Episode Report Card Sara M: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Probst Hates Fang
By Sara M | Season 17 | Episode 2 | Aired on 10.02.2008
Probst asks Ace if hearing two people say negative things about him is worrisome. "Of course," Ace says. Paloma points out that Ace didn't bring his bag with him, so he can't be too worried. "There's nothing I really wanted to take from camp," Ace says, with this amazing sneering smile on his face that's just barely covering his rage. Probst asks a stupid question about if Ace and Paloma could have been siblings in another life. Uh, no. You see, siblings bicker but underneath that they love each other. Ace and Paloma hate each other. "Maybe. In another world. A thousand years from now. When I'm DEAD," Paloma says. Probst is shocked at her level of bitterness and can only say "wow." With that, it's time to vote.
Paloma votes for Ace. Ace votes for Paloma, saying this is for the strength of the tribe and "best of luck." He can't really mean that, but I think it was decent of him to say it. I have a feeling he didn't know how much Paloma hated him before Tribal. Probably because he loves himself so much that he can't conceive of anyone else not feeling the same way.
Probst comes back with the urn. He asks if anyone wants to play the hidden immunity idol. Sugar says nothing. It would be amazing if the onion alliance surprise voted her off, but I doubt it. I also doubt Ace will be going home tonight, since the editing has made it look like that's very possible. Damn. I want him to go go go! Please! The first vote is for Paloma. Second vote is for Ace. And then ... the third vote is for Ace. YES! YES!!!! Ace is shocked. Paloma licks her lips and gets ready to prounce while Corinne looks satisfied with herself. YES!!! Good-bye Ace, you prat! And then the fourth vote is for Paloma. Noooo ... her face positively falls. Okay, maybe that second vote for Paloma was from Sugar. Yeah, that's what happened. Ace is history! And the fifth vote ... is for Paloma. Oh, shit. Paloma gets a fourth vote, and she looks like she's about to cry. Meanwhile, Ace grins. Ugh. Paloma gets a fifth vote, and she's out. Damn it. Probst extinguishes her torch and you can see Charlie make a sad face behind her. Kelly, who probably cast Ace's second vote, looks sad. But Marcus grins like an asshole and pretends to wipe a tear from his eye and seems to exchange a look with Ace. Ew. Marcus was actually more obnoxious than Ace. What a dick. Probst finishes up by saying that Fang has momentum now, and it's up to Kota to get it back. And that's it. He doesn't yell at them or force them to vote for a leader or say they're in denial or anything like he did when Fang went to their first Tribal Council. Shut up, Probst.
