Well...that was...another episode. At least Bhanu wasn't around to whine about it.
I consider myself a 'fan' of Survivor, I have seen almost all of them. I didn't recall about 3/4 of the NAMES of the shows, much less would have been able to put them in any kind of order. I'd likely have gotten the very first one, and that's it.
I guess just watching the season then forgetting about it does not a fan make.
I was kinda hoping that Yanu would lose again. Just 'cause. Though tonight's episode brings up something I was thinking about the other day. WHY does Yanu not have fire yet? I get that they haven't had their flint, but...that's not the only way to get fire. Plenty of Survivors have rubbed sticks together in coconut husk to make fire. On top of that...they get their torches at the end of Tribal. Are they just incompetent that they can't keep a fire going? Or do they blow their torches out, without considering that they could use them to get fire.
I still think that Jem should have buried the box for her other tribe mates to find. But her tribe mates were also stupid about this. For something to have been buried to be found, it has to have been dug up first. The dirt would be loose and where to dig or how deep would be evident.
This was also evident with Jem's clue. She had no need to measure anything or do any math at all. The key point of that clue was "from the box bury point towards the ocean". That's only one direction. She could have walked that direction and looked for ground that looked disturbed or was 'soft'.
And she'd totally have found, about 20-odd paces away, the clearly disturbed, cleared of debris patch of soft dirt in the pathway, which was exactly where here key had been hidden.
I also kind of wish that they hadn't showed some of the previous players. Reminded me of how good they were, and how this current crop can't hold a candle to them.
