Survivor Cook Islands - Episode 6 Discussion Thread

[dr.strangelove]

OH MY GOD!!! THAT WAS FREAKING GREAT!! that was the survivor I grew to love. An intense challenge that solidified someone who I thought was weak (candace) and a bone headed decision that will come back to haunt the players later.

For the release of Cao Boi, I think it was time for him to go. He was a huge distraction at camp and not a huge contributer at challenges. Given the choice between him and Candace, I would keep her every time. Also, I don;t think its time to oust Jonathon yet. He showed he is strong and tough in the challenge. e is overconfident in his alliance, so he can be picked off later.

The bone headed move was not protecting Cristina. It was clear that she was going to be voted out. Aitu could have forced them to eat someone they wanted to keep, and keep the person clearly causing problems in their tribe. Plus, since she is the odd man out, they could have made some headway into understanding their tribe in exchange for promising her friends should she get to the merge. It was a bad call to protect Nate.

The challenge was great. Candace got a huge amount of respect for her performance. She won that event by herself.

1. I agree - taking Nate was a strange decision

It wasn't clear to me if the kidnapped member is returned to their tribe for the next challenge?

Ozzy clearly didn't like the cop lady, and I think that influenced the decision, although it was really dumb for the reasons you state.

Cao Boi, poor guy, just didn't see it coming. He's not cut out for this sort of thing. And, he was physically a weak link so they were correct to make him go.

4. That puzzled me too. But I think he goes back.

Then the Raro tribe has to wonder if his loyalty has been compromised in any way. And he has to wonder what they talked about in his absence.

2. Exactly what I said

The second it was said that they could kidnap one person, my wife and I said "Christina" at the same time. Why would you not protect the person that is obviously off and make them change their plan, with no preparation, and have to off someone they wanted to keep.

Also, Candace and the blonde guy from the other team have to stop the lovey faces if they want to make it to the merge and reform their alliance. Could it have been any more obvious?

3. right on

You and your wife are a lot like me and my wife. We said the same thing about Candace and we both noticed that Adam/Candace lovey faces. They seem to have gotten caught and I think it will haunt them.

5. I don't think they knew the dynamics happening with

Christina. I'm not sure what the thinking was for the kidnapping Nate but I think it threw them for a loop.

They may have known and didn't want Parvati or Adam voted off in Christina's place. It seem that the white tribe is still dominant and still in a huge alliance. We'll see how it goes but Ozzy is an animal and Candice really surprised me, good for her for holding those two girls off for that long.

6. I agree with Memphis Tiger .

They're very clever with the editing. Maybe something was going on with Nate that we didn't see.

I didn't like that reward challenge at all. It was better suited for "Duel" on MTV.
