Survivor Winner Fabio Busted

And not because he cut off his long lovely locks, which should be a crime, since that is probably his best feature. It was just a matter of time, that Fabio, 21, real name Judson Birza, winner of Survivor Nicaragua was busted for acting, (so the news says) get this, "like an oddball." Excuse me but when is acting like an oddball a crime? Apparently Santa Monica police took the reality star, into custody after they spotted him acting strangely on his skateboard. Well maybe he was learning how to skateboard although I would have thought him more of a surfer dude. According to the news article, Fabio was charged on an unrelated DUI (hey was he drunk or not?) and probation violation. He posted $37,000 bail, was picked up from the police station in a stretch white limo with his best buds and beer. Guess Fabio was still high off of his winning. If Fabio is not careful, the future headlines for Fabio will read, Survivor Nicaragua winner was seen in Santa Monica panhandling for cash and sleeping in the alley behind CBS studios. Straighten up Fabio, what happened to "I'm going to take care of my mother and make good investments?"-Single D

Survivor Nicaragua Finale

On day 37 Fabio has an epiphany, he has to get his game on or else he is going home after finding out that Chase, Sash and Holly have a three way alliance at tribal where they vote out Jane of the jungle. Sorry to see Jane go. She should have tried to win her way with a Fabio and Dan alliance because is Fabio really that smart? He's either really smart or is just dumb lucky, I'm thinking the latter. Fabio wins the immunity again. I thought for sure he would trip up with the questions about Nicaragua and he did, but Holly and Chase choked on the puzzle. Really, then you both need to be sent home. At tribal I knew they would be sending Dan home who as it turns out was disgruntled angry survivor. He spew his wrath on Chase and Holly, who knew he was harboring hostility? He barely spoke this entire season.

Chase, Holly and Sash have to win the next immunity challenge if they plan to keep their alliance strong, but balancing coins on a sword is none of their strong points. Holly is the first one out and with that, I'm like you deserve to go because if you can't even try to hold on then go. I thought for sure Fabio was going to fail the way his coins were stacked like the leaning tower of Pisa, but he managed to hang on beating everyone again and with that Fabio made his way to become the youngest person ever to win survivor at 21.

I didn't think Chase had a chance up against Sash and Fabio because everyone seemed to think Chase is a dumb as wood or at least Marty thinks he is as he asks his rhetorical question to Chase "Name the person who you think is as dumb as a sack of screws". At first I wasn't getting it, but then it appeared he was saying that Chase is as dumb as a sack of screws. Wow that's not nice. And whose smarter now? Chase is in the final three, so there! I admit that Chase was so wishy washy during the whole game, but I certainly don't think he has some screws loose.

I love the finale, everyone looks so different when they get to eat and get glammed up for the TV. Fabio was unrecognizable, but still the same ditzy self. Sash definitely looked better with some meat on his bones and Jane looked rested and not so hound doggish. Glad Jane won the 100,000 she deserved it. And when Jeff asked her what she makes yearly, I was surprised when she said $50,000, really? I thought for sure she was going to say something like 20,000 you know, hillbilly poverty level?

Well, congrats to Fabio or Jud whatever your name is. Keep it real and don't blow it on some ideological hair brained scheme, which he probably will. I just love Survivor, sigh! And oh, Jimmy Johnson, he still has charm!-Single D

Survivor Nicaragua-Goodbye Jane

I hated to see Jane get voted out but heck it was just a matter of time. How she lasted that long was short of a miracle. You betcha I would have voted for her if she was the last two standing and it seemed everyone else knew it. She championed the fire, which in her last act of revenge doused it, like she said, she started it and she was going to put it out, so there take that! Now I have no one to root for. Chase has gone down in brownie points, leading poor Fabio on by making a deal that if he wins reward he would take him and Sash. Once again Chase wins and who does he take? Holly and Sash and not Fabio. Fabio (he's like a big yellow lab and I knew his name wasn't Fabio, it some thing Tug or Turk or something) was so heartbroken he couldn't spend time with his mother and that whole relative reward, there were so many tears, gawd, it was like they haven't seen each other in years, although I have to admit, I did get a little weepy. So that was the second time Chase went back on his word about taking someone to reward. Jane was miffed too saying she was hurt. I wasn't feeling it for her, she has after all, gone on the last 4 rewards, it's about time she let someone else go. Chase took Sash and Holly just so they could solidify their final three.

Fabio steeled his determination to win the immunity challenge and he actually pulled it off. While Chase pulled a Fabio and studied the shield a little too long, like 20 minutes too long. Back at camp, when Jane confronts Chase, Holly and Sash and says, is it me? with those big hound dog eyes, you almost felt scared, like she was going to the death squad for execution. It was like the group did rock paper scissors and Jane lost. Off to the lion's den with ya!

Now with Jane gone, that leaves, Fabio, Chase, Holly, Sash and whose the fifth person?? Oh yeah, Dan, who in this episode spoke about 2 sentences. Why is he still there!!!-Single D

Survivor Nicaragua-A Chicken Named Kelly-Nay

Here's what you missed. NaOnka and Purple Kelly are too chicken to stay because of the rain, the cold and you name it, eliminate themselves from the game. Benry makes a funny by naming the last chicken, Kelly-Nay after the two departed chicken survivors. Jane weeps because the boys eat Kelly-Nay while she and the others were on reward feeding their own faces with real food. Chase makes a deal with Sash that he will not eliminate him, in fact stating the he would take him on reward if he wins along with Holly since she martyred herself last time. After winning the reward, Chase has a moment of forgetfulness and takes Holly and Jane instead of Sash to the reward, much to Sash's dismay. Sash's boobs look like prune pancakes while Chase still remains buff and brawny, must have a stash of food somewhere and some dumbells. Speaking of dumbell, Chase is worried that his choice of Jane over Sash for the reward will make Sash side with the boys. But everything works out when Sash wins the immunity and scrambling begins in earnest on who will go up for the chopping block. Everyone tells Benry it will be Fabio, Fabio thinks it's Holly and everyone votes Benry much to his surprise out. And that's what you missed on Survivor and oh yeah, Dan is still there, mute, lame and taking up space. -Single D

Survivor Nicaragua-Quitters Never Win and Winners Never Quit!

That is about the smartest thing Benry has said all season. In fact that is probably the first complete sentence I heard him say and something I plan to tell my daughter any time she wants to quit playing her violin-"Quitters never win, and Winners never quit", thank you Benry!

This whole episode centered around NaOnka and probably much to her delight as she is watching from the comfort of her living room surrounded by mirrors because she loves herself soooo much. I'm betting that if NaOnka didn't quit, because Jeff asked her first at tribal, I'm wondering if Purple Kelly would have quit? Purple Kelly is a follower and doesn't have a strong bone in her 98 pounds of weakness.

Let's face it, you have watched Survivor season after season. You see how totally grueling and lacking of the comforts of home, how there's no food, no water, being covered in filth and mud and eating roots and rice and peeing in the ocean. How tropical storms are torrential and non-stop, sleeping on palm fronds (which sounds romantic, maybe in "Blue Lagoon") with just the bathing suit on your back and now once chosen to be a survivor start crying and whining how this is the hardest thing I have ever done! Granted Purple Kelly hasn't been alive that long to experience any pain and suffering and therefore is way too immature to be there. What is she 10?

NaOnka on the other hand, she just plain dumb. She didn't think it through to the end, she put in her 28 days (hey isn't that a scary movie?), can say she was a cast of Survivor and wear it as a badge of accomplishment. More like the hall of embarrassment if you ask me. I mean, I could somewhat understand when they won the reward challenge she wasn't giving up that reward even if she just told Jeff she wasn't going to stay, because hell, she fought 110% and dang napit, she was going on reward because she deserved it. I can understand that and you gotta respect that she didn't cave in to the pressure of everyone wanting her to give up her spot so that the others could have a tarp and more rice. Let see, give other who in desperate need of shelter and food, naw, I want my reward and I want it now! But crimmy, she was leaving, going to sleep in a real bed, get a hot bath and hot food. But someone like her can't see the error of her ways because in her world, she is the center of the universe and all things evolve around her.

So with that smug determination and cocky swagger she took her torch to a disgusted Jeff as he practically told her to get the H out along with a wimpy Purple Kelly who unlike NaOnka left with her tail between her legs.-Single D

Survivor Nicaragua-Bye Bye Brenda

Let's just say, Survivor can end right now. Jane is totally awesome!

Let's see, she can catch fish, she's strong, she can make fire, she has gumption, she has spirit and she's managed to outplay the others, so she is the ultimate Survivor in my book. She certainly outlasted all them young 'um on that leaning back splash immunity challenge. She almost let go but Jeff's encouragement kept her going to outlast Chase who I thought was going to win. Thanks Jeff! I didn't want Brenda to win the immunity challenge, but I didn't want her to go home either. Unfortunately by not lobbying or trying to play up to strategy, which she considered beneath her, come on girl, it's a game! She ended up going home. Curious how Sash didn't give her the immunity idol, love all those telling glances at tribal when Jeff asked about playing the immunity idol. I guess NaOnka was right that Sash wasn't going to give it to her, guess he's smarter than I thought.

I'm wondering when they are going to send Dan home? He has not done one thing in this game but limp his way through. I'm thinking they are forgetting that he's even there.

Didn't the volcano surfing look awesome! Put on bucket list!

NaOnka pulling Fabio aside during the reward lunch, now how subtle was that? NaOnka is about as subtle as a bull in a china shop. Apparently she goes wacky next week which isn't surprising, she's one step away from being committed in my book.

I'm hoping the elimination will go in this order:

Benry-he does nothing for me

Fabio-he's dumb and probably will squander the million on hair products

Purple Kelly-can we stop calling her Purple Kelly and who is she anyway?

Holly-her hair is too curly

NaOnka-keep her around for the drama, but eliminate her because she would probably give all her money to her poor relations and end up in the poor house or loony bin

Chase-I bestow second place just for his loyalty and his fondness for women of rice

and the winner......I want Jane of the Jungle to win, it will be a boost to all women over fifty plus make Marty really really Mad!-Single D

Survivor Nicaragua-Goodbye Marty

There is a reality God after all! There was some tense moments when I thought Brenda and Sash would keep Marty again, what are they thinking! But they must have come to their senses.

Really didn't think the reward challenge was fair, men vs women. Hey breaking through a brick wall, I'll huff and I'll puff, and ramming a stick barrier was not fair for the women. Come on, I'll say it, women just aren't that strong, contrary to Jane's thinking and Jane, your steam gave out half way through. What was Chase thinking by siding with the girls in this one, anyone could see the women didn't have a chance. Marty took it as his opportunity to lobby for his plan of getting rid of Jane.

The immunity challenge of remembering the order of symbols proved that Brenda has a sharp mind. She was like the cat eating the rat when she went up against Marty in the final round. Old people really have to concentrate or they lose it and I'm speaking from experience! I'm thinking that is why Marty couldn't remember the last symbol because there was too much distraction.

If this time around, they didn't vote Marty off, I was ready to hand him the million. Hey anyone you love to hate is the one that should win. Goodbye Marty, FINALLY!-Single D

Survivor Nicaragua-Band of Idiots

Will someone remind Sash that this is a game? Sash you're an idiot. So what if you have to go back on your word to Marty. IT'S A GAME! You and your band of idiots deserve to get voted off by the poor me, I'm defenseless, I don't have an idol, Marty. As Brenda said, wonder if he wins the next three challenges and he probably will. Brenda, whose side are you on anyway since you've voted to keep Marty the last three times? NaOnka, brain dead, so what if Fabio (is that his real name, really?) ate the biggest tortilla, no one was stopping you from making your sassy self another tortilla. Wouldn't that have satisfied your maniacal craving or at least keep you from pulling the stupidest move yet by stealing all the supplies? Alina, totally clueless could have worked that whole fiasco to her advantage, but instead acts like her accomplice. Clueless! What was she thinking. And Jane, god bless her, but she needs to lay low and not get noticed by Marty who is tossing malicious eyes and words her way. So what if she is the poor pitiful let's give her a million dollars sob story, hey, I don't care about that, I just like her gumption! With Marty's raging against Jane during tribal should have been a wake up call to the rest of the tribe, yet they still vote to keep abrasive Mr. Loud Mouth.-Single D

Survivor Nicaragua-What Marty Survives Again?

Ok, I don't get it. Have I been watching the same show that La Flor members keep saying that they want to vote off Marty and then keep him after a tense tribal voting? What is up with that. Two chances they had to vote him off, but a pact with Sash, here I'll give you my immunity idol and you'll keep me, which could have been the dumbest move of the season until what, Sash got a conscience and decides to keep Marty? Or could Brenda be the traitor in all this by voting to keep Marty? Very fishy. Speaking of fishy, it was so funny when Jane goes fishing (as Sash says back at camp, if the elders want to work and bring home food, who am I to move off my butt?) Jane holds up a big catfish and decides to eat it all herself. She's got gumption that's for sure and I'm beginning to think that I want her to win this whole thing. I like her! Unfortunately at this writing I guess I missed the first ten minutes of this episode and missed that whole Fabio peeing in the pool thing. One word, how old are you Fabio? Peeing in the pool, doesn't only five year olds do that? Oh yeah, he has the mentality of a five year old. He is so dumb!

During the reward breakfast, when Alina had an emotional breakdown because she got to eat cheese and eggs, NaOnka tried to act like she too was having an epiphany, just because. Too funny. NaOnka doesn't do fake emotion well. La Flor loses the immunity challenge again and like I said, they should have sent Marty home but instead Jill is sent packing. Back to the ER with you Jill.-Single D

Survivor Nicaragua-Double Elimination

I'm not getting it, why is there always people who sign up for these weeks long reality shows and half way through it starting whining about how cold it is, how hard it is, how they miss their families. Boo hoo, you signed up for it. It's not like you didn't know what you were getting yourself into, this is what the 21st season!! Dan, you need to go home. Like you said, you don't need the money, apparently you have oodles of it to spend on cars and homes, then why the heck are you sleeping in the rain, nursing your knees and suffering like a hound dog? Go home! And once again, does the tribe vote him out, nope, hey, let's vote out another strong player, Yve. Sure she's strong, but did seem to me to pose that great a threat. And hey, what was up? Did I miss something? Brenda hatches a plan to get rid of full of his self Marty out, a plan that played out perfectly during tribal, with the votes split, 3-3, but during the second vote, its Kelly B that gets the boot, I'm like, what?! Who was the traitor? It was Brenda! What happened. Did she forget to vote Marty out? What's the deal? I'm sure all the behind the scenes scheming, Marty must have gotten to Brenda, yitch! Well, I'm sure that is going to back fire. One word, stupid! Marty is a threat at challenges, so I think they missed the chance to get rid of him. Well, coconuts fall where they may, Marty is moving up the food chain. Kinda of sad to see Kelly B go and yes, if she would have made it to the end, I would have voted for her and not out of sympathy, but out of amazement, she moves faster on one leg than my sister-in-law with two!-Single D

Survivor Nicaragua-Mix it Up

Ha ha Marty and you thought you were going to be king of the senior citizen tribe! HA! Jeff pulls a fast one, when both tribes come together for the challenge to learn that they are mixing it up. I was glad to see that. Marty is once again at the bottom of the food chain. I thought the tribes were a good mix, if only Jimmy J. would have been able to last this long, I would have liked to see how the younger tribe would have related to him. Tyrone sure isn't making any friends on his new tribe by voting against killing the chicken and then eating the most. Psst, people are watching you and drooling. Did ya notice how he was the only one with an entire leg of chicken in his mouth and licking every bone clean while others were eating meager pieces of meat (hey why does he get the biggest piece, he didn't pluck no chicken?). It's no wonder they voted him off, we would have eaten everyone out of house and camp, never mind that he's big and is a strong player. And oh yeah, let's get rid of him over NaOnka, who all of a sudden goes from Beeyach from hell to a sniveling, whining cry baby because she is a little wet, oh boo hoo! That whole thing about this being the second worst thing that has happened to her, the first being her divorce, really? being wet is the second worst thing ever? Really? Stop whining! They shoulda booted her right out, they had their perfect chance without her going all banshee, but instead they vote out the strong food hogger, Tyrone. Well, it's finally getting interesting. And no one can pull the wool over Brenda's eyes, she sees right through Marty!-Single D

Survivor-Nicaragua

Yes sure enough without coach, the old tribe is going down in flames, because there isn't a single person on that tribe willing to stick their neck out, except for Jimmy T who is constantly whining gimme a chance. I want to know what the heck he's been doing this whole time? He surely flubbed the blind leading the blind challenge when he couldn't listen to Tyrone's direction and after he's like, I couldn't hear what he was saying. Well, Jimmy T you had your chance to shine and you blew it and I guess your big mouth got you a whole lot of nothing when the tribe to their detriment, decides to keep Dan, who is the weakest person on the tribe. And can I say one thing, this whole elder tribe, what a pitiful lot. A bunch of weak whining crybabies. And the women together they haven't a single thought of their own. Sorry sorry sorry. What a way to represent the older generation. Disgusting. So disgusting, I identify more with the younger tribe, even if NaOnka is a bully and Kelly B is not as strong as we think she is. I'll go with the younger anytime. It's embarrassing, couldn't the producers find a better collection of older people. That is not how I think I am, physically strong, smart, street wise and sage wise. Whatever happened to 50's the new 30's?

Next week should be interesting when Jeff mixes up the tribes, but I'm guessing the older ones will be the first to go. -Single D

Survivor Nicaragua-The Stupidest Move So Far!

Who said getting older you get wiser? Apparently not this group of oldies on Survivor. Yeah, let's get rid of the guy who knows how to strategize, who knows how to read people, who knows how to play the game. Never mind that he said he doesn't want the money, (listen up people, he doesn't need it!), never mind that he seems genuinely a nice guy, never mind that in life he's a winner. No let's vote him off because someone feels threaten by him (Marty). Well, this made me so mad I could spit nails! As far as I'm concerned, the oldies should be in diapers, because they are acting like a bunch of big babies. Of course they are going to go down in flames now that they are leaderless. There isn't a whole brain among them. And you would have thought Jill being the strong and I thought smart woman, would have seen through Marty's veil of jealousy. But no, she acted like a stepford wife, yes dear. Hey oldies, pack your bag, you're going home! And don't mess with NaOnka, she takes no pity even if you don't have a leg, gimme that clue!-Single D

Survivor Nicaragua-Shoes, Socks, Shannon

I think I'm going to like this season, even tho it's once again, old versus young. And come on, when Jimmy John said he didn't want to win the million, I believed him. He's done everything, I think he just wants to play this game for the fun of it and if the old tribe votes him out then that would be a huge mistake. I think he knows strategy and people dynamic and would be good at analyzing the game. Let's face it he's won 2 Superbowls, so this must be a walk in paradise for him. He called goat girl out (Wendy, who prophetically said her husband said she would be the first one gone-never, ever let the universe hear you say that!) as the weakest link to which I was thinking come on give the girl a chance, but when she opened her mouth at tribal, I was like yeah, get her gone!

Last night's episode, I forgot it was on and when I came downstairs there was some drama about alligator shoes being filled with sand and submerged in water, NaOnka (I don't even know how to pronounce that) stealing socks and wearing them and with Fabio not even able to call her out, because she out yelled him when he looked at her crooked. Yeah he's looking at you NaWonka, whatever your name is, because he's thinking I recognize those socks, yet he's scratching his head as to why are they on your stinking feet? And if Dan's alligator shoes cost 1600.00 then why is he on the show?

I was glad that the older tribe won, which might be the only time they will since they decided to use their edge which gave them one ball over the young tribe, which fortunately they manage to win barely, thanks to Benry who can't sink a ball, someone is bad a basketball!

When loud mouth Shannon tells everyone to get Brenda out because she might have a showmance with Shannon's ally, Chase (is someone jealous there?), Brenda starts stirring everyone against Shannon. At tribal Shannon, like goat girl Wendy, couldn't keep his mouth shut and insulted every homo in New York by saying that Sash was gay being from NY, sealed his fate and was sent home. Don't people know, you go on these reality shows, you must keep your trap shut or get sent packing. Guess not!

I just hope the older tribe gives the younger tribe a run for the money, well, me being biased and all. I wish I could have been on the older tribe, seems like most of them are already half dead. I'd like to show them that 50's the new 30!-Single D
