What are these people even doing?
There is no strategy, no alliances, and I cant believe I have to say this no direction.
I never want to hear about the Q Skirt or honestly about Q ever again.
(That last joke is for the olds.)
After surviving that dreadful tribal council, Q says, I guess Im too hard to kill right now.
No one ever wanted to get rid of him, even when he told them to.
Thats how little power Q has in this game; he cant even get people to vote forhim.
The first is Tiff, who says, You did all this because you couldnt get your way?
The answer to all of these questions is: Yaaaaaaas, mama.
The second is the slightly more eloquent Ben, saying, This does not rock.
Finally, the right way to do it because it leaves nothing to chance.
Ben selects Tiff and Kenzie, who sign on immediately because they want nothing to do with Q.
Hunter selects Charlie and Maria, who look more and more like twosomes each day.
That leaves Q, Venus, and Liz as the misfits team.
The Misfits onJem and the Hologramsalways had the best songs.
(Also, remember Jem?)
What is up with Jeff trying to bring his personality to the game suddenly?
Maybe Jeff should take hosting cues from the Lacheys onLove Is Blind.
Anyway, it turns out Jeff is wrong and they arent the first team out.
Theres a final showdown between Charlie and Hunter for immunity and also for the whitest person on television.
The Swiftie or the REI obsessive and scrapbooking enthusiast?
Charlie wins both the immunity challenge and a symbolic loaf of Wonder Bread.
These are both good choices.
However, everyone now knows that Tiff has an idol.
She approaches Ben, Maria, Charlie, and Hunter about this idea, and they seem down.
Kenzie, why you gonna do that to your girl?
This brings me to the latest scourge of the newSurvivor: Everyones worried about their resume.
Get rid of him and then figure the rest out.
The same is true of Kenzie and Tiffs situation.
This reminds me a bit of Olympic diving.
But the real winners are the ones who can do less splashy things but nail it every time.
I think it was a boneheaded move not to play it at this tribal council.
Hunter also ruins his own idol by telling everyone about it.
Hunter then starts telling people he has an idol and wants to get rid of Ben.
This is the dumbest thing ever.
Im convinced that this never actually happens.
Find another idol the next day, win another challenge, keep grinding away.
Jeff loves that kind of gameplay, and that strategy tookBen Driebergento a $1 million check.
How about spending less on popcorn and maybe raising that prize money after 25 years?)
I have this secret idol.
At tribal everyone is talking once again about Q and how he blew up the whole game.
I will begrudgingly give Q some credit, which is that he totally destroyed the status quo at camp.
Its a bunch of singles just trying to muddle their way through.
Speaking of which, my favorite part of the tribal council perfectly illustrates this.
Hunter is looking from person to person, making sure theyre voting for Q.
When he asks Venus, she says, Are you paying attention?
Ive been telling you its Q all day.
The thing I will never understand about Hunter is why he didnt play his damn idol.
One thing neither he nor anyone else on this show has, however, is a clue.
