Survivor Samoa – Nothing New Under the Sun (Warning Spoilers) - Week 7

Tweet

I Think They are Playing Reruns If you are watching a show and it is the same episode every week how long will it be before you stop watching that show? This is what is happening. Every week the same thing happens. Russell conspires, Foa Foa gets a lead, Foa Foa looses that lead, Galu wins all the challenges, Foa Foa looses a tribe member, the tribe member leaving is the one Russell chooses. Jaison the Weak Minded One thing that many people do not understand is how someone in as good of shape as Jaison can be outdone by someone is as bad of shape as Russell. Here is my expert opinion. Jaison is a young pup. I would imagine that his whole life he has had several friends and family around him as a support system. Coming to Survivor all of that support system is stripped away. Someone who is used to being coddled is now truly on his own. Think of the mental strain that would put on a person. Now compare that to Russell. Russell is a seemingly hard man, driven by independence with no real ties to a support group at home. He may have a family but is probably used to being away from home for extended periods of time. He is a hard worker and is not affected by the elements as others are. Jaison the Weak Body Now onto the physical aspect. Jaison is an athlete. He is built that way and has trained that way. Because of that he is mostly muscle and little fat. As everyone knows, in a starvation mode your body begins to break down the resources that have been stored up over the years. The first thing it goes after is the fat. Then, once the fat content is low , it begins to break down muscle. In Jaison’s case he has no fat to break down so early in the game the body would begin to break down his muscles. Russell on the other hand has a good source of fat energy and is able to run his body off of that resource. At the same time Russell also has muscle behind the fat which allows him to be stronger and faster with a backup resource to hold him over. Shambo the Great Oh, Funny Funny Shambo. I love the inauguration speech. I Promise to do my best to make decisions that are best for the whole tribe. It was classic. Playing right in to Dave and Erik’s hand. I especially loved the fact that she sent Laura to the other tribe stating that she was NOT going to send herself over a 3rd time. I think she is great. I do not think she will last long, but I think she is great. Final Four I have not changed my mind to much on this. I think since Russell will make it to the Merge that his chances of staying to the final 4 has increased. I believe that those who are a physical threat will be targeted first and then the alliances will fall apart and Russell will stand with the most advantage. (Besides having the immunity idol) So here is my Final Four picks [b]Russell H Dave Erik Natilie[/b]
