Routing for the underdog


I have noticed that I tend to stand for the underdogs in life and on a reality show too. There's a guy on survivor" ''Russell""that I have been wanting to be voted off since the first show. He came on too strong, calling the women on his tribe stupid, and such. But last night he found the immunity idol, without any hints. He knew that, for the one that hid it, to be able give a hint about it, that it had to be somewhere, where there was some kind of land mark. He looked and sure enough it was under a small bridge. The two tribes had merged week before last, and the larger of the two tribes planned to rid themselves of the people on the smaller tribe this week, after voting one of their own off last week. They all decided that Russell was to be the first to go. And sure enough they all voted for Russell to be the one to leave the show, not knowing that he had already found his "second" immunity idol, with no hints.
One by one they all went up and wrote Russell's name down. As they did Russell just sit with a grin on his face, knowing that they were all voting for him. The the spokesman of the show said( if anyone has an immunity Idol and wishes to use it, now is the time. Jaws dropped as Russell stood up and handed the idol to the spokesperson. All votes for Russell were then null and void. Greatly numbered against the once larger tribe members. Russell's side had just three to vote for a person on the other side. All votes being cast for one of the ladies ""Kelly""on the other side.

Now I don't know what changed me to want Russell to survive, Only that at that moment he was the underdog. It's just so sad to see one person that everyone else is trying to hurt. I guess it's because sometimes I feel like that. That everyone is against me, I really believe that one time in our lives we all feel that way. Like we are all alone and everyone else is against us. But there is one that is always there, isn't there. Jesus is always there for each of us.

until next time God Bless.
