No, wait, its the final four fire-making challenge.
No, wait, its the tribes.
No, its the fire.
No, its the tribes.
But tonight, it really is about the tribes.
Jeff says he likes the small tribes because there is nowhere to hide.
Im telling you where they can hide:a winning tribe!
Is this how we do it onSurvivor, Jeff?
Even this vote is a little bit bullshitt-y because its not just a question aboutifthe tribes are swapped buthow.
Yes, its up to luck.
You might as well have them roll dice.
As I always say, nothing on this show should be left up to luck.
Its hard to keep track of who is where and what the dynamics of that tribe are.
For the casual viewer, thats far too much.
What if, to even out the tribes, they kept them mostly the way they were?
(Actually, you know its green because theyre the ones that keep losing.)
There are a number of creative ways to divvy this up that have nothing to do with luck.
Lets say Civa and Lagi both do a challenge, like the classic hold-a-bucket-of-water-up-as-long-as-you-possibly-can challenge.
Whoever drops their bucket first goes to Vulu.
Or better yet, whoever wins picks the person from their tribe (which could also be themselves!)
to go to Vulu.
If you dont do it in 15 minutes, were eliminating two people.
This would be a real twist because not even these superfans on the cast would see it coming.
Its totally new and would require them to think about the game in a way without precedent.
Okay, enough free ideas from me for this recap.
Immediately, we know that Vulu is going to be the one to lose and go to tribal council.
Why would we need to know and remember all of this unless its coming up at tribal?
Well, it turns outshe already has.
When talking to his new tribe, he says she dumped him over money issues.
David, this woman does not want you!
Shes already dumped you, dude.
This relationship is gone!
(This suddenly feels way more like one of myRealHousewivesrecapsthan it doesSurvivor.)
The California Girls hear this and think they can keep her around and add her as a number.
At least now I know that if I playedSurvivor, I would be voted out on day eight.
However, there are two reasons why the California Girls didnt switch up their strategy.
First is because Kamilla is playing an excellent game.
They dont know how it works.
Because they were hiding on a winning tribe.
Its not called hiding; its called relationships, and thats why were here.
