Rhino, contestant - Epiosde 1 Blog

Hey guys, Rhino here with my first of many weekly blogs concerning Survivor Bush: Hidden Oaks. For starters let me thank Josh Pereira, all those who participated, from the very first castaway to the sole survivor, and the unsung heroes of Survivor Bush, the production crew. Mainly though I would like to thank our fan base for taking the time to let us know how much they cared by watching and leaving comments to cheer or jeer us on.



For starters words cannot explain how excited I was at the start of this season. I know that’s a rather cliché thing to say but it is the god honest truth. While waiting for my pre-game interview I was literally shaking. Apparently I wasn’t the only one with butterflies in my stomach because after carefully observing everyone’s face in the opening sequence of episode one I can tell they felt the same way. As for feelings and emotions enough of that crap! Let’s talk survivor. Upon winning what was deemed “the good campsite” morale in the newly formed Adai tribe was beginning to climb, that was until we got there. The footage from the episode does not do justice as to how much of a jungle that place really was. I guess I was spoiled in the fact that the campsite in season one had been cleared prior to our arrival. Season one was filled with so many B.S. twists I figured that this was a typical Survivor Bushism and was waiting for Josh to tell us something along the lines of “You see there’s a twist, Adai is really the bad camp” as he does that gremlin smile of his and walks away laughing at his new guinea pigs. Quickly we got to work and let me tell you that place was a real Hellhole. Treacherous thorn bushes that would scare off even Bulbasaur ambushed every member of the tribe. Paranoia quickly set in for Forrest and I. As veterans we immediately started to mark targets and strategize. The campsite became a flashback of a second grade recess as sexes split apart. I reached out to my fellow comrades and thus an alliance was formed. Michael was my right hand man, and I made a pact that should I make it to the finals I would take him with me every step of the way.



Okay, start section 3 of the episode and listen to the rules of the water challenge. By that take Josh had explained the rules about 7 times and still no one really understood. Don’t get me wrong J.P. makes a great host but would fail more epically than the Titanic’s maiden voyage if he ever decided to teach Physical Education. Tuscaroora’s girls were clearly better athletes than our girls, who gave us no help during the challenge. Also I made a critical mistake and threw the ball to our girls whilst they were defending. Sure it made me look like a jackass but I laugh every time I watch it. My bad Adai tribe, I guess according to my early game philosophy, the tribe should’ve voted me off first. Tuscaroora made quick work of us in water polo 9000 or whatever that ridiculous challenge is named. Afterwards we headed back to camp demoralized. I recall thinking that we were going to lose every challenge. Even though we had to go to tribal I felt safe. I knew as a competitor the tribe needed to keep my around. What the viewer did not get to see is pre tribal there was some what of a communication breakdown as to who was going to go. Zac informed me that we were going to vote Kay off when the whole time Mike and I thought the tribe was sending of Veronica. Mike never get the memo and cast his vote towards Veronica. This explains the confusion in his face at the end of tribal. Well that’s all I got for y’all this week but please be on the lookout for episode two next Thursday.
