More on Palau

Here are more of my thoughts about Survivor: Palau from a long time ago that I'm watching again on DVD.

Palau Episode 3- Dangerous Creatures and Horrible Setbacks


 

    Jeff and Kim were concerned in a relationship according to what happened at the last tribal council. That might explain more about the next two people gone from the game. Ulong would win the reward challenge, but they would only win one more challenge in the future. Jeff would hurt his ankle but still have to compete in the immunity challenge. The strange challenge had people move around in a circle and Jeff was the first one out, putting his weight on another person. He basically wanted himself voted out because he thought that he was bad in the game. While Bobby Jon and James would vote for Kim, Jeff would vote for James, and everyone would vote for Jeff, making him the next person voted out of the game. I'm not sure if he'd make that great a player the second time around, so I'd give it a 25% chance that he would return to the game. The tribe thought that the challenge could be won if he was able to compete in it, but he didn't and that helped seal his fate.


 

Palau Episode 4- Sumo at Sea


 

    The reward challenge had each tribe choosing a representative to help the tribe build a shelter at their tribe. The Ulong tribe still had no leader and would wind up losing the challenge. The tribe really does suck beyond any other tribe in Survivor history. At the immunity challenge, they compete in a sumo at sea challenge. I don't fully understand why Kim was voted out by every member of the tribe except her. Kim would vote for James, who sucked at the reward challenge. But I guess that Kim just proved too much of a weak player to do anything else important in the game. Kim didn't do that much so it's a 15% chance that she would do better a second time playing this game.


 

Palau Episode 5- The Best and Worst Reward Ever


 

    Angie and Willard were the last people chosen to be on their tribe. Angie had survived every tribal council of her tribe thus far. Willard's tribe had never gone to tribal council. Yet, they would both be voted out in the tribes back to back tribal councils. The Koror tribe was annoyed at the fact that no one could be voted out since they kept winning immunity challenges. The Koror tribe as usual would win the challenge. There might have been a romance blooming on the Koror tribe between Gregg and Jenn. Ibrehem sucked at the challenge and helped contribute to why Ulong lost. But a last minute twist would have him immune from the vote. I'm not sure who got what votes in the vote for immunity, but I'm sure you can find that information on www.wikia.com or www.wikipedia.org if they have the information at all. Otherwise, we may never know why the Koror tribe gave him this privilege and who on the tribe voted for him. As to who was voted out:


 

Willard was a member of the Koror tribe. He was considered weak and otherwise incapable of contributing to challenges. He was also the oldest member of his tribe. While he would vote for Katie, every other member of his tribe would vote him off. He would probably make a 25% chance of doing better the next time. As for the Ulong tribe, Angie was a last minute vote off. The first time the votes were cast, there were two for Bobby Jon, two for Angie, and one for James. In the revote, those who could vote voted off Angie. Poor Angie was unlucky from the very beginning and today she couldn't cheat death anymore. She was tearful at tribal council and was now gone permanently. She would probably have a 30% chance of doing better the second time.
