Survivor: Micronesia - Episode 12 "I'm Gonna Fix Her!" Recap

oscardahl · 05-01-2008, 02:55 PM

Injury eliminations are the worst. This Survivor season has been annoying in that way – it kind of bastardizes the entire game when a strong contestant is simply removed from the playing field. The unfortunate Survivor: Micronesia castaway tonight was grave digger James Clement, whose finger malady was deemed too serious to not be taken care of at a hospital. James didn't put up much of a fight when told he had to leave – I found this strangely endearing (maybe it was just my James man-crush kicking in). However, James' departure was not near the biggest story of the episode. After a full week arguing the merits of the hidden immunity idol, and how difficult it is to play it correctly, Survivor viewers treated to a devastating blindside.

This was the best successful use of the idol to keep the idol-player in the game, but my other favorite time was when one alliance convinced the other that they were voting for the idol holder, so he played it for no reason since they voted for someone else. That was AWESOME.

Good going Amanda. Finally someone fooled everyone, then presented the Idol.

Way to go, Amanda! Keeping it on the down-low and then whipping out the idol at the last second was a stroke of genius

Oh my! Tribal councils are fun to watch again!! The past three have been great. I'm so glad Amanda got the idol, though I still want Cirie in the final two. I would have rather seen Natalie leave, but it was still a great move by Amanda and Parvati.

I thought the play of the idol was great and the i also read that amanda and ozzy are still together in real life, they live together, which i hope is true. i want her to win so bad, i just don't know if she can make it.

WOW! What a tribal council! Amanda is such a class-act. Gotta adore her for that. Hope she could make it through the next round....

Amanda and Cirie in the final two would make me very happy.

OMG! This is the best episode I've ever seen! Amanda is my favorite at this point. Hopefully Erik and Natalie will go next.

hilarious episode. i loved amanda's fake "waaaah i'm going home" attitude. she was playing it up a little too much though. but i just loved the expression on everyone's faces when she pulled it out
