Reality TV

Last week we saw Erik bond with Ozzy.  There they were, Ozzy teaching Erik how to climb trees and collect coconuts.  All the while you could see Erik’s man crush on Ozzy grow even larger than before.  You could see a father/son type relationship developing between the two of them.  Cirie called it a Lion King sort of friendship between the two of them.  Unfortunately for Erik, some animals eat their young.  Being Malakal’s last “fan” won’t have him singing Hakuna Matata for the rest of his days.  If Malakal goes to tribal council again, Ozzy may end Erik’s circle of life. 

1. Ozzy-If there was any doubt about who is controlling Malakal at this point, it was answered last week.  Cirie and Amanda had a chance to blindside Ozzy and didn’t. 
2. Amanda-She keeps talking about stabbing Ozzy in the back.  She also talked a lot about stabbing Todd in the back on Survivor: China and we know how that worked out.  Until she actually does something, it’s all just words.
3. Cirie-She’s “the one who got off the couch”.  I think she’s on her way to the kitchen to grab a knife so she can stab Ozzy in the back after the merge.
4. James-That little wave from Parvati to Amanda after last week’s immunity challenge is a sign the love alliance is alive and well.  He’s also on Airai, which means he never has to go to tribal council.
5. Parvati-She’s in the alliance, but she’s the least trusted of them all.  If the others band together to break up this alliance, Parvati may be the one to go.
6. Jason-His tribe has the numbers, but there are fewer fans than favourites.  I think that will doom him in the end.
7. Eliza-It’s the same story with Eliza-she’s in the right tribe, but her reputation precedes her.  Can she find enough people to trust her?                                       
8. Alexis-She’s staying quiet, but she better not be for long.  If the love alliance is still intact after the merge she could be one of the first ones to go.
9. Natalie-Are Alexis and Natalie the same person?  Every week Alexis and Natalie are in the same boat. 
10. Ami-She’s in Malakal, which means she’ll have to go to tribal council again this week.  If Erik doesn’t go, she will.

Tune in later in the week for a preview and recap of this week’s action.  Don’t forget-it’s on Wednesday this week.  May the tribe speak clearly to you!
