Survivor: Cook Islands Wk 10

I realize I am two episodes behind. Hopefully, I can get caught up before this Sunday’s finale. Keep your fingers crossed.

The “week ten” edition of Survivor is one I like to call the “Jonathon” show. It was all about how Jonathon survived getting kicked off the island.

Has anyone noticed that Jonathon’s voice is similar to M*A*S*H star Alan Alda? Listen closely next time you get the chance. The cadence and tone smack of one of the best actors of our time.

That said, I’m sick of listening to Jonathon. He thinks too hard. He should have been sent home. If we’re lucky, he may go during episode eleven.

Ignoring how the producers leaned on Jonathon throughout the program this time, his strategy makes sense. He tried to get Aitu to think a bit about their strategy, but they wouldn’t budge. It was an easy decision for Jonathon.

When they sit back at the reunion special next week, the Aitu members are going to have to acknowledge that they were our worked and out played by the Raro team. That said, there are still four Caucasians left!

The Aitu members were comfortable believing (again) that they had the numbers so they were safe. Little did they suspect (duh) that Jonathon would defect (again). Think about it. Aitu members were pretty clear that Jonathon wouldn’t go to the final two. It was obvious that if they were the last five left that he would be the next to go. I’m surprised Parviti and Nate both didn’t jump with the Raro team. Adam and his girlfriend are still expecting to go to the final two together.

Let’s stop a minute and take a tally. Four Caucasians, Two Asians, One African-American and One Latino are left. That’s after Nate was sent home.

I guess I can take Nate being sent home over Jonathon. At the merge, coming a week after Jeff declared “the merge may happen next week or it may never happen”, there were four Raro and five Aitu members. I don’t know who Jeff thought he was fooling. What the “Survivor” team thinks are twists and turns this year are just so much wind.

Here’s hoping that either Jonathon or Adam go home next week. Let’s also hope that the program remains “Survivor” and doesn’t become “All About Jonathon”.
