Episode Report Card Sara M: B | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT Meet Galu
By Sara M | Season 19 | Episode 4 | Aired on 10.08.2009
Dave Ball heads back to camp to tell the blonde and John about the loss of the chicken. "How did it get out?" the blonde asks. "I'll give you one guess," Dave Ball says. "Why? Why did she? How?" the blonde sputters. Yeah, that's pretty much the correct reaction. Meanwhile, Shambo bemoans her bad luck, saying she managed to "produce one egg," only to lose an entire chicken. Erik just wants to know how Shambo can take credit for that egg. Erik also pronounces Shambo's name "Sham-BO," which I love. He hates her so much that he can't bring himself to pronounce her name so it rhymes with Rambo. He says that the worst part of all of this is that he's the only person doing anything to try to get the chicken back. Everyone else is just standing around. Or laughing at him in interviews. "This tribe sucks," Erik says. Hey, maybe the chicken will go for a swim and find the snorkel piece Shambo lost in the swamp.
After the break, we're still at Galu, which should pretty much tell you that they are losing the immunity challenge this week. We need to get to know these people quickly before their first Tribal Council so that we actually care about who might be going home. The blonde works on a coconut while Yasmin observes. "Watching you is making me sleepy," she says. "Go take a nap," says the blonde. I think I like this blonde. The three things she's said this season have entertained me. Yasmin complains that she can't take a nap without Erik "interrupting" her, possibly with requests that she get off her ass and do something, like get water or help catch one-third of their reward. The blonde enjoys the fruits of her labor and drinks from the coconut while Yasmin asks if there's any milk in there. The blonde says there is not. At least, there's no milk that she's willing to share with Yasmin, as she interviews (I believe this is her first interview. It turns out that her name is Kelly) that Yasmin does nothing around camp and expects everyone else to tend to her needs, and Kelly is sick of it. With that, she rather passive-aggressively heads over to the wonder twins and offers them some coconut milk, saying she wouldn't give any to Yasmin because she worked on the coconut for almost an hour while Yasmin just sat there and watched her, hoping to score some coconut milk without having to work for it. I guess the wonder twins' "fruit patrol" runs count as worthy work. Kelly interviews again that while everyone in Galu is trying to work together as a team to make it to the merge as intact as possible, Yasmin is clearly only in this for herself. If that's true, it makes her approach at Foa Foa even more puzzling.
