Rather quick Survivor: Cook Islands Episode 8 Thoughts

Just some quick thoughts, bulletpoint style, about Episode 8. I'll try to come back with a bit more complete post about it, but offer no guarantees.

• Candace=not too bright. Seriously, you can't gut out 5 more days before a likely merge and you get to hang around with your friends? You want to put a target on you and your boyfriend by becoming all cozy with him? Hopefully Parvati is smart enough to stay away from these two.


• with that said, Jonathan=teh stupid. I know why Jonathan did it - Candace was his security blanket in his alliance with Yul, Becky et al. And he had intentions of putting together an all Caucasian final four alliance. But instead he shoots himself in his foot by looking extremely untrustworthy, AND his desired final four alliance is in trouble. His only possible saving grace is if he ends up being a swing vote between Parvati/Adam/Candace and Nate/Jenny/Rebecca.


• Adam can get off of my TV screen right now. His macho-agressive "I want to take a brick to Jonathan's head" is utter bullshit and harkens back to Judd/Jamie/Bobby Joe from Guatemala. It's going to be amusing when he finds out that he got played by Candace on the Jonathan issue.


• I called the Brad eviction. I certainly did not call that he would be the first member of the jury. What exactly this means, I don't know. Because right now, if everybody makes the jury, there would be 10 members of the jury. My guess is that the next 3 people voted out will not make the jury, and we will end up to our normal 7 person jury.


• Anybody cheering on Raro instead of Aitu has no soul. Heck, Ozzy is this close to getting a pass for his stupid throwing of a challenge.


• Who goes next week? I'm going to say Adam in a shocker. We get the Adam/Candace/Parvati vs. Nate/Jenny/Rebecca split, and Jonathan takes out the guy who he finds out wants to get him out.
