Regifting an idol.

One of the best episodes ever.
Here is your brain on Survivor, here is your brain while playing Survivor and finding the hidden immunity idol. I think there is a direct correlation between finding the hidden immunity idol and being stupid. Correct me if I'm wrong here and please forward your cards and letters as well, but isn't one of the main points of finding the hidden immunity idol to help the person finding the idol win the game? There must be some directions written on the bottom that we don't see that state, you must do something stupid with this idol. Last week we see J.T. find the idol and then draft his letter of secrecy to Russell to use it if needed. Then at one point of this weeks show we see J.T. saying people are probably going to vote him off. You know what would come in handy in a situation like this J.T.? I may be way off base here but having an immunity idol might save your but you *&^%$ bag. For a former winner you sure are a dumbass. Anyhow.............................
We start this week with re-run of Russell saying "I am in control of this game." Yes we know you are Russell, we know you are.............................................
Heroes Camp.
The heroes find a trunk that is locked a note that says don't open yet or something to that effect. I am going out on a limb here but I am thinking there is something of value inside. Just a guess.
Villains
The villains treemail has a key included and a map to the heroes camp. One of the villains asks, "I wonder what the keys goes to?" Just a guess here and going further out on my limb but I am guessing the key is to a lock. Just sayin'.
The villains start weaving a web of lies when they realize Parvati is still in the game (Yes she is I saw her last night) and they need a lie to tell the heroes. When the tribes merge Russell tells JT and Rupert that the idols were played and Courtney was blindsided. The one problem with telling a lie like this is say, oh someone like Sandra comes along and tells a different story. Rupert is on to this game and tells everyone within ear shot to not trust Russell. Parvati then makes two comments the first being Russell and I are the King and Queen of this game. By the way she didn't clarify who was who, just sayin' again. Then the quote of the week, Parvati cries that she is offended that the heroes are treating her this way with no respect. When the commercial came on I hit rewind on my Tivo and then realized once again that I don't have a frickin' Tivo so I couldn't replay it, but that is what she said I am sure. Um Parv dear, it could be that you don't play well with others and more importantly you laugh when people are voted out. Just sayin'. Amanda then pipes in that her side doesn't want to lose their lead. Um, Amanda there are five people left on both sides, just reminding you.
So the challenge was a Courtney special, oops she left last week didn't she. She would have been a shoe in for this because it involved doing what Courtney does best which is nothing. Climb a pole and hold on. Before the challenge started I said the last three would be girls simply because their feet are smaller and could hold onto the pole longer. Danielle won with Parvati stepping off for second and Candance being third. Parvati made her first mistake of the night as people figured out pretty quickly she has an idol because she gave up. Anyhow Amanda attempted to make a bold move by telling Parvati that the heroes were voting for her. Amanda is a bad liar and should have moved on quickly but kept talking. But.......................
The heroes decide to go after Jerri and the villains go after JT. As the vote unfolded we see the villains won the battle, when Jerri was saved by the re-gifted idol, but on the other hand they just lost the war. Parvati does what most people are doing these days on Survivor and that being giving away her two idols to Jerri and Sandra. Oh yeah one of these idols was given to her from Russell which apparently didn't fit and instead of returning it to the Survivor store for food or shelter she gave it away right in front of Russell. In the ten seconds it took Parvati to give away the most valuable things you can hold onto in this game, she did several things that will add to her and her tribes demise.
1. ) It exposed Russell as a liar. Thanks Parvati, he gave you two idols to save your
butt and not only did you give away the second one you never told him you had
found another one. Then when you played both of them you just
cost him his credibility. The point being if you are going to screw somebody in
this game, don't do it to a friend ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE STILL IN THE GAME.
2.) People don't like you and now they know you are a sneak and not trustworthy.
3.) Finally and more to the point. Just last week you laughed at JT for giving away
an idol and this week you give away not one but two. You just gave away your
power sticks to people who you think are in your alliance. And then you wonder
why people don't like you. It looked like a stroke of genius for about two
seconds until you think about the fallout to come.
Next week we see Sandra going after Russell, should be great.
