Survivor--11/18. Slightly more interesting than watching paint dry.

I had an “Emperor’s New Strategy” thought a few weeks ago, and I’m still trying to figure this one out. Both sides wanted to vote off the younger ones–the guys, because they didn’t want the physical competition later in the game, and the women, because they really, really hated the girls. After the merge, the women wanted to vote all the guys off because they didn’t want the physical competition later in the game.

So, the basic strategy everybody (who’s still in the game) is following is, “Let’s vote off all the tough, strong, athletic people, because they’ll win all the physical challenges.”

When was the last time being tough, strong, and athletic led to a win? Ethan? That was five seasons ago!

I beg to differ. Brian Heidik was a force to be reckoned with on Season 5, and basically ran the table for the last 5 challenges.
