Well that sucks... and I'm not talking about the show. I just finished typing this weeks blog and blogger screwed up and I lost the entire thing. I guess it didn't save any draft copies. Anyway, now to try again.
So the show starts out as it always does and it shows the losing tribe returning after tribal council and who opens their mouth, NaOnka of course. Then she ruins a majority of fruit trying to get the clue to the hidden immunity idol, which she has no prayer of figuring out, because she is just plain stupid, or is that Hood, not Ghetto. Right! That girl doesn't have a functioning brain and I can't remember any player that I have despised more, and I have despised quite a few. I hope her alliance comes to grip the fact that she is a cancer, (although probably the perfect person to sit next to in the finals), and votes her out.
At the challenge, La Flor took a big risk not using the Medallion of Power, but it worked out as Benry came back on his second round and dominated. Tyrone dominated early and once he started missing, he should have stepped back and let someone else go, but pride got in his way. Despite what he says it was all about Tyrone Davis and his ability to win the challenge. No one will know for sure if they would have won if they would have but Jimmy T or someone else in earlier. I was really rooting for Espada, because I didn't want the previews to be right.
At Espada's camp, Marty announced to everyone that he had the idol and the tribe would be better for it, but it was Jill's idea and there is no way he would have done it without her prompting him to. It worked out pretty well for the most part, but we'll see how it all plays out. Marty got his wish by sending Jimmy J home, but I really think Dan was the smarter choice. Jimmy J may not have been the most physical and he didn't cost them in the challenges, but he is a great leader and motivator and I think that tribe needs that. Marty wants everyone to come to him, but if he is smart, he'll let Jimmy T be the vocal leader and he can pull the strings from the shadows.
I really think that everyone is expecting the tribes to remain old vs. young, but I would not be surprised in the least if they did a tribal swap and I give it two weeks. The reason I think that is that they don't want to keep it going this way too long, as it will be uneven and since they haven't done a tribal swap in the last few seasons, it would be a surprise to most of them. It will also throw a monkey wrench into both alliances and hopefully cause NaOnka to be sent home earlier. Based on the face time she has been getting, I think it is a real possibility that she is leave sooner than later.
Only time will tell and while I'm disappointed with who was sent home, I'm still enjoying the season, despite it being on Wednesdays. Couldn't watch it as it aired because I was at church, but I recorded it.
So until next week... the Tribe has spoken.

Survivor Nicaragua - Episode Two - And you thought Wendy was bad!
Well another tribal council and whole lot said that shouldn't be said. I loved Jeff's comment, "first time in 21 seasons an opening question leads to so much whoop ass!" Love it! That is why Jeff is the best reality show host, bar none.
Holly had her little breakdown and Jimmy J was right there to be the coach that he is. He is an asset to that tribe and they are dumb if they vote him out soon. Jimmy T is an idiot who thinks the world revolves around him. Jill made a bold move by giving the clue to Marty and I think that has helped both of them in this game. I think Marty will honor that trust and keep her close and that has made him a lot more powerful. He was also smart the let Jimmy J take charge. I think he is the player to watch on that tribe.
Espada was smart to use the Medallion of Power, but I think they could have won the challenge without using it, but it really all depends on who else would have had to go through the mud and how fast they found the ball. Tyrone was money once he held onto the ball. Benry on La Flor started out great, but then he started to look like Shaq or Dwight Howard at the free throw line.
All in all I think the older tribe has it together pretty well and Holly is the only question. Holly could have made back a few points when admitting what she did if she had gotten the shoes first and cleaned them up the best she could, but Dan will be gunning for her. If he is smart, he'll let it slide, but either way I don't see Holly sticking around too long, unless Espada goes on a winning streak and she doesn't do anything else stupid.
Now lets move to La Flor. Missing socks... maybe Russell Hanz is hiding on the island somewhere. Let's justify it by stealing someone elses socks and then when Fabio goes to calming talk to her about it, NaOnka flips out, before he even says a word. One word describes her... CANCER. She must be the next to go and from the previews, it doesn't look like she mellows out next week either.
Chase is not real bright either. It's one thing to have two alliances, but it is another thing to come right out and say it at TC. He needs to watch his back, but the only thing that will keep him there now is his strength. If they take him out next, the tribe is full of morons.
I think Wendy snuck back into TC with a muscle suit on, because Shannon just doesn't know when to shut up. Not only did that cost him the game (although I'm not convinced his TC tirade changed any minds as much as his taking charge at camp did) it cost the tribe a strong player for challenges. He too was a cancer though, because he did a whole lot of destruction in his tirade and for that reason, it was a smart move. Personally I think I would have taken Nay out first and kept Shannon's physical strength on the tribe, but they both need to go.
So episode two rocked and made up for an average first episode and it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. If all is as it is portrayed (the producers wouldn't lead us astray would they, LOL) then Espada should run away with it, but unless it really is that obvious, I'm sure La Flor will rebound or there will be a tribal swap to change the game up. Speaking of tribal swaps, there hasn't been one for a few seasons, so it probably would come as a surprise and I can't imagine them leaving them separated by age the whole game.

Survivor Nicaragua - Episode One
Well we are off to a new season of Survivor and I'm liking it already. I'm still learning everyones names, but I loved the intro where they thought they were two tribes and the search for the Medallion of Power, then only to be switched up. I like it when they keep them off guard.
I think the young group, La Flor, are cocky and I think that will catch up with them. I do think they made a smart move to take the flint and fishing gear over the Medalion, especially since it goes to the other tribe once it is used.
My first impressions of the tribes:
La Flor: Like I said earlier I think they are cocky, but that is normal. I think Jud is a doofis and Kelly B will be a good player, if they don't vote her out due to her leg. It will be interesting to watch Chase to see if he will be a good player or not. The rest of them I didn't get a good feel for yet.
Espada: Overall I like this tribe. Jimmy T. got on my nerves and Marty could be another one that will over time, but I really like Jane and Holly. I was glad to see Jimmy Johnson stick around because I think he will be a great motivator for this tribe. I also agree that he can win this game, if he makes it to the end, but I don't think he will. Wendy shot herself in the foot, when she opened her mouth. I don't think it would have turned out any better if she would have been herself and I'm not even sure it would have turned out better if she had kept her mouth shut at tribal, but she was the smart move to get rid of tonight. Personally I think the tribe made the wise move not using the medalion, because they may need it next time and if they used it, they would have been at the bigger disadvantage next time. Granted they did lose, and it did seem like it was fairly close, so using it may have given them the win, but you never know.
Overall, I'm glad the show is back on, although I wish it was still on Thursdays, and it does look like it will be a good season. I am keeping my eye on Yve from La Flor and Holly on Espada. Holly gets my attention because she was smart to shed her alliance and vote with the tribe and if she always thinks that way, she should go far.
