Episode Report Card Sara M: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Everybody's Crazy!
By Sara M | Season 21 | Episode 2 | Aired on 09.22.2010
Shannon speaks up, saying he thought Chase was his ally, but Chase lied to him. He claims that he wouldn't be this upset with Chase if Chase had just told him the truth. Yeah, except that if Chase told Shannon that, then Shannon would have some warning and might be able to find a way to get Chase voted out. Does Shannon think he's on friendship island? I'm confused. Chase says he's been in between two alliances this whole time. Way to pull a Holly and tell everyone that you can't be trusted, idiot. He says he really didn't know who to vote for tonight, but now that Shannon's opened his mouth, he's definitely going to side with Brenda. Shannon accuses him of having none of the integrity and honesty he claimed he possessed. Probst finally gets a chance to speak up, saying that after 21 seasons on this show, he's never had an opening question "open up that much whoop-ass." And it really wasn't that much whoop-ass really. Kind of disappointing.
Shannon can't be stopped, though, and he says that he just wants everyone to know how upset he is with Chase for lying to him. Jud timidly raises his hand and waits for Probst to call on him, which he does. That was kind of adorable. Jud kindly warns Shannon not to "get so aggressive" with people and make enemies. "That's not smart, man," he says. Jud saying that Shannon isn't being smart is like Jimmy T. saying that Holly is crazy. Shannon fails to see how he's doing anything wrong, saying he knows that Chase is trying to vote him out, so he's an enemy already. Probst then turns to Brenda, who has been sitting there innocently this entire time, and asks how she feels about all this. Brenda says it just shows that Shannon is weak and can't be trusted. Chase agrees with her, saying no one trusts Shannon. Shannon then goes to each member of his alliance and asks if they trust him. The stupid ones (Kelly B. and Jud) say they do and therefore will be the next to go when Shannon is voted out. Ben and Alina mostly stay quiet and hope no one remembers who they are.
Probst says that regardless of whether or not Shannon is honest and can be trusted, he must see why confronting tribemates right before a vote can be a bad idea. Shannon does not see that. "You're pretty much digging your own grave," Sash says. It's kind of funny how Shannon is being so insane and destroying himself so much that the people who want to vote him out are advising him to cool it. Shannon's response to that is to ask Sash if he's gay. Various tribe members react by being embarrassed for Shannon. Not Brenda, though, who smiles because she knows for sure that with that, she has won. I mean, even NaOnka is sitting there shaking her head like "what is your problem? That was wrong." AND SHE SAID KELLY B. WASN'T 100% OF A PERSON.
