On Borrowed Time - 
by J-Unit
I am not going to say that the outcome of this season's Survivor has become predictable, but after the last episode, it has kind of become obvious who is in control of the game. This Survivor has been a battle of the sexes, through and through. After the shuffle, and before the merge, it looked like people would actually consider something other than the sex of the player before they wrote somebody's name down. It has become such an issue that we have resorted to taping Survivor here at the TVgasm offices, and letting the Tivo pick up The OC. Maybe Mark Burnett has a few trcks up his sleeve, to make things interesting, but I am not sure even he can effectively stop the one of the most powerful players Survivor has ever seen.
If you haven't been watching this year, or if you are a complete idiot, you know that the evil mastermind is Ami. She has manipulated the Yasur tribe, turning the women into nothing more than her little minions. Thanks to a Lopevi tribe full of short-sighted and egotistical men (are there any other kinds on Survivor?), she has been able to consolidate her power and the game has turned into a battle of who is going to be her favorite until the end. I thought only the men would become helpless slaves in the presence of her impressive mammaries, but the women seem to be in awe as well. Perhaps the sheer weight of Ami's boobs create their own gravitational pull that is interfering with the tides. Whatever the case, she looks unstoppable.
All of the promos this week have informed us about the obvious, the tribes were in store for a merge. Because we still need a little suspense in the game, there is one last reward challenge for the two remanufactured tribes to compete. After simple things like Pringles and then more elaborate things steak and a coffee maker, that really only left some sort of dessert for this next reward. For this reward, there was another relay and it once again transporting water over a distance. Instead of each member going through an obstacle course, the teams had to pass along a bucket of water and then fill a larger bucket. When the larger bucket was filled enough, it would drop, which would then raise a torch that would light a tower. The key to the whole thing was that the bucket moved by being thrown from one spot to another. For the last leg, the bucket wasn't thrown at all. Instead, water was thrown from the bucket into the air, where the last tribe member had to catch the water in their own bucket, then run it up a ladder to the torch releasing bucket. I am sure the producers thought it would remind people of the Olympics or something, but it became another notch in the belt of repetitiveness that had defined this season so far. I won't bore you with the details (I might have bored you enough with the description), so I am going to do my best to sound repetitive as well, and just blame Scout because Yasur lost.
