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,
Lynn aka gone and already forgotten Randy
