Well I was waiting to see which prima-donna would fold first - who knew four survivors would have fallen before the fourth episode! Oh the games have begun and I'm in my element!
Christina Storm was the first to win my 'The Biggest Prima Donna on Santa Carolina Award' after she walked off the island on the first episode... Did she forget that she had a little girl when she agreed to do the show? Or perhaps she, like a few of the skeptics out there, thought there would be some pampering once the cameras stopped rolling... Fail!
But the best part of episode one my lovelies was that the drama didn't stop there. Christina had walked away voluntarily so the tribe still had to vote someone else off the Island.
This leads us to big man Granite's departure, which was a bit more believable. He had an accident out on the coral and got himself a nasty cut that resulted in a mild infection. His tribe-mates claim to have felt sorry for him (but i suspect they followed Gigi's line of thought which was that he would eat more than anyone else and do less in his injured state). They joined forces and voted him off the island, proving the age-old adage 'the bigger you are the harder you fall'.
So that's how episode one saw two contestants leaving the show. I thought things would calm down and one survivor a week would do the walk of shame... But again, I was wrong!
In episode two Jub Jub seemed to spend a lot of time thinking up excuses... er reasons... as to why he should leave the game. He didn't seem to have the proverbial balls to just say he was over it, instead he told everyone and anyone who would listen about his infected jewels, (if you live anywhere but under a rock you must have seen the newspaper headlines and the trending Twitter topics).
The story of his pickled package broke after he was told by the island medics that the tiny coral cut he got wouldn't get infected... You have to admire his resourcefulness though no cameraman in his or her right mind would ask him to drop his rods to inspect his... well... rod. Jub Jub decided that the best thing for him to do was to go home, look after his (infected) manhood, family and career.
Seeing as he left the island voluntarily his tribe still had to vote someone out. Cindy Nell Roberts put herself under the spotlight by being the quintessential independent, self-sufficient Survivor. The other people on her tribe saw her as a bit of a threat and joined forces to make sure it was her torch that got extinguished at the second tribal council.
So that my faithful readers is how no less than FOUR Survivors have fallen in two episodes! I can't wait to see what happens next week. Some South African celebrities aren't as tough as they seem. Which celebrity are you backing in this season's Survivor? post a comment and I'll let you know who my money's on.
