay Reed.8:47 I can't believe with so many idols floating around, none have actually been used yet. It doesn't sound like one will be used tonight, which is weird to me. If I were Jon, I would not feel confident at all. Ew, yeah, especially right now at this exact moment. What's going on here? People whispering to each other, nods of assurances, shrugs of dissention. What a hodgepodge of alliances. Are there even alliances this season? I can't keep anything straight. Each tribal council is so weird to watch for exactly this reason. Once again, I have no idea who's going home tonight. But I guess it won't be Jon! Definitely a smart move to play that idol. I feel like that was a real spur of the moment decsion and--WAIT, Keith's playing his too? Oh, here go, things are getting interesting. If I were Natalie, I'd feel pretty left out.
This is hilarious. Basically nobody's votes count tonight. What a joke. Poor Wes!!! Wow, I actually feel really bad. Going out on two filler votes. That really stinks, and he probably didn't see it coming at all. Gosh. Welp. I'll say it again: #blindsided.How many more surprises can you take this season? Will Reed's plan to blindside Jon come back to bite him next week?
