Well here we are, back after our March Madness break.
Just to refresh your memories, its night 14 and the Heroes have just sent Tom home - another in a long list of Heroes sent packing. Candace had been adamant that the injured James should go, but now tells us she voted for Tom so as not to make anyone mad. In spite of that, Amanda tells us that no one trusts Candace and she should be the next Hero leaving on the Suckstobeyou Train.
Over at Camp Villain, Russell/Egg decides to have a little chat with Boston Rob. His intent is make Rob think that things are all nicey nicey between them. In fact, Russell tells us privately that Rob is a threat and anyone who threatens Russell is going down. The chat doesn't go well since Rob tells Russell that the tribe is pissed because he went looking for the hidden idol. The conversation ends with both of our two alpha males stalking away while telling the other to watch his back.
The next day an ambiguous tree mail note arrives. There will be a challenge involving hope and rope but beyond that no one can quite figure out what is going on. When they meet with Dimples he tells them both tribes will be going to Tribal Council to vote someone off. Each tribe will compete separately to establish who gets immunity. The winning member from each tribe will then compete against each other for reward. The challenge involves each tribe member being connected to a long rope that winds in, around, under and about a series of wooden obstacles. The Survivors must follow their rope through the course by climbing, twisting and crawling. Candace wins for the Heroes, thus making it impossible for them to follow through on their plan to send her home. Boston Rob wins immunity on the Villains team. Rob and Candace then square off to see which of their teams will win reward - a feast of hot dogs and soft drinks. Rob beats Candace to win reward for the Villains.**
The tribes return to camp to await Tribal Council and to strategize. On the Villains side, Coach finds himself squarely in the middle of two alliances. Rob hatches a plan where-by they will make Russell think he is going to be voted off, thus flushing out the idol. In reality though, they will vote for Parvati. But Russell is on to their game and says he will vote for Tyson and give Parvati his idol. Just when you think you know what's going on, Rob decides that they should split the votes between Russell and Parvati, ensuring that one of the two goes home. Russell figures this out too, and goes to Tyson. He tells Tyson that he is giving up and voting for Parvati. He can't stay loyal to her any more. Tyson, anxious to get the whole thing over with, decides to vote for Parvati too, thus messing up Rob's plan of three votes each.
Over at Camp Hero things are a little more straightforward. Colby says he knows he is going home and asks if they can just relax and enjoy the afternoon. James is disappointed in Colby. Apparently Colby is his all-time Survivor hero and he has let James down with his girly-man performance in the challenges. But there is still a faction that want's James to go. Amanda warns James that he better prove he can run and he better stop stealing bananas (the tribe has noticed). To do the former he has a race with JT, which JT wins while running backwards. To do the latter, James offers JT a banana.
So we get to Tribal Council. The Villains are up first. The votes are cast and Dimples asks if anyone wants to play an idol. Russell stands up and comes forward but surprises everyone by turning and giving the idol to Parvati. When the votes are counted Parvati has 4 votes, none of which count. Russell has two votes and Tyson has 3. Had Tyson stuck with Rob's plan he wouldn't be going home. But he didn't and he is. With Tyson goes Roberta from out pool. No one picked Tyson to win the million.
The Villains now get to eat their hot dogs while they listen in on the Hero's Tribal Council. James once again tells us how disappointed he is in Colby. He says its like finding out that Superman is wearing a fat suit. But fat suit or not, when the votes are counted, it is not Colby but James who is heading home. Amanda looks particularly miserable (understandable when we later see that she was one of those who voted against him). With James goes Pam from our pool. Lisa and Barb both picked James to be the overall winner so they are sad to see him go too.
So tonight we are down two. Who will be the next to go? See you next week to find out when we return to the regular Thursday schedule. Until then...

Survivor Heroes and Villains March 11/10
As we rejoin our intrepid Heroes, they are returning to camp having given Cirie the boot. Colby says JT is a hero for voting against his alliance. JT quickly does damage control, saying he did it for the team, not for himself (I want to believe him. Really I do...I LOVE JT). But Rupert is PO'd and when JT makes puppy eyes at Amanda and asks her to trust him, she tells us she doesn't believe him.
Meanwhile, at Camp Darkside, Coach is leading the villains in Dragonslayer Qi (his choice of words, not mine). Generally the villains seem to be buying into the physical part of the routine, but when Coach starts chanting some Tibetan rap thing there are a lot of snickers and eyes being rolled back into heads. For his part, Russell isn't impressed at all. Our EGG is going to spend his time looking for the idol (and really people, isn't that what this game is about?)Of course Russell being Russell he uproots trees for three hours and does manage to find the idol. "Here it goes again", says EGG.
For the reward challenge three members of each tribe battle in the mud to retrieve balls. They then toss the the balls to three tribemates on a platform who try to throw the ball across the compound and into a basket. James goes down early in the competition and medics are called in to look at his left knee. They pull him out of the challenge, though, for the moment, leave him in the game. So the Heroes must finish the challenge without the mighty James. Amanda gets the first basket for the Heroes and things are looking rosy for the good guys. JT and Coach get down and nasty and JT tosses Coach on the ground in a most un-zen manner. Jerri takes a hard hit from Rupert, then goes on to score the winning basket for the Villains. So the Villains head off on their reward...a chocolate feast at a resort-y kind of place. As they choke back all manner of chocolate their experience ranges from chocolate euphoria to chocolate nausea (and that's just Jerri). Of course chocolate-addled minds eventually turn to strategy. Rob, Coach, Jerri and a couple of other villains find some alone time and decide that Russell must have the idol (having noticed the new mole-hills all through the jungle). Rob says they must vote for Russell to flush it out. Of course our EGG has other plans. He tells Pavarti he has the idol and tells her they must get Coach on-side in order to get rid of Rob. When Russell tells Coach he has the idol, Coach actually kneels before him, saying he is honoured that Russell has put his trust in him. Russell "beknights" the kneeling Coach and tells us privately that now it is the King and the Dragonslayer (more like the king and the Royal fool).
Back on the battlefield, the Heroes have been sent back to camp, while the Medics take another look at James' knee. This is James' second injury in Survivor. Sorry Selina but I think the guy has been using steroids to get that dream bod. In any case, the folks back at camp are beginning to doubt he will be back. Amanda begins to cry, saying she is like James' little sister. Round about then Tom spots James limping across the beach toward camp. Amanda runs to meet him and throws her arms around her "big brother" (yeah right and Brad Pitt is my foster mother). James has his leg in a splint and is moving pretty slowly. Candace comments that James is now dead weight, suggesting he should be the next to go.
For the Immunity Challenge, all members of each tribe with the exception of one, are blindfolded. The unblindfolded person must verbally guide his team mates to locate 10 huge and heavy puzzle pieces scattered in a field. James, due to his infirmity, is the guide for the Heroes, an unfamiliar role for him. Jerri is the caller for the Villains. Both callers do an admirable job and, once again, the Heroes take an early lead. However, as in past challenges, we see their lead evaporate once it comes to putting the puzzle together. Rob guides the last piece into place and jumps on it to drive it home. Once again, our Heroes are going to have to go to Tribal Council to send someone home. Colby, Tom and Candace think that James is the obvious choice. Rupert and Amanda are adamant that it must be Tom. Candace feels that Tom is a risky choice and JT agrees. Well, actually, JT agrees with everyone, a fact that is being noticed in the camp. He agrees with Rupert that Tom should go, and he agrees with Colby that James should go. He can't cross us again, say Rupert.
So, once again, the Heroes head off to Tribal Council with JT as the unknown swing vote. But this time JT sides with the Rupert/Amanda camp. When Dimples tallies the votes Tom is heading back home for dinner with the missus. With Tom goes Selina from our pool, though I know Selina will still be watching, lustfully until James heads home. Somewhat surprisingly (at least to your humble scribe) no one picked Tom to win the million.
Until next week,

Survivor Heroes and Villains - March 4/10
Its night 8. The Villains arrive back at camp having just evicted Randy (who no one seems to miss much). We learn that Coach was greatly offended by Sandra's comments about him at Tribal Council. He tells Tyson what a sensitive guy he is, just managing to hide it behind his machismo, while keeping busy doing noble things. Then (oh m'god, tell me this isn't happening!!) Coach starts to cry. To his credit, Tyson handles it well, giving Coach a hug and telling him that he is there for him. He also offers to "coach" coach to get him back in tight with the tribe. Tyson suggests that maybe wearing feathers to Tribal Council is a little over the top. And those stories. The stories have to stop says Tyson. Nobody (NOBODY) wants to hear those stories. But no. Coach has to be true to himself. The feathers and the stories are who he is. The next day Coach takes his troubles to Rob. He tells Rob he is on the outside. He isn't one of the cool kids. Rob tells him that isn't true and asks Coach to trust him. Keep your head up and act like a man, says Rob. Coach promptly wanders off to do yoga while muttering that there is strength in weakness, he is one of a kind, last of the Mohicans, blah blah blah. My God! Where does this man come up with this stuff? Any small amount of sympathy I was feeling vanished like that little diamond mine I bought shares in a while back.
Tree mail arrives including a Sears catalogue from which the tribes pick their preferred luxury items. Clutching their wish lists, they hike off to find Dimples for the reward challenge. Members from each tribe go head to head, sliding wet bodies* across a wet slippery surface to try to retrieve a suspended ball. The first one from each pair to retrieve their ball and shoot a basket wins a point for their tribe. The first tribe to get 4 baskets wins reward. It comes down to a shoot out between Tyson and Colby, but Tyson sinks his basket first, giving the Villains another win. They cheerfully gather up their swag (knives and stuff to make their shelter more livable) and head back to camp. Once there, someone finally notices that the machete is missing. But before Russell can get any decent gloating done, a rolled up piece of paper falls out from the handle of a knife that came with their reward package. Bostom Rob snatches up the note and reads it aloud. It is a clue to an immunity idol hidden somewhere on their beach. Russell is mortified that he let the clue fall into the hands of the tribe, especially when they decide to find the idol and collectively destroy it. Russell wanders off by himself to look for the idol, causing Rob to send Sandra to spy on him. Although Russell doesn't find the idol, his obvious attempt to find it draws the wrath of the tribe. Rob calls him a stupid ass and likens him to a Hobbit on Crack. As a group, the Villains decide that Russell should be the next to go.
Over at Camp Hero, the tribe has decided to drown their sorrows in a good cup of coffee. As JT digs out a handful of coffee he finds a rolled up piece of paper buried in the Arabica. Sure enough, it is the Hero's version of where to find the hidden idol. Unlike the Villains, the Heroes all suddenly develop a strange glazed look and begin to scatter in all directions to look for the idol. Tom, Cirie and James are all digging under the same tree, when Tom unearths the idol. He quickly hides it in his sock but is spotted by Amanda. And so Tom has the idol, but everyone knows it.
For the Immunity Challenge, each tribe must select one member to ride in a large wooden ball. That person must guide two blindfolded tribe mates to roll the ball down a trail. At the end of the trail the same person must direct four other blindfolded tribe mates to get a ball through a table maze. Tom directs for the Heroes and Boston Rob for the Villains. Both men do an admirable job, but the Villains beat the Heroes by a hair.
Back at camp, Tom apologizes for the loss but knows he is a target because he has the idol. The strategizing heats up. Cirie wants Tom to go. She and Candace cook up a scheme to split the votes so that Tom will go if he doesn't play the idol, and Colby will go if he does play it. But JT tells us that he trusts Tom and Colby more than Candace, and would like to see Candace go. Tom offers to give the idol to Amanda and JT and has a measure of success and cementing an alliance with them. However Cirie refuses to vote for Candace and tells us that Amanda is not the sharpest tool in the shed for suggesting such a scheme. Break up the powerful Tom/Colby alliance, says Cirie. JT overhears this conversation and tells Tom that he is no longer in control and that Cirie is running the show. Not finished yet, Tom hatches a plan that will split the vote and send Cirie home. Poor JT (I love JT) tells us that he knows how everyone is voting except for himself. But when the votes are cast at Tribal Council Tom plays his idol, canceling any votes against him. The remaining votes are for Colby and Cirie. In the end, Cirie is the one heading home. Debbie from our pool heads off with Cirie for a shower and a good meal. No one picked Cirie and the ultimate winner.

Survivor Heroes and Villains February 25
Thanks Lynn!
Pat was disqualified from writing tonight due to her use of naughty words which causes people's employers to block the update. South Korea commiserates. You may find this version of events a little disjointed as I completed some Olympic worthy channel changes during this episode.
Back at camp after Tribal Council, James is still yakking. Tom and Colby have a little conference and decide perhaps the Heroes aren't all going to make nice. You think?
There's a surprising turn of events at the Villains camp. And let me tell you no one is more surprised than Russell's wife as Pavarti and he get down to some serious canoodling. Giggling (yes Russell was giggling), snuggling and big ole smiles all around. Boston Rob, who has taken the role of elder statesman this season, says the best way to determine who is aligned with who is to look at their sleeping arrangements. The camera slowly pans by Ruvarti, then zeroes in on Coach gently caressing Jerry's hair. Ahhh. The crowd gives a big cheer for Hayley Wickenheiser - whoops that was the Olympics again.
Back at Heroes Central, JT is getting to know Candice. He doesn't like what he hears. Candice, the medical student, appears to be smart. Who would have thunk? That doesn't mesh with JT's plans so off he goes to divide and conquer. JT tells Cirie Candice doesn't trust her. Cirie confronts Candice who denies it. Candice then spends the rest of the episode interrogating her tribe mates to find out who is messing with her. Let's rewind, JT questions you about your alliances and specifically focuses in on Cirie. Maybe Candice isn't that smart.
Boston Rob and Coach caution Russell about his new found buddy Pavarti. She's not to be trusted, they say. Coach is especially stern with Russell. So that night when Coach is telling everyone bed time stories, Russell hides the machete. He figures the ensuing clamour will deflect the spotlight from Ruvarti.
At the reward/immunity challenge Survivors have the opportunity to win back their personal luxury item as well as coffee, sugar, and rice. Tonight's challenge is sumo mud wrestling. The survivors pair off against each other on a wooden raft in a big pool of mud. Each survivor has a large, padded blocky thing (sorry didn't catch the name - Olympics again) which they use to try to push their opponent off into the mud. This was a mudslide victory for the Heroes who won every match.
So now the Villains have to vote their first person off. Two names immediately pop up. First Randy is mentioned because he's old and useless. They only said he was old, I added useless. Coach's choice is Pavarti because all the men (except him) lose control of their brain cells around Pavarti. Jerri champions this choice and says that she'd like to punch Pavarti in the face. The love seems to be mutual as Pavarti tells the camera that Jerri is just a bitter old cougar. Meow!
As Coach prepares to leave for the pivotal vote, he says he hates to pontificate but... Man, this guy likes to hear himself talk. Tonight's gems of wisdom were quotes from Martin Luther King where Coach seemed to be equating his Survivor journey to Martin Luther King's struggles. Holy self absorption Coach!
At Tribal Council, Dimples asks if there is a tribe leader. Sandra indicates that Boston Rob is until she gets tired of listening to him and that Coach tries to be, but is usually two miles away when anything needs to be done. Coach takes offense because if you didn't already know he is the hardest working person at camp. When he gets off his soapbox, the votes are cast. Old Man Randy's flame is snuffed sending me to the sidelines. I don't even care, that's how much I dislike Randy.
**Last week Pat touched on some inconsistencies with Boston Rob's dramatic performance on the floor of the jungle. I don't mean to add to the conspiracy theory this season, but where the hell are all these chickens coming from? I don't have that many chickens in Farmville.
Until next time,
