Survivor April 13, 2022

I thought that in a two hour episode, there would be two tribals, but they just sort of strung things out.

 


So there we were again with the false merge. Using the hourglass twist from last season (that this group doesn't know about), they're asked to send one person to an isolated island for two days.  

This time they're warned that person will have power in the game as a result, and are given the opportunity to go themselves if someone wants to volunteer.  Nobody wants to miss the opportunity to get to know and feel out new alliances with the other players, so Rocksroy is chosen to go.  It seemed to me that Tori, who has spiraled into a pretty unpleasant personality, had some influence there.

Rocksroy, unlike last season's Erika, really enjoyed being on the island.  He made himself a shelter!  It took him quite awhile but he had fire.  He explored the island!  He did make a snide comment about his naggy wife, but otherwise, he seemed very much at peace.

Once Jeff stopped by and explained the Hourglass twist, he appeared via the magic of editing to ponder whether he should smash the hourglass and re-set who won immunity, but it wasn't in doubt.

At the immunity challenge, Tori won immunity, so the people who could be voted for were Jonathan, Hai, Lydia, Maryanne, and Lindsay.

To me, Lindsay was the person to vote for as she just isn't a strong player.  There were moves on Maryanne but she survived once again. Go go go!  Omar is given credit for saving Maryanne through some power shuffling, but I'm sure more went on we didn't see. Plus, leave her alone! :)

I did like Lydia, but if it were between her and Maryanne, grab your torch, kiddo.
