Let's call last night's episode "I Am Woman, hear me roar!" After losing every challenge prior to last night, the ladies kicked butt and won the reward challenge and the immunity challenge.
The reward challenge was a Survivor variation of the Memory Game, and the gals smoked the guys 5-0. It wasn't even close. Even Kat, who took several tries to arrange her objects in the same order as the display, beat her opponent. So the ladies received a canoe and fishing equipment. Surprisingly, they got weird about loaning the canoe to the guys even though it seems to me the guys have helped the women out on several occasions.
In the immunity challenge the men had a huge lead, exposing the women's big weakness again (anything that requires teamwork and the women are lost), but when it came to the thinking/puzzle part of the challenge, the men faltered and fell. Nice comeback girls!
And then the games began... okay, remember we have two distinct alliances among the men; the four muscle guys versus the five weird/other guys. The muscle is led by Matt (see picture) who wants everyone to take him seriously, the others are led by Colton who is showing signs of becoming a tyrant. I'm seriously dis-liking Colton. For a guy who contributes absolutely zero around camp or in challenges, he is becoming the gay version of Russell Hantz. So anyway, Matt finally seems to have figured out an alliance of four on a tribe of nine may not be a great idea, so he spends his time establishing a new alliance with Troyzan. Troyzan agrees with Matt 100%, and then tells the camera that "it wouldn't be Survivor without lying".
Uh oh Matt... looks like you weren't in control after all, bye bye. Strange too, because it appeared that the other guys in his muscle alliance voted for him too. He did not leave the tribal council gracefully either.
Finally it appears that this edition of Survivor is getting good!
