'Survivor': Everybody loves Kim

Warning, major spoilers about “Survivor: One World” episode 13 ahead.

Man, Kim must be a really nice person. Everybody loves her. Which should make it easy for all the other contestants Sunday night when she wins a million bucks.

Let’s face it, she’s going to win. Nobody’s even given her much competition since horrid Colton left. She has an immunity idol in her bikini bottom, but chances are she’ll never need to play it.

How do these other women not see this? Or will there be some last-minute major blindside organized by Chelsea or Sabrina, Kim’s only credible rivals? If so, they’ll likely be too late.

How popular is Kim? Last night when Chelsea won the reward of going off to a yacht and partying, who did she choose to go along? She picked Sabrina, who hasn’t eaten since hitting the jungle, and Kim, who has probably gained weight while playing “Survivor,” having been taken along on so may rewards. You get the feeling that if someone else did win the big money they’d hand it over to Kim just because.

When it came time for immunity and the tribal council, things went precisely as expected: The girls voted off Last Man Standing Tarzan, who was caught outright lying about his plans early in the episode, trying to curry favor with whoever would take him to the final three. The thoroughly weird Tarzan might actually have been a threat come the final 3 with so many guys on the jury, so he had to go.

Now comes the finale, which could play out as the most boring in history. Christina doesn’t have a chance, the deluded Alicia doesn’t have a chance and Sabrina and Chelsea will probably feel Kim’s sting in succession as she teams with C & A to destroy the competition.

Solution to it all: Bring Boston Rob back for the final immunity challenge!
