Survivor Gabon - October 23, 2008

Due to an unfortunate incident last night involving my car keys, I wasn't able to watch Survivor last night, nor do an update. Fortunately Lynn has come forward with a brief summary of events. I can't help noticing a certain animosity in Lynn's writings for MY GUY Randy. Hmmmm. It appears that Barb from our pool was the one to make her exit last night. Lynn's notes follow:

Well, here’s a short synopsis which is all I have time for. You may find some of the material familiar:

Fang lost the Reward Challenge
Randy is a jack***
Dan thinks he’s at the Survivor all you can eat buffet which is starting to tick people off
Randy is a jack***
Sugar went to Exile Island
Fang lost the Immunity Challenge
Crystal, the Olympic champion, is a dud
Sugar stupidly gave the Idol to Ace
Kenny found out that Sugar gave the Idol to Ace and asked her what the h*** she was thinking
Sugar repossessed the Idol when Ace was away from camp leading me to believe there may be brunette roots under that blonde hair
Ace managed to maintain his fake smile when Sugar told him about the repossession
Kelly went home after talking trash about both Ace and Crystal at Tribal Council
Oh, and did I mention that I think Randy is a total jack***???

And here is Roberta's take on the evening's entertainment:

What can be said… Jeff had a dark purple shirt or else it was dark navy with purple glints. There was the usual conniving between team members.

The losing team continued to lose the challenges.

The reward challenge was for each team to chase each other around a track until they caught the other team, carrying a 200 pound snake attached by a thong to a wrist cuff. When they got tired they could drop out. Kelly had the head on their snake and couldn’t walk as fast as the opposing team, much to the dismay of her male team members. ( Why they put her on the front I don’t know). They convince Kelly to drop out and Sugar went at the same time leaving 4 against the 5 guys on the other team. Soon Crystal and Ken drop out. Ace has been vocal in encouraging his team members to drop out so they don’t slow them down. However Ace and Matty carried 100 pound each can’t move as fast as 5 guys carrying 40 pound each. Crystal cries tears of frustration and then tries to convince everyone on her team that it is not weakness. Kelly see this as an opportunity to get rid of a team mate that she doesn’t like. The opposing tribe, especially Randy rubs in the lose specifically targeting Crystal who, if looks could kill, Randy would be dead.

At the other camp Marcus and Bob catch a huge turtle and they make turtle stew which is really good although it looked very grey in the pot. Dan is being bossy and getting on people’s nerves.

The challenge that sent them to tribal council was to crawl through an obstacle course in pairs tied together, collect two pieces of a flag pole and eventually build the pole with the 6 pieces they had retrieved. The pole was made from metal pipe. ACE thought he could build the flag pole all by himself, telling everyone else but especially Crystal, to let him do it, only to spend minutes trying to get two pieces that clearly didn’t fit, together. Up until this point, they had a fighting chance of winning. However it was not to be again.

Sugar gets sent to Exile Island again and feels guilty and cries because she has all this fruit to eat and her team mates have ½ cup
of rice. However Sugar gave the immunity idol to Ace for safe keeping because her tribe mates went through her bag!!!! Duh! I think she think’s if she asks, she’ll get it back. After great strategizing back in camp as to whom should be voted off, Kelly or Ace the votes are finally cast. Kelly is voted off and Ace sits and smirks.

Unfortunately I didn’t look to see who Kelly was to see who we bid fairwell too.

Oh the elephant is back across the creek and actually moved into the creek. Ace sits and watches and comments on what a fantastic sight this is.
