Survivor Stock Ticker: Episode Nine

By John Powell – Binge News

On last night’s episode ‘Run The Red Light’ yet another New Era player went home with an Immunity Idol as a memento of their time on the island. An idol that would have saved their game and perhaps changed the balance of power as we near the final phase of Survivor 46. This is the fourth idol that was not played.

Not handing your idol over to Jiffy Probst at the start of the game or if you are made to feel comfortable by your trusted core alliance is understandable. But, on Day 19, with only EIGHT people left in the game and EVERYONE knowing you have an idol? There is NO excuse not to offer it up to Probst. How could you NOT? In that game of Tribal Council Chicken the odds are NOT in your favour.

And what about that outburst…or should I say temper tantrum by Liz? How embarrassing. Liz claims she has a lot of food allergies yet she volunteered to be cast on Survivor as a super fan knowing full well what kind of experience she was getting into. I am sorry she has so many issues but she should have been taught growing up that the world isn’t going to change for you. You have to be responsible for yourself. Directing her anger at Q was ridiculous as well. As the winner of the Reward Challenge, it was Q’s decision, part of his reward, to decide who to take with him. He doesn’t owe Liz anything and she has no right to demand anything from him. The entire scene was bewildering and childish.

On with this week’s Survivor Stock Ticker:

She should have known better and blew her own endgame. Not that she had much hope. Even her closest ally was out to get her.

She has risen to become a big threat but her social game is balancing that out nicely for her. She is the dark horse to win this season. Don’t sleep on Kenzie.

Working alongside Ben, Maria is proactive when she has to be. She put in a lot of work this episode.

He, Maria and Kenzie are running the game. With other targets on the board it would appear that Maria and Ben will be making the finals.

More and more Ben is being portrayed as a follower and not a leader. Someone who gets chopped right before the finals.

He very well could have the worst social game in Survivor history.

Who’s next to go?

It is pretty bad when people are stabbing you in the front at camp and Tribal Council too.

Tick. Tock. Tick Tock.

A social game alone will only take you so far on Survivor.
