Survivor 17 (I know!) started this evening and, for the first time, was shown in High Definition. I was really excited about that until I remembered we don’t have anything highly defined around here. I did notice that it had a slightly different look about it; a bit more National Geographic. Anyway, it was a fun “I don’t know any of these people so I don’t care yet” kind of episode. So what did I learn? Let me tell you...

ReplyDeleteThe Top 18 Things I Learned About the Castaways of Survivor: Gabon
1. Ace [Kota] is the tribe yoga instructor.
2. Bob [Kota] is a physics teacher. Like I couldn’t guess that one. But the coolest thing? He wears his bow tie to the challenges. Awesome.
3. Charlie [Kota] is sweet on Marcus. Too bad Marcus is straight. Can’t win ’em all, so they settle on an alliance.
4. Corrine [Kota] said what might be the most honest thing ever on Survivor: “I’m gonna be a total bitch… and I’m gonna own it.” Good for her.
5. Crystal [Fang], and Olympic Gold Medalist (seriously), caught worms for baiting fish. That’s all I remember.
6. Dan [Fang] was the first sent to Exile Island, which really isn’t an island. More like a hut next to a pond.
7. Danny “GC” [Fang], winner of the first Individual Immunity Idol, was elected leader of his tribe. He quit the next day. So much for impressing me.
8. Gillian [Fang], a nurse, couldn’t get on people’s nerves fast enough, what with all the over-happiness and talk about elephant dung. That and, to quote Michelle, she was about a hundred years old. She was voted off second.
9. Jacquie [Kota] is blonde and an athlete. That’s all I got.
10. Jessica “Sugar” [Kota] is a pin-up model. That, too, is all I remember.
11. Kelly [Kota]… I have no memory of her.
12. Ken [Fang] is a professional gamer who might struggle with the social part of the game. Who am I kidding? “Struggle” is putting it lightly.
13. Marcus [Kota], winner of the second Individual Immunity Idol, solidified an alliance with Charlie, Corrine, and Jacquie.
14. Matty [Fang] looks like that young blonde professional dancer on “Dancing with the Stars.” Anyone with me?
15. Michelle [Fang], the first person voted off this season, was a mean chick who complained a lot.
16. Paloma [Kota] sat out of the second Immunity Challenge. Way to make a mark.
17. Randy [Fang] is a wedding videographer who hates weddings and got four stitches in his noggin the very first night.
18. Susie [Fang] left no impression on me.
