Thank You Jesus!!!

Like most seasons of Survivor, South Pacific was dominated by one person. But for the first time, the dominate person was not even a contestant and has been dead for almost two thousand years: Jesus H. Christ. If Brandon Hantz and / Benjamin “Coach” Wade would have believe, it was Jesus who guided the ousting of everyone this season before them. And really Coach set up the template of how to vote out religious people on Survivor from here on out, tell them it is God’s will and the leaving contestant will hug you on the way out.

Let me be the last person to say that for all the praying going on this season, God does not care about how you play the game. He is not rooting for anyone because we are all God’s player. Though it may not be a coincidence that the same day Bandon got his torch snuffed that Tim Tebow got trounced on the football field. But when you are asking Jesus’ guidance for a meaningless reality show, it really boils down to either two characteristic inside you and we saw both this season. First you had the delusional Brandon Hantz who used religion to explain away his creepy behavior like how he handled his feelings for Mikayla Wingle. On the other side of the coin there was there was the narcissism of Coach who actually thought God cared more about his well being then everyone around him just because he was religious.

Showing that God really does not care who wins Survivor, neither Brandon or Coach ended up winning Survivor: South Pacific. Instead it actually for the first time in a very long time, the most deserving contestant won the title of Sole Survivor in Sophie Clarke. It was also one of the few tribal councils where I have no idea where any of the votes were going to and in a show that has become extremely predictable, it made for a very entertaining finale especially because the last three seasons where painfully bad to watch.

I actually rolled my eyes harder than Sophie whenever Brandon brought up religion when Jeff announced yet another twist for the next season. Survivor: One World where both tribes will be living on the same beach. One of the most glaring problems with Survivor for a very long time is that post merge, nobody switches tribes and John Cochran showed the very reason why no one has flipped alliances after the merge. With two tribes together, you can actually set extra-tribe alliances and should create a very large amount of blindside. Hopefully One World means the end of Redemption Island which was a massive failure for two seasons. Granted if they bring back Brandon and Russell I definitely will not be watching.

Survivor: South Pacific gets a on my Terror Alert Scale.
