Survivor Update - 12/1/10
Well, the last couple of episodes have made the show a lot more exciting. My prediction was smashed a couple weeks ago when Brenda was voted off, and it appeared that the group was never going to vote NaOnka off despite her various "crimes" against the tribe (stealing food, etc.). And then last night, NaOnka quit. She just had enough and said goodbye. And amazingly, Purple Kelly quit at the same tribal council - also citing that she'd had enough and was physically and mentally unable to continue. I have to admit that Jeff Probst was beside himself... that two contestants would willingly leave the game with 28 days gone and only 11 remaining seemed to leave Jeff unable to speak. But professional that he is, Jeff was only quiet a few seconds before he unloaded on both gals. It was obvious that Jeff was upset, but his anger was minimal compared to the three other jury members (Alina, Marty and Brenda) when they discovered Kelly and NaOnka will be joining them on the jury. Yes, the quitters get to vote on who gets the million.
The best part of the episode was Holly sacrificing a reward with a meal to give the tribe a new tarp and additional rice. These items were made necessary when the group stupidly destroyed their food and shelter with a fire two episodes ago. But as Survivor goes, usually this type of sacrifice preceeds a quick exit... so Holly could be the next to go.
Anyhow, I'm going to make another prediction. Her absolutely fierce competitive nature is making me think that the winner could very well be Jane. Old gal yes, bad southern accent yes, non-typical choice for me yes, but hey, she's still there and all the "control-freaks" are gone except Sash... but he's not in control any more. As a matter of fact, he's scrambling to replace the two allies he just lost.
It's getting interesting...
