how she hung herself

Lisi is outta there, and I could care less. Bye, Lisi! Have a good life. Have fun picking the person who wants to win a million dollars. Talk about wishy-washy. After Ravu lost the Immunity Challenge, yet again, Lisi confessed that her tribemates were a bunch of losers, and she was sick of it. I was mildly surprised, though, to see her then appeal to Alex that she was done. I mean, it's one thing to be sick of your tribemates, and to be down about losing every freaking challenge. (Although, what about her earlier comment re: not taking Reward Challenges seriously? For that alone, she deserved the boot.) It is totally another to just check out of the game. It's like, super, Osten. Go for it. Not sad to see you go.

Think about the process it takes to get on Survivor. Lengthy, I'm sure, rigorous, and super-selective. In many cases, I assume you would have to quit your job. You're there to play for a million dollars; unless there's a legitimate health reason, you might as well stick it out. But Lisi's even bigger mistake was later reneging on her desire to leave. Sorry, Lisi, but we can't "cut you a break." You just can't do that. It's one thing to say, in a moment of weakness, you know, I'm tired of this. Or, You know, I could really go for some mashed potatoes. But she made a whole speech, convinced the skeptical Alex that there was no talking her out of it.

Dreamz did quite beautifully defending himself at Tribal Council, I thought, despite some of his questionable word choices ("recipitation?). I am so proud to say that K.Lo will also one day attend New Hanover County schools and learn all about "sharlakas," or whatever the hell he said instead of "soliloquy." He verbally cornered Lisi with the simple question, "Do you want to be here?" and she couldn't, or wouldn't, answer. At that point, lying, just saying yes, would have helped her save face, but instead she clammed up, making her indecision evident. And you can't be indecisive about wanting to stay on Survivor.

So, have fun with Rocky, Lisi, on your Fijian vacation. In the meantime, can't wait to see the crew move to the Land of Sea Snakes next week. Except, does that mean no one will have a chance to find the fake I.I.? Bummer.
