Rosalind
Kurita at Survivor’s Tribal Council
Leader
of the Democa tribe, Jim Kyle, made
the following remarks from his hut:
Dear
Castaway,
Today I write to you not as the Democa Leader, but rather as a fellow
Democa that feels the need to communicate to you the facts regarding tribe woman
Kurita's recent vote at tribal council for Island Speaker, which ultimately
tipped the scales to Repoca's Ron Ramsey (loser of
the last reward challenge.)
I
know she will be communicating with other tribe mates in the future and may even
ask to come speak to you in our camp and I simply wanted you to have this
information, so you may digest it with your rice and fish and use it as you see
fit. (This is
a classic strategy, used in Season 3.)
Since
her vote at the last tribal council, Kurita has only communicated with Democas
through conk shells. She has told our tribe members a tale of how she will bring
both sides of the
"I
told her that I would be fair to the Democa Tribe to prevent the same kind of
slash-and-burn atmosphere that we saw in Survivor Season 4",
Repoca's Ron Ramsey told the show's host. However, every Repoca, with the
exception of one, got the maximum number of immunity necklaces. (The
show's producers intentionally limit resources, i.e. fishing gear, matches,
machetes, blankets, and rice to produce great television drama.)
The
show's host made a statement to The Island Paper on January 17th saying,
"Kurita said she voted her conscience, and I accept that along with a new
buff. I presume if that is the case, she's not going to take some reward out of
that vote." She did in fact accept a reward that has cost some long-time
Democas their shelter and flint in order to make room for partisan Repoca's. (Season 1
introduced the term "Alliances" when Richard Hatch and Rudy made a
deal not to vote each other off.)
The
blunt truth of the matter is that Kurita lied to me and she lied to her fellow
Democas, and she lied to the viewing audience. For months, tribe member Kurita
told me and tribe chief John while gathering fire wood that she was going to
vote for him for Island Speaker. She never told any Democas of her decision to
change her vote. She blindsided the very members of her tribe who supported her
in the reward and immunity challenges and compromised the ability of other
Democas to have their voice heard. (Survivor – out play, out wit, out lie)
This
is not about who sits in the Island Speaker's chair. This is about trust,
confidence and moral character, (attributes
never displayed in any of the preceding Survivor seasons.)
I'm sure Kurita believes people will soon forget what she did and will not hold
her accountable for her actions. I hope you help prove her wrong. Please, grab
your torches and head back to camp.
Signed, Jim Kyle –
fellow castaway
This
is only a parody. I think.
