18.  Rocky is one of the reason  his tribe didn't win - he too negative..

SEASON #13 - AITUKAKI, COOK ISLAND - YUL

The first time a reality show wants to face the issue of race.  It was done in a nice way.  I still think this is way of trying to talk about race issues.  It is also about youth vs. older players.  We need to talk more about the race issues.  We can not be afraid of the it.

                          FINAL THREE
1st:  Yul
2nd:  Ozzy
3rd:  Becky

                                        SUMMARY
1.  Christina is too honest & a little bossy.  It proves that police officer make poor player.
2.  After 3 episodes
  the tribes are divided back to 2 tribes.  Roro & Aitu.
3.  Jessica (Flica)  doesn't want to join any alliances.  Just Courtney in previous season just want to make friends.
4.  In the swim challenge Brad doesn't want swim but do the puzzle causing Rebecca to swim which couldn't keep up with Ozzy.
5.  SURVIVOR AUCTION:  Sundra didn't  bid on anything but bid  on one thing which was sea urchin.
6.  In another swim challenge - Ozzy should gone last which was the furthest leg.
7.  The younger people want to relax instead of building shelter.
8.  JP thought he could be lazy & not work but the girls have the numbers.  (stupid)
9.  How could Sundra & Becky not be able to make fire in the tie breaker.
10.  Wish they stay in the original tribe a little longer.
11.  Rebecca didn't fight for herself at Tribal Council.  She was so quiet I forgot about her.
12.  Jonathan was becoming rude - he didn't see  how the other see him.  He played too hard.  He didn't take in considerate that the younger player wanted to play games instead of thinking strategy.
13.  A lot of players were not playing or strategist e.g. Pravati, Nate, too busy being friends.
14.  After the merge -the younger player just want to get drunk & making  love instead of playing.
15.  I liked what Sundra  said about Blacks not being able to swim - that THEY (current players) were just city kids & do not excess to swimming pools.  But they are many Blacks that do swim. (see future seasons).    Nate can swim & I ( whom is black) can swim.
16.  This season brought out lot of stereotypical issues which was some true & some was broken.
                                            UPDATE
17.    On the water challenges you should put the weaker swimmer first or swim the leg to less.  Ozzy always swam first or on the leg when he has to swim shorter distance & Saundra the greatest distance.  (mistake).
                                                 8-1-2014  UPDATED SUMMARY
18.  I notice that TV cameras have lot of close of Parvati & she does her famous sexy pose.  (enough)
19.  SURVIVOR 101 RULE:  Jessica needs to know it - she wanted everyone to tell her that she being voted off - WRONG!!!
20.  Billy & Sekous' theory  was wrong - that acting bossy then lazy was going to work.
                                                  10-7-2014 UPDATE SUMMARY
21.  It show some stereotypes but many are prove to be not true e.g.  Blacks can't swim - Nate can swim; Asians are smart - Becky prove that wrong;

FAMOUS:
JP will star in upcoming Janice Dickerson's reality show.
