Nate Gets Close to Capturing the Nasty Man’s Persona: Calls Jonathan a “Ca-ca Head”

Nate Gets Close to Capturing the Nasty Man’s Persona: Calls Jonathan a “Ca-ca Head” by Roxanne McDonald

Nate pegs the personality of Survivor’s villain—almost–just in time for his exit.

The man has been found out as an actor; he has been exiled as much as they can exile a person; and he has finally been voted off. But as we all know, technically, the show has been over for months now, and while they are keeping mum about who won, the interviewed evictees are speaking some heavy truths.

Nate Gonzalez, voted off Thanksgiving week because of the mutiny by Jonathan Penner (not his first back-stabbing effort by any means), Nate was invited to interview with TVGuide.com. In response to the interviewer refrerring to the swing vote that caused his torch to be snuffed, and a description of Penner as “that sneaky Jonathan,” Nate rephrased with “that sneaky ca-ca head.”

Known for his blunt speech on the island, however, I wonder if the “ca-ca” wasn’t a bit more graphic, a bit more angry adult…as Nate would of course be justified in using.

Don’t worry, man, Jonathan was chastised, confronted, and booted where the ca-ca belongs…. On episode 13, the men and women caught on, or stopped letting him get away with the Janus act: at one point, he is called a “disgusting rat” (and they likely know rats over there in Cook territory); at another, he is given the “cancer”

moniker. Then, at tribal council, when Jeff asks Parvati why Jonathan was elected to go to Exile Island, she very curtly says, “Strategy;” when he asks Ozzy whether it was nice without Jonathan around, Ozzy nods that it sure was; and while Ozzy also adds it is just that Jonathan has a very “strong” personality, which is a weak description for a snake, Adam speaks more definitively (speaking for all of them about to kick his ass out of there—finally), saying that 1) no one wants the guys around (gee, could this foreshadow their voting?), 2) there are six others who deserve to be there, and 3) to Jonathan, who has asked why he doesn’t also deserve to stay on the island, “It’s just your integrity…you don’t have any.”

So, Nate, you know Jonathan was too self-aggrandizing, too falsely proud, to beg in those last few seconds before the lights came down….

Jonathan said that every group needs a “bad guy”, but he wasn’t so much a scapegoat (one who is the butt of the blame, the fallout, the ridicule, the negativity, without actually deserving it), and wasn’t so much a true

villain—like, say, Will on Big Brother… (or even that blonde on Survivor a couple of seasons back, the one who told the group his grandmother had died and got all weepy when she hadn’t. See how memorable these jerks are? LOL.)
If he was, he would have lasted a bit longer, fooling the others and getting the power he needed to really burn them. He was a bit too transparent to be the bad guy that everybody needed. Ca-ca. Poopoo. Those words just don’t do justice, now do they?
