Oh, kay. This is why Survivor can sometimes drive me crazy (racist?). While marching to tribal council, Steve makes a very reasonable appeal to Natalie and Ashley. Basically, it goes like this: Rob is the strongest player in the game. Ralph and I are voting for him. As soon as we're gone, he's going to turn on you guys, and you're all going to be played. Vote with Ralphmeister and I, flip the game around, and head into the last ten days from a position of strength, instead of heading for the homestretch as Rob's puppets.
And do the girls even consider it? Of course not. 'CAUSE HARDLY ANYONE PLAYS THE GAME! No one takes any initiative. Which is why, I think, last season was pretty intriguing--Sash and Brenda going strong, til Holly made her move and flipped the tribe on Brenda. Then Jane going bonkers and calling out everyone. For heavens sakes, even Dan (Dan!) was scheming there for awhile, and during the entire episode you had characters like Marty making plays and shaking things up. Lots of initiative.
This season? Forget about it. Rob's calling the shots, and no one has any perspective. In the end, only one person wins--but for some reason Natalie and Ashley are under the impression that six people will win, and no one will have to do anything to save themselves once all the ex-Zap's are gone.
So the question remains: Who'll make a move? Given what we've seen so far, it seems like no one. Maybe Grant might, but he's actually in position to do really well if he just stays quiet. Same with Phillip. So Andrea, Ashley, Natalie, this one's on you. Is there going to be any intrigue this season? Let's all hope so.
