Survivor Tocantins: Tempting The Gods Of Ironic Foreshadowing Commentary by RTVC Staff Writer Stimpy
April 3, 2009
Survivor Tocantins is back!!!!!
And more importantly, so am I.
I know that after my initial piece most of you were probably not only anxiously awaiting the return of new episodes of Survivor, but also because you were anticipating what I was going to have to say about it.
Wow, Douche, aka Coach, whose real name is Ben, must be rubbing off on me. When the hell did I get that self-important?
Okay, I kid, I kid. Or do I?
But in truth, I am humbled by the fact that you’re taking the time to read my thoughts. Even though I’m well aware it’s probably only because you couldn’t figure out how to Tivo Survivor while you watched the finale of ER.
But I takes my victories where I can gets them, and thus, here am I again.
So even though I’m in the middle of laundry, and I’m still vexed about whether or not to go all in with Villanova at the Final Four, I shall lead the charge into this most recent episode.
Shall we?
Dunno about any of the masses out there, but I’m wondering if ol’ Eddie George was sitting out there watching as Probst detailed what had gone down previously, if he didn’t turn to Taj and say:
‘Why the hell do they keep making a point out of the fact you just GAVE the Hidden Immunity Idol to Stephen like that?’
Not to call Mr. George’s intelligence into question or anything, but I do know the answer to that.
It’s called ‘ironic foreshadowing’, and Survivor history is replete with examples of it.
Anyhoo, we began with Jalapao after their last TC. JT’s not bummed about Spencer being gone.
Probably ‘cause he was gay! Right Spencer?
Ahem.
Actually, JT didn’t say anything like that, but he does point out that this here tribe of his is united…..U-nited! I tells ya!
Remember what I said about ironic foreshadowing? Knowing how this episode turned out, it lays proof to my claim, no?
Without even knowing how things turned out though, that bit with Joe and Sydney feels like it was put together by the ‘Sledgehammer of Plot Development’ team.
Let’s see, Sydney’s concerned, but Joe’s not. He’s not because he’s got a thing for Sydney (no really?), and as such she’s not going anywhere.
So, on the one hand.....
Stimpy is a huge fan of Survivor and enjoys dissecting each episode. When not watching Survivor or sports on TV, he fills his time by skydiving, rockclimbing, golfing, and rollerblading, as well as sitting on the beach drinking beer in British Columbia, Canada. You can contact me at ds195@yahoo.ca.
