I'm disappointed Rob/Sean/V/Sarah didn't make it higher. They were probably my favorite Marquesas alliance.

They weren't my favorite alliance on Maraamu.

Going to try to do this tonight. No promises.

Crap. Lost track of time. I'm not 100% when I'll be able to get the next entry up, but the entire list will be done by the end of the week. For the people still interested (which is probably very few with the amount of delays), stay patient.

Vacation.

Bump as a reminder for me to finish this ASAP. Havn't been around too much, but I'm still alive. I think at least.

4. Samburu Elders (Carl, Frank, Teresa, Linda)




Memorable Quote(s):
"What branch of service were you in, Frank?" -Silas "The American branch. It's called Freedom."
"We have a strong foursome here; you see a weak threesome there. Where are you going to put yourself?" -Carl (to Silas)
"Linda is so concrete, she's buried in the bottom of the Hoover Dam." -Frank
"Our tribe is split by a generation gap. We have four people in their forties with a sense of responsibility, and the others are just confused in their life. I am worried about that generation. I have no regrets." -Carl
"Damn you, Carl, for leaving me with a bunch of misfits." -Frank
"Didn't your momma ever hug ya?" -Linda (to Lindsey)
"We need you to vote for Lindsey." -Silas "What do we get out of it?" -Teresa "Nothing." -Brandon


It should be no surprise by the alliance ranked dead last that I was a big fan of the elders on Samburu. They were hard working, likable, smart, funny, entertaining, and it didn't hurt that they were up against four of the most vile people to ever play the game. (Or three, Kim wasn't as bad). The group did everything for the tribe in terms of work while the Mall Rats clique slept in. They weren't given the time of day from any of the younger members, minus Silas, from the very beginning of the game. Lindsey, Kim, and Brandon were complaining on the hike to camp about Frank's "bossiness", but they didn't seem to realize that without him, they wouldn't have made it to camp in the first place. While Lindsey bitched more about being on her period, the older group set to work to actually survive in Africa.

Episode two comes around, and the lines in the sand are still there. The elders know they have a group of four, and they know that they only need one more person for a majority. They approach Silas to be their fifth and form a majority, knowing he would be a complete retard to side against them and risk a tie. Everyone had just seen Australia, and the elders knew they would need five strong at the very least to have a chance in the game. Silas shakes hands with them and agrees, but it doesn't matter too much as Linda goes insane once she tastes blood. The most dysfunctional tribe of all time won immunity twice in a row.

Day seven, Brandon makes me feel even more sorry for the elders when he asks to sleep in and make breakfast instead of getting water. He then pulls the biggest asshole move possible by making double portions for his friends and nothing for the people doing the freaking work. Anyways, the Mall Rats make the necklaces for themselves, and Silas decides to wear one, too, thus making one of the worst strategic decisions ever. The elders realize he isn't with them, and it comes down to a 4-4 deadlock at tribal council. Carl, a smart doctor, versus Lindsey, a whiney bitch. We all know what happens, and Carl is completely screwed over on his way out just because he mentions having money back home.

When Samburu gets back to camp, Lindsey shows what a hypocrite she is by freaking the fuck out at Frank, T-bird, and Linda after receiving votes. Then, the elders watch as the Mall Rats have a private meeting by themselves. You've got to be kidding me. Frank is not happy, and the next morning he just decides to screw with them. It's amazing. Why would anyone ever have to wake up before noon? Why does anyone have to do any work to survive? Everyone needs to remember that this is not a recent season where food is handed out in mass quantities during rewards and all that. In Africa, water was a major issue for the castaways, and the elders were rightfully tired of doing all the work for these lazy pieces of shit.

Later in the episode, Silas gives his football coach speech on one knee, and Linda goes off on them. She knows the tribe is not united, so she starts mocking the younger group by getting really giddy. She really wants to be part of the team. At one point, she goes over to Lindsey and tries to hug her. Lindsey gives one the bitchiest looks I've seen, and Linda gives the priceless line, "Didn't your momma ever hug ya?" I know I couldn't stop laughing during this scene, and everyone else thought she was crazy. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention Lindsey "hurting" herself while doing the SOS building challenge in episode 3. All four elders joined in on the bashing, wondering what the hell was wrong with her, and I always love a Lindsey bashing.

After Samburu got smoked in the challenge. Silas tries another assholish move by asking the elders to vote for Lindsey, yet they were getting nothing in return. THEY DIDN'T EVEN GET TO FIND OUT WHICH OF THEM WAS LEAVING. What kind of prick asks to do something like that? Anyways, crazy Linda was sent packing, but the three managed to give huge "Fuck you's" to Silas at tribal council. Frank going as far as mocking his name by the vote "Silas AKA Chip". Luckily, the swap happened, and Silas and Lindsey both got kicked to the curb like they deserved. Not that it would have changed much as Samburu was toast with only four strong because of Silas's shitty gameplay. Maybe Lindsey makes the jury. That's it.

It's obvious I like the Elders because I despised the Mall Rats, but it wasn't only that. I liked them before I started hating the younger group. Frank was hysterical on the hike over, and he kept it going throughout the season. So what if he doesn't know what brunch is? Who cares if he likes to play with elephants? How were his tribemates supposed to know that he has never played a sex game before? Teresa went on to be even more awesome, too. While she was easily the last target of the elders due to her perfect social game and in no danger to leave, she surpassed that and became who I think as the most likable castaway ever. Her deal with Clarence/winning immunity at the final 10 (and her singing) played a huge role in the season, and she was not even close to being caught. I know I was a huge Lex fan during Africa, but I think he has to be my third favorite behind Frank and T-bird. It's too bad that Brandon and Kim screwed up their chances at getting anywhere post merge. But anyways, Frank and T-bird aren't the only reasons I rooted for this alliance. Carl was actually my favorite out of everyone after the first three episode, and I was ticked off when he left. I'm not too sure why as he didn't do that much, but his whole attitude, work ethic, and the way he talked to people made him look like a really good guy. Linda was my least favorite, and I never liked her too much, but she was definitely a character with her whole Mother Africa crap. The only thing I know is that if a crazy old lady is the worst, then you have a damn good foursome.
