What I was actually referring to was my episode 1Survivorwinner prediction.
And then last season, I came damn close again with Cirie.
So why no prediction last week?

many of you asked.
Frankly, I just forgot.
And that pick is…Charlie.
Due to a bunch of logistical snafus, its not coming back, at least not this season.
But youre unlikely to miss it when you see what else we have lined up for you.
Or, if youre really impatient, you might just clickhere.
Okay, now that we have that business out of the way, lets get to it.
Episode 3 began with G.C.
refusing to go down to two meals a day because some other people wasted rice.
His philosophy seems to boil down to Oh, you want to waste rice?
Ill show you how to waste some damn rice!
NEXT: Fang wins!
But would their lack of leadership continue to kill them in the challenges?
It certainly looked that way for the reward competition in round 1 when Matty and G.C.
could not remove Ace from his pole position.
Let me just say this: G.C.s effort bordered on the pathetic.
Didnt even give a shot to pull.
This came on the heels of the first immunity challenge when he stopped digging for puzzle pieces.
You, however G.C.
Did you seeNorbit?!?
Do you understand the urgency of what I am saying here?
Pick it up, bro.
and Crystal (Get some!).
When it came to round 3, Fang didnt even bother sending G.C.
out again, opting for Crystal instead.
(Dude, Norbit.)
And wouldnt you know it?
That is not a misprint.
The leaderless, rice-devouring, non-hidden-immunity-idol-finding Fang tribe won a damn challenge!
And that member was Sugar.
Before we knew it, Sugar was in the jungle beginning to strip after being covered in fire ants.
What is this, Cinemax?
Judging by her next line of dialogue Sandy crater.
the answer is most definitely yes, thisisCinemax.Survivor After Dark, baby!
Wait…no, dont cry, Sugar.
No, no, its okay.
Dont start thinking about your father.
Get back to removing that pesky buff.
Cmon, baby, focus….Oh, forget it!
I suppose I shouldnt be surprised.
(you might see themhereif you want.)
I cant say I blame her, of course.
I have yet to lose a parent and Im sure it takes a heavy toll.
Just wished it had happenedaftershe removed all of her clothing.
No crying then.)
Thats the problem, actually theyre not even clues!
Go over here and search.
Now go over here and search.
Im very conflicted about this.
I do think the hidden immunity idol has becomewaytoo much of an automatic.
Basically, if you get sent to Exile, youll find it.
(Unless your name is Dan.)
That doesnt lead to much intrigue when someone gets sent there.
The flip side, of course, is the drama that having an extra immunity idol in play creates.
Still, this is starting to get a bit old.
Im sure there are others as well.
This actually was smart.
I will hate on him a bit, however, for putting Paloma instead of Sugar on that pole.
As Paloma herself said back at camp, shes the shortest person alive.
Lord, I love the word cahoots.
Okay, I have a few thoughts on the immunity challenge.
The first is this: I am totally down with Probsts new two-toneSurvivorbaseball caps.
Dont look at me!
I didnt send ya!
And then again in slow-motion.
And then again backwards.
And then three more times.
No, I am not a proud man.
But I am a happy one.
I was actually happy with this entire challenge.
Crap, wheres David Krumholtz when you need him!
Get the cast ofNumb3rson this, pronto!
And while youre at it, tell them to take that goofy number 3 out of their show title!
Personally, Im a bit bummed.
I was looking forward to watching a good ol fashioned tribe decimation.
But now wed finally get a chance to see who stacks up where on Kota.
I just watch and watch.
And then Im going to pounce on someone and eat em up.
Show of cyber hands of anyone that found this statement even remotely believable?
(Put your hand down, Chi-cago!
You too, Diggin!)
Of course the producers had to throw us a pump fake, and that pump fakes name was Ace.
No way did we want Ace to go.
He spins around on slip-and-slidesfor absolutely no reason whatsoever.
He scrunched his shoulders and looked skyward.
He elongated his face and bit his lip.He puffed out his cheeks.
Homeboy did it all!
Ace has to make it to at least the jury for that reason alone.
I wish Ace luck.
But not too much.
After all, I have a prediction at stake.
Okay, Its almost your turn to post.
(Which tribe are you rooting for?
How do Probsts new hats work for you?
Whats worse,Pluto NashorNorbit?)
But first, verify to check out the exclusiveSurvivorsecret scene below that didnt make it into last nights episode.
as bad at rapping as he is at immunity challenges?
You be the judge.
And what does the host-with-the-most (Emmys) think about all the latest goings on?
Take a gander at Jeff Probsts EW.com blog righthere.
After all, hes a hell of a lot smarter than I am.
All right, done both those things?
Then post away!!!
