Survivor Brawns, Brains, Beauty (S28E06) "The Head of the Snake"

It hasn't been worth the effort to blog about Survivor BBB to this point from the last time I wrote.  Though interesting, The choices have been pretty logical. 

The 3 tribes merged into 2 with all 3 remaining members of the Brains tribe being fortunate to be on the same team.  They were matched with 3 members of the former Beauty team...who were tripping over themselves to let the Brain team know how much they hated each other...and one member from the former Brawn team; Sarah (the Cop).  With a smirk, the Brains took out a member of the former Beauty team and thus had run of the tribe.  Since I can't remember the name of the new tribe, I will just call them 'The new Brains tribe'.



Pictured above is Tony; one hell of a player.  A Jersey City cop with much Savvy.  With this new tribe, he was calling the shots.  Since I can't remember the name of that tribe...let's call them 'Tony's Tribe'.



On Tony's tribe, Cliff (former NBA player) was voted out.  It was more of a strategic move.  His one ally; Lindsay bailed out of the game.  Being a lazy, weak bully didn't seem to work for her after she didn't have the numbers to back it up.  She must have sucked like a nuclear Hoover...because after she left, the team had a strong spirit and excellent energy!

On winning the last immunity challenge, Tony made a strategic error in his elation and declared his team to be the "Final 5!".  Since he had made a promise to Sarah previously, she realized that, despite his promise otherwise, she was no longer part of his alliance.  The remaining (former) Beauty members realized that they had to play the game smart...Thus 'The new Brain Tribe'  and 'Tony's Tribe' polarized into brand new alliances.

This takes us up to Episode 06
 
There is a merge.  11 players merge into a brand new tribe.  All the 6 in the dominant position need to do is to stay focused.  Sarah (The Policewoman):

 
Decides that she is in a position of power.  She takes dominance of 'The new brain tribe' alliance.  2 of the original Brain tribe (the council of 3;  Spencer, Kass, Tasha) played it smart and let Sarah 'Call the Shots' if she wanted to believe she was.  Kass, on the other hand, got a total nerd boner against Sarah (a Spaz) and made an emotional decision to side with Tony's Alliance and voted against her own alliance ... killing the majority advantage of her own alliance. 
 
Kassandra;  More Flaky than a Spanikopita
 
Despite the friction between Kass and Sarah, Latasha tried to smooth things over with them both.  She was fairly nice with Sarah because, as a possible swing vote, they need to keep on her good side.  Despite the logic of this, Kass decided that it was like a parent that was playing favorites.  That seems indicative of her emotional immaturity taking precedence over her ability for logical reasoning.  This isn't the first time this game that Kass has gone neurotic in the 'Swing' position.  It seems she takes pride in being (as she calls herself:) "Chaos Kass".  Flexing her muscle of arbitrariness as she did before...like she never had even a bit of power in her life and only abused it when she had it.  The rest of the members of the New Brains alliance played it smart.  They made it look like they were going to vote for LJ or Tony...and, after flushing out both idols in Tony's alliance to protect those 2 members, they all voted for Jefra:
 
 
Flush out 2 idols and reducing the opposing alliance numbers by 1?  Brilliant.  Well it would have been except the Attorney at Spaz Mindlesson and Assoc. (Kass) Blew it with an emotional decision.
 
 
Where does that leave Kassandra?  As near as I can figure it...she's going out in 6th place.  Neither alliance really trusts her.  In Tony's 5...she's the outsider.  In the New Brain alliance...she's someone who can't be trusted.  It would be in the Brains' best interest to keep her thinking that she's safe.  If she continues to be unpredictable then no one really has any use for her. 
 
The vote at tribal council did flush out 2 hidden immunity idols held by Tony's Alliance.  It also removed the potential of a flip by former Brawn member.  Now the field is truly level.  Two alliances of 5 members each and no immunity idols to be played. 
 
The Monosexual (she fucked herself).
