Survivor Recaps

Okay, I am two weeks behind on my Survivor recaps and I really don't recall all that much from the oldest episode other then the purple tribe went to their first tribal and Yasmin got sent home. If I was on this tribe I would have voted off Shambo after she lost a chicken because she "didn't know they could fly." A bird fly, who knew. But since Yas didn't help much around the camp, which is a valid point she was sent home. The purple tribe still has their numbers and I don't see that changing anytime soon.


In fact this weeks episode proved just that. The reward challenge was back. It involved eating seafood shakes that all looked gross. You had to keep all the shake down and the first team to 5 won. The purple tribe won steaks and other BBQ meats but in the course of winning they had to send one member to the yellow tribe. Russell chose to send Shambo since she had been there once before. Shambo didn't like this since that would mean she would miss the BBQ. Russell later said that he sent her as punishment for loosing the chicken. Cut to Shambo who keeps complaining that she really needed the protein from the meat. Guess what Sham, chicken has protein. Next time be more careful. Then Russell and Dave fought about a fire and the best way to start it blah, blah, blah. Perhaps because we haven't seen much of this tribe but I really don't care about any of them.


On to the immunity challenge. This one was all about weight. Two team members from each tribe had to hold onto a basket while opposing players threw in coconuts to weigh them down. Liz did surprisingly well but in the end the purple team overcame the other teams lack of basket shots to take the win. This sent the yellow tribe back to tribal but a rainstorm kept any of the castaways from running off and making plans. In the end the tribe voted Ashley off, perhaps because she lost the reward challenge or because she didn't seem like a physical player. If the yellow tribe keeps this up there won't be anyone left come merge time. Thoughts? Are you getting bored with this season? Are you finding it hard to pick a favorite or care about one tribe over the other? Are you glad the reward challenge and the immunity challenge are now separate?
