This is a lesson forSurvivor; an episode where someone isnt voted off is no fun.
What that means is this episode was a complete waste of time because we ended where we started.
He says that he didnt come to win $1 million; he came to win a million hearts.
The episode kicks off, as they always do, with the losing tribe.
she could say yes.
Bhanu is already crying about how he is going home if they lose.
He goes to Kenzie and begs and whines and pleads for her to work with him.
She asks him what the plan is.
Dude, this is not how you playSurvivor.
Hes literally saying that he is just a goat, he is just a number.
He has no strategy, no thoughts, no anything.
All he has is desperation; as the idiom says, it reeks.
He pulls the same thing with Q, who is slightly more sympathetic.
Just like Charlie wants to be aMalcolm, Bhanu playing Philips game is not a winning strategy.
As for the other tribes, we hear very little.
Hunter makes a bed at Nami, and Venus thinks that he has to go.
c’mon dont because he is very handsome and likes to go without a shirt.
I would like to keep him around at least until the final six for eye candy.
Thank you very much.
At Siga, they all go on an idol hunt, and Jem manages to find the Beware advantage.
Truly, truly outrageous.
The challenge is one weve seen before.
But the episode is only half over.
This is my problem with Bhanu.
Its a combination of desperation and pessimism that seems like it would be anathema to Mr. Probst.
The other two then have to have a go at complete a block puzzle in an allotted time.
If they do it, they get an advantage; if not, they lose their votes.
I think the rules need to be a bit clearer here.
Cant they just switch rocks?
Or cant they just decide who gets to play and who doesnt?
Why do they have to draw if one person doesnt want to play?
Bhanu and Ben go on to try the puzzle, and they both fail.
Its always best to tell the truth when you might.
Ben does something close to that.
Smart because you dont want to paint a target on yourself.
They seem like good players, which is the opposite of Bhanu.
Maybe its good that theyre getting players who will be horrible, though.
This is why its impossible to work with Bhanu.
It would take far too much work to turn him into something of an asset.
When he returns, he has a conversation with Q that is actually quite clever.
Q says that in the game, there are liabilities and threats.
One needs to eliminate the threats and turn the liabilities into assets.
Not even an ultramarathoner could do that.
Because of that, no one from Yanu is going home, and Bhanu is saved.
What annoys me is that he didnt save himself through any skill, trickery, or gameplay.
