SURVIVOR: Nicaragua Ep. 3

In a turn of events SURVIVOR is getting more and more interesting. The characters have more or less started to unfold and its merely day 7. I said this season looked promising.

It's obvious that Marty doesn't like Jimmy Johnson and wants him out. Marty sees him as a threat and wants to be the man in charge. Intelligently, to build trust in his team he shows his tribe that he has found the immunity idol. This was clearly seen by all as a selfless act and got praised for it. I feel like it might have been a stupid thing to do but only time will tell.

The show quickly turns to the challenge (guess there wasn't enough drama). In this weeks challenge the teams were not only winning for immunity but also the most exciting reward thus far: fruit, spice, sauce and herb garden. The challenge consisted of pushing 10 barrels to a designated mat and once on that mat they had to prop them up on a platforms, once all barrels were propped, one person at a time had to throw a sand bag on each of the barrels. The yellow team (La Flor) had the power idol which gave them the chance to give themselves an advantage to the challenge. This advantage was to have 2 barrels already on a pedestal. Clearly, the younger team doesn't need that advantage so they pass. Once the challenge begins, the yellow squad blows through the blue squad during the barrel pushing and propping. But all of a sudden Tyrone just starts plopping those sandbags and the yellow team just falls behind. Tyrone must have tired out his arm and the young guys win.

This is where it gets interesting, as Jeff Probst gives the basket of fruit to the yellow team Ms Sassy Diva (Nay if you haven't already caught on) and KB (girl with amputated leg) both notice a clue in the basket and play coy until they get to the camp. Once at camp Ms Sassy Diva literally wrestles KB to the ground to get the clue (and mushed bananas in the process). Then walks off like nothing and is completely unapologetic. During Ms Sassy Diva's interview she said, "I got hood, not ghetto". Damn girl! I love her and hate her at the same time. I'm just really upset that all the sisters think they need to play this card. You don't! Ironically, MSD confides in Brenda and shows her the clue. Smart or stupid? I think Brenda should be smart and figure out the clue on her own and keep it away from MSD and prove a point.

Back at the retirement home (Espada) Marty starts to rally his troops to get JJ out. Some are in some are unsure. During tribal council he was the only one that admitted he was weak and I guess that's why everyone decided to vote him out. Bye Coach!

I feel next week we will get even more juicy drama from MSD herself!
