Survivor: Cook Islands - Aired Nov. 30 - Commentary
Okay, Aitu, don't do anything stupid. Candice is gone and that's a good thing. Messing with the plan now would be a bad thing. Is Jonathan annoying and untrustworthy? Sure. But voting someone off because they're annoying is always one of the stupidest things tribes on this show ever do, and if you know someone is untrustworthy, you an use them.
So Raro showed their hypocrisy yet again. They were all over Jonathan for eating Adam's coconut, then all whiny and pathetic when they weren't called out to share the fish he caught. Seriously, Parvaty (I'm not sure how to spell her made-up name and I'm not about to check CBS.com because she tires me enough already) has been there this long already, and she's never seen a fish get cleaned before? And they cry when the people doing the work decide not to give them any food? I'm a liberal in favour of welfare for people on hard times who need it, but these are strong, healthy individuals who have no excuse for not doing any work around camp.
Candice, oh Candice. You turned your back on your tribe and your alliance without even blinking. I'm so glad I don't have to put up with you making Jonathan out to be a lower life form than you for changing his mind.
At least they're trying to strategize, even if they are failing miserably. How lame is it to be concentrating on getting Jonathan out? "I don't mind losing, as long as he's voted out first!" Oh shut up. Adam and Pavertie aren't without real options right now, but they don't seem to be using them. Get in Ozzy and Sundra's ears. Point out the closeness of Yul and Becky, and question how much of a chance they have to get to the final two against them? It might not work so well with Ozzy who can win immunities, but Sundra would be, well, she'd be an idiot to turn. She'd be facing a jury full of Raro and pissed off Aitu if she did. But as we know, people in this game don't always look ahead or at the bigger picture.
Even if turning Ozzy and Sundra doesn't work, they have to try. I'd have a lot more respect for Adam and Povarty if they tried to do something bigger than just trying to outlast Jonathan.
What Jonathan need to do now is to tone himself down. I'd suggest being quiet, but he does need to counter the poisoning against him Raro is going to be doing so keeping his mouth shut isn't an option. A lower profile would be invaluable though. That, and get into people's minds that you're the one they'd want to go to the final two.
As for Aitu, they can't fall prey to the usual trap we see pretty much every season of Survivor there has ever been. An alliance gets the numbers on their side, but before they've cleaned out their opponents, things fall apart. I'd love to see this one make it to the final five with Jonathan. Because he's too useful to have in the final two, it'll be okay if they start voting each other out at that point. If Aitu makes in intact to the final four though, I'll be very happy to see an alliance finally make it, strategy be damned.
But not completely. Adam needs to go next week. Winning immunity this week has shown him to be too much of a threat. And all that said, it wouldn't be too bad if Becky and Sundra team up with a suddenly alone Porvortee and take out Ozzy and Yul the first chance they get. If an alliance is going to fall apart, do it to take out the teammates you have no chance of beating in the final two.
