Survivor 30 - Episode 7

SURVIVOR 30 – Episode 7

• Tonight’s episode starts out with Rodney plotting against Mike.
• I really like Jenn; she’s fun to watch.
• Man, Rodney is such a dick, doing what he pleases around camp.
• The Reward Challenge is balance beams and a puzzle…something a woman should excel at.
• But, Joe’s kickin’ ass.
• Jeff is talking during the challenge, as he usually does, giving the play by play. He says that Mike is making no progress and Mike responds, “Thanks Jeff”.
• Well, maybe that was the kick in the pants that Mike needed, because, he starts to pull ahead. There’s always that drama with somebody coming from behind to win it…but not this time.
• Joe wins! He’s allowed to pick four people to share his reward with, so, he picks Tyler, Will, Carolyn and Shirin to go canopy zip lining and to have a picnic.
• Rodney, continuing to be an ass, thinks that he’s the “most real player to ever play this game”. I think it’s sour grapes because Joe didn’t pick him.
• Meanwhile, Jenn says that she f’n hates Rodney, and I’m with her. That dude’s gotta go!
• At the picnic, Joe spots a clue in the bottom of a soda bottle that someone else is drinking and, slyly, finagles a way to get the bottle so that he can drink it down while letting the clue slip into his mouth. Clever boy…except, Tyler sees this and, later at camp, Joe feels compelled to read the clue to Tyler, since the cat was out of the bag.
• While sneaking off to share this secret, Mike sees them and follows them to the beach. He subsequently confronts Tyler and Tyler tells Mike everything that the clue says. Now everyone joins in the search for the clue, after being told that Joe had it.
• All the while, Shirin and Dan talk about being big fans, but Dan, in his uniquely inept way, ridicules Shirin and alienates her. What a douchebag!
• Mike is shown eating termites…really? Exactly how much nourishment can he possibly get from a handful of termites? This looks staged by the production people.
• Anyway, Mike finds the idol and cries. Wow, this is too much. He goes into his #happydance. D-U-M-B!
• At the Immunity Challenge, Shirin says that this challenge is custom-made for her. We’ll see.
• Everyone is moving along nicely, except for Rodney. He’s dead last!
• Joe really needs this win, as he’s being targeted again.
• Moron Dan calls out to Jeff that he’s got his puzzle completed…twice! Uh, no Dan, you don’t!
• Ha-ha! Joe wins! He’s a good player!
• In a confessional, Rodney is still crying about Joaquin not being there. I think he’s in love. I hope he’s sent packin’ tonight; that way, he and Joaquin can be together again.
• It looks like Dan may have sealed his fate with his big, misogynistic mouth. The girls target him.
• Dan says, at Tribal Council, that “Flippers never win”, and Shirin, being the huge Survivor fan that she is, counters with an example that proves Dan wrong. No love lost between these two.
• The votes come down to…Dan, with 4, and Hali with 6. WHAT??? No, not Hali. Where did this come from?
• Jenn is extremely sorry for Hali and tells her to “Have a beer for me”. Have I said how much I like this girl?
• At the very end, as they do, Hali is given an opportunity to say a few parting words. Among other things, she says that she is going to have a shot of whiskey and some ice cream. Strange combination, but, to each their own. I do like the whiskey though.
• I think we have us some party girls on the show, this season.
