CAO BOI:



STEPHANNIE:
How come every season we get at least one person that just decides to give up. I mean, the odds are so far against you that you will even MAKE the show, that if you are lucky enough to get picked, you should give it all that you have every day to try and win that prize. Last week Stephannie offered herself up to go, and for whatever reason her tribe didn't take her up on it. And then this week, all she had to do was stay quiet and go with the flow of the tribe, and she wouldn't have been touched. But instead she starts hinting she'd like to go home and get some mashed potatoes? Huh? Girl, you've got your whole life for mashed potatoes. When are you going to be in the running for a million dollars again? Oh, whatever... go home, enjoy your taters and gravy. I hope they're worth it!


JP:
You may have been surprised, J.P., that you were sent home. But that whole strategy of reclining back by the fire and telling everyone else what to do, and making sure you got a daily afternoon nap... was never going to get you far in this game. And you weren't even that strong in the challenges, and actually pointed that out to you tribe during Tribal Council. Yeah, I'd have to say there are serveral things you might choose to do a little differently if you had it all to do over again. But you left with class, and without a harsh word... and that's always nice to see.

CECILIA:
Well Cecilia, I'm not convinced there was a lot you could have done to stick around. It was just one of those things, someone had to go... and there was more fighting done on behalf of Becky than there was for you. If you know you were in such danger, I imagine you would have campaigned a little harder... but I'm not sure it would have changed things. Enjoy the rest of your time relaxing in the South Pacific!

BILLY:
Billy, Billy, Billy. What exactly is going on in that little head of yours? I have to say, I never saw it coming. You certainly have the distinguished honor of delivering one of the most memorable little speeches in Tribal Council history. I'm all for wearing your heart on your sleeve, but you might want to just doublecheck the fabrication factor of your love affair before you announce it to the world. Your tribemates first thought you were lazy, then they were convinced that you were crazy. Hopefully the heavy metal world will welcome you back with open arms, because I think you've spooked just about everyone else out.

SEKOU:
Our first castaway voted off the island. Sorry Sekou, your leadership skills were viewed as lacking by your tribemates. You still went out with a smile though, with no hard feelings. And you have an amazing career and life back at home! This was just a little diversion.

JEFF:
Jeff, you've got to get yourself a new hat, buddy. That one that you've been wearing to all of the challenges is looking a bit ratty. Have Julie Whats-cha-ma-Berry go get one for you. People are starting to whisper that you're trying to hide some hair loss. Hey, snaps on the inmmunity challenge! It was much fun to watch 8 grown adults try and balance on a little bittie platform for the chance to continue on in your little social experiment. Let's really blow this thing out and see what people will really do for the chance to win a million dollars. Let's have some ethically questionable challenges in the last half... like, first tribe to draw blood from the other wins immunity. First tribe to eat rat poison wins immunity. Come on... it's season 13! Time to push the envelope a bit. Everyone has forgiven you for the whole racial segregation thing, they'll forgive you for putting contestants in mortal danger for the sake of ratings. I mean... eventually, anyway.

Luxury Items

So during most seasons of Survivor, the castaways each get to bring one luxury item with them. I don't know what the precise rules and regulations are, but clearly they can't bring things like food, fishing gear, or steak knives. The rules must be pretty specific, because history shows that most of the survivors have chosen truly useless items. To mention a few:

Cologne, a teddy bear, paints & canvas, eyeliner, the Bible, lipstick, a football, crayons and a coloring book, the Texas state flag, a voodoo doll, a journal, a backgammon set, flaming fire-dancing balls (don't get me started), massage oils, a pillow, bongo drums, a shaving kit, war paints, Scrabble, a hairbrush, and a homemade immunnity headdress.

Hmmmm. Well, those of us that watched Colby's season when he brought the Texas flag, suddenly discovered that maybe that was a pretty smart move. His tribe was able to use it for shelter, and it actually came in quite handy. The same I think could be said for a shaving kit, assuming there are some razor blades in there somewhere that can be used to whittle a spear or cut fish. And to battle boredom, I suppose the football/Scrabble/backgammon choices are all good, as well as a journal to write in or the Bible to read.

But some of these choices are just crazy, right? I mean, if you have no soap, deodorant, or shampoo... who the heck is going to get close enough to you to notice you're wearing lipstick or eyeliner. And really, are either one of them powerful enough to offset the impact of matted hair and a dirt-streaked face?

And in both the case of the bongo drums and the swinging balls of fire, they may have made the individual survivor happy to have something familiar around, but the rest of the tribe wanted to kill them for subjecting them to the sounds/sights of their items.

So given the fact that we all agree that we are in our right minds, as opposed to those crazies that are stranded in the Cook Islands, what do YOU think would be the best luxury item to bring to help you survive the game? I've made a little poll over on the left hand side. (Go see! You may have to scroll a bit, but that's okay... I'll wait.) Find it? Okay! As you can see, I've taken five of what I think would be pretty sensible choices:

1. A flag/banner. (Colby had it right, bring something that looks sentimental, but has actual use in the wilderness.)

2. A toothbrush. (You shouldn't neglect your gums, even when competing for a million dollars. Plus, you don't want to offend those you are trying to ally with while whispering secretly in the bushes.)

3. A good luck charm. (This could be anything, from a rabbit's foot to a picture of your puppy, whatever you think would bring you luck.)

4. The Bible. (Let's assume this is the only book that the castaways are allowed to bring. No, manuals on "Surviving in the Wilderness", etc.)

5. A game. (A soccer ball, a chessboard, a volleyball... something to do during those boring lulls between challenges and scrapping for survivial.)

My personal choice would be the toothbrush. I know, I know, not very exciting. But I personally hate having stuff stuck in my teeth, and I'll I'd need is to be on national TV with a bit of coconut husk hanging from my choppers. It's not like anyone on the island competing against me is going to tell me I look like a fool.

How about you? What would you take? If you don't like my choices, leave a comment and tell me one of your own. You can do it, it's okay! I won't email you back and tell you I think your choice is silly. Honest.

Alrighty then! Another new episode tonight. I'll have updates up this evening, but it may be tomorrow before I finish with it all. Happy Survivoring!
