In one of the oddest quirks of Survivor
casting history, Survivor 10 Palau's
Ibrehem Rahman hailed from Alabama along
with two fellow tribemates.
Nevertheless, that serendipity of kinship
proved to have been un-beneficial at best.
In the single worst stretch of immunity
performances ever seen in ten seasons,
Ibrehem and his tribe knew only defeat.
By and large it was painful to watch, like a traffic
accident every Thursday night in prime time.
Fans of Survivor who like to root for the
underdog were continually disappointed ~
heck more than once it would have been
exceedingly useful had Ibrehem known how to
swim, for crying out loud.
But that isn't to say he wasn't a likable fellow,
because he most assuredly was. His
days on the island consisted of meditation
and prayer, he did his share of the work,
and he carried his share of the load.
Perhaps what was missing from the Alabamans
on Palau was the ol' killer instinct.
Somehow though, we don't necessarily see
that as a bad thing.
