Ralph Kiser
Stimpy's Take:
And here’s token Southern guy.
Two things to like: One, he’s an applicant, and two, he’s a fan of the show.
And it all ends there.
Seriously, I can’t take anyone seriously who, when asked to list their inspiration in life, says their ‘farm’.
Yeah, you read that right. The guys is inspired by his farm.
Sigh.
Next, we have him comparing himself to Big Tom, and JT.
Well, there’s a guy who went to the final four in Africa, and the guy that won Tocantins! What’s not to like there?
How about the fact that the comparison does not lie with their positioning, nor how either of them played the game, but more because of: Gawsh durn, theym dere fellas sounds liake me-uh!
Think I’m being harsh here folks? Read the rest of this goobers bio.
Everything about him is the typical ‘Survivor is all about surviving the elements’ and not one iota about the social game, nor strategizing.
Ralph thinks he’s gonna be king of the camp, because he can fish, cook, build shelter, find food and be the leader.
All good attributes to have (well, except for the last one maybe, but we’ll get to that), but they ain’t gonna win you the game alone.
Yes, if you can fish, build, make fire, and cook those are all good things, and points you can make in your final pitch to the jury about why you’re deserving of your vote.
But, if that’s all you do, chances are you ain’t gonna BE in the finals.
‘Cause someone out there with the strategic chops will ensure, a good old working boy who didn’t piss anyone off, won’t get within sniffing distance of the finals.
Smart, strategic players know how to yoke a guy like Ralph until he’s of no use, and then toss him aside.
And, sometimes that tossing comes when it’ll do no damage. Like say, before the merge.
Now, Ralph does seem driven, but I don’t think that’s gonna help him.
I think he’s a bit too much of an ‘alpha dog’ and he’s gonna end up butting heads with someone, and that’ll come back to bite him in the ass.
Whether it’s over being the perceived leader of the tribe, or the peons rising up against the taskmaster, something’s gonna end up getting Ralph’s torch snuffed sooner rather than later.
Remember Jimmy T. from last season?
Same cake, different icing.
