It's easy to say this from the comfort of my family room, watching things unfold on TV without actually being there, but it strikes me as a really bad idea to throw an immunity challenge in "Survivor" just so you can lose and vote out someone annoying on your tribe. Yet, that's what one of the tribes did on last night's episode. The targeted tribe member was lazy, annoying, and delusional, thinking that a woman from another tribe had fallen in love with him "at first sight."
Isn't it better to keep him around in case you do lose a challenge later on? And if he's that annoying and useless, isn't it better to keep him around for the final 2, so that you can't help but win the $1 million if the other choice is him?
I agree, that didn't seem like a very good strategy to me either.
Does it bother anyone else that the participants keep talking about being divided up by "ethnicity" rather than "race"? Isn't race more accurate, as all the teams represent a variety of ethnic heritages? (The Asians have expressly noted the fact that they are Korean, Philipino, Vietnamese etc) Why does the term "race" need a euphemism?
