Survivor: Redemption Island, Ep. 6 - The Human Toothache

More gloating from Zapatera at Redemption Island. It's not enough to vote her off your tribe, but does Julie have to grin at Krista all during the duel? It is so off-putting. Show some class. I'm glad throwing the challenge has now completely blown up in their smug faces. I'm finding that tribe pretty unlikeable.

Why is Philip yelling at the girls? First, that has never accomplished anything. Secondly, as Rob said, you want people who don't do anything. You want them sitting around camp, and you want them sitting next to you at the final tribal! Phillip has no idea what he is doing.

Grant's complete domination of the immunity challenge is an example of the difference between a buff dude and a professional athlete. Mike is in great shape, but Grant's an athlete. It also didn't hurt that Grant's NFL position was wide receiver - a job that requires, running, cutting, creating separation, and catching floating targets. It would be hard to design a challenge closer to Grant's strengths.

I would have voted Stephanie out. I don't think the gap between Stephanie and Sarita in the challenges is all that big - and Stephanie is almost a guarantee to flip when you reach the merge. Stephanie is better TV, but I would have given her the boot - no doubt.

It's becoming pretty clear that they are not going to mix up the tribes. However, we're reaching the point where tribal votes might become interesting again. I think Zapatera would vote out Dave next. I think Ometepe would vote out Philip. He's becoming dangerous to keep around. You can't control him once they merge. He could do something devastating. However, neither Philip or Dave are guaranteed to be the next to go, so the next episodes might have a little more drama than the last two
