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
Probst notices Chase shaking his head and asks how he feels about this. Chase can't be too harsh on NaOnka because she gave him that idol and everything, so he chooses his words carefully, saying that he disagreed with NaOnka's decision and would have volunteered to miss the reward if he was her. NaOnka says that, again, she doesn't care what everyone else thinks because she's "content." Probst asks Jane for some wise old people words. Jane says the younger people don't seem to realize yet that life is really hard "unless they've got an easy ride from their parents." I guess that's the case with the other Kelly, since we cut to her when Jane says that. By the way, life is still hard when you get an easy ride from your parents. Just not the same way. Like, you don't have to worry about money but you also have to deal with knowing that you have no idea how to provide for yourself and are never truly independent. I think that can really wear on you after a while. Jane continues that life is hard and unpredictable and the economy sucks, so if you don't have drive and determination then you won't get hired for a job. Or something. The other Kelly is sitting there thinking "I'm pretty, so this doesn't apply to me!" while NaOnka is thinking "my realness and refusal to change for anyone will no doubt be seen as a positive character trait!" so Jane's words go through one ear and out the other.
Probst says this is a good place to end things and find out NaOnka and Kelly's decisions. He asks NaOnka if she wants to give up her 1 in 9 shot for a million dollars. Absolutely she does. Probst turns to Kelly and says her chances just got that much better -- she now has a 1 in 8 chance to win. Does she still want to quit? Yes, she does, because she's 20 and has no idea how much money a million dollars is or how important money is. She doesn't even know what it's like to truly suffer. So why wouldn't she quit? Maybe next time we don't cast someone who didn't want to be on this show in the first place and clearly doesn't have what it takes to stay it in or even the motivation not to leave. "I can't believe it," Marty mutters, shaking his head.
With that, Probst asks NaOnka what he should do with her torch. She says hers should be treated the same as everyone else's and be "smuffed." Jud cracks up over NaOnka's inability to know fairly basically vocabulary words. Probst doesn't even bother with that, just saying that Alina, Marty, and Brenda's torches were smuffed because they were voted out. They didn't quit. He asks the other Kelly the same question. She also thinks it should be snuffed. Yes, even she knows that the word is "snuffed." After all that, Probst agrees to their wishes and says he'll smuff their torches but they will then be kept in a place of dishonor at Tribal Council for NaOnka and the other Kelly to look at every time they come back as part of the jury. Yeah, I'm sure that'll have an effect on them. They get to have their torches snuffed AND be part of the jury? That sucks. They don't deserve any of that.
