Survivor: Is it a blind-side or just voting out someone who is really self-involved?

By jubilena317

Jeff Probst keeps touting this season as one of the best seasons in Survivor history, in part because of the record number of blind-sides that will occur in tribal council.  After just two episodes, I’m beginning to think that these aren’t blind-sides as much as they are voting out people who are extremely self-involved.  Let’s take a look back at the first victim, Carolina.  She wasn’t exactly in tune with the other people on her tribe and really just wanted to whine about things all day.  Every member of her tribe voted for her to go home, so I’m not sure that it’s a blind-side.  I think in this case Carolina ignored the warning signs (eye rolls, people getting up and leaving when you approach them and/or start talking) and continued to think that she was a useful and helpful tribe member.  Last night, Candace was voted off.  She’s no different, other than the fact that she is an educated woman.  Anyone who feels the need to bring up the fact that they are an educated woman is clearly over-compensating for something.   Anyway, she’s another one who didn’t see the eye rolls and sense that peope were tiring of her.  Everyone on her tribe also voted for her to go home.

Also, I’m kind of pissed that we know this season has a record number of blind-sides because it ruins the episode.  If you hear people mention that they want to vote out so and so because they’re weak, but wouldn’t it be great to vote out so and so instead, you’re going to know it’s the latter going home.

    Why do you still watch this show?! You should be writing ABC telling them what idiots they are for cancelling Pushing Daisies instead!

    survivor is consistently good. there have been some off seasons, but they are few and far between.

    pushing daisies is over–you need to move on. it will get easier though. the first cancellation is always the most difficult to deal with.
