Survivor - 5/4/11


BLINDSIDE! I was sure it would happen, and it did... Boston Rob secretly rallied his tribe to turn on Andrea (see photo) - sending her to Redemption Island. Personally, I think Rob's only reason was his usual pettiness after seeing her nearly beat him in a very physical immunity challenge. Rob won, but he was barely able to walk at the end... baby. Andrea proved she's a tough lady... hey, she's another Wisconsinite! She's a Theater/Communications major at Stevens Point and graduated high school in Random Lake! She's definitely tough enough to work herself back from Redemption Island... and that part is gonna be soon because the show finale is scheduled for Sunday, May 15th... just two nights left!
A couple of things worth re-capping. First, the elimination challenge on Redemption saw Ralph get the boot for good. We also got to see Mike (the winner on Redemption) trade a visit with his mother to allow the six remaining Ometepe's to spend time with their family members... all that courtesy of the Ten Commandments and the "love thy brother" interpretation. Plus Matt survived the duel as well.
So who are you picking to win? At this point I'm actually leaning towards Grant... he just seems to be strong enough, popular enough, and if he can avoid a blindside from Rob... well, who knows?
