Survivor - Marisa Voted off (7-3 vote)

This episode started off with all 20 Survivors rowing their boat to a beach, until they finally arrive and are told they’ll be assigning someone on their tribe a leadership position With 4 votes, it was Russell S. elected leader for Galu Tribe and with five votes, it was Mick elected for the Foa Foa Tribe. The two leaders had to select which four people from each tribe had to participate in the first reward challenge. It was Russell H, Liz, Jaison, someone else I don’t remember who beat out the other four of Galu, winning Flint for their tribe.

During the tribe’s first time together, Shannon tells everyone she wants to be called Shambo, as that’s her nickname. John seems to be talking nonsense about building a shelter, which seems to annoy everyone in the camp. Shambo says Russell wasn’t a good leader, as she sees everyone laying in the ocean having fun. At Foa Foa, Russell H begins making several alliances with girls he thinks is “dumb”, making an alliance with Ashley, Natalie, Marisa, and even the older woman, Betsy.

Russell shows he’s more of a dickhead by making up a false story about Surviving Hurricane Katrina, and saying he lost his German Shepherd. OK, what’s almost even worse than Jonny Fairplay’s lie, because losing your dog is not as sensitive as losing your grandmother, so he’s a major dickhead. Not to mention I’m sure real Hurricane Katrina survivors are extremely upset over someone making up a fake story of something people really did go through. Marisa and Betsy are claiming there’s something fishy about Russell. Then, Russell goes even more pitiful by dumping the tribe mates’ canteens and burning someone’s socks.

Next, we can go straight to the immunity challenge. In the immunity challenge, the Survivors had to carry a rope across four wedges and release a crate for four people to recreate into a puzzle. It was the Galu Tribe who won, winning Immunity and Flint. At Foa Foa, it seemed that they all wanted to vote for Ashley, since they all think she’s the weakest member of the tribe. Then, Marisa tells Russell H there’s something suspicious about him. This got everyone wanting to vote out Marisa, since Russell H. was telling them to do so. So, at tribal council, Ashley was told she was the weakest member of the tribe, and Marisa and Ben go at it, claiming they don’t like each other. So, it was Marisa with seven votes who got voted off.

I really am with the people I know who says they don’t care that Marisa was the first to go, but the way it looked, I was sure she’d be one of the ones who’d last, simply because she was always on a Survivor preview. I really didn’t care too much for this premier, and it made no sense half the time because half of these Survivors were not shown at all. That got so annoying. I remember Russell H, Russell S, Shambo, John, Marisa, Ashley, Ben, Jaison, and that’s just about who I remember seeing right now. This was very disappointing.
