Survivor Nicaragua started of normal enough, but took a right turn at crazy and 
ended up in Homophobic-town. It was not a pretty show tonight, but it was entertaining for a while.Let’s start with the older tribe (actually called Espada, but if Probst isn’t using the right names, neither am I!)....
Holly felt bad about voting off Wendy last week at tribal council, and she acted more and more strange as the night progressed. First she heard Dan making fun of her, so she decided to take her own revenge. Holly took Dan’s shoes, filled them with sand and sunk them in the lagoon water. I kind of thought it was genius to fill them with sand first, I’m so stupid they would have floated up on me and I would have been busted and crying in seconds.
Dan noticed his shoes were missing and alerted the camp to the fact. He also said they were worth $1600... now if you can afford shoes for $1600, you sure don’t need a million dollars. Maybe that’s just me, we’ll see if the others remember he said that. Holly felt guilty later and told Dan what she had done with his shoes. Didn’t show her going out and getting them though. Dan handled it well, he said, “If you were a man right now I’d punch you.” Luckily he didn’t.
Holly continued her downward spiral with an emotional meltdown on the beach with Jimmy Johnson. Pulling Johnson aside for that walk was probably the smartest move Holly could have made. Jimmy J. gave her a great speech and mostly let her vent until she felt better.
Speaking of Coach Johnson, he seems to be putting a big red circle on his back by taking the lead on the older tribe. What else could he really do though? People expect him to take charge, and he’s doing a great job so far. It’s when the team loses that his butt will be on the line (after Holly goes, of course).
On the younger tribe (La Flor), things were not all cheerleaders and football stars. A small inner alliance was forming with the three minority players.
Naonka got dramatic over losing her socks. She grabbed another pair from a tribe mate, without asking, and went on about her business. Naonka happened to take Fabio’s (Jud) socks though... and she says she hates him. At least she’s honest, she did tell him to his face that she doesn’t like him at all. Fabio feels the same un-love for her, but was quieter about it. We also heard just exactly what Naonka thinks of Kelly B., the single leg amputee on this season of Survivor: Nicaragua, “She’s a charity case.”
The challenge was a combination reward-immunity. The winner would be safe, and have a choice of a tarp or fishing equipment.
The older tribe decided to use the medallion to gain an advantage, so it changed hands to the younger tribe. What the older tribe got was an automatic lead in the competition. Good thing too. With that advantage, the older tribe was barely able to hold off the younger tribe for the big win.
The younger tribe had to sit out someone since they were one person for the competition. Naonka decided to take this opportunity to prove Kelly B. could not handle the physical game... how wrong she was. As Naonka sat on the sidelines, Kelly B. helped to lead her team to a close finish. All on the tribe were impressed with her abilities, including Naonka.
At tribal council Jeff Probst started his questions with one about trust... and things quickly devolved into a homophobic rant session that no one saw coming. Here is the Jeff Probst quote of the night: "Never in 21 seasons has an opening question opened up that much whoop-ass!"
Naonka came right out swinging at Shannon, and Shannon swung back. When Sash came to back up Naonka and a few of the other women, Shannon said, “Are you gay?” Um, what the hell did that have to do with anything? Sash said he was not and likely had had more hot girlfriends than Shannon. Mmm-kay. Shannon went on to explain to his silly tribe mates (and the rest of America) that there were more gays in New York than in Louisiana. Mmm-kay. Thanks for the census numbers there Shannon.
Somehow Shannon’s remarks wound up breaking the tie in the camp, albeit closely, and he found himself voted off Survivor: Nicaragua. Buh-bye.
Here’s what the Survivor teams look like now, after two weeks in Nicaragua:
Espada (older tribe)
Dan
Holly
Jane
Jill
Jimmy J.
Jimmy T.
Marty
Tyrone
Yve
La Flor (younger tribe)
Alina
Benry
Brenda
Chase
Jud
Kelly B.
Kelly S.
Naonka
Sash
So what do you think of Survivor: Nicaragua so far? Who do you think will win it all this season (or is it too early to tell yet)?
