Survivor Winners at War Week 6 Review and Player of the Week
Double the Tribal Councils should mean double the fun right? Depends on who you ask. I’m here to break it all down once again.
A Rob-Less Vacation
Adam proclaims “The Wicked Witch Is Dead” but fears he may be the odd one out. Ben follows up his confessional about improving his social game with Adam feeling like Ben is giving him the cold shoulder. Survivor is all about decisions, and many of them are far from clear cut particularly at the time you make them. That’s what Adam has to get through if he is to make it to the merge.
Mariano Reunion
Of course Rob and Amber were going to team up on the Edge of Extinction task, but his former close ally from Heroes vs. Villains Tyson was thinking every man for themselves. Tyson ultimately finds the advantage: an Idol Nullifier. He sold it successfully to Parvati and reaps the reward of his Fire Token in the form of Peanut Butter purchased from the Edge of Extinction Menu.
On one hand, I don’t understand why a cast of winners would value the food items on the menu considering the point of Edge of Extinction is to get back in the game. On the other hand, this is the Tyson we know and love. He usually doesn’t make decisions based on what the best game move is. Almost as much as, if not more than, Tyson wants to win Survivor he wants to have fun and make people (including the audience laugh). He succeeded with me at least.
