Episode 25.4

I predict that this will be the last episode with three tribes and the next episode will see them dissolved into two tribes. This is around the point the tribal dissolve happened in Survivor All Stars so it might happen now this season. How could it last longer in the game anyways? Also, in case you are wondering why it takes so long to update my blog, I don't always have that much free time to publish these blog posts. My online life must be very confusing. I have five different email addresses. So I hope that this will be a good blog post in the end and hopefully you will see it very soon. Also, Jeff Probst, if you are reading this, I'm glad that you responded to a tweet of mine. I watch your talk show whenever I can and normally don't get tweets from famous people like you. Do you read my blog as well? Can you follow me on twitter? I know this is highly unlikely as I'm merely a Survivor fan and wanna be contestant blogging about other people who actually have the guts to play the game. I'm not even sure that I could pass the physical that I'm sure all contestants go through before being on the show. But it doesn't matter if I'm never a contestant. In fact, I'd probably never want to play a game that seems less dangerous to the viewers than it actually is to the contestants. I do not believe that Survivor is scripted in any way shape or form (that would be illegal). I do, however, guess that the producers are required to input whatever decisions they need to make when the game goes wrong. But I don't believe that they butt in frequently. Also, to the KPLR-11 fans in St. Louis: were you annoyed by the obvious edit in the Jeff Probst show that I noticed? (They were talking about circumcision in the show and if women can feel a difference during sex between those men who have been circumcised and those who haven't.) I should follow them (KPLR) on twitter, if they have an account. But enough of my ramblings. I need to talk about the show Survivor.

In the first segment of the show, Matsing is having trouble with their fire. Everything is wet and the tribe of three is doing horribly. I still wonder what Denise knows about sex that I am absolutely clueless about. What is a sex therapist anyways? Do I even want to know? But back to the game. Russell is still very bummed out that he isn't put on the majority tribe like he was last time in Samoa and his quote, "I almost died for the game the first time," is becoming a favorite by him.

In the second segment of the show, the yellow tribe had a bit of turmoil created by the people on the tribe. Two people knew about the clue to the idol. One of them found it and shared it with someone else. The man Abby shared it with just happened to place a clue in the tribe thing and Abby was surprised when her tribemate, who already knew about the clue, read it again as if she didn't know about it already. The red tribe is slowly crumbling and a war of the genders might happen soon.

In the third segment of the show, Malcolm talked about how he didn't like Russell. What he said was very accurate. Russell isn't self-aware of anything in the game. Russell even pointed out a funny moment. It makes me convinced that this show has the best editing of any and all TV show on television right now. Meanwhile, his tribemates are getting suspicious of Russell and the fact that he may or may not have an idol, which we now that he doesn't yet. I don't know if anyone on this tribe is smart enough to get it. On Tandang, Pete was talking about the trouble he has caused on the show with the idol clue and driving a wedge between RC and Abby. RC doesn't know what happened regarding the clue. My family thinks that Lisa would have gotten out first if the Tandang tribe had gone to tribal council first.

In the fourth segment of the show, the immunity challenge was played and sexism was shown when the tribes that could sit out the women made them all sit out. The only woman in the challenge is from Matsing. They are actually in the lead and if they don't win, it will be a problem for anyone in the show. Denise is a better man than the men on Matsing are. It looks like the red tribe will lose, but it is impossible to tell with their incredibly good editing. The yellow tribe won the challenge. The red tribe came in second. The poor Matsing tribe will go to tribal council again. Russell had an outburst after the challenge. I'd be surprised if Russell made it through the tribal council. I wonder what tweets he has about this moment. Hopefully, nobody will become the first Survivor contestant to be expelled from the game. That's never happened and I hope that it never will.

In the fifth segment of the show, there was a sentimental moment shown with Russell who was bullied as a child. I predict that the two surviving members of the tribe will have to join the other two tribes by some means or form that the producers have probably already decided in advance. This season could come up with problems like in the tenth season I have already blogged about. There could be a three way tie and if no idol makes its way into the game on this tribe at this meeting. I don't know if the new members would be given automatic immunity on their new tribes (should that happen) or if that wouldn't be deemed fair to the contestants on that tribe. I've watched this game enough to know that there is always something that happens each season that has never happened before in Survivor history. A shutout like this hasn't happened since the tenth season and the tenth season started with two tribes and not three. This is the first tribe of three since Survivor: Panama, excluding the official final threes in the games history. The person voted out of the game was Russell, who was never voted out before. If there is some kind of twist.

In the preview of the next episode: someone might be medically evacuated and the tribe of two struggles. The red tribe might be the one losing a member that way. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
