Survivor Fans vs. Favorites: Eliza is Eliminated
This week, the tribes merged into one. After a merge feast, they decided to live at the Malakal camp. Jeff told them to come up with a new name and Erik threw out “Dabu,” saying it meant “good” in Micronesian. Now first of all, I don’t think Micronesian is a language, so that would have tipped me off to the fact that Erik was full of it. But what was so funny was the rest of the tribe jumped on that. Then, Erik tells the camera “Hell no I didn’t look up Micronesian” and said he just made it up. That was too funny!
Alexis started snuggling up to Ozzy, which ticked off Amanda. Ozzy didn’t seem to notice there was a problem, but Amanda now wants Alexis gone. Parvati also ticked off Amanda by informing her that she had made an alliance with Alexis and Natalie – while Amanda was at the other camp. It seems like Parvati has an alliance with everyone, which could get her in trouble eventually.
The immunity challenge was to get under a grate and as the tide came in more and more, you had to rely on breathing through the grate. That is, until the grate was partially covered and then you had to breath by making a hole with your hands. The girls all were out early, although Cirie lasted longer than I thought she would. James and Ozzy put up a good fight, but in the end, it was Jason of all people that won.
Jason and Eliza got close, for lack of having anyone else. He told her he found the hidden immunity idol. This part of the show was almost as funny as when Erik made up the Dabu tribe name. Eliza asked for the idol because she overheard people talking about voting for her. Jason showed Eliza the idol and she said, “This isn’t it” then confronted Jason by saying “What are you trying to pull?” I loved it when she told him Ozzy made that and it was “just a stick.” Really – I haven’t seen all seasons of “Survivor,” but even I knew that the producers weren’t going to put some crummy stick out as the idol. Jason should have known better!
But, Eliza really had no option except to try to play it at Tribal Council. Jeff told her that it wasn’t the hidden idol and tossed it into the fire. Almost immediately, she blurted out that Ozzy had it. He admitted he did by saying it took him hours to carve it as Jeff threw it into the fire.
It seems as though the fan and favorites alliances are over.
