TV Recap: Survivor Gabon

Thanks to the recap, I recall that the Golden Boy – that’d be Marcus - got the backdoor last week. Man, I can’t wait to see Randy’s face when he sees this. That is going to freaking rock. Oh, and Corinne, and Charlie. Charlie’s junk might explode from the frustration!

We first get to see how things are going down at Fang. They get a clue that they need to practice a slingshot style golf game, and when they get to the competition, Corinne and Charlie are about to kill the members of Kota. Corinne says she is pissed because Marcus didn’t deserve to leave. Kenny calls her out asking her who does deserve to leave. Of course, she’s got no answer other than that Marcus shouldn’t be gone. Boo-freaking-hoo, bi-otch.

The competition is interesting, and Bob nearly breaks himself with one shot. Probst makes some comment about “both balls” being buried deep, and my husband gets a sweet Michael Scott-style, “that’s what she said” in. Too freaking funny. Do you think they just forgot to edit that comment out?

The game is tied, and it’s a 200 yard uphill hole. Matty’s ball bounces quite far, and Bob gets his even farther. In the end, Fang wins in spite of Randy and Matty fighting over how to get the job done. In spite of the win, anti-social, butthead Randy throws a fit. He’s really a jerk, and I can’t stand his stupid voice. Yeah, and I know that was a dumb jab, and I don’t care. I also just realized Probst is giving in to Corrine’s demands to call the tribe Fayng. Ridiculous. This show pisses me off more and more every week.

Reward is a sweet meal with an actual African Tribe. Matty for some reason thinks God is looking out for him, and gave him this reward. Now, I’m a God-fearing woman, but come on, what a ridiculous statement to make. As if God isn’t worried enough about other things – he has to take the time to provide a blessing on a guy who is worried that he won’t be able to not cheat on his woman at home. Then, Charlie starts in on his sorrow at losing his love interest, and I’m wishing Charlie would have left before Marcus. Oh, and Randy gets an African girlfriend. The funny thing is, you know she only liked him ‘cause she couldn’t understand a damn thing he was saying.

At Kota, Bob was sent to Exile, so it’s Kenny, Crystal, and Suzie alone to fend for themselves. Kenny goes out to fish, and gets his boat stuck on a log. After a few hours of spinning around in a circle, he figures it out and gives the girls some meat to fill their bellies. I’m talking Fish!!! He can’t believe his video gaming self was able to “provide” for two lovely ladies. This is an exercise in hilarity.

At Exile, Bob realizes Sugar’s got the real idol, so he makes himself a fake one. It’s much better than last season’s stick, but if he was really smart, he should have buried it where the real idol was, and let some other fool use it. That would be classic.

It’s time for the Immunity Challenge, and it’s individual – since Probst merges the two tribes. When they drop their buffs, I finally realize why the Professor always has a tie on – it’s his buff. Okay, I’m slow, lay off. He makes himself a new blue tie, and while I was pondering all of this, I missed what the challenge was about.

Oh, it’s one of those stupid who-can-make-fire-the-fastest competitions. I’m going with Bob on this one. He’s patient, and a scientist. Or, maybe Kenny. I bet he’s made loads of fire on World of Warcraft. In a shocker, Suzie is the first to get a flame, and I’m not sure why I didn’t think the momma would do it first. Us momma’s can do anything you set before us. And, she does it! Suzie wins the first individual immunity!

And, let the games begin. It’s Randy, Charlie, Bob and Corinne versus Kenny, Crystal, Matty and Suzie with Sugar as the swing for both. That stupid bitch Corrine calls Sugar a moron, and believes that she has persuaded Sugar to vote with them. Kenny takes Sugar aside and gives her his story about Charlie. They all think Sugar is stupid, and I’m super glad that they are dead wrong. She is using her head, and she has no intention of trusting any of them. She’s got her immunity idol tucked in her pocket, and quite honestly, I have no clue which way she is gonna go.

At tribal council, Marcus looks good, and Charlie is making eyes at him like a 12 year old girl. Seriously, he looks like he’s gonna jump him right here and now. Randy and Crystal have a little fight, and he gets all racist on her – saying she and GC were like a little gang. At first, I’m thinking he might not like black people, but I think he just doesn’t like anyone. Crystal talks about herself in the third person throughout the discussion. It’s all very strange, and makes little sense.

Sugar shuts everyone the hell up when she tells Probst she isn’t mean, and she doesn’t talk smack, and she’s got a pretty good idea of where everyone stands. Corrine looks more than nervous on that one – I’m pretty sure she was the target there.

Randy votes CC – Crystal Cox, and Probst has no clue who it is. Randy gets his ass called out on that one – and just when you think Crystal is gone – it’s tied. Ooh – it’s CHARLIE! Halle-freaking-lujah! You know what’s going to go down with Charlie and Marcus. I don’t have to spell it out.

At this point, I am 150% rooting for Sugar. She’s smart, she’s nice, and she totally deserves it. She is definitely “playing” better than anyone else.
