Survivor Recap: Hands Tied


A player goes home thanks to a Kafkaesque set of rules.

This episode proved that all the things I (and plenty of other fans) hate about the post– Winners at War status quo created a crisis in the game itself, which led to one person on a tribe of four deciding who gets to go home. Similarly, everything we learn at Lagi (purple like the nerple) — about how Eva is throwing out Thomas and Bianca’s names, and they’re now gravitating closer to Star in order to get her out — is negated. He’s essentially ruined his whole game after being painted into a corner thanks to a Kafkaesque set of rules that had to be written because there are too many twists, too many risks, too many people losing their votes, which is something that should never happen.
