Survivor Heroes and Villains April 29/10

Thanks to Lynn for doing the update this week.

We join our little group back at camp after Tribal Council. Candace schmoozes the Villains with her congratulations on their game play. Russell is none too impressed however. He chastises Pavarti about keeping mum on her extra idol, after all he is the reigning king of idols.

The next day, Amanda & Rupert discuss who they can work on to flip. Rupert is mighty annoyed that none of his compadres believed Sandra's story about Russell running the show. While Amanda & Rupert plot, Russell is up to his old tricks. He is making nice with Candace, telling her to just leave everything up to ol' Uncle Russell and he'll have her back all the way to the final three. I'm sure the next shot of a spider spinning a web was purely coincidental.

The reward challenge is Survivor's take on shuffleboard. Survivors are randomly divided into teams of 3. It appears to be a sweep for the team of Russell, Rupert, and (can't even play shuffleboard) Sandra. On the last shot, the very last shot, Colby lands his game piece right on the coveted anchor. Danielle, Amanda, and Colby are off to Robert Louis Stevenson's house to watch Treasure Island from a comfy bed. Amanda can't relax though. She is sure there's a clue to an idol somewhere and she means to have it. Danielle is chowing down on the popcorn when lo and behold she finds the clue in the bowl. She surreptitiously drops it on the floor beside her. Amanda didn't just fall off the cabbage truck. She knows Danielle is looking a little too smug. She hones in on Danielle's territory searching for her prey. Aha! Amanda dives for the clue on the floor. Danielle is incensed that someone would steal her clue and demands Amanda give it back. Girl fight!! As the two tussle, Colby doesn't even bat an eye. When asked to judge, Colby sides with Danielle saying she found the clue first so it belongs to her. That line of reasoning explains why Colby hasn't won Survivor.

When they return to camp the next day, everyone is informed that Danielle has a clue to the idol. Danielle & Russell head off to find the idol. Russell finds it and throws it off to the side when Danielle isn't looking. He then manages to pocket the idol without Danielle knowing. Colby - any fair play comments??

At the Immunity Challenge, Survivors are required to build a 10' tower of tiles in a manner similar to card house construction. It's an exercise in frustration for most of them, but Jerri and Russell showcase their skills. The race is sooo close with Jerri finishing seconds ahead of Russell.

Now the real scrambling begins. Sandra is going to flip to the Heroes. Candace is going to flip to the Villains. Candace tells Russell the Heroes are voting for him. Russell confronts Sandra. Sandra confronts Candace. Russell confronts both of them. Phew, I'm tired just typing it all. All this talk is making Russell nervous. He decides to cover his butt by unnecessarily playing the Idol as Sandra & Candace voted with the Villains for Amanda to go home taking Jeff out of our pool. Now this is a fine kettle of fish Russell. Danielle & Parvati are PO'd at you for stealing Danielle's idol and methinks maybe Sandra and Candace have formed a little alliance. Estrogen is rising to the surface, let's see if you can squirm your way out of this Mr. Hantz.
