The most overused phrase in all of Survivor-land
may very well be 'flying under the
radar'. Everybody flies under the
radar ~~ Colleen Haskell did it in
Malaysia, Elisabeth Filarski in the
Outback, maybe one or two others to lesser
degrees. But if ever the term
'flying under the radar' properly
described a castaway it would have to be
Kim Johnson. For 37 days Kim blended
into the woodwork completely; in fact
thinking back, we didn't much realize she
was even there until about day 25.
She never came within a hundred miles of
winning a challenge ~~ that is of course
until the final two immunities rolled
around. To the shock of everyone Kim
J. nailed down not one, but *both*, and in
doing so assured herself of a second place
finish in Africa and the $100,000
runner-up prize.
Case in
point: here at SurvivorFoxes.com we
never took Kim J. the slightest bit
seriously, rather expecting her departure
at any time. Unlike Teresa Cooper
she didn't seem to be caught up in the
scheming, unlike Lex or Ethan she never
posed much of a physical presence and was
never seen as a threat. But threat
she was, and the result speaks for
itself. And *that* ladies &
gentlemen is what you call 'flying under
the radar'. Classic!
