Survivor: One World, Ep.2 - Kat Fight

"I'm not calling Christina out, but there are people here who are here just to be here." - Kat at Tribal Council.

Kat, either call her out or don't call her out. Don't call her out and say you're not. That's something 12-year-olds do.


Kat would go to the voting booth less than two minutes after that ridiculous attack and complain that Nina had called her out at tribal and that she would never do something like that to her. Indeed! Kat only calls out easy targets, like Christina!


I have a feeling Kat's view of what is fair and unfair is really warped.


I don't think Kat has ever played competitive sports, and it showed. When Jeff asked her why is she a good athlete, she mumbled something about water sports. She didn't say anything about playing team sports in school. So, she doesn't have the experience of containing and controlling her enthusiasm and energy in a physical competition. Have you ever seen a kid play soccer or basketball for the first time? Many of them go wild. They can't control themselves. They are so excited they start running around like a chicken without its head. That is what Kat reminded me of in the immunity challenge - unbridled energy that quickly turned into panic. She completely choked.

Jeff had to help Kat with her answers at tribal council. Two of the women admitted they wish they had a different alliance. Kat's closest ally appears to be the toxic Alicia. She might make the merge because of her alliance, but I don't see how Kat has the skills to win this game.


Having said that, I think the alliance made a defensible choice in keeping her. It is their first vote, and you do want to build trust. Furthermore, I don't think Nina brings much to the table. For reasons unknown, Christina is despised - she goes next. However, the alliance might break over Monica. That's when you have to ask yourself if you really want to keep Kat over her. Because, I think Monica is an asset.


Speaking of Monica, she's starting to impress me. She knew not to make a stand for Nina. It's too early for that. She also didn't vote against Nina or the alliance. She voted for Christina. The tribe seemed to realize that she was the one making the smart suggestions during the challenge. I don't think she's in any danger. I can see her working with Chelsea, Kim or Sabrina later in the game.


Sabrina was completely correct in getting Colton out of their camp. He can come in and say hi once in awhile, but his visits have got to be kept under control.


It sounds like Colton is almost in three alliances. When he made the "misfit" alliance in this episode, he said something about making sure Matt and Mike knew he was still with them so they don't get suspicious. Does he have an alliance with the big guys too as part of their plan to gleam intelligence from the girls? Otherwise, who is their fifth person? Colton? Troy? Hopefully, that gets clarified next episode. Colton also wants an alliance with the girls. That makes three possible alliances he is in. He's everywhere.


I thought both challenges were fair. They were winnable for the ladies. They need to get their act together. 0 for 3 is a tough way to start. It looks like they haven't had any bad weather yet, but it's coming. You need wins to get your spirit through the rains.

BTW, is anybody looking for the second idol? It's day five. Let's go people!
