Episode Report Card Sara M: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Sierra A-Leone
By Sara M | Season 18 | Episode 11 | Aired on 04.30.2009
First question: who has not lived up to their [sic] potential? Duh. Everyone except J.T. and Stephen guess Douche, which is the right answer. Even Douche said Douche. Could this be a rare moment of self-awareness? It won't last. J.T. and Stephen guessed Sierra, which is stupid because how much potential would a twenty-three year-old model really have coming into this game? The young ditzy model is always underestimated. Everyone takes a moment to laugh at Douche, and then it's chopping time. I always wonder how the order of who chops is dictated, because it seems kind of unfair to go first and thus leave whoever you chop with a chance to chop your rope in retaliation. I guess I'd just pick J.T. or Stephen since they got the answer wrong and thus wouldn't be able to chop me until next round. Erinn goes for Sierra. She seems to take it well. Debbie gets some revenge for the Tyson elimination and chops J.T., who seems honestly surprised by this. Taj chops Debbie, saying "it's not personal, I just wanna eat." And yet, she didn't chop her alliancemates, did she? So it is personal. When Douche goes up to chop, Probst makes sure to remind us all that he hasn't lived up to his potential and then Douche chops Sierra. But first, he must pose with the knife. Yes, really cherish the moment where you make yet another stupid decision and chop the rope of one of the two people you need to appease to have a chance at staying in this game. BRILLIANT! Sierra is the last to chop, and chops Douche. Just keep taking yourselves out of the competition, Tempura.
Second question: who would squander the million dollars the quickest? I'm going to go with Taj, just because she has plenty of millions already so one million dollars will mean less to her and not go as far as it would for anyone else. Stephen agrees with me, Douche says Erinn, and Taj and Sierra say Debbie. Everyone else says Sierra, which is the right answer. Debbie Dumbass chops first, and goes for Erinn. Erinn looks shocked, probably wondering what strategic advantage Debbie's move could have possibly had. J.T. chops Sierra, taking her out of the game first. She's pretty disappointed and realizes that despite being saved last night, this tribe still hates her. Erinn chops Debbie, and the Jalapeños are no doubt enjoying watching the Tempura majority eat itself eat again.
Third question: who would never survive on their [sic] own? Oh, PLEASE let the majority have answered Douche! But no, it's Debbie. And everyone except for J.T. and Douche, who guessed Sierra, agrees. Debbie laughs that she wouldn't last on her own because she'd have no one to talk to. Good. Send her to Exile. Taj chops at Douche, and Erinn does the honors and takes him out of the game. Have fun on the bench with Sierra, Douche! Debbie will soon join him, as Stephen takes her out. She gets to chop before she goes, and instead of chopping J.T. or Stephen, she chops Erinn. When Debbie sits down, we can clearly see the Jalapeno + Erinn alliance standing tall, still very much in the game.
