The Other Idol: It was another Espada heavy week out there in SURVIVOR: NICARAGUA, but La Flor wasn’t without its developments. First and foremost, NaOnka and Brenda discovered the hidden immunity idol — well, NaOnka did, at least — but Brenda is no dummy, and after her boy toy Chase found himself with a clue to the idol’s location, she decided to confide in him that Nay already has it.
Some might call it a dumb move. It’s certainly a risky one, but I don’t think it’s dumb. Brenda has Chase wrapped around her finger and she knows it; he betrayed his all guy alliance by voting out Shannon just to save her life in the game, after all. Securing Chase’s loyalty that much further isn’t a bad move at all. The only hole I see is in not telling NaOnka. If Brenda keeps the truth from her for too long, Nay will eventually explode like the ticking time bomb that she is.
