Survivor: Worlds Apart is really shaping up well.
This season has quite the cast of characters. Plenty of personalities butting heads about perfectly dumb things. Episode 2 certainly delivered more of this. Here's the quick rundown on what happened on Wednesday night.
Episode 02 Quick Rrecap:
-Mike (oil driller) from Blue Collar gets all upset that people aren't working enough around camp. Nobody seems to agree with him, and he's getting annoyed.
-Vince (coconut vender) wants Joe to validate Vince's contributions to the tribe.
-Max (media consultant) from White Collar decides he's the next Richard Hatch (and/or Tyson Apostol) and starts walking around and swimming naked.
-Shirin (Yahoo exec), also on White Collar, won't be outdone and starts going bottomless.
-Dan (postal worker) from Blue Collar somehow loses his man-panties while he's in the water on the beach, so he fashions an awkward shirt-diaper.
-Nina (hearing advocate) on No Collar wants to be included, but the younger women on the tribe don't invite her to go skinny dipping and she starts feeling left out.
At the challenge, teams must individually swim out, maneuver a ball along a rope over and through obstacles, then score 5 in a goal, basketball style. White Collar does much better, surprisingly excelling at this physical challenge as opposed to last week's partial mental challenge. They win. Blue falls behind for a bit, but No Collar drops behind when Will gets tangled and/or tired while untangling the rope for the ball in the water. It comes down to a shootout between Blue and No. Blue had the lead and No never makes a shot. No Collar loses and will go to tribal council.
No Collar camp has plenty of scrambling. Nina wants to join forces with Will and Vince to vote against the younger faction of Joe, Hali, and Jenn. Joe wants Will to vote with them so they can split the vote between Nina and Will. Will is the swing vote. Vince questions if Will should stay though, because he didn't look good in the challenge. Nina agrees to ask him about it. This only makes Will suspicious of Vince. The vote ends up 3-2-1 (votes for Vince, Jenn, and Nina). Vince is the 2nd person voted out of Survivor: Worlds Apart.
Best Moves:
Best #1: Dan lightens up thanks to the lost underwear. This might be too little too late though, as the girls think he may have done it on purpose.
Best #2: Blue Collar ignores Mike's pleas for them to all work. They play makeshift basketball instead. It turns out to be great practice for the challenge a few days later.
Honorable Mention: Max starts a nudist movement. Who knows if this will help, hinder, or do nothing for him in the future. But it does help to alter the mood at camp, for better or worse.
Speaking of worse ... Worst Moves:
Worst #1: Mike is annoyed and keeps telling everyone to do more at camp. If you want to work, go ahead. Don't get on the nerves of all your tribe-mates.
Worst #2: Nina asks Will if his health is good and blabs that Vince is concerned about it. This man is your best chance to stay in this game, so you shouldn't give him reason to distrust anyone in your alliance.
Worst #3: Nina thinks she's being left out because she is disabled. She's being left out because the 2 other women on the tribe are 27-29 years younger than she is - it's a generational thing.
Top 4 Prospects:
Last week I listed Carolyn, Max, Will, and Lindsey. Not a bad group.
Here's my new top - quite different. It's hard to zero-in on the best this early on this season.
1) Carolyn - White Collar. She didn't get much air time because she isn't doing anything controversial or stupid. Expect her to last longer.
2) Hali - No Collar. Part of the majority alliance and not the one directly butting heads with anybody. She has a good chance of fitting in with the other tribes after a merge or mix-up.
3) Joe - No Collar. Had him in the bottom last week. I was wrong - the bad mojo was all Vince. He's well liked and has skills, despite his shooting in the challenge.
4) Sierra - Blue Collar. Performing well in this latest challenge, she may continue to stand out this season. She's overly skeptical of people's stories, so let's hope she can eventually trust someone.
Bottom 4 Prospects:
Last week I listed Dan, Joaquin, Vince, and Joe. Vince was voted out. Here's my new bottom.
16) Mike - Blue Collar. Has alienated his entire tribe and replaces Dan at the bottom of the list.
15) Nina - No Collar. This lady is a ticking time bomb. She felt left out when she still had allies, so she's going to feel even more alone next week. Expect more tears - never good in Survivor.14) Dan - Blue Collar. Although episode 2 went better, his team hasn't fully come around.
13) Shirin - White Collar. Odds are good that if they lost a challenge again, she's the most likely target as the weakest. Plus I don't think anybody on the tribe was into her performing chores wearing only a bra. I've seen it compared to Donald Duck online. Poor Tyler and Joaquin were having a tough time with it.
