Survivor: Reality TV at its Best

I never liked the whole thing.
Survivor: Put a bunch of people on an island and let them compete a bit, give them some food once in while and when they had enough let them leave and in the end there will be only one left who wins.
A simple plot in wish the survivor skills where pretty limited i thought.
It was because my wife loved the show so much I started watching it too and, well I have to admit I became a big fan.
Last weeks episode was just finger licking reality TV at its best.
Isn't it like a good game of chess?
And it seems that the woman are better in it than the men!
Building it up slowly from the start too a super climax, thats how it was.
Cirie had to go too exile island while two groups competed for a trip too one of the other islands. In the end Ozzy's team won and they had great fun(especially the ice cream vendor) and returned too the island with a full stomach.
And then the real test came and one by one they gave up for snacks with the idea they wouldn't be voted of anyway.
Jason decided to take a gamble and let one of the girls win in exchange everybody promised not vote him of. I have to admit that he never will be a good poker player. But by doing this he opened up an opportunity not to be missed.
Everybody in the group was quite confident,yes, that Jason had to go. As quoted by one of the contenders : Jason must be the stupidest contender ever.
At the end was the tribal counsel voting.
Ooooh how they all where so sure. But slowly reality hit them when the votes came out the urn one by one, untill it was four votes for Jason and Four votes for Ozzy. What a climax it was when the last vote came out and it turned out to be Ozzy who had to go home.
Angry he was, he hated some people! But thats the game Ozzy. Of all the contenders you should know best.
Did you guys underestimated the GIRL POWER that was in the making?
It came clear to me that survivor was more than just trying to survive in nature with limited tools. The social part seems to as important if not the most important factor in the show.
True, maybe the ladies are not the strong ones when it comes to the tests but when it comes to surviving by manipulating the group the girls are way on top. And it has to be said, the guys look all a bit stupid to me!
So go on girls, I can't wait to see whats gone happen this week.
SURVIVOR: the game is on!!!!!
