That was my reaction at the end of the episode, I see a reshuffle next week.
How does a physically able person not know how to jump?
these last two episodes were very hard to take. I am also glad Bhanu has been voted off.
I’d totally blanked that from my mind. You’re going into a contest where you are expected to be physical and athletic. and you… can’t jump? Its like those people that can’t swim… you know you’re going TO AND ISLAND. You’ve seen the competitions. Perhaps take a few days to learn how to swim? Or make a fire? Or do a quick botanical google search to find out what fruits and vegetation is edible?
The jumping practice was hysterical. I could only think about Stuart from Mad TV.
“Look what I can do!”
It was almost as if she was on a planet with three times the gravity.
Bend knees, lunge up with arm assist and… what, 3"? Weird.
LOL! My first thought was: whaddya mean, you need jump lessons. Everybody knows how. It’s like walking.
But then: holy crap. White girl really cant jump.
When Purple lost the immunity challenge I wondered how they were going to find enough drama to fill the remaining 20 minutes. They didn’t.
Biggest blindside in Survivor history -
God blindsided Bhanu.
Bhanu was one of worst players of the game I’ve seen in many seasons. Honestly, annoying and terrible and incompetent.
I’m glad he’s gone. Please don’t ever bring him back!
Not just swim, but dive. I’d estimate that 75% or more of the contestants jump into the water rather than diving in, often with arms and legs flailing while pinching their nose. This water entry methods costs them so much time.
mmm
Lots of belly flops from attempted diving on Survivor.
I’m far away from my DVR right now so I can’t check for sure, but it seemed to me that her technique was to generate all of the power for the jump from above the waist. The legs were just along for the ride.
3" is generous. Looked like about an inch and a half vertical to me
So what do they eat now? It seems like they’ve ignored the whole aspect of starvation in the last 10 seasons or so.
So in other words, she was just flapping her wings and hoping to achieve lift-off?
Good question; I’ve wondered that myself. Without fire one presumes that they’re living off coconuts and tropical fruit (mangos?) With fire, they could add rice and fish.
Bill Laimbeer famously barely jumped more than an inch or two for rebounds since his rebounding was almost all technique…and being 6’11.
IMO, it’s extra hard to jump if you are wearing open toed sandals and socks in sand. Hopefully she would have better luck with athletic shoes.
Why would anyone apply for Survivor if they were allergic to virtually every food item on the island? Better yet, why would the PTB accept anybody who had such bad food allergies?
I both like and dislike Q. He’s pretty good and is handling most things well, but the whole “I blew it and poor me and I failed in the moment” was pathetic and the massive “I told you I’d make it up!” over and over when he won the award challenge was way too much.
I was surprised to see how much worry there was about Soda going to the merge. I haven’t noticed her being super popular, but a lot of her team was wanting to get rid of her since she can go deep in the game if they merge.
In reality, they’ve been on the island for 7 days. They aren’t going to starve so quickly.
I think this it. I’ve heard them talk about it somewhere. One of the trade offs of the shorter season.
It’s her social game. More specifically, her bubbly personality.
mmm
