In a move that would make Homer Simpson proud, "Survivor" player Coby Archa came down from a perch and paid a heavy price for a sugar fix. A donut! Two donut! Yummie! Can I hear $1 million dollars bid -- for a glazed donut!
The day before, favorite Stephanie was moved to tears when she found out she could go play with the others. Team Ulong was dissolved and she went over to the other camp to continue the game. The newest Koror team members enjoyed hanging with the group, learning to fish from local Palau natives, and watching Tom get shitfaced and floored on a little rum.
The Koror tribe were then given the first Palau Individual Immunity Challenge - to stand on a perch in the water endurance test. After the first hour, host Jeff Probst made things interesting when he brought out four donuts and offered them to who ever would give up first. Zing! That would be whiny loser Coby.
His little gamble was a huge mistake. At a market price of say 75 cents per donut, the $1 million dollar prize he put at risk could have fetched him 1.3 million donuts had he only tried harder to stay in the game.
And it was even more incredible considering the previous night's party of fresh fish and rum the tribe enjoyed, that all but one of the "Survivor" players would risk Immunity for a donut, a handful of chocolate chips cookies or a couple of slices of pizza. Everyone fell for the temptation, except the NYC firefighter Tom who faked everyone out and only had to last only 3 hours on the stump rather than stand all night. Which he would have done.
But back to Coby. The 32-year-old hairstylist from Texas gave up a shot at Immunity in order to feast on two donuts. Later that night, tribe Koror quickly seized the opportunity to vote Coby off the island. I'm not sorry to see this whiny ass go away. The Tribe has spoken, Coby. I'll bet he tears up now everytime someone offers him a donut . . .
