Yau's DA man

If you haven't caught a single episode of the latest season of Survivor, you are definitely missing out on one of the most intelligent and intense season.

This season, to me, has the best player in the history of Survivor - Yau-Man. He's not the tallest, biggest, youngest or strongest contestant. He's not a back-stabber or an unethical louse. He is, however, very smart, has a keen intuition, plays fair and is a loyal friend.

Look what he did! Offering the truck he won during the reward challenge to Dreamz. I thought he was mad to do that, I mean, Dreamz doesn't look like someone who could be trusted. But in exchange, he wanted Dreamz to give his immunity idol to Yau if he ever won it during the final 4. Yau could obviously sense that Dreamz wanted the car badly, and it was pure strategy (and possibly a big heart) that he made that offer. Or maybe the truck is useless to him, since he's already got like 4 sportscars at home (hee!). He's a macro man, looking at the big picture instead of the small win. If he wins that 1 million dollars, by golly, he could get 10 of those trucks plus a bigger garage to house all 14 vehicles! Better to wait for the big kill, I say.

And what's even more shocking was when he sent himself to Exile island. I could never understand the purpose of Exile Island, but I've gathered that Exile Island serves as a punishment for the not-so-popular people. In a revolutionary turn of events, Mr Yau decided to mete the punishment on himself! Totally unexpected but so darn smart, coz it gave him a chance to find the hidden immunity idol. Isn't that even better than winning the immunity challenge?

With this last piece of clue, Yau assisted his ally Earl to locate the hidden immunity idol. Great work guys! And I was so impressed that Yau didn't try to find the idol himself. Afterall, he had as much right to the idol as Earl had, didn't he? And with 2 immunity idols, he is definitely guaranteed a spot in the final 4! But he displayed true loyalty to Earl and I was touched by their friendship and alliance.

During tribal council, bimbotic Stacy could not stop shooting her mouth off. She stupidly commented that the votes were going to be split, which is such a DUMB-ASS thing to say. So that threw the sharp Yau off, coz he had initially assumed that everyone was going to vote Stacy off. Picking up the bad vibes with a sniff, he decided to utilise his hidden immunity idol. What a great sense of intuition, if you ask me. If he hadn't used that idol, he would have been a goner.

CLAP CLAP CLAP! Kudos to the greatest player of all times.

P/S: The guy was from Malaysia, you know. *pride*
