Episode Report Card Sara M: D | 1 USERS: F YOU GRADE IT Nothing Left To Suck
By Sara M | Season 21 | Episode 12 | Aired on 12.01.2010
The reward losers return to camp just as the rain starts. Good thing they have their new tarp! First, though, they must tell Holly how awesome she is for giving up her reward. Jud interviews that her gesture was "pretty cool," especially since he wasn't getting a reward no matter what. While the others work on getting the tarp up, Holly and the other Kelly go off to collect firewood so Holly can continue her saintliness by trying to convince the other Kelly to stay in the game even though I think it only helps Holly if she leaves. The other Kelly still wants to leave, so Holly offers her "some advice," the same that she tells her daughters when they apparently want to quit Survivor. "Suck it up and ... play the game," she says, or else "you're always gonna be remembered as the girl who quit Survivor Nicaragua 21." That's not going to work on the other Kelly, though, since she probably never heard of this show before she was recruited to be on it and so wouldn't really care how she's remembered by people who watch it. The other Kelly says she's quitting because she's really cold in the rain. "I got you a tarp," Holly points out. The other Kelly struggles to think of another excuse. "The whole food issue," she says. "I just got you more rice," Holly says. Clearly, the other Kelly wants to leave because she wants to leave. Nothing is going to change her mind. She's 20 and a spoiled princess and she doesn't want to be here anymore. She says she's "a wreck" emotionally.
Holly says that the other Kelly needs to toughen up because she's got like 60 more years of life ahead of her that are probably going to suck more than this. True. The other Kelly interviews that Holly told her to "suck it up" for just a few more days, but as far as she's concerned, she's been sucking it up since she got here. "I have nothing left to suck!" she says amazingly. Could she really be that oblivious and clueless that she said that without realizing how hilarious it is? And if she was going around saying stuff like this the entire time, one thing she does have left to suck is how much it does that we've been deprived of her genius for so long. Holly's still going, saying that her daughters tried to quit cross-country once and Holly wouldn't let them because she's one of those parents who tortures her kids with forced activities. Anyway, her daughters ended up being the state champions, which Holly is very proud of even though this is the state of South Dakota we're talking about, so you're competing with like one other person and a moose. The other Kelly still won't say she isn't going to quit, so Holly just leaves her with a stern "you need to seriously think about what you're doing." Holly interviews that she knows what it's like to want to quit because she almost quit herself in the beginning of the game but stuck it out, thanks to some motivating words from The Great Jimmy Johnson. She says she hopes she inspired her children by not quitting. I hope she inspired them by filling Dan's shoes with sand and throwing them in the ocean. Sadly, South Dakota is land-locked, so they'll have to throw shoes in, like, a lake.
