Survivor Nicaragua

This season is killing me.

Why in the world did Chase, Holly and Sash volunteer their strategy the way they did? At this point, Holly is the only one of the three who seems to have their strategic wits about them, and that's not saying a whole lot.

I'm really pulling for Fabio at this point. I've been silently cheering him on for most of the season, but the exchange between him and his mom clenched it for me. Go, dude! Bring home the million bucks!!!

Now, about Jeff's blog. I usually really enjoy it. I look forward to reading it every week. I was a bit disappointed in this week's, though. I'm wondering if he's through wasting mental energy blogging about this season's idiots.

Because Chase, who plays emotionally (like we were reminded in the "Previously on Survivior" intro this week) can't keep his mouth shut, and he forced Sash and Holly to chime in or sit there and look dumb.

BTW, spoiler-free speculation is that CBS basically telegraphed who is in the Final 3 in the commercial promo this week. I won't say more here, but check it out if you want to.

I haven't seen a commercial promo other than the "Next time... on Survivor" plug at the end of the last episode. I did notice in that, though, that there's a scene of only four survivors carrying their torches. I don't know whether it's accurate to assume the fifth person has been voted out, since s/he could've just been the last person in the line (and simply left out of the shot).

Is there another promo out there? (I looked briefly, but didn't do any in depth hunting.)

Yes, there is another promo -- the one they show as a commercial during other shows. I can't find it online though. PM me if you want info about it.

I finally watched it just now - but it was ruined for me because I checked the Charlotte Observer's website yesterday for a review on our Messiah performance (which I missed this week's episode for) and they had a picture of Jane on the front page. I didn't read the headline, but it was fairly obvious without it.

As for Jane - I really wish they would have let her keep unloading on everyone at TC. Maybe she did, and they didn't show it. Her "jury questions" are going to be interesting. Especially if Chase makes it to the Final 3.

One final thought for now: I've never seen such a gigantic strategic vacuum in my life. I think my 4 year old uses more strategy playing one round of Candyland than these people have used all game.
