Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 26 Episode 5 "Persona Non Grata"



Tom's Take:


 Jesus, this episode was a travesty. Survivor needs a tribe swap because I am sick of where the season is right now. This episode was more like an episode of Jerry Springer than Survivor, and Brandon's insanity had NOTHING to do with the game. That's not to say it was not entertaining, but I like the GAMEPLAY






So here are our players. 




1. Andrea: 83 Points.

 Was Andrea responsible for Brandon's breakdown at all? I don't know why she would tell Brandon, Phillip was targeting him. I guess she just lost control of the game.

Pre-Season Prediction: Early Boot.
1st Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Juror.
3rd Episode Prediction Early Boot.
4th Episode Prediction: Late Juror.
5th Episode Prediction: Late Juror.


2. Brandon Hantz:  161 Points.

Yeah. So Brandon is a bit bi-polar. I feel like Survivor somewhat exploited him, and that's sort of sad.

Preseason Prediction: Pre-Merge
1st Episode Prediction: Early Boot
2nd Episode Prediction: Early Boot
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
4th Episode Prediction: I think he's being taken out of the game next week.
5th Episode Quit.


3. Brenda: 70 points.

I think Brenda is having some great competition outings, and I'm still hopeful she takes a bigger role in future arcs in this season.

Preseason Prediction: Winner
1st Episode Prediction: Winner (but probably not for long.)
2nd Episode Prediction: Pre-Merge Boot
3rd Episode Prediction: Early Juror
4th Episode Prediction: Late Juror
5th Episode Prediction: Late Juror



4. Corinne: 87 Points.

Corinne survived the whole "let's get Corinne out" scheme, and hopefully she'll take control of the game once there's a tribe swap.

5. Dawn: 71 Points

Dawn had the most sympathetic point of view to me in this episode, as I think she just genuinely felt bad for what was going on with Brandon.

18. Reynold: 106 Points.

Reynold found another idol! Good for him. I think he's going to have a point in the game where he's in control, but then he'll blow it with his arrogance.

20. Sherri 72 Points

Sherri lost control of the game, and I see her leaving very very soon. The fact that Jeff was so harsh on her during the reward challenge was just a cherry on top of her shit sundae.
