Survivor - Heroes vs Villains
In Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains season finale, we had Colby, who used more social strategy than his past season. Parvati, who has played Survivor more than anyone. Slinky and sneaky. I’ve never really liked her.. she reminds me of someone I used to work with. Then there’s Sandra who played a stealthy yet in your face game, all at once. And Jerri, a player who was a bit flirtatious and yet pushy. Of course, there’s Russell. Russell used each tool available to him, told everyone what they needed to hear to diffuse them, and tossed each item until the need of the tool is done. In their face, blunt, arrogant and sneaky as all get out. I call him the head game master.

The evening started out on Survivor with Rupert and Russell at odds with each other. Civil but nasty words were exchanged.
In the first challenge, both Russell and Sandra caved for a food temptation quickly, then Donaldson, and he was quickly followed by Danielle, Candice and Jerri. It came down to Parvati and Rupert, but Rupert fell off the block and Parvati won the challenge.
After the challenge, they were given a clue to the next immunity idol. Everyone scrambled, but Sandra found it, but Rupert pulled a stunt, pretending to have found it. That put a false target on his back.

Jumping right into the first Survivor challenge, Colby, Danielle, Amanda win it, and the prize is a viewing of the movie Treasure Island at Robert Louis Stevenon’s museum / home. While watching the movie, Danielle spotted a clue in the popcorn and tried to hide it. Amanda called her on it and they get into a cat fight. Amanda is possessed about it, but Colby refereed and said the clue is Danielle’s. End squable.
Of course Danielle shows Russell the clue and as “they” look for it, Russell finds it. The usual banter goes on as tribe members try to barter and angle their way out of being voted out.
The immunity challenge involved building a tower of really large cards to the height of 10 feet. Jerri barely beat Russell at the immunity challenge. At the tribal council, Russell played his immunity idol, thinking the tribe was gunning for him. They should… but whatever.
The votes went this way: Amanda, Amanda, Parvati, Parvati, Amanda, Amanda, Parvati but Amanda gets the boot from the tribe.
That’s how the island of somber Gilligans panned out tonight!
Survivor - Heroes vs Villains
I do find it fascinating that the women are tending to wear more thong-like outfits this season. I wonder if the production company is trying to spruce up the eye-candy factor? But enough of that, let’s get on with what happened on Survivor Heroes vs. Villains.
Russell is pretty confident about other tribe members “eating out of my hands.” The tribes merged tonight… and early on, Russell did not know that Parvati has the ‘other’ immunity idol. They’ve named the new tribe Ying Yang. And now the immunity challenge is an individual win!

The tribes got a heads up about the upcoming challenge and the plotting and planning. The Villains were thinking that the women with smaller feet would do well in this upcoming challenge. There was all kinds of plotting going on but it didn’t do the Heroes any good…
During the challenge, it was noted that Amanda was the first Survivor ever, to have competed in Survivor for 100 days. Meanwhile, the first point went to Jerri, then Rupert fell out, giving Sandra the 2nd point for the Villains and then Amanda dropped out, giving Villains the Outback Steakhouse Reward… Heroes go home. Ouch, Sandra was a little bratty about rubbing in the victory.
At the reward dinner, Parvati found a note in her napkin that she quickly hid away and later shared with Danielle. It was an immunity clue, and they weren’t letting Russell know. The girls later go huntin for the immunity idol… and find it.

SURVIVOR Heroes vs Villains Recap from Apr 8th… With Rob Gone, Russell is in charge… he thinks. Meanwhile, JT found the immunity idol and the secrecy of it lasts all of what, 30 seconds? Then everyone knew about it… nice going JT.
Of course, despite some expectations, there was no merge this week. LOL. It will probably happen next week when they least expect it.
The immunity challenge was won by the Heroes and with some trickery, the Villains gave the island boot to Coach. So much for being the Dragon Slayer… then again, this wasn’t a dragon, it was Survivor!
See ya Coach! BTW, Coach becomes the first member of the jury, where he can tame the jury dragons there. If anyone will listen to him. According to the preview for the next episode, it looks like JT does the STUPIDEST Survivor move to date! We’ll see how that goes!
In tonight’s episode of Survivor, Boston Rob told Russell he’s marked because he went looking for the immunity idol.
The challenge today was the twisty rope through bars and stuff challenge. Agh… that would drive me daffy. I’d look like a human in a giant web before I got 15 feet! But 1/2 the crowd navigated the obstacle course rather well.
After all was said and done, Heroes Candice won the individual immunity challenge. Boston Rob from the Villains won the 2nd individual immunity.
Then Rob faced off against Candice to win hot dogs and soda to munch on during tribal council, while watching the other team in their moments of debate during council. Ouch.
Rob won the challenge.
During tribal council, Russell up and gave Parvarti his immunity idol… It looked like a well played move on Russell’s part, as Tyson got himself voted out. Beating out Russell by one vote.

Then no one seemed convinced that James’ leg was OK and voted him off the island.
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.

Coach breaks down, and for a for a slight mili-second, if you’ve been drinking… heavily, you might have started feeling bad for him. But then after Boston Rob gives him a pep-talk to man-up, Coach realizes how much he is like The Last of the Mohicans, the Dragon Slayer.
When I stopped puking, the next thing up was the Survivor Villains vs Heroes slimy basket game… villains took an early lead. Gotta say it was interesting to watch them slide through the oil. Then James brought it up to 3-2, but villains still in the lead. Rupert tied it up 3-all… It came down to Tyson and Colby… and Tyson won the reward game.

Thursday night’s Survivor: Heroes vs Villains had the usual mix of Survivor skulduggery and jaw-drop silliness and a big old ziing on Randy. Did he even see that coming? Probably.
Oh crap, Russell is being Russell. He hid the machete, or as they put it in Survivor Tribal Council, it grew legs. I’m surprised the group doesn’t realize it’s Russell. This is classic Russel from the beginning of his own season.
