Just when you thought the Survivor franchise was dead, they up and figure out ways to keep it interesting again. The team switch was brilliant, and now Señor Probst is hinting that the traditional merge won’t happen. I personally hope they throw as many curve balls at the contestants as they can muster. Unpredictability is maybe the most important factor in enjoying this show, and I hope they keep it up.
Even better, the whiny, lazy, fingernails-on-the-chalkboard Gen-Y ringleader Lindsey was given a much-deserved boot last night. And my guy Ethan, the low-key soccer player I hope wins the whole thing, came through in the clutch for Boran to win the flaming arrow immunity challenge. How great is that?
