Weve seen a lot of strategy meltdowns onDeal or No Deal Island, but this week is downright embarrassing.
From where Im sitting, theyre already toast.
Im sorry, but are we watching a reality competition show or an episode ofFull House?
Ofcourseplayers are going to fight dirty.
Its one thing to decide someones an untrustworthy manipulator, but why tell her that to her face?
Just let her think youre cool and then stab her in the back!
Once again, this weeks challenge sent players on a long, grueling hike.
At each stopping point, players had to select a few among their ranks to leave behind.
This is where everything started to unravel for everyone not on Team Family.
The first cut was somewhat predictable: Parvati and C.K.
pushed to ditch Lete first.
Parvati knows that Lete has won the past few challenges and is gunning for her allies, and C.K.
Only Dickson stood up for his new ally, pointing out that Lete had repeatedly proved herself during challenges.
The first supposedly scary obstacle on this trail was laughable.
Maybe this is my inner Floridian talking, but who the hell is afraid of a pit of iguanas?
The answer, apparently, would be Phil.
Youd think he was Indiana Jones in a pit of asps the way he was shaking.
also got the boot, which is not very surprising considering shes been persona non grata for weeks.
But heres where things got interesting: Manganiello offered the benchwarmers a secret deal.
Heres where Lete decided to set her game on fire.
to add a couple more turds to their plate.
Its horrific etiquette, especially given that she asked him this in front of the rest of the group.
But think about it: Who the hell does this help?
Now, Letes only real alliance apart from Phil is dead in the water.
Where can she go from here?
hates her guts and loves to hold a grudge, and La Shell is far from a power player.
Worst of all, the dream of driving a wedge between Dickson and his Family is now lost.
This gave them not only automatic immunity but also the power to choose who faced the banker.
Gee, I wonder who theyd pick between her and Dickson!
Are these regular people really so ignorant as to how these games work?
Whats a serial backstabber to do?
But this, too, exposes how short-sighted non-gamers can be.
Do any of these people evenwatchreality TV?
Even here, La Shells gameplay left something to be desired.
Why not open just one more case and improve her odds, even if the offer decreased?
Its all just so silly!
With La Shell gone, only Phillip, Lete, and C.K.
remain to fight the Family and within that group, only Lete and Phillip really like each other.
Hopefully, these players wake up and realize that this is not high school.
