Survivor: San Juan Del Sur...Dumb and Dumber

I leave it to you to decide who is dumb and who is dumber.

Good luck.

Survivor: San Juan Del Sur...Who's The Boss?

Question of the week...

When a couple disagrees about an important decision, who gets to make the call?

Jaclyn became annoyed with Alec, Wes, and Keith, who did not accord her what she deemed to be the proper respect due her, and informed Missy and Baylor that the guys' behavior had cost them her vote, as well as Jon's because he would vote the way she told him to.

Meanwhile, Alec's confidence in Jon's ability to keep his woman in line led him to tell Keith that it was unnecessary to talk with Jaclyn about the impending vote because she would vote the way Jon told her to.

Jon responded to Jaclyn's insistence that they not vote with Josh's alliance, because of the way the guys treated her, with the logical argument that voting with Jeremy's alliance would not benefit them at the end of the game, since it was his belief that the Jury would give Jeremy the million dollars instead of them.

Josh's alliance lost its leader that night at Tribal Council, where Jaclyn and Jon cast votes based on Jaclyn's emotion rather than Jon's logic.

Jaclyn was right. Jon voted the way she told him to.

Survivor: San Juan Del Sur...Blood vs Water, The Second One

*Clears throat and recites out loud the following..."I must not judge and therefore loathe this season of Blood vs Water based on the debacle that was the first one."*

Because Survivor was once upon a very long time ago my favorite show on television, I will work at least as hard as Jeff Probst does to be the biggest shit stirrer on the island to identify the positive attributes of this season's questionable beginning.

There are no hasbeens. Unless, of course, you want to be picky and count the two CBS crossovers from The Amazing Race, and an attention seeking ex baseball player that claims he doesn't want to be recognized.

There is no Redemption Island. Mercifully, the obnoxious and irritating people that have been booted from their tribes will not have a safe haven where they are allowed to linger until given the opportunity to weasel their way back into the game.

There is an abundance of things to ponder. Why is a former Miss Michigan dressed to go to the mall instead of for survival in the jungle?

Why does a woman that claims she doesn't want to be known for her boobs leave them in constant danger of falling out of her clothes?

Why does a man make a target out of his wife by announcing that she needs him, defeat her in a challenge that would exile her, and then send the guy that broke his flint with a rock to "take care of her"?

Which brings us to what is clearly the most perplexing of all. Why for the sake of all that is holy in the happy land of reality television do people, after twenty-eight seasons, still stumble onto a Survivor set utterly incapable of starting a fire?

All of these questions have the same answer...human nature. It's what makes us do the questionable things that we do.

And it makes other people want to watch us to see what we'll do next.
