Kathleen Sleckman, one of the supposed super-fans from Survivor.aspx" >Survivor: Micronesia, up and quit the game on Survivor last night. I can't remember the last time this happened (Oh, wait – it was the first episode of this season with Jonny Fairplay), but whenever it does I get very angry. I'm sick and tired of Survivor contestants whining about how hard it is out there. They've seen the show, they know the elements are difficult and they know that at times it will be miserable. I find it exceedingly hard to believe that the conditions on Survivor came as a surprise to someone like Kathleen. Her quitting is doubly offensive when you consider the agony of Jonathan Penner just one week ago, who fought and did everything he could to try and stay in the game, yet had to leave for medical reasons. There are thousands of people out...

Now that Chet is gone, maybe Malakal can win an immunity challenge. It's not impossible. The tribe is still relatively weak, with only one truly strong member in Ozzy, though I wouldn't call Amanda, Cirie and Ami dead weight. We're entering the traditional mid-season Survivor.aspx" >Survivor lull. On Survivor, it always seems like there comes a time when the the next couple of weeks are easily predictable – I think we're going to limp into the merge on Survivor: Micronesia. Once we get to the merge, however, things should get much better. Having the Favorites duke it out will be fun. So, back to ranking the Malakal tribe. The list is a pretty static one, similar to last week's, but with a couple of minor changes.
#6 – Erik Reichenbach
Erik is the weakest player left in the tribe, both physically and mentally. He will almost certainly be the next castaway voted off.

Chet Welch was voted off of Survivor.aspx" >Survivor: Micronesia last night. This was way overdue. Chet was another in a long line of older Survivor castaways who brought absolutely nothing to the table. He was a wet rag, a worthless pile of goo who forced others to change the way they played the game of Survivor, created unfortunate alliances and was the catalyst in three separate surprise eliminations. It makes me sick that Chet outlasted as many castaways as he did on this season of Survivor. It didn't have to be this way. The blame falls squarely on one place and one place only – the CBS/Survivor casting department.
I understand the need to give the older set a chance to compete on Survivor. That's fine. I also understand the desire to diversify the competition and cast openly gay contestants. This is also fine. But, that doesn't mean...

Joel Anderson became a victim of his own aggressive game play last week on Survivor.aspx" >Survivor: Micronesia. He was blind-sided at tribal council (mostly thanks to Cirie), and it made me happy. His over-playing earlier in the season, in which he opted to keep Chet over better players like Mikey Bortone and Mary Sartain, came back to bite right when he finally targeted Chet. Unfortunately for Malakal, this will severely weaken their tribe in future challenges. Chet, one would assume, is the next to go from Malakal, but that's been the assumption for a few weeks and the feeble pageant coach is still (kind of) alive. If Malakal continues to lose immunity challenges, the four favorites will be able to simply pick off the three remaining fans. Ozzy, with his hidden immunity idol and showmance Amanda in tow, is in good shape.

Did I just watch that correctly? Did the Fans make the same mistake two episodes in a row? Have they ever seen Survivor.aspx">Survivor played before? After five episodes, I suspect that CBS cleverly cast second-rate castaways as the Fans, in order to make the Favorites look good. From the second this season was concocted by Mark Burnett and the Survivor team, they knew they were going to feature the returning Favorites and not the new Fans. They did this by casting weaker players with weaker intellect and less personality on the Fans side, therefore giving the Favorites the upper hand and giving the editors an excuse to steal screen time away from the Fans. That's fine, though – I don't care if Survivor: Micronesia is unfair, so long as us viewers get to spend more time with the Favorites. But, just for fun, let's examine just how unfair...
