Alas, there will be no fist bumps for Jeff Kent in Survivor.

Whoa! Malcolm is rolling his eyes, wondering what just happened. Jeff Kent, the tribe has spoken. Probst declares that “that vote may go down as one of the biggest blown opportunities in the game." I can’t tell if he’s talking about getting rid of Malcolm, or about Jeff Kent not getting things tight.

Next week on Survivor, Lisa is “bullied by her alliance” and turns to Jonathan and could flip everything upside-down.

The votes are played, and we see that Malcolm, Denise, Jeff Kent and Carter voted for Pete, while Pete, Abi, Artis, Lisa and Michael (!!) all voted for Jeff Kent. I seriously think Michael may be suffering from Stockholm syndrome. The holdout? Jonathan, who voted for Abi. No explanation for his vote, but I’m guessing he knew which way Michael’s vote would go and maybe he saw an opportunity to get rid of the guy who has been wanting him out since the game started.

In his post-boot interview, Jeff Kent is still wearing his “professional sportsman” cap as he finally reveals the Jeff Kent I had been warned to expect this season. He complains that he made $60 million in baseball, but he’s really pissed off by this loss of a million, “And it’s not even a million bucks, it’s like $600,000 by the time Obama takes it.” By that logic, Bush took $24 million of Jeff Kent’s hard-earned money. And Bush probably lives just down the road from Jeff Kent’s ranch, so it’d be a lot more convenient to go to his ranch and complain about that.

Jeff Kent goes on to explain that while he is a Game Seven World Series loser, “this just sucks.” Don't take it too hard.
