I was traumatized right up front at the start of tonight’s Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, when we got to see some of Coach’s Dragon Slayer Chi… his own special form. though they’re snickering, most of his tribe is participating. Russell walks by and later tells the camera that he thinks this is “kochee in a circle meditatin’ crap.”
Despite having spot-lighted himself by outwardly searching for the immunity idol, he did indeed find it. Russell is a lean, mean, digging, immunity magnet!
The Heroes set a tone that says they’re focused when they refuse chocolate samples. (Are they nuts!!!???) In the challenge for a chocolate feast, medical has to attend to James. His knee was buckling and medical pulled him out. Instead of evening the teams, Heroes are a man short now. Heroes gets the first coconut basket point. Villains, next point. It’s getting ugly as rough contact ensues between a few folk. The villains win the chocolate feast-off by a winning shot by Jerri.
Later, we watch Russell making a deal with Coach, hoping to make it to the merge with him. Coach seems besides himself to be considered a partner of Russell. Poor Coach.
In the immunity challenge, James has to take a non-physical role in the event, but the Villains won the immunity challenge, making it 4 out of 5 challenges that the villains have won.
Now, the editors are showing us everyone talking about voting James out… so who is really going? I tend to ruin it for myself by paying attention to how they cut the episode. It’s designed to make it a surprise cast-out, but if you pay attention to what and how they show you things, you can almost predict who’s at least, not going.
At tribal council, the votes went Tom, Tom, James, James, Tom, Tom… Tom is on the outs and kicked to the curb! Like I said, the editors were messing with us!
This leaves the slightly hobbled James still in the game, as he’s trussed up in a big old leg brace to be able to walk around.
Until the next episode of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, which is in TWO WEEKS from tonight!
