Sorry about the delay and I can give hundreds of excuses, but simply put I didn't take the time to write this. Sort of like when your kid was assigned to build a volcano for a science fair three months ago and they tell you about it two days before its due. Let's use that for this weeks input or reply and the topic will be: "One time I was in school or my child was in school and had this project that involved....................
Anything that involved power tools and/or chemicals will get extra credit. Yes folks this is the assignment and I want postings from everyone.
So onto to last night, actually four nights ago. In my humble opinion Rob has played the best so far and I know I will get cards and letters for saying that, but so what. Colby thanks J.T. for helping them get Cirie out instead of Tom. Rupert is now pissed at J.T. and we find out later that Colby really doesn't trust J.T. either. We then see J.T. swearing to Amanda he didn't do it to save Tom or Colby. Yeah and Tiger Woods didn't cheat on his wife because he thought he could away with it. Going off the beaten path here, I wonder how long Tiger Woods would last on Survivor if they had a couple's show where his wife appeared along side him. I bet you bottom dollar they wouldn't have any challenges involving golf clubs. Okay, that's the last swing at Tiger Woods for the entire year, I promise. Getting back to J.T. I think that boys days are numbered as Rupert, Colby and Amanda don't trust him. Although unless the heroes start winning challenges it won't mean a thing.
Coach has the entire villains tribe doing Chi while Russell does what Russell always does and that is looking for the idol. We then move onto the same challenge they did last season playing basketball in a pit with the winner getting chocolate. The highlights were limited to a big time wrestling move by Rupert slamming Jerri's face into a post (I am wondering if her face imprint is on the post ala the shroud which contains the face of Jesus) J.T. slamming Coach to the ground and James hurting his knee and the villains winning again. OH YEAH, what's up with Jeffy again? Jeff asks Colby, "What's going on," and Colby replies, "Let's play," which Jeff responds "We'll play when I say you play," or something that a fifth grade gym teacher would say to the class just before he picks sides for dodge ball. WOW, Jeff taking charge, yeah dude join the game tough guy. It's easy to say that stuff when you are a pedestrian. (Going after the host is new for me)
After the chocolate party Russell tells Parvati he has found the idol and will help her. You just told one of the most untrustworthy players in the history of Survivor that you will help her. This is the same girl that made a living out of blindsiding guys in the past and you want to partner up with her? What a dink, yes I said dink. Russell then goes to Coach and tells him also. Coach replies just like the girl who gets asked to the prom by the guy who made fun of her all year. Coach says, "You give me your trust that says a lot." Yeah it says Coach should wear the shirt that says "STUPID" on the front and Russell should wear the shirt that says "I'm with Stupid," with the arrow pointing to Coach. We then see Amanda crying because James might not return because of his injury and Candance saying we need to get rid of dead weight meaning James.
The immunity challenge involves everyone being blindfolded except the caller who directs their teammates to find puzzle pieces in an open area. The two highlights of this involved Rob who in one scene walks groin high into a puzzle piece and in the next clip we see him holding one hands over the family jewels. That made me laugh because it wasn't me. The villains win again as the heroes once again can't seem to put a simple puzzle together. The names up for vote are James, Tom and Candance. James would be the obvious because of his injury but...............After thinking about Tom getting voted off it made more sense in the long run. First, he has won before and you all know my stance on putting former winners against non winners. Secondly, in the long run if you are able to make it to the merge with James, he is hurt which makes it less likely he can win challenges and he either likes people or doesn't which makes him less likely to draw jury votes in the end. Candance was the third person being talked about for votes and she has to learn to curb her comments about other people such as "That would be stupid." Anybody got a second STUPID t-shirt handy.
Next week we see Rob and Russell going nose to nose for the first time. I hate to say this but I hope Rob beats his ass.

Has anyone seen my Sears Craftsman immunity idol..................
It finally came to pass on Survivor last night sports fans, another of my predictions coming true, the mother ship of shameless sponsorship has invaded Survivorville. More on this later. Now onto this week's rant sponsored by Webster's Dictionary the choice of millions of school children nationwide who "Don't no how to spel N-EE more b-cause we tex 2 much. O no u dit int."
On 2 the rant / Sent from my Blackberry phone.
We see a snippet of last week's tribal council where Sandra calls coach out for being lazy. Coach then goes back to camp, turns in his dignity and starts to cry just like I did when I found out the Brady Bunch kids were lip syncing their songs back in the 70's. Tyson then approaches Coach and tells him to stop telling all these stories about things that he has done so people quit making fun of him. That would mean a lot more had the guy coming up and saying this to me, not be the guy who always makes fun of people for their short comings. Tyson then tells everyone as camp that Coach had a rough night. Hey Tyson, you remind me of the guy who comforts the little kid at camp who just peed his bed and then you go back to the camp fire and tells everyone that.............the little kid just peed the bed. Rob gives Coach a bro-hug and tells him to suck it up and be a man. These kind words restore Coach's well being and he once again becomes the "Slogan Dragger," when he announces that he is one of the last of the Mohicans. I actually think he is just one of many Americans who ride a Grey Hound bus around the country to avoid being on other reality shows like COPS or Dog the Bounty Hunter. I think it these people who really keep that bus line in business.
The Sears Catalog slip and slide, baby oil, boccie ball championship.
When I saw the guys rubbing baby oil on themselves and the girls stripping down to bikinis my first thought was, Frederick's of Hollywood has met Survivor. Folks, this is not your mother's version of Olympic Curling. Survivor went to the dark side by just a few degrees last night. Anyhow the villains won and got their belt sander, leaf blower and what ever other tools they needed to build a solid camp.
The hidden idols.
While the villains are checking out their new tools Russell finds a clue inside a knife blade cover. I thought this was pretty clever placement of the clue. Then what happens next really confuses me. The VILLAINS as a group decide the idol should just be thrown away. I guess there is honor among thieves, well at least eight of the nine thieves. Russell makes an excuse to take a walk and starts looking for the idol and Rob sends Sandra to spy on him. In that ten second span you see the makeup of the group. Russell is sneaky, Sandra is a follower and Rob is in charge. Anybody in that camp who saw that exchange should be taking notes. Over at heroes camp the clue is found in the coffee. For future players, you need to take the Russell approach and look through everything "New" that appears at camp as it might contain a clue. Tom finds the idol and attempts to hide it but Amanda sees he has it. More on this later. The distinct differences in the two camps is obvious, the heroes were all looking for the idol while only Russell was looking for the villains. Sandra exclaims, "If you find the idol we will vote you out so you have to use it as we will disown you." That's more like villain talk I thought we would hear.
The immunity challenge involved rolling a large ball and doing a ball puzzle maze which is the challenge that good Russell almost died doing last season. Rob leads his team to a very close victory. Back at camp Cirie tells Candance that she wants Tom or Colby gone which doesn't make much sense because they are strong players and you need them in challenges. The problem was almost everyone heard this. She also uses the line, "Tom has won once already." (Told you so last week that someone would use this line and it will come up again.) They sat Cirie out of this challenge because of her lack of physical prowess, sorry Cirie those are the facts girl. J.T. tells Amanda he doesn't trust Candance which I find funny because he flipped his vote before. Tom uses the best line of the night, "Tomorrow we apologize but tonight we make our move." At tribal council Tom admits Stephenie was on the short side of numbers. J.T. doesn't want to vote out the strong people (Sorry Cirie), and Rupert says it is more important to be loyal which brings Jeff out of his shorts. Jeff replies with, "That is contrary to outwit, outplay and outlast." Dude calm down you ain't playing for the million here. Tom plays his idol and the vote is Tom 3, Cirie 3 and Colby 2 so Cirie is gone.
Next week we see that Candance might switch her alliance, Russell is looking for the idol and Rob will use the Sears/Scott Lawn's fertilizer the villains won at the challenge to de-grub the campsite.
Until next week, this is Uncle Andy.
