Survivor: Cook Islands Wk 1
Last night was the first of a new, and much discussed, season of Survivor. Ever since Jeff Probst leaked that tribes were divided by race, people have been fussing, complaining and pulling sponsorships.
Now, lets see if it leads to the true rewards challenge: ratings success.
The first couple shows of the season are always the toughest because you don't know these people. It is interesting that three of the four biggest personalities had difficulties from the start.
The jazz musician, a huge, tough talking, tough thinking fellow was voted out. It figures (I love jazz). He sealed his own demise by stumbling around the island shouting "I need a break!" when the others wanted his help. It would be hard for me to want to keep him around.
The middle-aged white guy was sent to "Exile Island". It figures (I'm a middle-aged white guy). He wasn't very convincing when he told the member of Puka that he didn't know they rescued the chicken from they ocean.
My only disappointment is not seeing them kill and cook the chickens. That would have been interesting.
The roller girl let the chickens loose. That torked off the middle-aged white guy, and probably bothered the others, too. Odds are, if they go to tribal council, roller girl will be the first to go.
"Cowboy" is a vietnamese who appears to have an interesting back story. He was on the winning side, but is so different from his Puka counterparts that he is going to have a rough ride.
My theory at this point is that one tribe will stay together through mergers, etc. through the final four. That won't make for an interesting show, but it is what I am expecting at this point.
Except for practically no discussion of the Cook Islands and very little display of "Exile Island", the show is off to a good start. However, it isn't a great start. On a ten point scale, it started at a seven.
In the meantime, let me know what you think. And let's see what happens next week.
