Dear favorite blogger fan,
Please don't share this with any of the other weak ass people who call themselves blogger fans. I am giving you the hidden immunity idol tonight so you can continue to read my blog and feel safe. Read on........................
Tonight at Heroes camp we start by seeing Candance and Amanda talking about JT and not trusting him. Huh? Really? He found the idol after saying at a feast that they should look for the idol together. I wonder why they don't trust Mr. Broken Tooth?
Over at Villains camp we see that Russell is the only guy left and he promises to make sure that Sandra and Courtney are next to go. If history tells us anything then there should be a huge red light flashing, a horn blowing next to a neon sign which reads, ALL GIRL ALLIANCE AHEAD. Parvati is in charge and she is telling Russell what he wants to hear much like that one guy from Michigan, remember Eric the ice cream scoop guy who gave away his idol to Natalie because he trusted the women and then wound up getting voted off. More on this to come........................
The reward challenge was designed for Courtney in mind. It involves standing in one spot and not moving for longer than anybody else. The tribes were of course supposed to rank the players according to best to worst but that really don't go anywhere. Note to producers of Survivor, ranking players and then having them do nothing to prove their ranking other than doing nothing is stupid. Now put a blindfold on them, give them a knife and send them into a pond with alligators.........................
Anyhow, villains win the Outback Steakhouse winner take all do nothing challenge.
Then we come across total happenstance or however you spell it. Parvati finds a clue to the idol in her napkin and only tells Danielle. Talk about blind dumb luck falling into the lap of Parvati. Danielle offers to hide the clue in her boobs...................................................I'm sorry what was I talking about........................Oh yeah,Parvati stays calm when she finds the clue about the idol, unlike Russell who pees his pants, does a dance and calls his mom everytime he finds a idol, Parvati stays calm about it and then tells us she is in control. God I hate that girl, but she is right.
Oh yeah, we got to hear that Sandra went to Outback Steakhouse twice just before her husband went to serve in the army. Yea for Sandra. I am guessing with her attitude he re-upped and begged to be sent back. Sandra also did the waa waa you lost to the heroes when they lost the reward challenge. What a B............
Then we come to "The Simple Plan." J.T. drafts a letter to Russell which should have read like this:
Dude,
I am writing this letter from the red wood deck at my double wide tribal hut here in Dumbassville heroes camp. I found one of the most critical pieces to winning Survivor and wanted to pass it along to you. Although I barely know you, nor never had the opportunity to watch you play the game and don't know your strategies and only talked to you for about five minutes total. You are the last man standing in your tribe of people who shouldn't be trusted at all and I wanted to let you know that I trust you totally. Please don't tell anyone in your camp who you have spent the first twenty or so days developing relationships with that someone you don't know at all from the opposing camp is trusting you with this most valuable game piece. Please destroy this letter and don't share it with anyone.
Yours forever, J. T. "Broken Tooth," Gump
The challenge was a laugher again for the heroes and we got to see the idol exchange and soft kiss between JT and Russell.
We then see Russell and Parvati reading the love letter from J.T. and the gall of them to be laughing out loud.
The talk at villains camp was simply, we can control Courtney but can't trust Sandra so of course instead of keeping the person they can control they keep the person they can't trust which makes perfect sense to any moron who ever got voted out of this game. The talk at tribal council even centered around having trust in people.
I think they will regret this decision as a preview from next week shows Sandra talking to Rupert. She knows she is on the outs and with her attitude she will jump ship I am quite sure. I think next week it will be either Jerri or Danielle going hom. The comment of the week was Sandra when she said, "Me without Courtney is like beans without rice." Classic. An oh by the way, Sandra didn't want her "beans and rice buddy," to go home but she still voted for her anyway. What a piece of crap.
Next week JT drafts a letter to the Wizard of Oz asking for a brain.

Snot Rockets, Welfare Checks and Topless Mud Challenges
I know that you have all been through this experience. You are trying to get over a cold and your left sinus cavity has been totally blocked for about three days and you reach for a tissue, blow your nose and shoot a snot rocket out that blows the bottom of your tissue apsrt. (Sounds sort of like a paint ball going through a fan) The air finally rushes into your left sinus and you nearly fall down because you get so dizzy from the pressure equalizing out in your head that you almost puke.
Happy Friday morning to everyone.
Villains
Is it just me or does anybody else think Sandra and Courtney would have problems getting welfare checks? They don't do anything on the show. Oh, wait a minute they do slow people down on challenges so they might be a good fit as state workers.
We start this week like every other week with Russell telling us he is in charge and then we see Danielle and Parvati talking about blindsiding people. Then we pan to Jerri saying she might have voted for the wrong person in getting rid of Rob and expressing this to Coach. Ya Think? You took out a person who not only was a great challenge player but he was in your alliance and was looking out for you. Why don't you go home and shove a fork in your dad's eye as a thank you. And then we hear dumbass #2 aka/Coach who voted for Courtney last time which resulted in Rob going home, saying the Villains are dead. Upon reading the tree mail they are convinced the merge is coming and do what all players do in this case, pack up their entire camp and assume they are moving.
Heroes
J.T. goes looking for the idol about five seconds after saying "The Group," needs to look for it together. Amanda has her radar on and follows J.T. and gets to him as he is admiring it. He does his best song and dance routine and is forced to show it to her. (He probably could have re-hid it had he not spent about five minutes fondling it like it was the first boob he ever touched)Then Candance comes along and soon everyone knows he has it.
Reward Challenge
Amanda gets in her weekly "OH MY GOD," when she sees the feast of food and then again when she sees Rob was voted out. I am pretty sure I have read where she has uttered those three words more times than all the reality stars combined in the history or television. Jeff teases the Villains by saying, Drop your..........expectations, we aren't merging. Dude probably stayed up night and waited many years to say that. Yeah.............Bowling for reward reminded of a show I watched on tv called Bowling for Dollars years ago. I think our bus driver appeared on the show once winning about $ 50.00 and gift card from the department store Mr. Wiggs. Mr. Wiggs was the early version of WalMart with the exception being you had to have at least six teeth and not wear stupid clothes to shop there. Back to our bus driver, she wouldn't have rolled five gutter balls in a row like the Villains did who once again got their asses handed to them. ALSO................I thought of this before the reward challenge and wrote this down. They had to have two people sit out and I wrote this down. DO NOT have Courtney and Sandra sit out the reward challenge because if you do, they MUST play in the immunity challenge. Now in going over my notes I see where Russell, Coach and Danielle have all said Courtney and Sandra are horrible challenges. More on this to come.
The heroes stuff themselves. Rupert and Amanda get a little cocky with comments including the "Fantastic Five." You are actually the fantastic four with a one broken tooth southern boy who is about you start back stabbing you.
Back at villains camp Jerri starts complaining about sitting out Courtney and Sandra for the reward challenge and Sandra says, "So you are blaming us for losing today?"
Danielle jumps in and says the same thing. You see one part of this game involves being social you see...............not being a dumbass. The team then starts talking about who they are going to vote out next, BEFORE they ever go to the challenge. As for the challenge the Villains should have just mailed this one in as the two people, take a minute and think about who sucked at the challenge, go ahead I will wait................................................................................ Sandra and Courtney cost the Villains again. Then they go back to camp and lament about losing again. OH YEAH, did anybody catch the topless Heroe girl covered in mud in the backgroud? It was either Amanda or Candance just standing there with her top down around her waist. DID ANYBODY TEVO THAT PART? Just asking. Back to the Villains, Um, just an idea here. Had you kept Rob and throw in the fact you put Sandra and Courtney in the challenge in the first place, it's not your effort but rather your dumbass decision making that is hurting you. It is an unwritten rule to get rid of the weakest players BEFORE the merge.
The Villains go to tribal council and Jeff is deep in Courtney's shit right away. I didn't think the host was playing but it appeared he was. Don't hide from it Jeff, you pushed her in front of the bus and I am saying this about someone who shouldn't be there in the first place. So the Villains make the obvious choice by voting out the only player to not only finish but win his leg of the immunity challenge and keeping the whiny ass girl with the bad ankle who only contribution to the team is she has good penmenship. Russell better hope for a merge or at the very least a win in the next immunity challenge. Next week we see J.T. toying with the idea of giving Russell the idol. WTF?
Happy Friday morning to everyone.

Foreshadowing, Indecision and Egos
I am glad I waited to write this blog as my sister Gina asked me this past Friday: "Why didn't Rob and Russell team up and beat everyone?" I said for two reasons, they each had big egos and each wanted to be the leader. If they could have figured out a way to work together, they would be a touch force to beat. More on this later.......
At villains camp..........
We hear Rob say" It's ridiculous for people to think that 3 people can beat 5 people" which led me to believe that someone from the larger group was going home. We then see Russell say for the 185th time ( I counted ) since he has been on Survivor "I'm that good." We then see Parvati say Jerri is jealous of her because of her relationship with Russell and then she goes and says to Jerri "I will take you to the final four." When you make that type of comment to someone you are taking a lot for granted thinking you have the final four sewn up. There is confidence, there is cocky and there is being stupid. As I am watching I am thinking, "Have Jerri snd Coach put any thought into realizing they are the swing votes for this tribe?" Right now they have the power if they think about it. Rob, Courtney and Sandra think the two of them are on their side and Russell, Parvati and Danielle think they are in their court. Having the advantage of knowing how people have played before, I would go with Rob, Sandra and Courtney because there is only one brain between the three of them.
Heroes Camp
Rupert says "We need to stay strong." Colby makes the most obvious statement of the game so far, "If James knee had held up, I would be gone."
Reward challenge takes up to water basketball and we see Rupert and Russell mixing it up quite a lot and then we see Colby and Candance dominate the game for the Heroes as they win easily. When the Heroes get their reward they find a clue for the idol and immediately decide to look together to find it. This is a great idea in theory and will be valuable if they can make it to the merge without losing anyone. My question would be, what happens if they lose a challenge before the merge? Does anyone get use the shared idol? Makes you think.
Villains Camp
We see Russell making yet another deal in promising to take Coach and Jerri to the final three. I was't a math major but Parvati promised to take Jerri to the final four with her and then Coach promised to take Jerri and Coach to the final three with him. Looking at this logically that is five people vying for 3 and a half spots.
If Coach and Jerri are really as close as they say, they should compare notes and easily figure out that Parvati and Russell are the master minds and should turn them against each other later in the game. And what the hell is up with Coach all of a sudden? Where has the swagger gone?
Immunity Challenge
The netting relay puzzle race. I lay the blame squarely on Courtney here. Girl couldn't punch her self out of a paper bag if you gave her a pair of scissors and a book of matches. The villains were way ahead until she took her turn and couldn't get out of the netting. The Heroes won easily again which is becoming a pattern.
Vote
Why the hell did Coach vote for Courtney after listening to everyone talk? Dude is playing the ultimate, "I am loyal and a follower." Unless he is playing everyone which he may be but I doubt it, he won't win because he doesn't have the nads to make the big decisions on his own. While it is great to be loyal and all that, if you are paying attention dude, you will figure out Parvati and Russell.
Next week we start to see the wheels of the villains truck falling off.

Banana Etiquette, Ropes and Being Stupid
Sometimes people change and sometimes they don't. (Sorry again for the lateness as the Wednesday episode threw me for a loop) As I was watching the opening of the show on Wednesday I wrote down "James is finally getting it." He offered Colby a hug which I took as, "Too bad dude, enjoy your last days here." More on this later.
We then see Candance explaining her changing her vote to ax Tom last week which really made no sense since she was in the majority already. Throw in the fact that people don't like her and Candance is gift wrapping herself for a quick ouster. She must be a real putz behind the scenes because people really don't like her nor do they trust her which means she doesn't have any chance to win. People will still vote for you to win the million because they think you outplayed them even if they don't trust you, however, when they don't like you, they won't vote for you even if you were the best player. Remember Natalie beating Russel in the final last year, nuf said.
We then see Rob making the comment "Russell is playing the big boys now," and then we see Russell saying almost the same thing about Rob. Then we see them having a night time talk. Rob says, "Watch your back," and Russell says "Watch your back," then we get the "NO you watch your back," etc. I am hoping they both stick around for a long time.
The challenge is reward and someone going home. When the teams come together Danielle is surprised that James is still there and that the heroes voted out Tom. I have to admit, I thought the same thing. The tribes square off in a rope maze with both teams having a winner for immunity and both teams having to vote someone off. The ultimate winner gets to have his team watch the losers vote their player off. Candance and Boston Rob win. Back at camp we see Amanda crying because she thinks James will be voted out so she does what every American born person would do, she asks a cripple to run. This was a version of dumb and dumber because everybody was going to vote off Cobly before James decided to take the advice of Amanda and race one of The heroes vote off James as the villains watch. Okay, I am confused, you vote off a good player last week who isn't injured and then this week you keep a guy who wanted to leave and who was aligned with the player you voted out last week. Although James was hurt, he wanted to be there. If history shows nothing else in Survivor, players who want to leave will continue to give up later in the game, count on it. As far as Candance is concerned, her days are numbered.
Not to the "What the hell what I thinking," portion of the game. I ain't the smartest guy in the world but when Rob explains to the group the theory of splitting the vote 3 - 3 - 3, it made prefect sense. Um, it made perfect sense to the 12 million people watching and eight of the nine people playing. The only person in the free world who didn't think it was a good idea was the only person who it mattered to, Tyson. It was quite apparent that he doesn't have the ability to count to four. I didn't think he played much of a game the first time around and this time around he totally sucked. His picture goes up on the wall with James with two idols, Ozzie getting blindsided and Eric giving away immunity. An oh by the way, Russell giving Parvati immunity wasn't a stroke of genius in my book but a huge gamble. Had Tyson not changed his vote it would be Russell's picture on that wall. That and the fact Russell always says he is the best player ever, then why in the world would you save one of the most two faced players ever?
And finally, about banana etiquette. NOPE, not going to go there.

Chocolate, Injuries and Blindfolds
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.

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.

Creatures of Habit / Winners vs. non winners /Week 3 / All Stars
I am not going to gloat that I told you so, but I did. Remember J.T. saying he was going to play this game differently this time around, remember? And my response was, no you won't? Remember? If you don't remember then you need to make a doctor's appointment and get checked for Alzheimer's because it just happened last week. Well, J.T.'s new strategy worked for all of about three days in Survivorville because we see him apologizing to Tom for voting out Stephenie, instead of voting for James. Yeah dude, you and I and about 11 million other people know you would have never apologized if James had been voted out. Me thinks that one will come back to haunt you. Then we see Tom telling James to "play gentler." We then see Tom and Colby reflecting on what has happened and how they may have to change. Again, ain't gonna happen. This brings me to my first huge point of the week, pitting former winner's against non-winners will never work in Survivor. With everything being equal and it will happen as it happened in the first Survivor All Stars, the vote will come down to a non-winner staying over a winner. Yes folks it will happen a few times this season, that will be the reasoning. That's my main reasoning why Parvati, Tom, J.T., Sandra, and Rupert and probably Rob because his wife won, won't win.
Speaking of Rob, I never gave him props for building fire last week without flint. Then he makes a keen observation that who people sleep by makes a difference. That was one of those comments that made perfect sense right when he said it. We see people jumping around when Tom recaptures the chicken, must have been a boring three days. Coach makes a comment to Russell that Parvati is very dangerous, ya think? Even before the game started I circled her as one to get rid of quickly, especially if I am a guy. Talk about a creature of habit, this is her third time playing and she plays exactly the same each time, flirting with the guys and then getting rid of them. We then see our favorite bully Russell hiding the machete. Since no one from his season is playing, this was a bold move in an attempt to cause discord at camp. However, with this being the second and third go around for the players, it may not cause any problems. We then see Russell being buddies with Parvati telling her he wants to take her to the final two. Again, these aren't first time players and they aren't going to fall for this. Then we get to this week's foreshadowing. Randy goes out and finds a huge shell and asks people if they want to share? Dude? I said people are creatures of habit and Randy asks people if they want to share, pinch me.
No one wants any at first but then Parv and Sandra have a little. We then see Courtney looking pissed. I think of 200 - 300 people who have played Survivor before and I am trying to think of one reason why they brought her back over the other 199 - 299 players. She didn't do squat the first time around and this time around I would have to give her a D- for even doing squat. I don't get it. I actually hope the tribe mistakes her for a chicken and puts her into one of the cages. J.T. makes another mistake in telling Cirie that he thinks Candance doesn't trust her which of course causes Cirie to ask Candance who of course denies it. Then we see Candance breaking a cardinal rule as she starts asking everybody at camp about it. A few words of advice Candance, don't get paranoid and start asking people if they are talking about you because if you do this, people will start talking about you. Play the game to win, not to be scared.
The Immunity Challenge lasted about thirty seconds, that's how long it took Tom to beat Russell's ass in the padded mud wrestling competition. The villains treated this just like they treated their camp, not much interest. It sort of reminded me of the movie Cold Running with John Candy, the true story of the Jamaican Bob Sled team. Watching this has inspired me to try out for the USA Curling team for 2014, hey if I am going travel half way around the world to get my butt beat on national television, I might as well get a good ass kicking. The villains got beat 8 - 0 in one of the worst butt kickings in the history of Survivor.
We see the pre-tribal council talking and Sandra says "As long as its not me," for about the 20th time since she first started playing. Again, you can't tell me they picked her over other former players? What the hell, did all the other former players have weddings and funerals to go to? My goodness I think a blind guy with a wooden leg would be a better player. Jerri and Parvati don't really care for one another, go figure someone not liking Jerri, except Coach.
Anyhow, Randy gets voted out by a 9 - 1 count. Dude, 9 - 1? Really? Randy, one of the main things to accomplish is to make friends. Again, why did they take this guy for a second go around? Another prediction, Randy will get about five seconds of air time at the finale this year, he'll get to say hi to his dog.
For the record after three vote outs, here are my early observations. The hereo's want to work together as a team, but when the total team is working in a challenge they suck, they have a better camp setup, they work better in challenges when it involves one or two people at a time and they have a hard time handling adversity. The villains have a lousy camp, don't really care if they work together as a team, talk in terms of me, do better in team challenges and simply don't trust one another, other than the two people who people love to hate, Coach and Jerri. Someone do the math on that one.
Next week we see people looking for the hidden idol (hopefully if James finds it he will know how to use it this time) and Rob is shooting for Russell which probably means Rob is going home.
Until next week, Uncle Andy.
