Survivor Samoa - Liz Voted Off (4-1)

The Survivors on Galu had a task: elect a new chief. All of the guys, including Erik, Dave, John, and Brett all plan on allowing Shambo become chief, before the even begin electing. So, when it comes time to elect a leader, Shambo was elected, receiving the four guys’ votes. The other women, especially Laura and Kelly were really not happy with this decision. Galu’s chief election was just like U.S. politics, you satisfy 60%, and disappoint 40%. Then, on Foa-Foa, Mick, Jaison, Russell, Natalie, and Liz were all pretty much fed up with their constant losing of the challenges, and wanted no more than to just win.

At the reward challenge, it was a matching and memory game: They could either take the necessary item and forfeit their point, or just take the point, and forfeit the item(s). During the challenge, Galu was in compete dominance once again, as they took seven points, one special item, and won reward. Their reward was a meal on a sailboat. Shambo, as leader, sent Laura to the Foa-Foa camp. Laura claimed it was just a personal attack.

At Foa-Foa, Russell and Laura are talking about church, ministry, and stuff like that at first. Russell tells her that his father was a preacher. I really hope that is true, because lying about being religious is just plain too far, too much. Then, Laura is told by Russell about a secret alliance he wants to make with her. Laura automatically agreed with. Then, Russell tells us his currently plan: Take Laura and Natalie to the final two, whom he thinks are the “dumb girls”. Let’s just reminisce this, that plan didn’t work for Rob, I doubt it’d work for Russell.

In the immunity challenge, I’ll just say it was a bit more creative, in a way. Instead of swimming to get puzzle pieces, they used hooks to fish them out. During this challenge, Foa-Foa had a lead, then Galu took it over, as Jaison was nearly giving up in the challenge, and Galu won immunity again, proving to Mick that some necklace isn’t bad luck. Jaison really was clearly not in this, and maybe Foa-Foa could’ve won if Jaison was in this. Simply, if you can go to college, you can do a puzzle.

Back at Foa-Foa, Russell, Mick, and Natalie seemed to have a strong upper hand, and it was either going to be Liz, the bottom, untrustworthy person, or Jaison, the guy who gave up in the challenge. At Tribal Council, they all once again mentioned a few words abut being so very tight. It was Liz with four votes who got voted off. Next week, the survivors will merge, but I still expect some kind of twist. This would be Survivor’s first ever merge with more than ten players.

I really like Russell attempting to work on the other tribe. He’s really going to have to work on getting the Galuanese tribe members to turn on each other. I am about 50-50 on the chance of Shambo jumping sides to make alliances with the Foa-Foanese survivors, whom she has said was her friends. If she does this, she’d probably want something dumb like taking Laura out to happen. However, why go with just Shambo, when Russell and Foa-Foa can easily convince Laura to jump sides, and that would allow Kelly and Monica to jump sides with her. That’s about certain to happen, if you ask me.

I am actually looking forward to and would be satisfied with a Russell/Laura/Natalie final three, simply because is Russell is doing all the backstabbing, it could give Laura a few “friend’s votes, but considering she turns on her tribe, I’d expect the Galuanese guys and/or Shambo to perhaps vote for Natalie to win. That’s just if Russell got his way, I think Laura would try to bring her, Monica, and Kelly along as far as possible, as it seems.

A few words about the Survivors:
Shambo: Umm, please vote her out, Galu!?!?!?
Erik: I don’t know if it’s just me, or did he not want to be the leader, as hopes of not being a threat?
Brett: Well, at least he can lead a tribe to victory, so he can’t be as dumb as the edit makes him look
John/Kelly/Monica: Absolutely no opinion, whatsoever, as of now with these guys
Dave: Not much to say about him, either, he seems as he’s just trying to be second in command of the Galu Guys alliance.
Mick: As good of a leader as he is being Russell’s sidekick, I think I’m just a bit disappointed with him now.
Jaison: A major disappointment, he supposed to be smart, but he gave up in a challenge and I’m glad he’s not in control, because he’d probably play personal, if he was in any powerful position.
Natalie: Like Brett, She’s probably got more sense than what the edit- and what Russell says.
Russell: Good thinking wanting the “dumbest” final three partners. . . . .NOT! It’s going to get us a so-called “dumb winner”. People are bitter, you don’t just take someone to the final two because they maybe perhaps look dumb, you have to take the one nobody would like to the end. That’s how people like Dreamz and Sugar get to the end.
Laura, I just see her as just another person nobody would vote for in the final three, is she were to turn on her tribe mates, which I see that happening because she wants Shambo out fast, therefore, at least she’s just another favourite I rooted for to go to the final three (she’d be, like, the eleventh favourite I’d see in the final three).
