Cut - Dave Johnson

304. Dave Johnson - Season 6 - Survivor: Amazon

So, Dave Johnson is, at least within the context of Survivor, a man of many contradictions and just overall confusing gameplay. So, he starts off on the men's tribe and gives this huge speech about how the men will dominate because they are "men of Pride" (wtf does that even mean???) and that they'll just crush the women. Now, keep in mind that this will be a recurring theme for Dave as his story progresses. Anyways, they go to the immunity challenge and Dave, being the rocket scientist he is, gets placed on the puzzle portion of the challenge. Now, normally, you'd be think that the rocket scientist could pull off a puzzle right? 'Wrong! 'He fails miserably, and in a moment of poetic justice, loses to the women. Now, you'd think that this stops here with just him losing. Oh no. When the men come back to camp, of course, honorable Dave is there to remind the men to keep their pride in check. Yes, the same Dave who said that those "freakin' men of Pride" (again, wtf does that even mean?) would crush the women.

So, he more or less fades into obscurity until he's picked to have a retreat with Jenna, who spills ALL of her tribe's secrets to Dave. Of course, he then picks Heidi, Jenna's main ally to be on his tribe in order to weaken her, I guess? I don't know. Not a smart social strategy pissing off the other tribe leader imo, but whatever! Anyways, so, you'd think that, having picked Heidi among two other women from Jaburu, he'd stick to his guns and try to get out Heidi, right? 'WRONG! AGAIN! 'He decides that he wants to get on Jenna's good side all of a sudden, and votes out Jeanne, who was on the outs of OG Jaburu.

As you might expect, Dave the rocket scientist enters the merge thinking that the men will stick together and that no bonds were formed on NuJaburu. What they did not account for, however, was Rob Cesternino playing Survivor. Dave, alongside Roger and Butch, were left in the vast minority and Dave was eventually knocked out of the game for being a physical threat.
