OHHHHHHHH!!!! Who knows Survivor Y'all!

I called Brenda's demise AND Naonka's (someone close to her) desire to flip! It's all about perceived Power. If you go back this season and look at the list above 7 of the 11 votes have been because the person thought they were in control or were trying to control the game. There has to be a balance between being aware of what is going on, being involved in decision making, and laying low so you are not a target. Then again, maybe Purple Kelly has us all fooled! Ultimate survivor 21...Kelly S!

Next, Way to go Holly! She was not who I expected to stand up and make a big decision. It is actually a good place to be to be able to initiate a decision that removes someone powerful from the game without drawing any attention to yourself. She played everyone else without them even realizing it. I think the only way that works is if you don't even know you are doing it. I really don't know if holly realizes what she did.

Naonka... I am fascinated with this girl. I am so looking forward to her Final tribal council speech. She is going to put Sue's vultures and water speech to shame. I think she needs to watch out though because she is letting pearls slip that she may want to save until then. Chase, "pissed her off to the highest point of Pissed-ivity" SO what exactly does the Pissed-ivity scale look like? I think Kittens are like a zero and apparently a paranoid Chase is one hundred. I think that makes Naonka herself around a 189 on the scale. I tell you what though, Naonka is positioned to make the final three and get no votes. She is the one that has enemies everywhere. The only thing that can stop Nay is Nay herself. According to the previews, it looks like Naonka is about to blow a hole in the roof of the Pissed-ivity scale!

Still loving Survivor after all these years!

Updating the scoring, Aries, Melissa and Rick are doing very well. Kelly S is my only hope so I don't give myself a lot of hope.

I don't have much to say this week...Marty finally lost it and just when he started to think he was getting a little power back. So the topic is Power. Every season at least 2-3 times someone declares (usually in confessional, but occasionally to the group in general to their own peril) that they are in control. This is ALWAYS a mistake. I find that as soon as you think you are in control of the game people start gunning for you. The psychology of it makes sense to me. If someone thinks they are in control, they will act as if they are entitled causing the rest of the players to feel inferior/threatened, even if they are in an alliance with the Powerful. Also, if you know in your deepest heart that you are in control of the game, you will naturally stop looking as closely at what others are doing.

So what can we expect? I expect that soon, Sash and Brenda could find themselves in trouble if they continue to assume they have it all figured out. The only flaw to this is that someone has to decide to take initiative and move against them. Where is that going to come from? Benry? Jud? I don't know but someone should do something sooner than later, it will only get harder.
