WOW!!! This week’s episode of Survivor was great! In terms of downright entertainment, this episode is one of the best I’ve seen. I was enthralled from the word go, smiling, loving every minute of it. Even the ones I didn’t like were entertaining. I will be honest: Debbie is growing on me! (shocked gasps from the crowd). The challenge was fairly great too, but the thing that was sucky about this episode was the editing. Last week’s ep was tremendous in that everyone got a confessional, but this week saw a lot of people on Gondol in particular miss out. I love Tai to death, so it was amazing to see him get such a prominent edit. And while I think the TaiXCaleb thing is amazing for TV and really entertaining to watch (plus I ship it so hard, please make an alliance you two!), in consequence, it meant that there was no Nick (someone who gives the editors a goldmine of material), no Julia (who is playing quite well), no Anna, and I can’t even remember the other girl’s name! Aubrey was also absent this episode, but apart from that, everyone on Chan Loh got a decent edit. To Tang- although my least favourite tribe- has entertaining characters and everyone got decent edits. I was so disappointed in the Gondol edit though, especially since Gondol is my favourite tribe (TaiXCaleb ftw ♥).



Then we got to the pre-tribal. To Tang lose again, Tribal Council is among us. Alecia, as the only one outside the alliance of four, is the obvious boot right? WRONG!

Ladies and gentlemen, what you are about to get is a simple lesson in Survivor:

DON’T. MEDDLE. WITH. FATE.



I’m serious. When a boot so obvious as Alecia is happening, one wouldn’t go around trying to start something different, right? Well, Lanzetti (that’s Jennifer Lanzetti, for those who don’t know) did just that! She got this genius idea to form a girl’s alliance with Alecia, which made me just cringe. Then it worked, everyone was on board, and she backflipped on it because she felt bad about betraying Scot. This got Cydney worried, and then LANZETTI REVEALED THE POTENTIAL GIRLS ALLIANCE AT TRIBAL COUNCIL! Gosh, the second Lanzetti started talking, I knew she was going home. I was shouting at the TV, livid that MY winner pick was going to be second out. The more Lanzetti went on, the worse she made it for herself. She even tried to blame it on Alecia! Then when she stood up I just shook my head. Then, boom. 3-2. Lanzetti is the second out. Alecia lives another day, with the smug smile to prove it. Mum called her a smug bitch, but as I said, “wouldn’t you be smiling too if you thought you were going home but then you survived?”

There goes my winners pick…. I suck. :/  But not as much as Lanzetti, who will go down as the one who taught everyone a valuable lesson in Survivor: Don’t do anything that would jeaopordise an obvious boot! When you think about it, though, she could have gotten Jason out next. She was tight with Scot and could have roped in Cydney with the promise of a girl’s alliance then. It just makes everything look worse. From someone who was #1 in my power rankings last week, to screw everything up with one MASSIVE mistake and go home… unbelievable. Overall though, despite the slip in editing, it was still a fantastic episode with entertainment in overdrive for the full hour of the show. Had a great boot, one that I will remember for a while. Loved it. I’d give this 8/10.

Keep it up, Kaoh Rong. I love you! <3
