I KILLED SOMETHING Y’ALL
Little ole Natalie is really coming of age out in Samoa.
Natalie killing the rat is one of my favorites moments of all time.
It’s wrong on so many levels but never ever fails to make me stop what I am doing and watch.
If you pitched this as the opening scene to a new [...]

Erik just told us that his arrogance was only aimed at Foa Foa as a tactic to discourage them. He was actually humble around camp. He had no idea that the blindside was coming. He still harbors animosity towards his tribe for voting him out.
Shambo was not a very good player, but she was [...]

In Galu, Laura’s canteen is missing. Shambo feels that Laura is accusing her of losing it and notes that the pair have not being getting along – “There’s some little power struggle going on and I don’t understand it”.
Shambo explains to camera that it wasn’t a fight about canteens but about how Laura treats her [...]

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: The Galu tribe has performed very well throughout the competition. Why has your tribe been so successful?
A. Erik: From day one, Russell S. and I got together. Russell… what a tough, legit, headstrong winner. He told me, “You have my back and we’re gonna go through this game. By the time we’re [...]

It was too bad he gave into his paranoia and played his hidden immunity idol at tribal council when he didn’t receive a single vote. And with Laura sliding by this week, it looks like she’ll be gunning for him during the next tribal.
That just proves that Russell’s instincts were right — which is why [...]

Things seem to be going well but Russell runs his mouth a bit too much. Within seconds of being there, he shows the idol to Laura, Monica, and John… and doesn’t seem to be getting very far with any of them. His best bet right off the bat would’ve been Shambo, who is very much [...]

Okay, so let’s talk about last night’s crazy episode. What happened, from your perspective?
They lost their damn minds. They just went crazy. They broke my heart. It was so tough. I haven’t felt so brokenhearted since a girl in college came back from a year overseas, a girl I was totally in love with, and [...]

Now, I know Russell is a snake in the grass. But each week I have to begrudgingly give him credit for playing the game and realizing what the show is all about. He’s a bit like a slimier country boy Richard Hatch, albeit not gay and (thankfully) he keeps his clothes on. I like to [...]

My sister and I have had a long tradition of Friday morning phone calls where we dish about the crafty craftiness of the previous night’s “Survivor.” We used to call it the magical deliciousness. But the current season in Samoa has been neither magical or delicious. Actually, it’s been sort of tough and chewy.
But last [...]

SOMEBODY COCKY GETS BLINDSIDED
Erik was such a fun guy to have in the game, he has a huge heart and that was fun to watch. It may also have been his downfall.
He bled Galu purple to such a degree that I think he forgot that it is… an individual game. You have to make [...]

The tribe has blindsided you: Bartender Erik Cardona, 28, was voted out of the newly merged tribe, and became the first jury member and this season’s biggest blindside. “Wow, wow, wow,” he said after being voted out while holding a hidden immunity idol, which he didn’t play because “you can’t defend against something that’s invisible.” [...]

Galu
Shambo perceives some kind of “90210-little-young-thing” going on and that there’s a power struggle. Shambo talking-heads that it’s like the snotty cheerleaders who won’t let you into their circle. Oh my god, Shambo is stuck back in 1979 when she was a freshman in high school and everyone was mean to her. This is not [...]

Are the numbers still in Galu’s favor? Yes. Will someone from Galu still win? Probably. But that doesn’t change the fact that when you start fires this early, you get burned. Just ask Erik.
My favorite thing of the entire ordeal was…. Well, scratch that — my favorite thing of the entire ordeal was actually [...]

Shambo is upset that the plan to take out Laura is off the table for tonight. With the plan on hold, a new target for tonight must be generated. Shambo doesn’t want to get rid of Monica and Russell thinks that he might want to play his idol tonight.
John tries to discuss with Erik [...]

Next, they showed more commentary with Russell and Shannon. Russell suggested Monica, but Shannon said there’s no way that’s going to happen. Laura talked to Erik about getting rid of Jaison.
There were all kinds of deals and names being thrown around because so many people had their own agenda in mind,and people they didn’t trust. [...]

Therefore, it’s really ironic that the “big strategic move” in this episode was more or less Jaison wanting to throw a couple of votes Erik’s way simply because he didn’t like the guy. Erik was cocky, devious, and willing to stab pretty much anyone and everyone in the back. Of course, Jaison didn’t know that [...]

Erik Cardona was eliminated from “Survivor: Samoa” on the week eight episode, Nov. 5, 2009. Erik is the first person of the “Survivor: Samoa” jury.
The elimination came as a huge shock to Erik, who thought he ruled the roost. Probably the reason they got rid of him, which means the other ruler of the roost, [...]

Erik thought he had it all in the bag, running his mouth about evicting Monica and then being a total jerk in the tribal council. He did manage to scare Russ into using the idol but that was just a bonehead move on Russ’s part. I was so happy to see him leave and was thrilled to see Jaison vindicated. [...]

At the immunity challenge the contestants competed in a game of Survivor teeball. The two highest scorers would win immunity – one man and one woman. Dave was the first guy up. He hit a 3. Jaison went off the course. Russell took the lead with a 4. All of the guys were out of [...]
