If you've ever in your life had a
nightmare that took you back to your
childhood, then you may be able to empathize
with Wanda Shirk of Survivor 10 Palau.
She and Jonathan Libby were the
odd-persons-out in that great neighborhood
tradition of choosing up sides. When
we were all kids the last-one-picked either
played right field or hiked-and-blocked.
But on Survivor, cruelty of cruelties, the
last-ones-picked go home.
Despite the
brevity of her presense, Wanda sang her way
directly into Survivor lore with a series of
so-called original Survivor songs.
Without shame or embarrassment she hopped to
her feet at first chance and let loose with
her musical renditions. As it turned
out though, Wanda's efforts were entirely
counterproductive. While her
fellow castaways were at least partly
bemused, they were also only-too-ready to
paint a target on her back. And off
went Wanda, standing and singing a capella
as she sank into the South Pacific horizon.
