Survivor Australia: Heroes vs Villains

 

Finally caught up on the show!

This season was WILD.

King George is back again and the biggest idiot...was the smartest player of the season. 

While everyone celebrated a reward of cookies, George went out looking for an idol because he knew everyone was too distracted by the cookies...and he was right. He found one shortly thereafter. 

He knew and anticipated situations before they happened. He knew who would jump ship from his alliance after the merger, knew when people were going to flip and even when he betrayed trust with folks he knew exactly how to rebuild that trust in the same night after tribal. 

Unbelievable. 

People wanted to vote him out at the very first tribal but too many dummies thought they could "use" George as a shield to get to the end...and he almost voted out them all. 

Only at the VERY end was he voted out by the 3 coat tail riders, which made the eventual winner Liz seem pretty lame, since the only move she could claim was voting out George at the end. 

There were clues to immunity idols that looked like the idols themselves and fooled contestants. The funniest thing this season was when Simeon found the clue, thinking it was an idol and quickly....shoved it in his ass before anyone else saw it. 

Yep. 

But it gets better. When he told his friend Jordie about it, the conversation went like this:

Simeon: I found it

Jordie: You found an idol?

S: Yes

J: Can I see it?

S: Not now

J: Where is it?

S: It's in my ass.

J:....it's in your ass?

S: Yeah

J: Can I feel it?

S:......ok

(feels between butt checks)

J: That's amazing

S: I know! So what's the plan?

J: Well first we need to get it out of your ass

S: Yeah. 

NOT MAKING THAT UP!! I laughed so hard and watched it all over again. I may even go back and watch it after I finish this post. Hilarious. 

Other amazing things that happened this season:

- Mimi got voted out while talking down to another player who was about to be voted out. The tribe saw how mean she was and changed their votes on the spot

- Before voting at tribal, the contestants are taken to an impromptu immunity idol challenge  before they vote. 

- Jordie bluffs playing an idol but the tribe calls his bluff and he gets voted out anyway

- They got to vote a council member off before the final tribal 

And the stupidest thing about it was instead of voting someone out the two people with the most votes (basically everyone voted for one person and that person voted for someone else) were put in "Isolation" for 24 hours before the next tribal, to vote again. 

I don't know what the purpose of this was since the tribe could still go up and talk to them, they just weren't allowed to leave their fenced in position until the next day. 

It didn't change anything either the next day so it was completely pointless. 

Even though the ending fell flat, I enjoyed the season and love this version better than the one in the US!

I can't wait to see what's in store next season!
