She's only just appeared on Survivor Samoa and disappeared as suddenly. Kelly. Did you also only notice her recently? She spoke for the first time last week, at one of the challenges and on Monday night she had quite a lot to say before getting unceremoniously whacked.
Her blindsiding was excellent fun, made extra giggle'worthy by how it impacted on Laura who's my worst out of everyone. Watching her last night I realised that she's the person I'd
least want to align myself with if I were on the show - which got me thinking about who I'd most want an alliance with.
The answer: Mick.
Here's my list of reasons as to why I wouldn't align with any of the others:
Laura
Too catty and cliquey. Comes across as very two-faced and judgemental. Definitely seems as if Shambo was right about her, when she said she was in the "cool girls" group at school and still maintains the same mentality.
Shambo
Even though she's Laura's arch enemy, I'd never align with her because of the mallet-mess she wears as hair. It's different for Russell because she wouldn't ask a guy to try to un-knot it for her but if she was tight with a chick she might and you
don't want to be that person, brrrr.
Also, she comes across as too much of a victim which isn't a good state of mind to be a winning team.
Natalie
You'd always be competing with her boobs. If you made the final two with her and you faced the jury together no-one would listen to your reasons as to why you should win because they'd be mesmerised into her bosom.
Russell
Despite him being such a poison dwarf I'm liking him more and more because of how funny he is. He's definitely playing the game the way one should and would bring loads of smarts to an alliance. The only problem is the obvious one: he'd
definitely stab you in the back when things got to the crunch.
Jaison
Jaison's a double edged sword: on one hand he'd be a perfect ally because he's so cool but this is the very thing that makes him such a problem. In a final two situation it would very difficult to beat him. He's also good company so the jury would like him and you'd have an impossible task trying to be more charming than him.
Dave
Urgh, never. After Laura he's my next worst. His Kevin Spacey resemblance doesn't do the real Kevin any favours - I won't be able to see him again without thinking of Dave. Last night he confirmed that he's the thickest of them all when he bulldozed Monica's concerns about someone playing an idol.
He also looks too scuzzball to be a legitimate gym instructor and doesn't give any sense of confidence that he's loyal or trustworthy. A definite no-no.
John
Too vain.
? ... Brett
He's so invisible I had to look up his name. I don't have any relationship with him whatsoever and would never suggest getting together.
Monica
I considered her quite seriously for a while because of how lost she seems. Like if you were to offer her a final two alliance to the end, she may consider it and might even be very trustworthy.
I also have a girlcrush on her so it would be cool
but she's useless at challenges. If you want to go far as a final two you have to be tough in challenges too, particularly once it starts getting down to the finale four and three so she's a "no" too.
Which only leaves ....
Mick
.... who has all the right ingredients. He seems very trustworthy, he's physically tough, he hasn't rubbed anyone up the wrong way and he's maintained a sense of calm while his tribe was down.
Yes it would be tough to be beat him in a final two situation because of all these things but the one thing he hasn't shown is that he's good company. In a final two situation all you'd have to do is charm the jury and be more charismatic than him, which shouldn't be too difficult.
