<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">#29 - Isis Really Sucks (Mikey's Disappointing Saga) (Egypt)

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">So when I was conceiving the countdown, one entry I knew was definitely coming was one centered on Uspekh. That tribe was so dominant, so successful, and full of such strong players that it necessitated a write-up to fully convey how impacting and successful they were. And having an entry like this, I began to think, "What tribe could I write an entry about that would be the anti-Uspekh? What tribe just basically sucked so much that it was funny?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Isis. Oh yes. Isis.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">There have been other arguably "terrible" tribes. There was Pobeda, which couldn't get its shit together for anything - but Pobeda ended up outlasting Slava, so they've got that going for them. There was Alaotra, which... well... yeah. But Alaotra was more controversial than pathetic, and that wasn't the angle I was looking for. Savanes already got their own entry, but Savanes has more of a redemptive-style story arc. What we're looking for is a storyline that is just utterly pathetic and makes you feel really bad for the people involved. Or at least a little guilty for laughing at them as much as you do. And none of these tribes really fit the bill.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">No, when it comes to pathetic tribes, there was only one that made sense. And that one is Isis.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">And who so happened to be on this pathetic tribe? Mikey. Mikey played not just in Egypt but in Salvation - and, as fate would so happen, Mikey ended up on another pathetic tribe. A tribe that despite its valiant efforts could not get its shit together for shit.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Because of this irony, because of the overall depressing nature of Mikey's two-season arc riddled with anguish and despair, this entry comes with a little bonus. In this entry, we also get a character entry of Mikey because when someone loses basically everything every time they come out to play, it's too easy to make fun of them and so it has to be done.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">(Aside: Mikey's a nice guy but he also sucks)

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">So let's get to it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Survivor: Egypt opens up with two tribes of ten. On one of those tribes, we have a woman in her fifties, someone who wants to be called "Cowboy", and a sockpuppet. And this ragtag group ends up being the one to kick ass. Go them.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Then we have Isis, which on paper, doesn't look like a shit tribe... but it is.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">We've got a mix of good players on the tribe including Tyler, Joshie, Johan-Amir, Jack, and Mikey. But that's only half of the tribe, and well, the other half ended up being a little bit underwhelming.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Isis ends up losing the first challenge, and that's fine. Somebody has to lose the first challenge. They unanimously oust Raphael to make themselves a better tribe. And did Isis end up making itself a better tribe?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">After this unanimous vote, Jack gets to go the Pyramid and he ends up finding the Hidden Immunity Idol. Remember this. Pay attention to this. This is important.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Now going into the second challenge, we get this quote wonderful quote:

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">                  "We're getting our ass handed to us on a silver platter." - Johan-Amir

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Yes, Johan-Amir, yes you are. Plagued by inactivity, Isis loses yet again. But whatever. Some tribes take some time to build momentum. It happens. Don't worry Isis, you're a star. You rock.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">The vote comes down between two inactives, and it's Austin getting the boot over some dude named Pedro.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Want to know what's really funny about this Tribal Council? We get our first self-vote of the season. This self-vote comes to us from none other than Mikey. We're not really talking about Mikey as an individual yet, but this is where I personally consider his disappointing saga to formally begin.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Isis then goes on to lose yet again. Nobo is taken out of the game while Pedro continues voting randomly and for whoever he feels like in the moment. Three losses in a row is bad, but Isis, you guys can come back from this. It's just a 10-7 deficit. You can rebound. You got this.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">And then the fourth loss in a row comes and Isis you guys are just total shit.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Isis wins their very first challenge of the season - the first reward challenge - so they should be totally solid going into immunity. Except they're not. They fuck up their advantage and just get wrecked once again.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">At Tribal Council, the vote comes down between our favorite inactive, Pedro, and Johan-Amir. People are worried about Johan-Amir and how much power he wields, so he is a goner. Four out of the seven people on the tribe want him out, and sorry Johan-Amir, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Except Pedro self-votes himself out of the game, because Isis sucks.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Isis is now left divided and with a 10-6 numbers disadvantage in the game, yet to win a single immunity challenge. It's pretty hella.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">A mutiny comes next and guess what? Isis continues to suck.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Especially after almost getting taken out last time, Johan-Amir mutinies to Anubis, now putting Isis at an 11-5 disadvantage. Anubis has more than double Isis' members, Isis sucks at challenges, and they are 100% completely screwed. Nothing can save them. Maybe, just maybe, they can win immunity though. Maybe they can finally pull it off...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Except they can't. It's a Double Tribal Council, and while Anubis finally loses a member, Isis does as well, and in a vote befitting of Isis, Chicken self-votes on his way out. Nice. Isis totally rules.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">And then, incredibly, Isis loses again. Joshie gets voted out, Isis is down 10-3 against Anubis, and at this point it's just sad. They've lost every single immunity challenge. They just really suck. They can't get it together at all, and it's really sad, but at the same time it's also kind of funny that they just suck this much.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">They can't win. They've been riddled with inactivity. They fight among themselves. One of their own mutinied to the sugar daddy of tribes. They are bordering on pathetic right now and well... that's accurate.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">BUT THEN A MIRACLE HAPPENS AND ISIS ACTUALLY WINS AN IMMUNITY CHALLENGE. HALLELUJAH. THE UNTHINKABLE HAS HAPPENED. ISIS WINS IMMUNITY. THE TRIBES ARE NOW 9-3. MAYBE MOMENTUM HAS SHIFTED. MAYBE ISIS CAN REBOUND AND EVEN THINGS UP.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Well, whatever momentum Isis had been building up drops dead because the merge comes next. Original Isis members are at four - the Isis Three + Mutineer Johan-Amir - against Anubis' eight. Sucks to be Isis right now... just as it has the entire game.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Isis should be going home, getting straight Pagonged, and the Anubis alliance attempts this, starting with Johan-Amir. But benevolent souls Aaron and "Lance" come to the defense of Isis and they blindside one of Anubis' own.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">This is actually the first time something good has happened to Isis the entire game. That immunity challenge wasn't so much good fortune as it was a miracle; it didn't change anything. It just felt good in the moment. But two members of Anubis flipping to Isis, now making a six-person majority? That's amazing. Isis' fortune actually looks like it's improving. The members of Isis might end up with one of those Final Tribal Council seats after all.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">(lol)

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">The Pancake Crew and the Isis Four stick together and oust Bailey. (god dammit Bailey) Rosetta has done amazing things for Isis; the four members remaining now only face six members of Anubis, and three of those members have been voting with them. This is good. Isis rules. Redemption and all that bullshit.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">And even when The Pancake Crew flips back to Anubis? Jack's Hidden Immunity Idol - I told you not to forget about it - saves not only his ass but Isis' ass as a whole. The old lady KJ goes home and with Aaron having voted with them in this round, it looks like they've got a 5-4 majority. Does Isis have this in the bag? Do they? Do they?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Johan-Amir finds the Idol, which is great, because the five members of Anubis are all together again and they have finally decided to exterminate Isis once and for all. It was actually genius of The Pancake Crew in orchestrating this good fortune for Isis so far - use the underdogs to whittle down your own majority, and then flip back to said majority before the underdogs can take control of the game. It was really smart and almost ended up giving the win to Ali (except it didn't).

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Johan-Amir can save his tribe. All he has to do is play the Idol and BOOM the numbers are tied. And honestly, you should've played the Idol at this point. This is the last vote before you can start to get confident. If you can get all the members of Isis to tie the game, it's four Isis, four Anubis, and they can't beat you with numbers. It wouldn't be easy to do so but Isis could win the whole game.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">But no. Isis sucks. Johan-Amir doesn't play the Idol, he gets sent home with it, and the rest of Isis follows - Jack, then Tyler, then Mikey, our star. Anubis now is in the majority because Isis sucks. #ripIsis #ripJessy2k14

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">The best part about Isis sucking so much? The episode title for Johan-Amir's blindside is "Silly Boy". That's fitting because not only is he silly for not playing the Idol, all of Isis is silly because they couldn't get their shit together at all for the entire game. Oh Isis.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">tl;dr: Isis sucks. So bad. They were plagued by fighting and inactivity, a guy named Pedro, lost four members consecutively, had someone mutiny, lost two more members, and won their first immunity challenge when it was too late. Merging with abysmal 8-4 numbers, some members of Anubis were willing to play ball with them...... but only to take out their own threats in Anubis and then turn on Isis at the last second before they could take control. And Isis could've taken control.... but they didn't, because Johan-Amir didn't play the Idol, because Isis really sucks. Like really. They suck.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">And now we get a special treat....

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">CHARACTER ENTRY: MIKEY

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Mikey, or PeaceOut12, as his mother calls him, started out on Isis. His story really begins when he self-votes at his second Tribal Council, setting the tone for a depressing and disappointing storyline in Egypt.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">                                       "Egypt was nice, I would never know since I spent most of my time under Tribal Council" - Mikey

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Despite voting with the majority most of the time, Mikey continued to lose, and lose, and lose, and lose again. The merge happens and Mikey is now on Rosetta but his storyline still remains the same: he's doing an ok job, but he's still just sucking. And when The Pancake Crew crawls back to Isis, he's got nothing at all. He fails to vote out Aaron and Johan-Amir leaves, he fails to vote out Ali and Jack leaves, Tyler votes against him to force a tie, The Pancake Crew tries to save him but Tyler leaves, and then Mikey could be saved by The Pancake Crew, except Mihai's Hidden Immunity Idol and Aaron's self-vote leave him out in the cold once again. Mikey's disappointing saga in Egypt starts with his own self-vote and ends with Aaron's - befitting and karmic. The universe is saying, "Mikey, honestly brah, you just sucked so hard that the only way for your storyline to end is for you to do just fine and someone else to suck instead. It's not your fault... but you still fail. Lol."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">The best part about Mikey's whole Egypt experience is that he couldn't even get disqualified right. Mikey self-voted twice and was temporarily disqualified from the game, but because the self-votes weren't back-to-back, he was allowed back in. Mikey was out, but they reeled him back in so he could suffer some more. Sometimes it just sucks to be Mikey.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">But the disappointing saga goes beyond Egypt and follows him to Salvation as well.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">First of all, Mikey's mangatar has him wearing a sweatshirt the same color as Isis was. Mikey is gambling with fate, tempting the ORG gods to smite him for this, to curse him, to make him pay. But Mikey wins Individual Immunity at the first challenge, so he's safe. Maybe he's not cursed. Maybe he can actually... not suck.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Mikey gets placed onto the Esjan tribe... which is almost the exact same color as Isis was. And believe it or not, Esjan sucks and is one of the three bottom-placing tribes at the first tribal challenge. Mikey once again is voting with the majority on a yellow tribe... but that tribe is still sucking.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">Fortunately, Esjan is dissolved, and Mikey is moved onto Askja. He's away from everyone formerly associated with Esjan and maybe now he can have his fresh start. Except he can't and Askja ends up sucking ridiculously bad. As a whole, they weren't shit at challenges - their opposing tribe was just way better, and so Askja sucked as a result. Askja only wins one immunity challenge (SOUND FAMILIAR??????) and Mikey always votes with the majority (SOUND FAMILIAR???????????????) except for one Tribal Council where he does not send in a vote (WHAT THE FUCK MIKEY IS FUCKING CURSED). The tribes then switch, and Mikey is now on the winning tribe... except he's fucking Mikey, and he curses the tribe. Now, Mikey only wins one immunity challenge and participates in a Double Tribal Council. So in total, if you're counting, Mikey lost seven tribal immunity challenges and only won three. Mikey is cursed, but he won more tribal challenges here than total challenges in Egypt.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">And then the merge happens and it's worse than Egypt, because he only has two other Askjas instead of three other Isises. Mikey is not good at Photoshop, Mikey loses the Individual Immunity challenge, and Mikey gets voted out... becoming the last member voted out of the yellowish tribe. Which is not a coincidence, because Mikey dared the ORG gods to smite him and indeed they did, cursing him for the entire duration of the game.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">tl;dr: Mikey is a nice guy but sucks and is cursed. Fucking Mikey.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">P.S. - I love Mikey after playing with him, but he's cursed and there's a reason we were never allies. That reason is that he's cursed. And that he sucks.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">P.P.S. - You may argue that other tribes suck more than Isis, but from a purely narrative standpoint, Isis sucks the most from this particular angle.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">P.P.P.S. - Mikey is actually the second most successful Egypt returnee, only behind Lloyd. Mikey feels really proud to be second to Lloyd.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">P.P.P.P.S. - A bonus testimonial: "I don't think words can actually describe the trainwreck that became known as Isis." - Mikey

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;font-size:14.4444446563721px;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,lucidagrande,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:21.466667175293px;">P.P.P.P.P.S. - There's only one other Egypt moment on the countdown. Also, as a hint for the next entry, it comes from the end of an old-school season. Make of that what you will. <ac_metadata title="#29 - Isis Really Sucks (Mikey&#039;s Disappointing Saga)"> </ac_metadata>
