SFist Watches: Your Locals On Reality TV

Previously on "Survivor: Fiji," local hero Yau-Man discovered the Hidden Immunity Idol, but thanks to a win by Moto during the Immunity Challenge, was able to hold on the the Hii for another week.
Ravu. Lisi blew it by letting on where the Hii was hidden, so her tribemates dug it up while she was sleeping. Doh! On Moto, some local Fijians showed up to teach them some traditional dancing in preparation for a tribal dance off. Yau-Man confessed he had no rhythm, and must of proved it, as he sat out at the Reward Challenge/Dance-Off itself, which was assessed by the judges of "Fijian Idol." We're totally kidding...we think. We're not sure who the judges were, but they were Fijian, and they deemed Ravu's performance out of rhythm and uncoordinated, as well as "pitchy" and "just a'ight." Moto totally won the Fijian feast and voted to send Lisi back to Snakes On an Island.
Immunity Challenge! Blow darts, spears, and bows and arrows. Basic target stuff. Blow dart round went to Moto; Yau-Man set the mark to beat in the spear throwing, leading to their win in that round, AND did the same in the bow-and-arrow round. Moto won immunity! Yau-Man is a rockstar! On the losing side, Ravu voted out Lisi, who, despite some last minute flip-flopping, wanted to go home anyway.

Now for "The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman." Two local gals were amongst the first 25 chicks hoping to get a rose. First up was Bevin (Bevin??), a "clinical research coordinator" from Palo Alto. Upon first meeting Andy the Bachelor, she asked him why he wasn't wearing his uniform. Obviously, the woman has a fetish. The second local gal was Tessa, a social worker from San Francisco. She must of have taken Public Speaking 101 at some point, and took the whole "start with a joke" advice to heart as she decided to tell the Bachelor a joke before telling him anything about herself. It was a painful story about two muffins that we just can't repeat, and can only hope she got it out of her system and won't tell any more. She did, however, later tell the Bachelor a story about how her mother met her second husband by chance while hiking the Inca Trail in Peru. This attempt to make an impression on the man wasn't nearly as embarrassing as some of the other girls' stunts, which included baking him a birthday cake (substituting tequila for eggs); serenading him with the National Anthem; challenging him to a push-ups contest; doing a back-flip; and "worming" across the living room floor. In the end, the Bachelor did give our two local girls roses, while voting off a woman we can only refer to as Crazy Eyes, as well as Cami from "Laguna Beach," (who did NOT take the rejection well, ultimately condemning the Bachelor's height, big head, and phony-looking teeth).
It may not be a VH-1 level of craziness, but it's just enough to keep us around for a few more episodes, at least through the obligatory Bachelorette Boot Camp, when that one rose-less girl will break down screaming, "I GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO!"


"must of"?
"Must of" been absent that day in English class...
