Survivor Heroes and Villains April 8/10

It is night 15 in the nameless south pacific location that serves as a setting for this edition of Survivor. Boston Rob is gone and Coach tells us that the waters are suddenly very muddy. Courtney and Sandra voted for Rob, making them public enemy numbers one and two. Parvati purrs to Russell that she knew she picked the right guy. There are several minutes of Russell bluster...I'm great, I control this game...blah blah blah. Coach is whining that Russell is a bully and now he finds himself in an alliance with Russell because of Jerri, because of course, the Dragonslayer couldn't do anything without his damsel.

On day 16 JT decides to go for a walk to look for the immunity idol hidden on the Hero's beach. Yes, the tribe has already decided that they would look for it together, but JT reasons that he doesn't know what the others are up to. After all, there might be another independent agent out there looking for it too. So JT goes digging in the mud among some tree roots and pulls out the idol. He is just going to make good his escape when Amanda (wondering where everyone has gone) comes wandering down the path. A visibly flustered JT decides to come clean and show Amanda the idol. When Candace also show s up he decides he might as well tell the whole tribe he has the idol, hoping his revelation will keep them from booting his cute little ass off the island. Privately though, Amanda and Candace tell us that JT is the slimiest one out there (NO I LOVE JT). They wonder if JT should be the next to go (NOOOOOOOOOOOO).

Eighteen days have passed. The villains are starving, but perk up when tree mail arrives promising food. Based on the contents of the tree mail note, the Villains suspect a merge. In case they get sent elsewhere, they pack up their entire camp and take it with them to the reward challenge. As they walk in with all their worldly possessions, Dimples announces that Boston Rob was sent home at Tribal Council. Someone from the Hero tribe (sorry I missed who it was because I was busy picking a *&^$# tick off me!) says that Rob was clearly the victim of an all girl alliance. JT mouths to Russell that he should "hang in there" and Russell snickers, knowing that the all girl alliance is really Russell in grannie panties. Meanwhile, the heroes are wondering why the hell the Villains have brought their entire camp with them to a reward challenge. "Did we miss something in the tree mail?" queries Colby. No, Colby. You didn't miss anything. There is no merge, just a bunch of villains with virtual egg on their faces.

The reward challenge involves a game of Survivor bowling. One member of each tribe takes turns rolling two balls each. Whichever knocks down the most pins in total wins a point for their tribe. The first tribe to get three points wins reward - a beer and pizza feast for the whole tribe. Its a squeaker, but Amanda knocks down the final two pins necessary to win it for the Heroes. As the tribe settles into their beer and pizza, JT goes on about the "all-girl" alliance that is responsible for Boston Rob going home. It is obvious to JT that Russell and Coach will be eager to align with the Heroes in a merge, given their "precarious" position at the hands of those wily Villain woman. (NOOOOOOOO JT, NOOOOOOOO).

At Camp Evil, Jerri is blaming Coach for sitting out Courtney and Sandra in the Reward Challenge, meaning that they will now have to compete in the Immunity Challenge. Courtney takes this as a personal insult and feels like she is being blamed for losing a challenge she didn't even compete in. Sandra tells us she hates her whole tribe. Coach tells us he also hates his whole tribe. Are you feeling the love here? Sandra decides that she wants to get even with Coach so she tells Russell that Coach wants to get rid of him. Russell falls for her story hook line and sinker (or in Sandra's words "he ate that crap up. Russel don't know how to play this game"). Meanwhile Russell and Parvati are thinking that getting rid of Coach will also further convince the Heroes that the Villain tribe is under the control of an all-girl alliance.

For the Immunity Challenge, Dimples has the tribes belted together in pairs. They are to move under and over a muddy obstacle course as a team to retrieve a flag. The first tribe to retrieve two flags wins immunity. The first pair of Villains is Russell and Sandra. Sandra slows them down and Russell is visably PO'd. The Heroes eventually win with Colby and JT beating out Pavarti and Courtney.

Back at camp the Villains wash the mud off in the ocean. Coach tells us it is like being at a spa. He tells us the Dragonslayer feels energized and is "coming into his own" (huh?). Coach really wants to get rid of Russell but admits that Courtney is the weakest link and should go next. Russell, of course, still thinks Coach should go since he believes Coach is conspiring against him. Danielle tells Russell that getting rid of Coach is stupid when they still have to win challenges. In the end it looks like Russell has had a change of heart about Coach, but when Dimples tallies the vote at Tribal Council, it is Coach who is moving over to become the first member of the jury. With the mighty Dragonslayer goes our own Kathy. Sorry Kathy! No one voted for Coach to be the ultimate winner so we have no changes there.

Until next week (when we learn that someone, possible my JT, makes a goof of monumental proportions)....

Outwit, Outplay, Outlast
Pat (aka Courtney that shoulda been me Yates)

Back at camp
