Survivor UpdateOnce again the worst tribe in the history of Survivor lived up to their reputation as the "that's good enough to win" group, and once again they lost. Unfortunately this time they could not blame it on James, who seemed to be the problem earlier. On the reward challenge they didn't even bother with the drama of who won; as soon as the plane passed over the Koror beach it dropped the reward. And then Ulong made the mistake of designating dumb Bobby Jon as the puzzle-solver. And at the end, Bobby Jon made comments that indicating he was voting based on who was a threat. Dumber than two rocks, our Bobby Jon.
So now there are two. It's beginning to look increasingly possible that there will be no need for a merge.
Better update here.
Later thought: They almost have to do the merge next week. Why? Because if Ulong loses next week, what are they going to do at tribal council? Bobby Jon's pretty dumb, but I doubt if he will actually vote himself off, which means a tie vote and no real way of breaking it (unless they go back to the old "whoever had more votes in the past" loses rule). Not sure if they've made it a rule that whoever makes it to the merge is on the jury, although that's the way I recall it from prior shows. That might cause some problems as there would be eight jury members, which leaves open the possibility of a tie on the last show, which is surely undesirable.
