Survivor Game.... Continues... Exile Island...

It has been a really long time since I have provided you all with a Survvor game update. It all started when the NCAA's came to town and essentially knocked Survivor off for three weeks. That's fine... but a few episodes have aired since we last talked... let's get caught up.

Nine episodes have passed us by and that is not including the 10th bonus episode that we got that was a highlights episode. 9 people out of 16 have been eliminated and we have only five more episodes left.

I am going to say that this is one of my more favorite seasons of Survivor and it is for one reason -- the hidden immunity idol. I thought the idea of the hidden immunity idol was pretty stupid. It annoyed me that they would throw in this idea and let it float out there. What it has done is to create some amazing drama in each of the Tribal Councils.

If a contestant is voted off and he or she has the hidden (extra) immunity idol, he or she can play it then. The person with the second highest amount of votes is then voted off the island. In the past couple of episodes, Aras has felt that if the hidden idol is played, he would be voted off and ... he... would have been correct. This tension has been fun to watch as he gets defensive and crazy just thinking about it.

Through the magic of editting, the two people that I once labeled as assholes (Shane and Courtney) have really become less of that. They are now more enjoyable to watch. I stillw ouldn't want to hang out with any of them... but I am more inclined to like them.

Cirie is still a pisser to watch each week. She is playing the "under the radar" tactic and it might actually work out for her. Good luck to Cirie.

The producers also seem to have a strange fascination with Danielle's breasts. She is on the show too... right? Muh wife and I can't stop laughing at how many close ups they of her each week...

If I was drinking these days... we might make a drinking game out of it!

Until next week folks....I am still rooting for Terry...

The score is 6-3 with your humble host in the lead after watching three of his players stick around...in a row.
