Worst Survivor Move Ever

Thursday night we witnessed what will probably go down as the worst move in Survivor history. All of a sudden, this season got interesting.

First, Anthony continued to be the weak link at Ravu. They did one of my favorite challenges from Vanuatu and he just couldn't seem to get it together. It's a tough call as to where to put him in line. If they put him first, they might not ever have a person across. But if they put him last, they could get someone all the way down the line only to not be able to get around Anthony at the end. It's a shame. He seems like he's a nice enough guy - he just folds under the pressure of challenges. The reward challenge was also one of the most ridiculous in Survivor history. A king sized bed? It's just ridiculous.

We finally got a glimpse at life at Moto, but sadly because Gary (Papa Smurf) finally couldn't handle his breathing problems any more. What a guy - he toughed it out for three days after the medics first visited until he left. It turns out that his breathing problems were caused by an allergic reaction to the bug bites. I really feel for the guy.

Did you love how in the immunity challenge they put Anthony in the cage at the end? I wonder if Rocky (in his pink bikini top) locked him in with a "you can't mess it up from here!!" And I just don't understand how Ravu could fall so far behind in the challenge. But all of this is secondary to the message in the bottle. After they won the challenge, Moto had to choose between immunity or their plush camp. For anyone who is a fan of the show, you know what the answer should be - you choose immunity. It gives you a two person advantage (sitting two people out at each challenge is a HUGE advantage), and means that you still don't have to start the backstabbing and nastiness for a few more days. You always choose immunity. But somehow, the luxuries have addled Moto's brain - they actually gave up immunity to keep their camp. That's right. They gave up immunity. It's been two days, and I STILL can't believe it.

So even though they are still undefeated in challenges, Moto ended up having to go to tribal council. And the nastiness started as soon as they got back to camp. Lisi was the worst. I haven't liked her from the beginning, but she really bothered me this week. Between her callous interview about Gary leaving meaning better odds for her (which it actually doesn't) to her talking about "Liliana's diabolic Mexican moves", I am so ready for her to go. Alas, it was Liliana who was the first voted out of the tribe. So stupid (though not as stupid as giving up immunity. Seriously people - worst move in Survivor history). So now both tribes are even at 7, and Moto got rid of one of their stronger players. Good luck with that.
