Not Surviving
Have you been getting your fill of Survivor this season??? If you missed last week’s episode, you missed one of the greatest blind-sides of Survivor history.
This prick Erik, I call him a prick because of the audacity and general a-hole-ishness he spewed as the two tribes merged, got a slap in the face for the ages.
As the tribes merged Erik made the mistake that so many have made before him, believing his comrades were loyal. This is nothing new at a Survivor merge, time and time again the tribe that outnumbers the other going into the merge, sits back not expecting the backstabbing madness they are about to be a part of. Many fall victim pacified by their blissful ignorance, but this prick took it to a whole knew level.
He talked to the other tribe like they were dogs scrambling for food, which they were considering their numbers, but come on man… you don’t talk to people the way he did, EVER! Unless you’re The Godfather… and unfortunately for Erik, he had no Sunny to back him up…
Going into Tribal Counsel, Erik continued to spew trash talk from his high and mighty pedestal… Blatantly disrespecting the outnumbered team and grinning like a fool all the while…
Then came the vote… and with the exception of his own and “completely out of the loop” Shambo’s, Erik was unanimously banished from Survivor. I thought that the golden rule of Survivor, don’t step on toes and be humble, was known to everyone… especially being that this is like season 400… Well Erik I cheered, got up and danced as I pointed at the TV when you were evicted… and kudos to Survivor for continuing to supply great programming in this age of blah TV.
If you’ve never given Survivor a chance, a chance being watching at least half a season, I would whole-heartedly recommend you go start watching some episodes online(don’t ever start watching midseason though)

HaHa! That was a well deserved blindside! You should watch the Ponderosa clips on CBS. You get to see his reaction to being voted off (first member of the jury)…is it me, or isn’t it way too early to start the jury?
jury, really??? it does seem early. if he is on the jury, his vote will be a serious toss up…
