Be Careful What You Wish for out Loud on Survivor

Be Careful What You Wish for out Loud on Survivor by Roxanne McDonald

So wishing for some yummy mashed potatoes and gravy is cause for getting eliminated these days?

Are Survivor contestants running out of authentic reasons to vote someone off the island?

Whilst the ethnic division on the part of the producers is not bringing as much flack as they may have hoped, the boy versus girl theme is running strong. The women conspired to vote off JP last week (week four), to make him an example of how cocky and bossy a man should not be with this group of women. That’ll teach that gender.

So this week, the men are on their best behavior, out-fishing each other, out-firewood-lugging each other, and more…

so the women—whom they realize outnumber them—will think the tribe lost without men.
With no excuse to vote off a man, the Raro tribe is going to have to be a bit more inventive when and if they are fated to go to Tribal Council. They plot against Cristina, who is going the way of JP—not helping enough around camp and instead issuing commands as if she is back home on the police force.

After winning a weight-holding reward challenge, Raro is high on wine and spices they won, and Cristina, prepping the octopi for a feast, drops some back into the water, which will surely make her a target for Tribal Council avengers (on top of her bossy ways). She tries to blame another tribe member, Jenny, who isn’t even with her when the horrible debacle takes place, so Jenny is likely off the hook.

After an Immunity Challenge whereby each tribe must navigate and negotiate a tiny platform suspended in the ocean where all members must fit at once to win, Aitu takes the Immunity Idol, leaving the vengeful and searching for excuses Raro to decide who is out next.

While some nap and others are still thinking Cristina is a must-eliminate, Nate and Stephannie go for more water. Casually chatting, Stephannie muses that “part of [her] could use some mashed potatoes tonight.” Oh. Oh! That’s it. You dreamin’ of luxury foods, luxury items? You wishin’ for some really good music or some A-1 Steak Sauce? You thinkin’ how a change of clothes and a Mr. Bubbles bath would be awesome right about now, over a month in to this savage trial of intestinal and other fortitude? Well, the tribe will speak, folks.

Word is that Aitu was about to ask for some sugar, or looking for some, or seeking some magical fruit that heals…so this writer suggests they too take care to not be thinking of hot fudge sundaes or anything of the sort, lest the mouthpiece for the tribe’s wishes be the next voted off the island.
