Survivor: Jonny Farewell

On Thursday, Survivor Micronesia: Fans vs. Favorites premiered. As feared, the concept is awkward. The competition is mismatched. The drama is diluted. The “favorites” are not truly beloved. They are akin to scattered acquaintances.

For immunity, the tribes traversed an obstacle course. The fans garnered victory. Pre-tribal council, Jonny Fairplay lamented his situation. He discussed his daughter. He pondered an exodus. Immediately, speculation sizzled. What was Fairplay’s motive? His competitors did not care. Via a virtually unanimous vote, Jonny Fairplay was eliminated.
