Survivor Gabon - Episode 12

[dr.strangelove]

Wow, I don't know what was better last night, watching Cirinne finally go down or watching Matty cry through his proposal to his girlfriend. It was really touching to see.

Otherwise the show was not great last night. Sugar goes back and forth from being my favorite to annoying me. I liked her last week, but found her fight with Bob and Corinne annoying. Kenny and bob caught a pretty nice fish, then MacGuyver Bob made a baking pan out of thin air. I love Bob.

The family visit was nice, as usual it was tear filled and they showed one idiot trying to strategize with their family member. I wonder if that person has ever won. I don't think so. I see Kenny going down next week.

Matty and his girlfriend, Jamie, were adorable. Matty is crying like a little kid and she is just trying to hug him. It was so cute.

The IC was boring. Bob rocks and I hope he wins the game. He is the best idol maker ever. Brunet should hire the guy. It will come out that Kenny and Crystal were out for themselves and whichever one of them don;t win immunity will go next week. I'd keep bob around before one of them, at least for another week. Even more so because it sets it up for final three very easily. Sugar, Matty and Susie have three votes and can guarantee bob final 4. All Kenny and Crystal can offer is a chance at last three, but no promise he will live out the day. Of course he can force a tie, but a safe passage for the night is better than anythign else.

1. Idol, idol, who's got the idol?

You know, as much as I dislike Corinne, I was kind of hoping their gambit would work.

Well played by Kenny. He figured out the best strategy to deal with Corinne and Bob's ruse, and implemented it. He is definitely in charge, which means he has a huge target on his back now--Crystal would do well to consider taking him out sooner rather than later. If they are the final two, Kenny has this in the bag for a game extremely well played, despite his lying.

It's not good that he was going to flip on Matty before Corinne and Bob were gone, but I wasn't expecting him to stay good until the end. Kenny and Crystal doing the happy dance over the thought of voting out Matty was actually funny to me.

Sugar annoyed me this week, as well as during the Thanksgiving episode, because nobody likes someone who preaches sanctimoniously about how to be a better person to someone. Corinne is not a nice person, but honestly, I sometimes wonder about Crystal too.

OMG, I loved Matty proposing to Jamie on the docks. It was so sweet. I really like him, but I'm afraid he's not very bright. Loved Bob's wife, and I'm now firmly in the camp that would like to see Bob take this whole thing. I don't think he will, but I'd like it.

Interesting that Corinne said she'd like Bob and Kenny to go to the end. I didn't get any sense that she had much of a relationship with Kenny until now. I guess she just respects his game (and it's hard not to, he's playing a very good one).

2. Yay, Corinne is gone!

I agree, Sugar was rather annoying at times. I still like her, I think in part because at first I thought she was an airhead and now I am finding out she isn't so dumb. Despite my dislike of Corinne, I wanted Sugar and Matty to join with Bob and Corinne to take out the other three. I like Bob, Sugar, and Matty. Susie -- half the time I forget she is even there but I blame that on the editors.

I figured Bob's wife would actually be there. When he had all that food and couldn't pick someone to enjoy it with him, I had an idea his wife would pop up. I'm glad everyone got to see their family member.

I felt uncomfortable watching Matty propose and cry to his girlfriend. I kept thinking, "the cameras shouldn't be there! This is a personal and private moment!"

I don't even remember the IC so I must agree that it was boring. When Bob, Corinne, Kenny, and Crystal all decided to get rid of Matty I was so depressed. Then, when Kenny decided they should vote for Corinne to knock out Matty AND the immunity idol in one swoop I was thrilled! Yay! I hope Kenny goes next, he gets on my nerves with his "I'm in control" stuff.
