Spoilers follow if you didn’t catch Sunday night’s Survivor
yet.
Anyway, our consensus was that this season’s crop of contestants
was uninspiring. Over at the Amazing
Race, of the final four couples, all teams contained at least one a**hole and
some teams had two. The team that won—Rachel
and Dave—was indeed the strongest and most deserving based upon their performance
in the game. But we just didn’t warm up
to them and never wanted to actively root for them.
In Survivor, Kim took the honors, and in retrospect she did
play a masterful game and was the most deserving. But again, we never felt “That Kim is awesome—she
should win.” I guess what struck me most
about this season’s Survivor was the herd mentality. I mean, why on earth did
Colton have any acolytes at all, ever?
Why would somebody be swayed by anything he would say? Yet he was a kingpin until felled by a
medical evac. But it think he’ll be back
for another season.
And as for Kim, it never seemed to occur to any of the other
players to challenge her. It was like
she wore the crown the whole time and the worshipful subjects just did her
bidding.
Of course, all this is easy to speculate about now. I’ve never been hungry in the jungle for a
month.
