KUDOS
Yes I must first say I was wrong. I thought Sandra wasn't a good player but must giver kudos to the first two time winner.
Day 36
We start out by seeing Parvati saying Sandra playing the idol that night to get rid of Rupert was a good move. NO kidding? Really? Einstein would be proud there Parv. It was the last night that hidden idols could be played so why was this so brilliant? (Hey I have picked on Parvati all season, why stop now) Russell continues his wave of destroying anything in his path by complaining that Sandra should have told him she had the idol. What difference would that have made? She didn't vote for you and no one else did so why bring it up? He then accuses Parvati of the same thing. Parvati then makes one of the best comments of the year, "I don't like being called a liar." How about arrogant, conceited or poser, would any of those be better?The same girl who gives the wiping her eyes motion whenever someone else gets voted out is mad because people don't like her and call her a liar. Yeah, that's a tough one to swallow Parv. Jerri thinks they need to get rid of Parvati, while Colby just likes it that no one is talking about him. Russell says if Cobly wins then Parvati needs to go home.
Stacking Dishes
Nothing like destroying precious dishes from the house of Robert Lewis Stevenson to make Survivor a top ten show. How about setting his house on fire next year. It comes down to Colby and Parvati and once again Parv comes through. Her comment is, "This win was huge for me." Really Miss Obvious? I promise to tone down the Parvati, maybe when next year starts. Fore shadowing starts when Russell says, "Maybe taking Colby to the final instead of Sandra would cost me the game."
I am thinking at this point Russell could have taken Osama Bin Laden and that guy from Helter Skelter to the final and still lost, that is how much people hate him. At tribal council each player says almost the same thing in that you can't believe anything anybody is saying even about saying you can't believe anything they are saying right now which leads me to this simple question. Should the vote really count because that might not be the person they really wanted to vote out? Just sayin'. Colby is sent packing.
RIGHT OF PASSAGE
I have stated this over and over. I hate this part of the game where you take the final three or four and have them say good things about the people they just lied to, manipulated and laughed at. So instead of writing about what the final four said, we do a quick review on what each person said about themselves.
Sugar - You need to play this game with your head instead of your heart. Most people
know this without having to say it.
Stephanie - My reputation hurt me. Yup, meeting up with people with your skill level
can suck as you dind't have a answer for this.
Randy - I lack the ability to communicate with people. Shut up Randy.
Cirie - I wasn't given a chance. You were given the same chance to compete with a
person of your exact skill level, her name was Sandra and she won. Go cry.
Tom - I was cast aside. Yes Tom you were. You played different this time and you ht
the nail on the head with your comments last night, it was a different game.
Tyson - My own stupidity. Yup, a lot of times it ain't others people's strategy but
your own decisions that cost you. Don't over think this game.
James - I tried to be more friendly. Up until the point you played the challenges.
You have James-itis meaning you are who you are.
Rob - I can still do it. Yes you can but you did it too much.
Coach - I am the person people love to hate and hate to love. Not much to add
although I hope to have a beer with you someday.
Courtney - Not duds this time around. With the exception of you.
J.T. - Gave my idol to a guy who voted me out. Yup, same as letting your best friend
take your girlfriend to the prom. What did you expect?
Amanda - I should have kept the clue. Yup, you are the girl who went to the prom with
your boyfriends best friend.
Candice - I have learned a few lessons here. And they are?
Danielle - I have a heart. You also have lungs, a brain, a stomach etc. Shall I
continue?
Rupert - I feel good about myself. I am really glad her put the words "good about"
into that sentence or it changes the entire meaning.
Colby - I am ten years older than I was last time I played. Uh Colby, we are all ten
years older now, what't your point?
BLINDFOLDED MAZE
I loved this the first time they did this challenge back with Jenna Morasco won. Bumping into poles and one another. You must have your wits about yourself and I am quite sure I would struggle with this one. By inches Jerri loses immunity. At tribal council Jerri is sent packing.
FINAL DAY at camp.
The players say the following about themselves before final council.
Sandra - I didn't have the idols to fall back on, except at the end. I play this game to make money for my family.
Russell - I took two weak players to the end last time and it didn't work out. (Funny, how would he able to say this when he didn't know at the time of the filming of this game who had won before?)
Parvati - I have played 114 days and am one of the best players ever. I would have to say one of the luckiest.
Sandra burns Russells hat and we go to council.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
Final words of the players.
Sandra - I tried to get rid of Russell three times. I got here by myself. (This made perfect sense right when she said it as she knows people hate Russell.)
Russell - This isn't a game of luck. If I did something that you didn't like I apologize. People look at me like I did something wrong.
Parvati - I didn't realize I was a threat. I kept Russell as my pet. I have played all three aspects of this game.
Sandra wins. I think she won more for not arguing with people and keeping her mouth shut. She proved once again that you can lack in one area but still be able to move on.
Russell lost because as he demonstrated at the reunion, he can't keep his mouth shut.
Parvati lost because she aligned with Russell.
Great season and please give me your feedback.

Blow Holes......(Ha ha he said blow hole)
Yes, we are at that point of the game where each and every little thing is critisized by everyone. Russell getting in everyone's face, Rupert doing his night time version of "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm okay," and Jerri pulling her hair back so tight she looks like a red headed Japanese Irish woman about to smack the bar tender because happy hour is over. Okay, okay, I made up that last part.....................
Prediction
Before last night's show I wrote down, "Sandra plays her idol and Rupert goes home." Yes I actually wrote that down folks, I am God.
Opening Sequence
Rupert says, "My chances of winning just got better." Ooooohhh, cringe, snap, the words of death on Survivor.
Parvati makes a very inciteful comment that she must get rid of Colby and Rupert as if they make it to the end they will win so she has to keep Russell around. In game play I hate this girl because she mocks people, she makes of them when they lose and overall if the brakes went out of my car, well I'll stop there.
Russell says he just got rid of Parvati's main companion and he is exactly right.
Treemail / OOPS the Sprint Treemail Spot
I just adore these little product placements throughout the show. I just thought of a great idea, how about the "Etch-A-Sketch Hidden Immunity Idol Moment." They could put a clue on an Etch-A-Sketch and when someone found it they could read it and just right down another bogus clue. HUH? Great idea isn't it? Yeah, you wish you had thought of it. Anyhow, it is the loved one's visit and we get to see people hugging, kissing and playing with each other's hair and that was just Colby and his brother.
Again I'm not being sarcastic about these product placements ads, love em'. So we go to the Pail Relay race which confused just a little bit. Um, did anyone else notice that each person's pail appeared to be a different size? Just sayin'. Jerri's bucket looked like it could hold about two gallons and Colby's looked like a small coffee can. That be like having a basketball challenge and you get LeBron James and I get frickin' Pee Wee Herman, that's fair. Anyhow Colby kept whining to brother to catch the water and his brother kept laughing in his face. Dude, I know you want to win but for the love of God, shut up. Jerri wins and take Parvati and Sandra on the Blow Hole Trip. Yes folks, I said Blow Hole and it was exactly that a place where people go to throw coconuts into a hole and watch the water shoot them high into the air. Remind of the time we made a Polish Cannon out of four aluminum cans and then shot tennis balls out of it, yeah, great times. Anyhow we find out that Sandra's uncle raised her after her mother died, (Hopefully this isn't another Johnny Fairplay moment) and she is very grateful for him. Jerri is fearful that Russell is mad because she didn't pick him to go and she is right. The point at this portion of the game is to keep your head about yourself as you are extremely tired and grouchy. Not this group, everyone is pissed about something. This bring me to my point of the week, everybody is talking about Russell but nobody does anything, until tiny little Sandra decides to trade blows with him. "Are you against me or for me?" Russell asks Sandra and she says, "Against you." We all know she did this because she knows she has the idol and also has the numbers. I hate to say it but she is the favorite to win now, even though I don't think she has done much other that stay out of harms way. Parvati then starts mocking Russell. Even I hate it when two people I don't care for mock one another.
Immunity
People then have to balance poles on the back of their wrists and it comes down to Parvati and Ruperts. I figure whomever loses this is out. Parvati wins. Tribal council is filled with a lot of issues to say the least, Sandra plays the idol and Rupert goes home. He plays the part of the poor guy when he says his final words. Sorry Rupert, liked you but you got outplayed, AGAIN.
So here we are at final five and here are my thoughts.
JERRI - She is more worried about pissing off Russell than winning the game. She has
no plan on how to win but might just fall into a win. She has the
weakest arguement to win against anybody. However she might convince
the jury with a great arguement if she can get to the final against
Russell and Parvati because they might cancel each other out.
COLBY - He is still pissed at his brother for not winning the reward challenge. He
has no end game strategy but nobody dislikes him so
no one wants him in the final.
RUSSELL - He plays very hard, runs over people like a bulldozer but pissed too many
people off. Everybody wants to go
against him in the final. The only
vote he might get is JT in the final.
PARVATI - She plays hard, listens, but again doesn't make friends very well. Colby
and Jerri would probably beat her if they take her to the final. As we found
out last time when Natalie beat Russell, people might vote more for
Parvati not to win, then Colby or Jerri to win.
SANDRA - She has many friends on the jury and more importantly hasn't really pissed
off anybody. Don't take her to the
finals with you at all costs.
Actually at looking at these people, I hate to
say it but a Russell, Parvati, Sandra
final would spark fireworks at the
final council.

Those who don't study history are bound to repeat it.
You usually see this type of car wreck during a stock car race. What the hell does Russell think he is accomplishing by simply running roughshod over everybody in his wake? More on this later.
Night 30 sees Jerri commenting that "they don't need Candice anymore." DAH. REALLY? YA THINK? NO. COME ON NOW. Candice made one of the dumbest moves last week by voting with the villains, no reason, no logic, no nothing. I can see why she did it though, it is hard to get quality air to you lungs when you have you head up your butt so far. Colby then jumps on and says, "Candice is weak." When players start saying this about you its time to pack up and don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. Russell makes a great comment, "Rupert you're such a dumbass get your tie dye ready, you're going next."
Immunity
Barefoot Perch complete with paint bath.
Jeff tempts people with food right from the start to get them to drop their arms and Sandra and Russell take the bait. For those viewing at home this should have sent a message that these two were so confident they weren't going home that a red flag should be flying especially since these two don't like another. Of course my six year old nephew Aidan said it was a good choice since they did get cookies and milk for dropping out. Colby is next when he opts for donuts and coffee. Candice and Danielle want to go after Rupert but soon drop out with Jerri to share sandwiches and chips. It is down to Rupert and Parvati and soon Ruperts big broken toe gives out leaving Parvati with immunity. Why in the world this late in the game would people pick comfort over winning? After the challenge the group then gets another clue for the hidden idol. Someplace where there is a fork in the road and the sun hits you eye like a big pizza pie. Sandra finds it and does something that no one has done for a long, long time, she doesn't tell anyone she found an idol. Let's take a moment and give Sandra a round of polite golf applause........................................................
Russell and Colby are conspiring to split the vote at tribal council and the scrambling starts in earnest. Rupert says Candice jumped to the villains too soon. Colby calls Candice out. Russell thinks her move was great, but then again Russell loves it when when those large balloons blow up during holiday parades and scare the crap out of kids. Candice is out by a 5-3 vote.
Hidden Idols and some Advice
I want to take a moment and add my two cents on the hidden immunity idol. First, why do people continue to run and tell everyone they found an idol. That tool is the most valuable tool you can have in this game, keep it a secret. Seconndly and more importantly why don't people who find the idol continue looking for it to throw people off. If I found the idol that everyone knows the clue to, I woould keep looking so they don't think I have it. Just a thought there to keep in mind should anyone ever get chosen.
Russell thinks it was stupid that the group voted out Candice but then again he thinks everything is stupid that he didn't think of like, ipods, texting, wave runners and of course silly putty and etch-a-sketches. The next challenge was a peg puzzle, followed by a peg climb and then to a slide puzzle. The only thing I knew for sure when I saw this challenge was Sandra wasn't going to win. She might get through the peg puzzle but she ain't getting up that peg wall which she didn't. Russell wins this immunity and his wave of destruction continues. Russell talks to Danielle and she says she trusts him. He then goes to Parvati and tells her that Danielle wants her gone. He drives a wedge between the last two strong villains allies which in retrospect seems like a good idea, but not so much when the goal is winning the million. Once again he wins the battle but is losing the war. During the council session Danielle breaksdown with all of Russell's accusations. Haven't we seen this over and over and over. When will people start paying attention. Danielle goes home by a 4-3 vote vs Rupert. Rupert survived six votes in two councils.
Wow, six are left and who is next.
