User blog:CoolUnderdog/Recap of Episode 1 of World Invasion

In a studio live, the four analysts and former Survivor players give their intakes.

Wally Welcome to the Survivor: World Invasion Recap Show. I'm Wally Matthews, joined alongside Dexter Solo, Patrice Sampson, and Larson Washington as my analysts. We just got through an exciting episode one and it's very sad that Tuya was the first person voted out of the game. Wouldn't you agree guys?

Dexter I think so. I think Tuya came in a little hard and she really didn't know the ropes of Survivor. That's the case with everybody who plays this game. You either know the ropes or you don't and she didn't know the ropes unfortunately. So I was not too surprised that she was eliminated.

Wally We'll get to that later, but Patrice, Tuya had Wolfgang in her sights because he was weird, yet we never saw clear evidence of that in the show. Bad editing or was she trying to stir the pot?

Patrice Well, there's that meets the eye that we didn't see. I don't see Wolfgang as being weird and all that. I think he can be a nuisance, but to be weird, which is a high school term I would use, takes more then what he did. So I think Tuya might have the right mindset, just not the right reasons.

Wally You think she made the right move of targeting Wolfgang?

Patrice I'm not saying it was right to target Wolfgang. What I'm saying is she had the mindset to make the move early. But her reasoning was just awful. You want to vote for someone who you feel could ruin the chemistry of this tribe or someone who's weak. Wolfgang's a strong player, but he was somebody who might've been seen as someone to ruin the chemistry. Tuya owns fault for this because she misread the reasons why Wolfgang should be voted out.

Wally Now Larson, there's an argument that the MVP for this episode was Skyler because she flipped on the tribe. Do you agree with that?

Larson Well I think the MVP has go to both Skyler and Gary because they both had Tuya written down. It was Gary who came up with the plan. The only problem was they needed a fourth vote to secure themselves and that's what they got from Skyler. She just decided to flip and send Tuya home. I think props go to both of them, but the audience will probably select Skyler for that.

Wally Quickly talk about the other tribes. Starting with Cortes, did you guys like Bella and what she was trying to do?

Dexter I did. I think Bella not giving the impression to Santa on her motives was wonderful. You want to find a reason to have so you can look for it and Bella got points for that. Just only wished she would've looked down below her feet though.

Patrice Another thing to consider is that Santa is not the youngest, so his memory could be a factor here. Bella got away with that because of that factor. If it had been someone else, that person might have been suspicious. So she deserves praise for that.

Larson It only gets harder for her because everyone's at camp and the idol is out there. Renata is the only person who recognizes her as a threat. So it's going to be a rough road for Bella I believe.

Wally Larson, do you think Tito's alliance with Dennis is real?

Larson No! Tito knows who Dennis is. It's just a matter about voting him out.

Wally Looking to Pizarro, Phoebe was selected to go to camp along with the person she chose and that was Sumiko. Right choice Patrice?

Patrice Absolutely! You want someone who knows little of you or you think knows nothing about you and also someone who can be smart in this game. I think Phoebe made the right choice picking Sumiko because she knows nothing about Phoebe and she clearly is smart and has other qualities to her game. So Phoebe made the right choice.

Wally Dexter, Raj is a snakecharmer and he talks about it in this episode. Do you see a problem with it?

Dexter In terms of personality, no. I don't Raj's profession become a distraction to Pizarro. It appears they have a very tight tribe and I think could win challenges for a while until they split up I feel. So I don't see Raj becoming a problem for them.

Wally Now we get to our other stuff. We have the MVP nominees which you can vote for at the end of every episode. They are Bella, Gary, and Skylar. Dexter, you're MVP is.

Dexter Skyler, she caused the flip and it paid off for her.

Wally Patrice?

Patrice I also said Skylar. Same reason as Dexter and she didn't trust Tuya's plan to make Wolfgang out because Wolfgang in her eyes might be someone to take to the end down the line.

Wally And how about you Larson?

Larson Well I say Gary because he seemed to have the idea of Tuya's elimination. Give credit to the guy who came up with the plan.

Wally Well my MVP vote has to be Bella because she clearly got off to a strong start by looking for the idol. She didn't find it, but she knows it's there. So now we choose a tribe who goes to Tribal next week. Dexter, you're pick.

Dexter After tonight, I think Hillary's going to be untouched for awhile. So I'm picking Cortes.

Wally Patrice?

Patrice Hillary's going have problems between four vs. Hakeem I think. I'm picking Hillary.

Wally Larson?

Larson Hillary we'll be stronger then the other two and they will send Pizarro to Tribal Council.

Wally So we have a three-way tie and it looks I'm the deciding vote here. I agree that Hillary will be stronger now without Tuya. However, I also agree that Pizarro will not be hit for a while. I feel Cortes got away with a win last time. They won't do it again. That's going to wrap things up here. Till next time, for Larson Washington, Patrice Sampson, and Dexter Solo, I'm Wally Matthews saying so long to next time. Good night.
