Survivor: Goodbye Rupert, hello Redemption strategies

Save me from the cavemen! Tadhana's strategy of getting rid of the girls is so unoriginal and prehistoric it's beyond embarrassing.

The trouble is, it's clearly working for them because three girls have been forced into facing each other at Redemption Island.

I'm sure we're going to see a challenge between Rachel, Marissa and Candice next week because I very much doubt that Tyson's going to swap places with Rachel for two reasons:

1. The trailer showed him standing up as if he's going to swap with her and we all know that the trailer always shows the opposite of what's going to happen.
2. There's no point in the loved ones swapping with their partners at Redemption Island because it doesn't actually help them as a team.

Gervase didn't swap with Marissa and made the right decision. Right now they need to stick to playing solo so that they can each get as much power as possible in their individual circumstances and then, once the merge happens, they can unite to create fireworks.

Of course this won't be happening for Rupert's wife Laura now that he's been ousted. She was thrilled about it wasn't she? So happy and chatty in delight after he'd left. I felt the same - I've seen enough of him to last me a lifetime.


I'm also verrrry iffy about that ego-maniac husband of Monica's, Brad. I was impressed with Candice for solving last week's mystery about Marissa. She hit the nail on the head when she said Marissa was voted out for dissing Brad at the very start when they first arrived. She's so right - that's exactly what happened and he used Gervase as the excuse.

It was interesting how many truths suddenly came to light this week - they're only six days in and yet you can see so much already like the fact that Colton is still a Pig - Aras is right that he's a total bully. Not surprising because I didn't think he'd changed.

I am surprised by Katie though because she managed to pull off that barrel challenge despite almost getting murdered. People always look like dead bodies when those barrels roll - can imagine they get bruised for dayzzzzz.

Sort of like Kat was after her run-in with Colton. Did you notice how subdued she was at the challenge afterwards? She may not be a brain surgeon but she's proven that she's quite sweet and she was obviously hurt.

I keep forgetting that she's dating the toothy one. Can never remember his name without seeing it... Hayden.



It's bizarre because he won the American Big Brother so you'd think he'd be more memorable - or (more likely!) this is probs why he isn't. Whichever it is, they aren't suited. I know Kat's a space cadet but she could definitely do better.

Glad to see the back of Rupert - he was cool in his first season or so but now is the poster guy for obnoxious. Tadhana's anti-girl strategy is also excrutiating. Colton is such a cartoon villain - everyone sees right through him. The boyfriend seems sweet enough. Was always an Aras fan and am really liking his game this time too - really someone who is grounded and centred (as a yogi should be) Also, he and Tyson were really cuddly in the one scene which was fun. Aras used to reside in Cape Town - and did you guys catch another former Survivor in CT this week? - i.e. Taj performing with SWV at the Jazz fest
