Blinded by the headlights

I saved the last episode of survivor on the DVR because I thought it was so funny I just had to blog about it.  I saw myself running back and forth from the TV to the computer (in two different rooms) quoting the survivors precisely and making witty comments.  After telling my husband about the show and getting him laughing about the cookies, headlights and booby traps, I thought I could write up a really good post.  But here it is Tuesday, almost time for a new episode and the DVR is full.  Got to erase something and it isn't going to be Breaking Bad yet.  But about Survivor-it looks like it's going to be a good season and not necessarily because or in spite of the returning players.

I had hopes for Denise the "older woman."  "Older" women don't usually last long on survivor but she latched onto Malcom and if she had gotten rid of Angie that might have forced him to stick with her.

Angie might just be playing the "dumb blonde" role on purpose to have folks underestimate her.  Hey it's possible.  When Jeff asked at tribal what would she change about her tribe she thought for awhile.  It's possible that the obvious answers to that question were so obvious that it made the question seem a bit ridiculous.  Sorry Jeff but I thought the question was a bit ridiculous.  So she came up with the first ridiculous thing that came into her mind--COOKIES!!  I bet Big Bird was her favorite on Sesame Street.

And Malcom.  Malcom, Malcom, Malcom  Spellcheck says I'm spelling your name wrong so I checked.  It's Malcolm, Malcolm Malcolm.  Sorry.  Please don't be stupid.  Big tall good looking guys don't always last on Survivor either-not if they are seen as an immediate threat.  Paired with an "older woman" and/or a "dumb blonde"?  I do not know.  Things are different with three teams to begin with and now one team is down two players...?

And Roxy.  Alas we hardly knew you.  And what we did know made about as much sense as Jeff's question and the answer COOKIES. But the vote was 4-1 so Denise must have convinced Russell to vote Roxy also even tho he thought he needed her.  Or....let's just call a shovel a shovel maybe he thought she was annoying too.  I didn't think she was but then I didn't have to live with her.

Can this tribe win a challenge before they switch things up?  I don't know but they probably won't be as entertaining without Roxy.
