What happened on this week Survivor?
I really have no idea. That is why I am asking. Apparently
John Rock was blindsided and voted off! I know that because CBS released the
“Seven things that will surprise you about John Rock”.
I’m kind of sad that he is gone though. Was he a total jerk?
Sure. But, it seemed like he tried hard to undo the stereotype of his old
bigoted days. And it seems to show in in these 7 comments:
1.
John would have given Val his idol is she hadn’t
lied about having one
a.
Val was going home. She knew the votes were going
to be split! At that point, it would have been beneficial for her to tell the
truth. I don’t blame Rocker at all.
2.
He felt Coyopa was outmatched athletically by
Hunaphu
a.
Look at the tribes. Not only was Coyopa down two
players going into Rocker being voted off, there tribe DOES look weeker. That being
said, I like Hunaphu much more than I like Coyopa, so I’m too sad to agree.
3.
John considered Josh his closest ally and the
strongest member of his tribe
a.
Poor John! Josh was just using him to get
further along in the game, and it worked! I’m betting that Josh will be in the
top three, and I would be very surprised if we don’t see him on a future season
of Survivor.
4.
He thinks he would have been in trouble
regardless of what happened during or after the immunity challenge
a.
It’s always a dangerous game being an old time
celebrity on Survivor; ESPECIALLY if you try and hide it. If he would have been
more open about who he was at the beginning, it might have been good for him!
My advice to any celeb on Survivor: just reveal who you really are!!
5.
When he saw the first vote was for him, he knew
he was probably going home
a.
Where on earth was his immunity idol?! I mean I know
it was a blindside, but he now gets to go down in history as one of the few
survivors who got voted off with an idol in his pocket. Rookie mistake.
6.
He’s friends with Jeremy, Val, Natalie and
Nadiya and says the “twinnies” are a piece of work and little instigators but
they’re fun to hang out with
a.
Rocker definitely reversed his own stereotype
coming onto Survivor. I can see them all being friends because they are all
similar in their personalities. But I would love to be a fly on the wall if
they ever got in a fight. That would be a sight to see!
7.
The hardest Survival aspect of the game was
being constantly hungry and not knowing when he would eat again. He lost 19
pounds in 10 days.
a.
If that’s the hardest past, SIGN ME UP. I don’t
think there is a girl out there who would mind that type of weight loss.. But really,
all joking aside, he was a BIG man! I could see that being a rough part for
him. Me, I’m a college student! I’m used to wondering where my next meal is
coming from and if I can get it for free!
Now that I sound like every college student EVER.. Thanks
for reading my thoughts on John Rocker’s thoughts. I wish he could have stuck
around, I don’t mind watching drama unfold. Until next time,
