'Survivor: Nicaragua': NaOnka Mixon goes a little nutty
At "Survivor: Nicaragua's" latest Tribal Council, NaOnka went a little crazy, but it didn't matter because the women finally got their act together and sent Marty packing. Post-Tribal
Everyone was pretty annoyed with Marty's anti-Jane rant at Tribal Council, so if he doesn't win Immunity this week, I'd be surprised if he stuck around. Marty, of course, thinks everybody but him is "just stupid." His big plan is to make everybody think NaOnka is going home, so the Idol is flushed out, but having everybody blindside Jane.
Reward Challenge
The tribe is divided into two teams -- it just happens to end up men vs. women, which is hilarious. Because there is an odd number, Chase was not chosen and has to sit out, but he gets to chose one team to back and if they win, he goes with them on the reward. He chooses the women -- I think I would too. The winning team gets a treetop zip line tour and a barbecue.
The obstacle course starts with crawling through hay and the women take a slight lead, but when they get to the key portion, they are neck and neck. They crawl under ropes and again, neck and neck. When they have to bust through sticks, the men open up a lead that they never relinquish -- Jane's age shows as she can barely finish the course. The girls make a valiant effort, but that obstacle course was just not made for men vs. women, as evidence by the women barely being able to break through the brick wall.
Jeff does say at the end that nobody could've ever guessed that the challenge would've ended up men vs. women -- clearly they did not plan for that. So he puts the guys on the spot to see if any of them want to give up their spot for any of the women -- and nobody does. Interesting. If the women have any brains at all, they will use this opportunity to align against someone as a 6-person-strong alliance.
Reward
The reward looks awesome -- zip lines rule. Marty uses the BBQ as a chance to align the men he's with to act like NaOnka is going home but it's really going to be Jane. I hope the women are doing this back at camp to get Marty off.
And they are -- they talk about getting Marty out, but Brenda may not be on board. She doesn't come right out and say it, but she seems hesitant. Chase calls her out on it and then she doesn't like him nagging her about it. Back off, Chase. You're going to drive her into the other alliance's arms. Stop being so needy.
Immunity Challenge
The challenge involves a series of symbols and repeating the sequence back using a block. I would be all about mneumonics for this. SMAWMS -- ship, musket, anchor, wheel, musket, ship. In the first round, Jane and NaOnka go out on the third symbol. Geez, guys. That's weak. Dan goes down next. Marty is totally going to win this. Ugh.
Holly, Kelly and Sash go down next. Everybody else survives the first round. The next round is MSCADMW -- musket, ship, coins, anchor, dagger, musket, wheel. Fabio goes down right away and then Chase. So it's Marty, Benry and Brenda. Then Benry goes out. C'mon, Brenda. Beat Marty!
On the second-to-last symbol, Brenda says musket and knows she won when Marty picks the wheel. Yay Brenda!
Post-Challenge
Fabio and Benry think they need to just lay low and see how things shake out. Marty starts to plant the seeds for NaOnka going home -- he approaches Brenda and she seems like quite the swing vote. She approaches Sash about not liking Chase/Holly/Jane calling the shots and maybe voting off someone other than Marty, but we don't really see what they might do.
Tribal Council
Jane vs. Marty is the hot topic and Brenda agrees that Jane is the biggest threat to win the money. Woo, doesn't Alina look pretty? Anyway, the conversation turns to NaOnka and she kind of smacks Jeff down for calling her out. When then gets into it about Marty -- she just doesn't like him. Yeah, I can sympathize NaOnka. But I don't like you either, Na.
She gets a little nutty and starts dropping f-bombs, whle Marty just laughs in his condescendingly superior manner. Jeff is flabbergasted that NaOnka is still in the game, but Jeff -- OF COURSE she is. Nobody likes her and she will NEVER win the money. It would be hard not to take her.
The Vote
We see Jane and Marty vote for each other. Then the votes go Jane, Marty, Jane, Jane, Jane, Marty, Marty, Marty, Marty and Marty. Yay!

Why do you end the story with "yay!" (about Marty being voted off)? I don't think he's as annoying as people make him out to be and he was 100% right about Jane... you need to get rid of the likeable people, they are the real threat in this game. But nobody seems to grasp this when playing the game. WHY don't they after all these years of watching???
This is a GAME. You're there to make 1 million dollars, NOT to make friends. And if you're smart you get rid of the nice and likeable people and keep the unlikeable/mean/snakes around to give yourself a better chance of winning should you last to the end.
OH and let's PLEASE have a cold/snow climate "Survivor". If they're afraid of frostbite and such for those playing, then provide them all with appropriate clothing and gear but stick them out in the middle of nowhere to survive.
I'm not suggesting they go to the North or South Pole. But I'd LOVE to see one of these:
"Survivor: Swiss Alps"
"Survivor: Alaska"
"Survivor: Siberia"
etc.
ZAP2IT... how about you do an article on this (on what I just suggested for the cold climate Survivor)?
Why is that ghetto trash still on the show? I can stomach just about any person you "love to hate" but this scab is too much. Did you see her pouting when Marty chewed her out?
Na'onka is the most disgusting, low class, useless, Survivor EVER. Her heart and soul are so ugly she finds it necessary to make everything and everybody around her feel ugly as well. I feel the most sorry for Jud who has to put up with her and I am sorry to see Marty go - at least he called Na'onka out for the trash heap she is.
nice! at least marty's out now, he's so full of himself. naonka won't win this, so it's ok, as long as marty's booted out. hahaha good for him!
I kind of liked Marty,he at least was smart,just too full of himself. NaOnka though is a terrible waste of flesh. She is a teacher? she should be fired. I have never disliked a player as much as I dislike her. She isnt playing the game, her true evil self shows. Wouldnt it be great if at the end we find out Jud/Fabio has been "playing" clueless??
I didn't care much for Marty either, but at least he tried to play the game. I have never seen such a boring cast in Survivor. It's more like "High School Musical: Survivor Edition". Hopefully the guys wake up and start playing & making moves or Brenda is just going to take the money while napping.

I hope it rains hard again.. and NaOnka quits. You just know she will.
Marty was full of himself but he did know the game... and the rest of these idiots could just hand Jane the check right now. I think Brenda and Sash should have gotten rid of Jane this week... and Marty next week.
NaOnka is total trash.
Sash and Brenda are REALLY playing the game. I even liked Marty. Dan is just holding on, although his knee didn't bother him when he thought he was getting BBQ. As for NaOnka - WOW! She's not even playing the game. She's a horrible person and should be off the show.
Chase is an idiot - but he always was. First he was Brenda's puppy - now he's Janes ! UGH. I hate Naonka - pure trash - but it's smart to keep her now. but it also would have been smart to keep Marty as Na and Marty are the least liked in the tribe. Should have sent Jane home, or Chase just because he's an idiot. Brenda is the smart one - has them all - even Nay - towing the line and walking on eggshells around her. "don't annoy Brenda' "she hates paranoia & drama so be calm".
