SURVIVOR 30 – Episode 1
Right off the bat, I didn’t like or trust Joaquin, and he proved me correct. Of the three tribes to choose between being honest or deceitful, he was the only one who decided to choose to be dishonest. Naturally, he’s from the White Collar tribe. (I’m partial to the Blue Collar tribe). In addition, he convinced So to go along with him, although it didn’t take much convincing. The other tribes chose to do the honest thing and not get a clue to the hidden idol and instead got a larger bag of food. My thought is that it’s too early in the game for such a deceitful act.
So, initially, the white collars tended not to be honest, the blue collar tribe had a guy (Mike) eat a scorpion and then throw-up, and the no collars and blue collars couldn’t agree on how to build a shelter without getting their feelings hurt. Vince, from the no collars is so insecure and paranoid. Dan, from the blue collars, is a dumb, outspoken goof. He surely doesn’t know how to talk to people, especially young people. I’m disappointed with him…so far.
The blue collars got a fire started in the first few minutes. Go blue! The no collars also got a fire going. Two of my choices for the final 5 got them going. As for the white collars? Ha! No fire!
On to the first challenge. No collar won it! They got a fire starting kit. Don’t need it. Second place: blue collar. They won flint…don’t need it. Losers? White collar. They still don’t have fire and they got nothing to start one in addition to losing their first member.
Even with the clue for an advantage, Joaquin and So still didn’t find the hidden idol; Carolyn found it by observing So, and she didn’t have the clue. Around the White Collar tribe, there was the usual deceit, lying and swearing on their New York heritage…whatever that means. Carolyn didn’t buy it. Good for her. So, given all of the mistrust, I really thought Carolyn would use her idol at tribal, but she didn’t What? Would she go home with it in her pocket? Nope; she lucked out and So was the first castaway voted off. Bye-bye So! I didn’t like her. At least her remaining tribe members finally got a flint. Let’s see if they can now start a fire with it.
Actually, there are a few people on this season that I don’t like; par for the course. Why do they have to discriminate against older people just because of their age? I mean, if they aren’t good players or don’t help out around camp, or just plain annoy you, then yes, be against them, but not just because they are the oldest people on your tribe! That’s bullshit!
Next week’s preview has some of the players crying and melting down, already. Geez, what the heck did you sign up for anyway? Ugh!!!

SURVIVOR 30 – Episode 2
Whoa Dan! TMI…gross! So Dan says that he was in the water, trying to do his business, when a wave came and took his drawers. Dropping a deuce in the water? C’mon man, even BobDawg Mason didn’t do that! He went in that Charmin outhouse, that didn’t even have a hole dug for it yet, and did his business there. Go dig a hole for your business and then wash in the water. And to think, I picked Dan to be in my final 5. Ahhh!
So it’s Day 4 and the White tribe finally got fire! It’s about time! I guess they didn’t have to boil their water like in seasons past. Things sure have changed in 15 years! No Max, don’t strip to your birthday suit just to honor past players! Although…I would swim naked so as to clean myself up and to wash my clothes, but not to walk around camp in my birthday suit like Max did. Now one of the girls has gone bottomless and the 2 guys trying to talk to her are dumbfounded and can’t even form a coherent sentence. Hahaha!
I feel bad for Nina because of her hearing disability. She’s trying to fit in, but she has a hard time hearing people talk, so they have to repeat themselves. If they had some consideration, they’d make allowances for her hearing difficulties and make themselves easier to hear when addressing Nina. She also wants to be one of the girls, but they’ll have none of it, and two of them go skinny dipping without her. When they return, Nina flips out on them. I guess the pressure finally got to her. At least Will is showing compassion for Nina.
Just 15 minutes into this episode and already 2 people have been targeted, due to their own actions. Oops, make that 3. So, one person from each tribe has a target on their back. What can I say…dramatic editing?
Yo Mike, slow down and play intelligently, dude! Great, now you can be a target too. Vince is jealous of Joe, not good. How juvenile! And Joe, in conversation with others, calls Vince a loose cannon. See where this is going? It’s alliance time and another player appears to have been targeted. Will it be Vince who goes home, or Dan, or Nina, or…?
Day 6: Immunity challenge time, with a side of a fishing equipment reward. First and second place get something, while the losers get to go to tribal council. Dan said that he wants to prove himself and insists on playing. Well, prove himself, he did. Way to go man! Uh oh, blurred booby time. Bet you thought I was going to say blurred lines, right? You know, that one song made $5,658,214 for Robin Thicke, $5,153,457 was given to Pharrel Williams and $704,774 came to T.I., all profits! It was the biggest hit of 2013. But, I digress.
During the challenge, Jeff sounded like he was losing his voice. You know how he likes to narrate as the players are trying to concentrate on their job. I liked the time when Rob Cesternino told JP to shut up. Haha! That was funny! Will started screwing up in the water and that was a contributing factor in the No Collar’s loss.
The White Collar tribe came from behind to win it, while the Blue Collar tribe came in 2nd. Around camp, it looks like Vince is starting to target Joe, but he changes his mind and wants to go after Jenn. He probably didn’t like the fact that she didn’t succumb to his advances. Jenn thought he was creepy. Joe trusted Will with his plan to split votes, and Will went to Vince and told him about their plan.
Once again, it appears that the younger players are up against the older ones. Jenn talked about having compassion for Nina, but she didn’t demonstrate any, in the least. It was funny when Will told Jeff that “water is a black man’s kryptonite”. That cracked me up! During questioning by JP, Jenn showed tremendous amounts of excitement and said how thrilled she was to be on Survivor. She said that she’s been a fan of the show since she was 8 years old. It was refreshing to see her exuberance.
The votes went down as follows:
Vince 3, Nina 1, Jenn 2. YES! Vince is history! The Coach wannabe is gone in a blindside, baby! See ya Vince! Don’t let a palm frond hit you in the ass on your way down loser’s path!

That's funny!! Feeling for Will! Did Nina say that he has asthma? Hang in there Will!! Dan did move pretty fast. Where did he get the shorts? Poor Tyler having to look at Shirin's bare behind. Loved his line about Max. "Max is an interesting character, he has this little bit of a no collar streak in him. He does whatever he wants, strips down and walks out and cruises around. He brings a little levity, but I don't know how much of it is a show and how much of it is trying to distract us from how smart and how well he knows this game."
