Survivor: Guatemala Thoughts: Week 5 “The Misadventures of a Frat Boy...."

Note: This is thoughts for last weeks episode, this weeks should be up this weekend.

OK, yeah, I know. It’s like a half hour before this weeks episode, and I’m posting my thoughts now. Well, yep, I’ve been busy, distracted, lazy, apathetic, and so many other states of being that you can choose which one that you think applies the most, based on you perspective of me. So have fun.

Being it’s so late, I’m just going to make some quick observations. Sort of like, Bob’s Thought, the cliff notes.

Well, maybe I need to take my thoughts back on the whole switch scenario. While,I still stand by my thoughts that switches more often than not, potentially create more predictability, well, maybe that’s only if I make the assumption that Survivor’s will act logically. Now, I understand that Blake was annoying, and probably needed to go soon, but, annoying isn’t the best reason to vote someone off at this stage of the game. And yes, while tribal loyalties aren’t as important as some make them out to be, if you do have an advantage, use it. Voting off Blake was a bit premature, on the parts of Danni, and Bobbi Jon, unless the formulated some sort of deal or alliance with Amy, Brian and Gary. Just doing it because he’s a horn dog, frat boy isn’t the smartest thing in the world.

Well, quickly Winner of the Week will go to Brian. Brian actually became to most interesting Survivor left in the game this week. He is amusing, and cunning. His little, Bate Blake game was very, very amusing. He managed to turn a pretty bad situation, into a positive. For Weasel of the Week, I finally have to break down and give it to Stephenie. I have had a decent whine tolerance level when it comes to her, but it is the same thing over and over and it’s time for her to stop whining and do something. Yes, her tribe has been unlucky and ill prepared, and often outmatched. But she needs to stop viewing herself as above her tribe.

I am so happy to say goodbye to Blake. Yeah, maybe it wasn’t the smartest strategy, but they sure did do the viewers a service. Outside of surviving a horrid Triffid attack, basically, the guy was a dope. Now, maybe I should cut him some slack, but I think most people who see their tribe mates praying and talking about God, should realize that there stories about Ms. Double D’s and the Adventures of Fratboy may not go over well. Time and place, dude. Time and Place.

I found Judd and Cindy’s confrontation sort of interesting. I think Judd handled it all wrong. He seems to not have that tactful ability to keep his thought to himself. Yet, I sort of understand his point. It’s easy to complain about someone else performance, and talk about how you could have done it better (although I don’t believe that what SHE actually said, but I believe others may have made those comments) yet it does nothing. Maybe it’s time you stepped up and did something. Now, I understand his feeling that way. I don’t think he should have said it that way, and in that situation. I like Judd, but he needs to work on his social skills.

That’s all I really have time for, but, I think this week’s episode will be the most important episode of the season.
