...thought it could get away with taking last week off. The suits knew ahead of time that it was actually going to follow the Way of Drama and come down to this, the moment when four of the former members of Ogakor were going to look at Elisabeth and Rodger, and look at each other, and get rid of Jerri. For the sole purpose of making their time in the Outback a lot more pleasant...
...more Kel than we needed (he's strong in his mind and his body, by the way). None of which was much use to the show's water-cooler punditocracy. Right now, viewers are looking forward at the survivors, not backward at the losers. There was some illumination of Rodger and Elisabeth - it seems neither is the guileless character actor we suppose them to be - and Jerri got her singing audition for her agent to flog back in L.A. And the show opened with a funny bit about Colby snoring away Ogakor's first night in camp...
...with the only likely suspense of the next three weeks centering on whether one of the three remaining Kucha-ites can crack the Ogakor alliance, it would have behooved CBS to treat viewers to every available insight into the minds of not only Rodger, Elisabeth and Nick but the vulnerable Jerri and the swing vote Colby. At 99 hours a week, there had to have been more of that than what...
...just the bickering, the cliques and the Colby-tugging. Now it's the bickering, the cliques, the Colby-tugging and the Jerri watch. The former favorite has been marked for death by the dwindling Kucharians, and now it'll be a free-for-all among Elisabeth, Rodger and Nick to try and break up the enemy and save themselves...
...none of them seem particularly up to the job, mentally or morally. The viewers will live - Rodger is starting to make me a little uncomfortable with his very friendly hugging of the nearest comely lass. Nick's a dud. And Elisabeth - well, she's a peach, but the I-just-want-to-stay-here-with-my-friends-a-while-longer stuff is simply not helping a show that could use a little more scheming these days...
