I'm finding the latest iteration of Survivor to be entertaining. So far.That demented person who insists on being called "Coach". Real name Ben Wade. Fired, no longer a coach and unemployed, gets on his tribe's and the viewer's nerves. Clearly that man has some serious problems. However, while his method might have been madness, I agree with him, the longer you cook beans, the better.
The dolt Joe, falling for Taj's fake immunity idol, was funny. I liked how he hit the road running as soon as he thought his tribe couldn't see him jackrabbiting. I wish he'd given it to Sydney to play. I don't like postponed gratification.
How did Taj fashion such a believable fake idol with no one catching her? Did the producers decide this was a good time to line the people up to film a bunch of confessionals? Thus giving Taj plenty of time to do her crafty work.
JT easily, accidentally, finding Taj's hidden Immunity Idol was a bit odd. Here, Taj and Stephan were discussing whether or not to let the boy know, and then he goes and finds it on his own? Why did Taj hide the thing so poorly?
For a moment or two I thought JT and Stephan were going to turn nefarious and do a bad thing and vote out Taj. In the end they came to their senses and got rid of Syndey. Actually, had Taj, JT and Stephan actually come to their senses it would seem that getting rid of Joe would have been the better strategic move. And a much funnier blindside for the entertainment of us viewers.
Next week the tribes merges and unless they muck it up, and you know they will, Taj, Brendan, Sierra, Stephan and JT have control. I hope they use their control in a way that totally confuses their victims. That would be fun to watch.
