No one has ever wanted the title more.
No one has ever tried harder to piss off more players at once.
And yet somehow hes not even close.
Instead, weve spent the past several weeks watching C.K.
bravely pioneer new ways to make an entire beach full of people hate her guts.
Unlike Dr. Will, whose villainy is largely a tactical position, C.K.
seems to genuinely think shes a good player, both in terms of skill and intention.
Unless the players who hate her seriously lose focus, shes already dead in the water.
We left off on a cliffhanger last week as C.K.
faced the banker to redeem herself for cheating during the challenge.
Because she can never be trusted, C.K.
This sucks in more ways than one.
On her way out, Seychelle reminded us exactly what well be missing with an incredible takedown.
Lete might be ready to eat C.K.
The only person who likes what C.K.
Meanwhile, Dr. Will continues to think C.K.
is a hubristic joke, and Phil (who got so mad at C.K.
This time, he says, hell get on a team with C.K.
and/or some Family members, tank the mission, and leave the group vulnerable to elimination.
recruits David, Dickson, and Will.
Lete works strategically to secure as many high-value cases as possible.
Both she and C.K.
send their first runners (Parvati and David, respectively) for the highest-value case: $2.5 million.
In round two, they do the same, sending Dr. Will and Phillip for the $2.25 million.
Dr. Will isnt convinced C.K.
But the third round is when things really get spicy.
You knew you justknew that C.K.
would give Dickson the no-value case.
stuck Dickson with it just in case it could wind up mattering.
She has, after all, been extremely outspoken about hating his guts.
In the end, Team C.K.
must have seen coming all along.
We already know that she hates Team FamilyandDr.
Will, so why did she choose them and only them for her team?
By throwing the game and securing immunity for herself, she guaranteed that someone she hates will be eliminated.
If I had been any of them, Id be running for any caseexceptthe ones she chooses.
At least then youd have a shot of taking the team down together without handing her immunity.
But, hell, what do I know?
This time, David decides its his turn to take the game into his own hands.
I will go to my grave wondering why anyone believed that obvious lie.
Will knows he has won something but cant figure out what.
But whatever, I guess.
Apparently, anyone who isnt an obvious traitor like C.K.
If only he brought this playful energy to the rest of the game!
Some players are predictable in a good way, and this week David was one of them.
Of course he eliminated Dr. Will.
By sticking with his crew, David has kept himself insulated and proven that his allies can trust him.
Letes only remaining ally in this game is Phillip.
No one wants to play with C.K.
(for now, at least), and La Shell remains a free agent.
If I were David or Lete, Id be looking to bring La Shell into the fold.
Is Dr. Willreallydone with reality-TV competitions, as he said?
David might be thrilled that he has retired Dr.
Evil, but Im not convinced.
Then again, I must also admit that I had Dr. Will at No.
3 last week, so truly what do I know?
Im just gonna go bury my head in the sand.
