Well, let’s give this a try. Here is my first Survivor contribution to my brother’s blog. Thanks for inviting me!
I’ve been running a pool for about the last 12 or 13 seasons (that I have yet to win!) and have been entertaining those in the pool with a weekly update. I hope you find it as entertaining as they have.
Well, I have to say, I never really liked Boston Rob in the 2 seasons he’s been in. He was so conniving and slimy. I guess that’s because some of the other players haven’t come around yet. Last episode almost made Rob… dare I say human. And the fact that Russell has since been put into the Survivor alumni, Rob doesn’t seem that slimy.
I think Stephenie was a good choice to get rid of as I think she needed a little bit more listening and a little less mouth. Man!! I hope that tribe doesn’t end up imploding because that would be an unfortunate victory for the Villains. As in any superhero comic, good always overcomes evil!
My picks for this season? JT, Jerri, Rob and Parvati. I really like the way JT played in his last season. He’s just so darn likable but still knows how to manipulate. Jerri has been surprisingly subdued (or at least they’re not showing much of the contrary) and seems to be a lot more relaxed. Maybe she’s just as smitten with Coach as he is with her, who knows?! I think if she doesn’t rock the boat, she’ll go far. Rob, well, he’s just got a butt load of personality and charisma! And Parvati, well, she’s just very cunning and knows how to use her feminine charms.
It’s going to be an interesting season and I’m looking forward to keeping you posted with my opinion, for what it’s worth. And if you don’t like it… well, you know.
