Survivor 13: Spics vs. Chinks???

[Motorboat Cruiser]

Hmm, anyone watch last week? I finally saw it over the weekend. I'm surprised that they got rid of Jonathan. I can't think of anyone I would rather have faced in the final two.

Next week looks interesting at it appears a plot is underway to get rid of Ozzy. Um, you are going to have to beat him at a challenge first. And going by last weeks challenge, you seriously better hope that water and/or balance don't come into play. He made that challenge look like child's play...once again. I have a feeling that a few of the other players are still nursing bruises from that one.

I think 2 things came into play. Fistly, there is the risk of the Hatch-factor. While everyone may have hated him, there's always the possibility that it will flip around and be viewed as good game-play. Secondly, and I think they did a poor job of showing it until this episode, EVERYONE seemed to hate being around him. I mean, for a while it seemed like while bimbo and bimbo (Pavarti and Adam) really hated him while the rest were annoyed but tolerated him. But this episode really showed, they barely tolerated him. After a while, I imagine it was just getting exhausting having to put up with his crap, and be associated with his crap.

And at this point, it's a good numbers move. Assuming no side-plot succeeds, either of the bimbos will be gone next week. Then, the week after, if whomever's left happens to win immunity, you just pick off whomever you were planning on being the first out of the final 4 (I'm assuming Sundra), odds are the same person isn't going to win immunity the week after. So if you're secure in your final 3 (Ozzy, Yul, Becky seem pretty strong), they're in good shape without Johnathan.

I don't think there's much chance Ozzy's going, even without winning immunity. While there's a good case for Sundra flipping and voting with the bimbos, that leaves a 3-3 situation. Yul clearly won't flip, and Becky is doubtful at best. And the track record still remains: since the advent of the "pull a stone from the bag" method of tie-breaking, no one has ever risked a tied vote. And with the Yulmunity still in play, I don't see it happening this time either.
