Survivor: Samoa

[srmom]

Is there even another tribe this season? Besides showing up for the immunity challenge, there wasn't much shown of them - except for Shamu losing the snorkel mouthpiece.

By the time there's a merge, we'll all be asking who those folks are!!

I know! After Betsy made her comment about how Ben shouldn't look for help if he gets pulled over in NH, I looked up the cast information to see exactly where she was from in the state (because I grew up there). Well, I started looking at all of the cast members, and I didn't even recognize half of the names... or faces, really. In two episodes, we haven't seen much of the other tribe at all.

I just don't get the tirade from Yasmin. Sure, at the moment they couldn't do anything to her, but what happens if they do a tribal switch (hello, Yas, have you never watched the show - it happens often) and she ends up with a bunch of FoaFoa. Or, FoaFoa could get their act together and end up ahead of the numbers game at the merge - and she would be an easy target, since they don't really "know" any of the other people.


Speaking of tribal switches - I don't remember one last season. It feels like thy only do it when the pecking order has become blatantly obvious.

Yasmin completely blew it when she went over to Foa Foa. Instead, she could have put her differences aside and try to get into some pre-alliances (kind of like what Brendan did at Exile Island), but nope, she pretty much had to antagonize the other team.

Pretty dumb and short-sighted, considering the history of Survivor and how they like to mix up the teams, prior to the merge.

Sigh......

Yasmin is the one from Detroit, right? If so, they interviewed her on the radio before the season premiere and they specifically asked her about Russell. They said something along the lines of "We hear there's the biggest villain ever on the show this year, did you get to know him?" and her response was "I met him, but I never had to live with him" That seems like she leaked some info to me because that would mean 1) One of them didn't make it to the merge 2) They were not on the jury together and 3) they were booted off far enough from each other that they weren't at loser lodge together either. That makes me think that either one of them gets to the jury (assuming the jury folks are kept separate from the other losers) and the other leaves much earlier or one of them leaves early and the other makes it to the final 2/3.
