The Top 5 Things I Learned About the Castaways of Survivor: Micronesia
1. Amanda is right… If you tell three different girls the same thing, then expect them to not talk to each other, you’re an idiot. Case in point: Erik. The only guy left on the island, he was at the mercy of four women who played him like a fiddle. They even rehearsed what they were going to say (and NOT say) at Tribal Council, for goodness sake! I mean really, is he that blind to the feminine wiles? I guess so (see #3 below). Amanda is my pick for Sole Survivor.

2. Cirie takes pleasure in stirring the pot. I love how she just sat back and watched first Natalie, then Erik completely implode. And the reason I liked watching it so much? Because Cirie was having an absolute ball!
3. Erik wins the award for Dumbest Survivor Ever. He trusted Amanda and did exactly what she told him to do: send Parvati to Exile Island, and take Amanda herself on the Reward. Those two small choices sealed his fate: He couldn’t find the Hidden Immunity Idol, his “Fans” tribe mate Natalie couldn’t find it, and she was totally livid with him. Then he decides to talk about targeting Amanda AND Natalie to Cirie? Girls talk, man. Not just in the girl’s bathroom at school… All. The. Time. Then he is stupid enough to believe the girls when they tell him that if he gives up the Immunity Idol he won to save Natalie, they will all vote for Amanda. AND HE DOES! He was sent packing and the jury went nuts.
4. Natalie dodged a bullet when Erik decided to be stupid. She really got back at him by convincing him that if he gave her the Immunity Necklace, he’d sail on through to the final two. Now, I’m not fond of the girl, mind you, but she did some real slick wheeling and dealing to help orchestrate one of the best Tribal Councils ever.
5. Parvati got sent to Exile Island and didn’t even look for the Hidden Immunity Idol; she laid out and got a tan! Then, she uttered the eight words that changed the game: “What if he gave you the Immunity Necklace?” When they all wrote down Erik’s name at Tribal Council, they were simply speechless at his stupidity.
What do YOU think? Was that awesome, or what? Is this the season of the blindsides? Would you have fallen for all the lies like Erik did? Who do you think should be the Sole Survivor? Give us your Two Cents… we’ll use it to buy Erik a clue.
