Brett won yet another immunity challenge, earning a spot in the final four. Part of the challenge where Brett’s abilities really shine has to do with assembling puzzles. In this case, that came in handy during the last part of the challenge. Unfortunately, assembling puzzle pieces was also Jaison’s downfall, who wasn’t even close to finishing the puzzle. Puzzle pieces – definitely not one of Jaison’s strengths. When it came to the second last tribal council, the remaining survivors voted off Jaison -- leaving him blindsided and the next one to take a seat on the jury.
The next and last immunity challenge focused on balance and determination. The players had to add length to a pole (adding pieces to it) while balancing a statue atop the first piece of the pole. When the statue fell over then it was game over for the player. Brett and Russell came down to a final head-to-head challenge with their statues balancing on top of 7 foot poles. Alas, Brett’s winning streak came to an end as his statue tumbled to the ground before Russell's. Although Russell actually expressed a dilemma in deciding between the two guys (Mick or Brett), he ended up picking off Brett in the end; keeping Mick in the final three. I think Natalie may have helped convince Russell at Tribal council that he wouldn’t have a chance of getting any votes from the jury going up against Brett.
Unfortunately Mick made a bit of a mistake in his opening statement that cost him getting votes from the jury. The mistake? Never mention anything about being as honest as possible in the game. The whole point of the game is outwitting and outplaying people, which it’s sad to say, usually requires defying or lying to people. Natalie’s opening statement went fairly well. She didn’t mention anything about honesty or integrity; instead she focused on the fact that people would underestimate her, which they did.
One thing I’ve noticed about Survivor throughout the years is that you can always count on at least one jury member to spew out some nonsensical rant. Sometimes they try to pose the rant as a question, but really it’s not a question. In this cycle of the show, both Eric and Shambo fulfilled the nonsensical rambling quota. Something about Eric made me think he might cry. I think that boy’s mind got fractured somewhere along the line. Too much coconut, perhaps? I don’t know. Whatever it is, he’s a tad crazy. Need I say that Shambo is crazy? Ok. I’ll say it one more time: that woman is crazy something fierce. Thankfully, in the end Natalie took the prize as the chosen Survivor. It would’ve been nice if Mick got the prize, but I’m satisfied that Natalie received the majority of votes. Anyone watching could see that Russell was clearly upset about that decision. Then again, he got so cocky in the end that he really convinced himself that the title was his. Too bad so sad for Russell; this time the bully didn’t win.
Congratulations Natalie!! Well done!!
The Bachelor is starting up soon, so more drama to look forward to in the new year. All new crazy women aching to date the same guy simultaneously … tell me there’s not going to be any delusional women in that scene.
