Survivor Gabon

I was so excited that survivor was finaly coming back on. Since the weather has gotten a little cooler it is easier to sit and watch televesion. Of course that is, if I can stay awake...

Here is a run down just incase you did not get to watch it.


Michelle is voted out in the first . Gillian is voted out in the second. The 2 teams are named “Kota” and “Fang”, pronounced “fong”. Fang pretty much sucks. They lost the first 3 challenges and the first two members.

Now that the teams are selected, it’s time for the first challenge. There are two individual immunity idols at the top of the hill, a bag of rice, and an extra bag of corn and beans (the first tribe across will get this). GC and Marcus rush ahead and get individual immunity. Michelle, the last one picked, is the first woman across (and not happy with her new tribe). Try as he might, Matty can’t push (literally) his tribe fast enough, and Kota wins the challenge and the extra food. It’s not even close, and Fang looks in trouble when it comes to physical challenges. Their first three picks (Gillian, Crystal, and Susie) were not the way to build a good strong team in that respect.

Following an abysmal job of constructing a tribe in Survivor: Gabon Episode 1, the lackluster Fang tribe got beat badly in both challenges, and then foolishly decided to vote out Michelle, a negative but relatively strong part of the tribe.
Marcus and Charlie have a strong bond, but Marcus would like to add some additional players to the fold, so they’re looking toward the women.
GC’s growing into his leadership role, but Randy hopes to sabotage him and let the tribe self destruct, as if that will take a lot.
Marcus approaches Corinne to see where she’s at. She likes Jacque, and he was already thinking about that. She’d like to be in an alliance with them and Charlie. They all gather together to discuss their strategy, including who should be the fifth (lesser) partner.
GC was awakened early by all the snoring. He decides to do laundry, then a few people join in. Gillian lets him and the others know she doesn’t want to hear them talking that early in the morning. GC (Golden Child) hands over his leadership because he doesn’t want to be the leader any more. Nobody else wants to be the leader (still). Dan tells the camera he’d like to be the leader, as long as he’s a silent leader and nobody knows about it.

Sad to say.. But I fell asleep. But do you have a favorite yet?

For some reason, I ended up rooting for the under dogs. I don't have a favorite yet, but was glad to see Jillian go!

I don't have a favorite yet either... but Fang seems to be pulling together more as a team. Fang sure has some characters... GC... Dan.... they are a strange bunch.

But Ace... he has way too much power. They should have voted him out
