EPISODE FOURGrrr - that sucked. Even though Brooke's been quiet and hasn't done anything particularly special she just seemed to have such potential that I'm disappointed she's gone.
Her sweet face, surrounded in pink, hasn't needed a single slap since the start of everything and that they chose to whack her instead of the Lydia midget added to the suck-fest big time.
I'm very iffy at the way the new turn of events has given Judd such a huge amount of schmuck power -
man. Every single word that leaves his blubbering trap makes him more of a Pig than moments before and I can't believe Stephenie's ganged up with him the way she has. What is she thinking? I know she had to side with someone for strategy but ganging up with him is just very wrong.
Even worse is that she's not only buddy-buddy with him but thick-as-thieves with the cruel, evil Jamie too - whispering to the two of them as if they're the only worthy teenagers at the party, perched with an oddball high-and-mighty pride .
The three of them obviously think they're all looking super being together. Judd and Jamie want to be "in" with Stephenie because she's her and she wants to be with them because Jamie said she's not like a girl.
The three of them ended up this way at the end of the three-days that started with Day 9 at the start of the episode. Stephenie and Jamie were still in Yaxha and Judd in Nukem with everyone trying to get some refuge from the intense heat and hovering crocs.
The tribes were called to their Reward Challenge where Jeff told them they wouldn't need to do anything hectic and would instead choose people from their tribes to give cool goodies too.
He asked each of the tribes to say who they thought was most famished, Yaxha said Jamie - who's Pudge looks nourished enough to me - Nukem understandably said Danni and the two of them got a sour apple.
Jeff asked who the smelliest was, Yaxha said Gary, Nukem - unsurprisingly - said Bobby-Jon and the two of them got a shower. He then asked which two people most deserved a picnic and afternoon of fun, Yaxha chose Amy and Gary, Nukem chose Margaret and Judd and the four of them disappeared arm-in-arm.
Jeffsipoo finished by asking who had the most pride in being in their tribe, Yaxha said Brian - which was obvious - and Nukem said Cindy which was okay. She's the strangest thing ever - whenever I see her I remember she exists and that she's generally delivered with the stuff she's done, yet when she's not in the picture I forget she's there.
Jeff told them that these two would stay in their tribes with everyone else chopping and changing according to them choosing buffs from under a cup. This was the result:
New Yaxha: Brian, Danni, Bobby-Jon, Brandon, Amy, Gary and Blake
New Nakum: Brooke, Judd, Margaret, Stephenie, Lydia, Cindy, Rafe and Jamie
Everyone went back to their camps and the foursome who'd been stuffing their faces on the picnic returned to the surprise of being in new tribes.
Speaking of the picnickers - Gary Hoog and his lies - I'm really convinced it's all gonna backfire on him big time. I can't believe they're all so thick that they simply believe him when he says he not NFL when Danni's so adamant and also - if she keeps going on about it it's defs gonna put them against him in suspicion.
I never properly realised why he hasn't wanted to them to know before Amy mentioning that she'd be pissed if it's true because it means he's ultra rich. I never ever think of Survivor like that - like I'd never imagine that anyone would really have an issue with someone winning who's already got money and yet it must be a very real factor with Amy being so passionate about it.
I was gonna say that from the looks of things his and Amy's position in Yaxha is very much under threat for the reasons Amy and Brian mentioned of them being in the minority.
I'd momentarily forgotten how pathetically fickle everyone is though and that within two milli-centi-seconds of being with complete strangers they could change their minds and screw one of their own - like the Judd Judas who was fully prepared to do it after being directly responsible for Nukem needing to go to Tribal Council in the first place.
After getting to know their new each-others, the tribes were called to their Immunity Challenge where they had to shoot tiles out of wooden structure things. If someone trying for a tile felt they couldn't whack it, they could hand it over to someone else. Judd was useless and kept missing yet bullishly refused to hand his turn over, putting Nukem at a mega disadvantage that saw Brandon clinching the win for Yaxha.
I don't know what it is about him - I've never been one for farmers, I thought he was ultra dense at the start and I'm sure he's as smelly as Bobby-Jon but every week he finishes me up more and more in the oddest ways. It's as if his being in a frame makes everything seem so groovily chilled I want to see him more-more.
I was delighted that he was the one responsible for rubbing the salt in Judd's big, flabby wounds and found I was really pleased that Yaxha didn't need to vote.
Everyone returned to their tribes after their Challenge which is when Judd, Stephenie and Jamie ended up sitting together discussing who they wanted to get rid of - after Margaret tried to convince Judd to be loyal to his previous tribe.
There was something about the way everyone discussed everyone else during this time that was really very grisly. The way they spoke about Lydia being the other option for the whack - as if she's totally disposable and only good to be used while continuing their smiling with her. This is what comes from being the doormat she's allowed herself to be - all that jumping up and down and screaming she had going on at the Immunity Challenge made me want to throttle her.
.
The one advantage to the way things worked out though is that all the humdinging Pigs are currently in one tribe which means I now know exactly who my fave tribe is.
It's a faboo kind of relief knowing that I don't even have a smidgen of doubt that I'm on Yaxha's side completely. Even that Danni with her string bean body and moustache - I think she may have waxed 'cos it's currently looking more like a shadow - even she's not needing a slap.
Hopefully this is the beginning of Armageddon and they're gonna whip the evil in Nukem to a pulp.
