Steve's Log Rolling League
Redemption Island - episode 11
Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of Redemption Island entries on the
Funny 115.
There are many reasons for this, but the main one is, well... because...
Yeah. That.
But I will say that there is one
character in Redemption Island who is really underrated, and who nearly
always makes me laugh every time he opens his mouth. And if
you
have gotten this far on the countdown, you can probably guess
who
he is.
No, it's not Phillip.
Here's
a hint: Aside from Cochran, he is probably the
single best
Survivor player who ever once played tackle for the Oakland Raiders.
Yes, I can only be talking about the King of the Deadpan himself,
Mister Steve Wright.
Here Steve explains his extreme love for ice cream
Steve
doesn't open his mouth much during Redemption Island, but whenever he
does, there is about a 50% chance
that something deadpan
and hilarious is going to come out of it. And the
best
example of that is in this entry, which is my all-time favorite little
Steve Wright quote. It is also one of the rare times that
Jeff
Probst is actually caught off guard and laughs because of something
somebody says during a challenge.
Jeff doesn't get caught off guard by the players all that
often, so you have to appreciate it when it happens
Okay,
so here we go. This will just be a quick little entry.
But
that's okay because it's just a short little quip.
Steve isn't known for exactly elaborating all that much
It's episode eleven of Survivor: Redemption
Island, and today the players will be competing in an immunity
challenge.
"Today you guys will be competing in a log rolling contest."
The goal of this challenge is to stand on a rolling log in
the water
And try to knock your opponent off, using only your
feet
Hmmmm
Last person standing wins immunity
Jeff goes on to say that the winner will also receive a pitcher of ice
cold milk, and a big chocolate cake.
The reward
The Ometepes love the reward
Steve is positively giddy about winning this as well
And with that, the challenge begins.
"First matchup! Grant against Boston Rob!"
"If Rob doesn't win the first time, we'll give him four
tries."
But alas. Grant wins the challenge, and he sends
the franchise golden boy down into the water.
BOSTON ROB!!
NO!!!!!!
Then Ashley gets up, and she defeats Andrea
One of the girls beat one of the girls. Whatever.
And then comes the Steve part.
Round three will feature Steve, the eldest member of Zapatera
Against a trained circus bear in a sweater
Steve walks up to take his position.
And, as you do, Probst decides he would like to
make a little small talk.
Let me ask Steve an inane question
And behold. The magnificence of Deadpan Steve.
The guy is so quick. He doesn't even miss a beat.
"Hey Steve, you ever done anything like this?"
"Yeah I'm in a league."
"A league every Saturday."
Like
I said, this is one of those rare little moments where a contestant
completely catches Probst off guard. And Probst has
to stop
and laugh.
That's
it. That's the whole entry. I just thought it was a
cute
little moment that will help you appreciate Redemption Island (and
Steve) a little better.
Oh, and then Steve loses in log rolling to the trained
circus bear
Fail
whomp whomp
Until the next Steve entry, friends, stay woke
