Survivor Recap: Smooches!


Jeff brings Carter and Penner up to speed, telling them that he’s got Denise on their side.  From there they discuss Katie vs. Dawson for the ouster.  On the one hand, Katie didn’t do well in today’s challenge.  On the other hand, Dawson has been the weakest in the past.  Plus she’s trying to get under Jeff’s skin by talking about ball players and being a stupid ninny about it and so at this point I’m fairly certain that she’s going to get the boot.

It’s so fun to get under his skin!  But that won’t come back and bite me because Denise is new!

Tribal Council.

Denise already has her torch (and it’s lit) but everyone else has to dip theirs in fire since it is their first time at tribal council.  Dawson talks about how hard it was on the tribe to have Dana leave.  Penner agrees and thinks it might have been a different outcome had Dana been there competing with them (aka Ave sucks the worst and would have had to compete in the challenge).

Katie knows she sucked donkey balls and says she feels like the biggest idiot in the world for thinking she could fit hem both in her mouth at the same time.  She really hopes that her tribe factors in her other challenge performances and not just this one.  Dawson talks about what a great contribution Denise has made to their tribe in a short period of time.  She leaves out “But the bitch has gots to go.”

I totally thought it though

Jeff wonders exactly what it is that Dawson brings to the tribe and she says she has spirit yes she do, she has spirit, how about you?  Seriously.  Her answer is that she keeps the spirit up in camp.  Jeff Kent tries not to laugh out loud while listing what’s most important to him in a tribemate: work around camp, loyalty, and value at challenges.

What about not dropping the spirit stick?  That’s totally important.

Time to vote.

We don’t see anyone’s votes which should mean that it’ll ne super suspenseful and not predictable at all.

But it isn’t

Dawson goes in for a Probst kiss, but he dodges it like champ, deflecting it to his cheek instead of the lips she was aiming for. 

Damn, you really smell

Dawson stumbles off in a state of disbelief muttering, “Wow”.  Whether it’s because she got voted off or the awesomeness of a Jeff Probst cheek kiss, who knows?

And there you have it, Gasmi.  What did you think of this episode?  Were you happy to see Malcolm and Denise absorbed into the other tribes?  Or do you wish they had kept them separate?  Do you think Jeff gave Dana a pass on quitting because she’s a girl?  What about kicking Dawson off before Katie?  And lastly….do you think Dawson is parked in Probst’s driveway as we speak?

And yes, she knows everyone says that about their kids, but it's true when she says it. YES IT IS. Fuck you. She also laments throwing away the chance to be a trophy wife, and would like to find a rich husband so she can sit on her ass all day long and watch TV. If you are fabulously wealthy, look like Hugh Jackman (or ARE in fact Hugh Jackman), and are turned on by foul-mouthed, mature, slightly smooshy women, then she just may be the gal for you.

    If that were me, not only would the Probst liplock attempt succeed, I would have slapped his ass on my way out (AND he woulda liked it). Dawson = epic fail.

    I swear Ave had her in had in Dawson’s face at first, because I hadn’t realized they could get so physical in this challenge. But then she threw a hissy fit over the hair. Oy.

    I can’t help it – I love Penner! He was sweet to Dana in a daddy way. If Dawson wasn’t pulling the puzzle pieces out of Penner ‘s hands they might have won.
    I couldn’t believe Pete told Malcolm about their idol after knowing him all of five minutes. What a maroon.

    Uh, no. In answer to your question. Dawson isn’t in Jeff’s driveway. She’ll take ANY rich guy. She just wants a sugar daddy. [Remember how she was naming all the things Jeff Kent needed to buy her for keeping his secret?]

    The girl better get on it quick cause she’s not that pretty and she ain’t getting any younger.

    The only thing that kept going through my mind while watching this episode was – who are these people, where did they come from, why are they on the island. I only know the final two from the dismantled tribe and the former actress and baseball player. It really is like a new season starting next week with all these players that have had no screen time so far.

    I thought Jeff was amazing when that girl decided to go home. There was no point for him to be a dick, he probable had to be reminded of her name since he has only seen her at challenges. Also, she went out with class. She did not make a big deal about it, you could tell she was seriously under the weather.

    Thanks PottyMouth. Another funny, put a smile on my face,recap. :)

    I am also glad that you didn’t die in a plane crash. I would have missed you. You do know that not all pilots are like that guy that landed in the Hudson? I have to take xanax when flying so that when I die I am like “whatever”.

    I had a feeling that those two were going to each go to a tribe to even out the numbers. It was an easy solution to the problem that they caused in the first place by allowing that debacle to happen when they allowed the gals to all sit out of the challenge last week. Producer ploy.

    I would have voted out Dawson before Katie because she was so flipping anoying. I know it isn’t a strategic move necesarily, but it sure would have felt good to cut one of the heads off the two headed monster.

    TC, Robin

    @featherhead,

    I agree with you about Penner. I never thought that I would hear a Survivor contestant tell another to take off her clothes and I knew it truly came from a place of concern.

    It’s worth pointing out that Juggs once again kicked ass in the immunity competition – while wearing a leopard-print thong, no less! There’s no way they’d keep Flabby Maria over her. Juggs is one of the best physical competitors this season. Unfortunately for her, her social game appears to suck. Greatly.

    Also, I’m pretty sure that, being Mormon, Jeff assumes his handshake with Denise (or any other woman) doesn’t really count.

    But Penner was right about telling her to take off her clothes — there’s no way to get warm in wet clothes. And it’s not like there’d be anything unseemly about it anyway. Dana has all the curves of an 11-year-old boy. Hmm. If you put it that way…

    I read an interview with Dana where she said that she was in hospital for 4 days when she returned from the show. This makes me wonder how great the “doctor” was who said that she had a sore “tummy.” I don’t recall “tummy” being a part of the body, medically. She also said that Penner was one of the sweetest and kindest men she knew and that he was very concerned about her.

    AveMaria and Carter could leave tomorrow and they wouldn’t be missed.

    I would love to see a final three of Penner, Malcolm and Denise and wouldn’t care (right now) which of them wins.

    Great recap!!! I agree, this is like a restart on the season . . . I’ll miss Dawson, as I thought she was more interesting than Katie . . . and Mr. D, I like her looks, but I’m gay, so whatta I know!?

    Funny captions Potty!!! Mwah!

    My wish came true with Denise going to the split tribe and aligning with one half–yay!!!!

    Malcolm just lost any tiny sliver of likeability he might have gained by getting hit with the underdog stick. Now that he’s on the winning tribe and in the power alliance, he’s douchier and more grating than ever. If he wants to get that sliver back, he should team up with Wall Street Juggs and take out Str8 Colton and Flabby Brazil Nut. I’m not holding my breath though. This week’s edit hinted at a budding Malcolm/Pete douche-mance, but we don’t know yet how legit or lasting.

    Mister_D – lol. We can share. I’m not very territorial with my Probst. He can snuff both of our torches.

    “Also, I’m pretty sure that, being Mormon, Jeff assumes his handshake with Denise (or any other woman) doesn’t really count. ”

    According to him, it also never counts if you only use four fingers to shake hands, no matter who is on the other end. He has a diabolical handshake and it is his secret weapon! So scary! Pfft.

    I think that he wears out his thumb and index finger on a nightly basis, can only use so many fingers the next day and uses the old “I didn’t use enough fingers to shake hands because I meant to” line.
