Two blindsides in a row? Survivor Gabon just might be shaping up to continue the crazy status that Micronesia left it with. After the last episode where both tribes went to Tribal Council everyone was expecting the merge. Kota, after finally going to Tribal Council, was still somewhat considering who to vote out. Randy mentioned how it was hard that Dan went which made Susie laugh a bit. He was agitated that she would laugh and almost hoped she would have went. Believing they would merge the next round Marcus told Susie that she couldn’t swap on them. Corinne then had to speak up about Susie wanting to vote for her. At the last tribal Susie told Jeff that Corinne was the weakest. Corinne then went into crazy mode and claimed there was no way Susie was better then her in any way. Susie didn’t care though, she thinks she has power apparently. She can’t be anywhere closer to the truth that’s for sure.

Over at Fang things were normal as if they’ve gone to Tribal Council before! Matty was shocked that Ace was sent home and told them all they are officially Survivors. He also brought up the idea that he would probably go next since they all voted together but they ensured him he wouldn’t. Sugar then mentioned, in confessional, that she trusts Kenny more then she trusted Ace. Little does she know Kenny was the one lieing and as the night ended they all hoped for their merge and their feast the next day. Back over on Kota Corinne continued her Susie bashing as they went to find their “merge” tree mail. Before they read it Corinne continued her crazy as she wanted to bury Susie alive……. seriouslly does anyone else she needs to be taken out for psycho reasons? They then learned it was time to go to the beach with their personal items. Merge? So they thought but we would soon find out that wasn’t the case.

Generally Double Tribal Councils tend to hurt the game as they are used to vote off the weak and tend to be rather boring. Tonight’s Double Tribal was the complete opposite though as not one but two rather shocking votes offs took place. Once again we started at our favorite Fang tribe after their millionth tribal council. After voting off Kelly the group wasn’t much different but the next morning the food issue returned. After measuring out 30 scoops of rice, and complaining about their lack of it, Crystal then went on to spill the rice on the ground. Nobody really spoke up about it but you could tell they were all a bit pissed. She then went on to not eat the next meal and quarreled with Ace about it. It kind of solidified Ace and Matty’s alliance as both were angry about the rice. It’s crazy how a simple mistake always screws someone over in Survivor.

Over at Kota Corrine’s self proclaimed bitchy side finally showed through! She’s no Jerri Manthey but definitely approaching crazy Natalie! Dan was the focus of the pre-reward segment as he told everyone that he needed to fit into the group. Nobody really talks to him yet he remains paranoid and basically begged to be accepted. It surely hurt him as it made the others see him as somewhat an idiot. I mean Corinne even called him a “once fatty” and “scared as a kid” while Marcus kind of said it…. but in a nicer way. It was then off to the next reward challenge where the winning tribe would go on a helicopter ride and lunch to a canyon in Gabon. It was a large game of monkey in the middle where the tribes would through a breakable ball around a ring while an opposing tribe member would try and break the ball.

Tonight’s Survivor showcased another Fang loss, two to be exact and another Fang Tribal Council. After last weeks vote out of GC both Ace and Sugar knew something had to happen in order to keep them safe the next round. When Matty realized he wasn’t really in with anyone in the tribe he pulled Ace aside. The two then created an alliance based on swearing on a loved one. Matty swore on his girlfriend while Ace swore on his mother that they would never vote each other out. They quickily disbanded, knowing they weren’t really trusting each other but at least it adds something to the lacking strategy of Fang.

Over at Kota they began to complain about something. Guess all isn’t happy in perfect land. With their abundance of food Kota has been eating well but one tribe member has been eating too well. It seems Dan has been eating four portions per meal and it isn’t sitting to well with Corrine. She doesn’t understand why she has to feed Dan and Dan alone. Maybe if she would throw a challenge things would be all better! Back over at Fang food issues were also springing up. Since they only have six days of rice left everyone realized they weren’t doing so well. Sugar and Ace took some time to forget about their food shortage by discussing the idol. Somehow Ace knew that the others found Sugar’s idol and told her about it. She then said she would give it to Ace, for “safe keeping” and in reality handing over her safety to the devil. He didn’t try to dissuade her so she handed it over, it sure didn’t last long though!

Why is it that each and every season there tends to be a tribe that just sucks? Gabon’s resident “horrible” tribe is Fang who, once again, lost double challenges and sent yet another out of the game. As we begin from last episode we join the Fang tribe post-tribal council. Ace wasn’t too happy with Jacquie going home but was at least excited to have Sugar back. She returned from her third run in with Exile Island to learn Kelly stayed while Jacquie was voted out. Sugar wasn’t happy as well as she was close to Jacquie and hid her anger through the dark.

The next morning the old Fang members over at Kota were realizing how much better their lives were. They had food food and more food with the several fish they caught. They even had a very interesting shocking fish, which made a somewhat boring moment at least somewhat interesting. Back over at Kota things were completely opposite with the fighting beginning once again. While cooking rice, GC didn’t want to eat but was told by Crystal to eat his rice. She was doing so in a very joking manor but GC couldn’t take it and fought back. Ace was excited for it all though knowing there were cracks in the alliance of old Fang members. That’s all he really needed to weasel his way to the next round.

Today CBS released the 18 men and women that will be competing in Survivor Gabon. The seventeenth season will head back to Africa to showcase “Earth’s Last Eden”. Although no twists have been revealed, the cast has and that’s good enough for now! Get to know the cast now since the premiere on September 25th is quickly approaching! It will be the first time Survivor airs a 2 hour premiere and is sure to pack a punch! Here we go, make sure to leave a comment when you’re done reading and discuss the cast with others!

Ace / 27 / Naples, Florida / Jewelry Sales

Ace is the first Londoner on the show and one of the few of the non-American born this season. He says that he’s arrogant and his bio says he’s a “flirter” so could he be a male Parvati? He’s live in several places before so he may be a good worker at camp and he’ll probably be good at competitions. I have a feeling he’ll go far but after annoying some people he’ll get the boot.

Bob / 58 / Portland, Main / Physics Teacher

Bob is the oldest guy of the season and will surely be the “dad” for some I’m sure. He’s a teacher so he knows how to interact with the young crowd, which he’ll be doing a lot of in Gabon. His bio claims that he’s worked in several different professions and always enjoys a journey. His vast background and age may allow him to slide through for a few rounds as he becomes friends with all the “kids”.

Charlie / 29 / New York, NY / Lawyer

Charlie is almost an exact replica of China’s winner, Brian. The two love the show of Survivor, they both know how to play and both are gay. It’s really interesting to see that they casted someone so similar to Todd but if he wins then we will know why they casted him. He says that his strategy is to make people think he’s weak and to make big moves. He knows a lot about the game and I think that will take him very far and possibly the win.

Corinne / 29 / LA, California / Pharmaceutical Sales

Corinne is a self proclaimed bitch and only does her job for the money. I have a feeling she could become the new Jerri Manthey since she is only there for the money and always gets her way. She should be fun to watch and if she knows how to sell herself she could get far. The longer she stays the more entertaining I think she’ll become as fighting it always a good way to become “famous” in the world of Survivor.

Crystal / 29 / Durham, North Carolina / Olympic Athlete

Crystal is one of those that is casted mostly because of her profession. She probably has no clue what the show is all about since she was found, rather then casted. But her speed, strength and height will surely give her an edge when it comes to challenges. If she lets everyone know she’s an Olympic winner that could hurt her in the long run but since most “casted” people leave early I see the same for Crystal.

Dan / 32 / Boston, MA / Lawyer

Dan is the second lawyer on the show this season and I have a feeling he and Brian will either hate each other or get along rather well. He doesn’t really stand out as a big player but more of a threat in competitions. His bio focuses on his sports accomplishments, most being in high school. Although it does say he had a realization that his family means more to him then ever. If he can stay somewhat hidden he may do well, but I doubt he can if he’s dominating in challenges.

Danny / 26 / Portland, Oregon / Maintenance Man

Danny reminds me a lot of Ozzy. His bio says that he loves the outdoors, swimming and fishing. Although that may be the case his video interview makes Danny seem rather “boring” I have a feeling he could slip under the radar. He’s had a rough life so Survivor may not be the hardest thing he’s ever done. He also wants to be helpful everyone yet stay hidden, which will be a good idea if he does turn out to be Ozzy 2.0.

Gillian /  61 / Temecula, CA / Retired Nurse

I really like this lady! Not only is she familiar with Africa (she was born there) she’s also a retired nurse and over the hill! She’s the female Jerry in my eyes with a touch of Cirie. She loves the show and has applied for 15 seasons. Gillian will probably be the fan favorite this season as she’s funny and knows what she’s doing out there. She knows she can take on the “boobs and butts” of the show and become the oldest winner yet!

Jacque / 25 / Santa Barbara, CA / Medical Sales

Jacque seems to be the tomboy of the season as she loves the outdoors and competing in sports and other adventures. She says she can overcome any extreme conditions and Survivor will surely put that to the test. Other then that I don’t get much from Jacque other then she’ll be some nice eye candy for the show. Since she knows how to work amongst men and older people, I think she will do well as long as she doesn’t get on the girls bad side.

Jessica / 29 / Brooklyn, NY / Pin-Up Model

Jessica aka Sugar, is one of those that probably has no clue what she’s doing out in Africa. She looks like Courtney from China but I have a feeling her personality is very different. Jeff Probst as said she’s very emotional, naive and plays the game with her heart. If she is like that she may be an early boot but then again she could go far if she joins the right crowd. I don’t see her making any big moves but rather gives us some good confessionals and break downs.

Kelly / 22 / Buffalo Grove, Illinois / Retail Sales

 I have a feeling that Kelly will do good in this game. She looks great, seems smart and knows how to be a leader. If she can do all that and join up in a good group she will go far. Although she doesn’t look like it, Kelly says that she is very adventurous which probably will surprise many. I don’t think she knows much about the game but like I said, she’ll need a good group to take her far but can do well.

Ken / 22 / Westminister, CA / Pro Gamer

For once Survivor has casted the nerd! I have a feeling he’ll be well liked by everyone on and off the show. Ken is someone who you would expect to sit back and let things happen but his mind will always be playing out the game. He knows how to win and is addicted to the show. If he can use his strategy of winning Smash Bros. to the game of Survivor he’ll surely do well and impress a few people along the way.

Marcus / 28 / Atlanta, Georgia / Doctor

Marcus is the one from the commercials and I think a lot of people knew he was going to be on the show. Although he is a doctor I don’t see him being the next Dr. Will. I think he’ll be there for a few rounds then get the boot once he reveals that he’s a doctor. He’s a threat, already has many and I think many people will take that into consideration when they vote at Tribal Council.

Matty / 29 / Pacific Palisades, CA / Personal Trainer

Matty seems to be someone who is there just for fun and nothing more. I don’t think he’ll be too much into the game and may actually get into a few fights. He seems to be someone that won’t really want to help out at camp or do too much otherwise as he’s a bit of a slacker. Maybe the show will teach him a few things but otherwise I think he’ll be gone early since he doesn’t seem to want to be there.

Michelle / 24 / LA, California / Music Producer

I think Michelle will be good on the show. Both for entertainment and also in the game itself. She’s very easy to watch, at least on their interview video, and seems to have her mind made up of how to play the game. I really see her going far in the game with a great attitude and some hardcore game play. I really think Michelle is someone to watch out for.

Paloma / 24 / Downey, CA / Student

Paloma is someone that will be very unseen in the first part of the show, similar to Natalie last season. She doesn’t seem to have a mean bone in her body, her parents were missionaries after all. Her bio states that she’s a social butterfly and that will either help or hurt her in the game. If she can control it and be friends with the right people she could do well, but being friends with everyone is never a good idea in Survivor.

Randy / 49 / Eagle Rock, Missouri / Wedding Videographer

Randy is a bit strange it seems as he tries to crack jokes in his interview video that just aren’t funny to anyone else but himself. I don’t see him being that annoying on the show but I have a feeling if the people are dealing with it everyday it may get on some nerves. Who knows he may be the new Jonathan Penner but I doubt that.

Susie / 47 / Charles City, Iowa / Hairdresser

Susie is someone I think will add a lot of life to the show. She’s doing it to finally do something for herself and I think that’s reason enough to like her. I think she can become the camp mom for her tribe and will hopefully not be targeted for being in the “older” group. Maybe she’ll even become the next Sandra and surprise us all with a fiery mouth! Hopefully that’s the case but we can’t know for sure until September 25th!
