Survivor XII: The Search for Spock

During this week’s gratuitously physical immunity challenge, one of my Survivor office pool contestants, zen master yoga instructor Aras, unleashed an outstanding secret weapon - the Vulcan nerve pinch!

The competition was an all-out scrum in which two competing groups had to wrest a canvas bag of who knows what away from their opponents and race to their respective target zones. Pinned down amongst a mangled mess of limbs and muscle, the bag didn’t look like it was going anywhere.

Enter Aras.

Employing some super slick yoga upper leg pressure point pinch, my new favorite contestant effortlessly lifted the bag out from under his poor victim’s now liquefied leg and sprinted home to set his team up for the win. Mr. Spock himself could not have done it any better.

Maybe I was wrong about this guy. While he’s still a bit wacky, at least he’s wacky with lethal yoga ninja skills.
