I think this season is full of bullshitters... lord, i hope the final tribal council doesn't pan out like the one in Vanuatu, that was the dumbest jury speech i've ever heard from Chris.. what it comes down to is how good you are at it. Amanda, she's done nothing but screw up royally from the beginning.. i'll get more into it a little later, She's full of it, however she doesn't follow thru, so she's not that much to worry about. Boston Rob, full of it, but he's like Amanda (more on this one later too) Russell, he's full of it, Sandra she's full of it, Rupert, he's full of it... but Sandra! now Sandra is the deadly kind. She's yet to do anything. & like Amanda she comes up with these great strategies, & like Parvati she doesn't appear to be intimidated by anyone, & like Russell she doesn't care who she confronts, she'll face you head on... however at the end of the day she crumbles. She never follows thru on anything.. you can argue with me until you're blue in the face thats its "strategy" its not strategy. Strategy is what she comes up with, strategy would be following thru on her ideas, She's not a strategist. she's a scared little pussycat. Russell is the lion tamer & she's his little pussycat. She will slit your throat with a smile on her face, but just as she puts the blade to your throat, Russell cracks his whip & she crumbles. What she has going for her: no one knows she's going back on her plan but herself... that kind of bluffing makes her dangerous.. and again, thats not strategy.
At the reward challenge i love how Parvati called Russell out & calls him "lame" yeah, he did it intentionally & it was "playful" but i loved it.. more on that in a minute also
now to this reward...
**I was actually shocked with Danielle. I'm not gonna lie i didn't think Danielle had it in her without Parvati & Russell backing her up.. yeah, at the time i was questioning her intelligence too, but it worked for her. I think i could have came up with some other place to throw it than beside the bed. Amanda, again, the girl is rather observant. the girl know what it takes to be good at this game, she knows everything you're supposed to do, she just doesn't do it.. she went to Danielle, she called her bluff, she made her feel uncomfortable, she stole the clue from her. Danielle gets out of the damn bed, chases her, grabs her and tells her "i will fight you" Now Amanda, like i said, she's a smart girl, she knows Danielle isn't going to "fight" her, she knows if she does she's kicked out and the clue is hers for the keeping. It doesn't matter if someone is backing her original idea or not, you have to stick with a plan Amanda, you come up with some great plans you have to stick with them (i'll touch on her failed plans later) Colby isn't backing you he "doesn't know what happened" he was watching Treasure Island (i love Colby) its you & Danielle, she's 5 feet tall all you have to do is hold it over your head, you said it yourself its your life in this game, its important, you don't crumble & give in, don't give it up!! ... she's so frustrating! i'm so glad she's gone.. Danielle telling her alliance back at camp exactly how she got the clue from her.. now that was entertainment. too bad it didn't happen that way, but they believed it, or editing appeared like they believed it anyway. Russell called her aggressive... that has to count for something, right? Danielle, aligned with the two most dangerous people in this competition is in a good position as well....
Now Colby, as i touched on a couple weeks ago with James' "superman in a fat suit" comment. The game has changed a lot since Colby last played, and in order to survive you have to adapt to the changes. Colby has a done good job at adapting. Colby isn't used to having these other obstacles coming into play. If he did have an idol he wouldn't know when to play it anyway, he sat back & let the two girls fight over it & he stayed out of the way. He's not the target at Tribal Council. Unlike Boston Rob who cried fowl yet still acted like he was the one to beat... if you're going to be so vocal & so out on the front line, you better have what it takes to back it up, Colby knows he doesn't have what it takes, so he sets back.. great move, Colby, great move.
I think the editing star of this episode was Sandra, so we'll save her for later. Did Parvati & Danielle make a crucial mistake? & Russell, you're gonna have to put your ego in check because you're ruining everything! Jerri, the sweet one? Candice a shoe in for the final3... or just the top 6?? There were so many things to discuss its impossible to keep this blog organized so bare with me....
Parvati, Danielle, Jerri & Russell sitting on the beach, Russell & jerri dumbfounded at Parvati's idol. Russell ego won't let him say "awesome job" however Jerri gives her the praise she deserves loving every minute of the story of how she got it... then Danielle comes in & says "oh i knew about it"... smart move to tell Russell & Jerri you're closer with someone else?? ehh, we'll have to wait and let this pan out i guess.. i'm not sure i would have done it.
**Candice, i love Candice, i do. physically she's the strongest woman in the competition. She deserves to go far in this game, but she's letting me down. She's made it to the merge & she's flopping big time! like a fish outta water! you're in an awesome position! don't blow it! don't consult with your tribe before you turn on them!?!?!!! i'm so disappointed in Candice. According to Jeff Probst she's only on the show because of her decision to mutiny in Cook Islands (i say its because others declined, but whatever that doesn't matter) so are they really surprised she's gonna jump ship to save herself? Now i wouldn't say Candice "lied" in this episode but she did make a bold move. she either sealed her fate or won a million dollars. We'll have to wait & see... Colby said "if this doesn't work out, its Candice's fault" she told Russell they were targeting him (and at the time they were) ultimately causing him to play his idol.. or as Parvati says "waste one" .. she turned on the heroes, but unknowingly lied to the villains? you don't lie to Russell Hantz.. well unless you have a nice little gold bikini to back it up.. and Candice is wearing black... fitting for a funeral, fitting for an ouster at tribal council??
**Sandra, i LOVE her. i do. she's so whitty & feisty, i'm just bummed Courtney isn't there with her to be her wing man. those two can slice someone in half with their tongue. i love it. "even for Coach, who i don't care too much for, but we'll throw him in there too" i love her personality. Personality wise, she's definitely one of the more interesting cast members to ever appear on the show. I touched on her earlier. She's the kind that will kill you with a smile on her face. She definitely has the potential to be dangerous. She's great at bluffing. She doesn't care what she says or who she says it too & i love that about her, but ultimately she's a let down. I was so nervous tonight, i actually thought she was gonna go thru with her vote for Parvati, i did. I don't think I've ever been this nervous before. She even bluffed me! but ultimately, she's just a let down. she's a coat tail rider & as much as she wants to say she's doing her own thing, as many strategies as she comes up with, she doesn't follow thru. she's a follower. The difference in her & Amanda, she doesn't get headaches & suddenly doesn't know what to do. She doesn't get droopy eyes and and take a deep sigh & grab her head, she lies to your face & she's believable.
**Russell & Parvati. Parvati, this girl is the devil. She's who Sandra wants to be. She's who Amanda wants to be. She's not just a great strategist. She follows thru with her strategy that combined with her being her, is a deadly combination. She doesn't just wrap weak minds around her finger, she wraps everyone around her finger. She's been the target since day one. & she's still around. She sticks around week after week because she is that awesome. As much as Sandra hates her & Russell she never strays from them. Russell is an asshole. Everyone knows it, Sandra hates him. She's said it from the beginning. Russell even says at tribal council "she's just there" She stands up to him & says "don't threaten me, i'm not intimidated by you" Russell is saying "you're a weak mind, you suck, & despite what you think or what you want to do, if its not what myself & Parvati think or what me & Parvati want to do, you're not going to do it" and she can get bitchy & pissy all she wants & call him an "ass" and a "liar" and bag on him til the sun comes up, but its the truth. She's scared to death of Parvati & Russell. She won't turn on them. If she didn't flip tonight, she's not going to. Russell playing his idol, i loved it. It wasn't a very smart move, but i loved that everyone thought Danielle had it & he did. I loved that he didn't share it with Parvati & Danielle. & i loved that he mistakenly played it because it left room for her to heckle him over it. She was so nervous, it was written all over her face. Her stomach dropped & her heart stopped, but as soon as the votes were revealed, she put that smile back on her face & shook her head, rolled her eyes & said "you wasted one".. she knows all she has to do is flip her hair & he's back in her good graces so she's able to say stuff like that to him. This girl is a strategist. this girl is fearless. this girl deserves to win Survivor Heroes vs Villains... with it shaping up to be a final 3 i'm not so sure she will, but she definitely deserves to.
**Now Amanda.... or as i like to call her "droopy"
admit it, they look just alike. you can't deny it... I loved the comparison to Boston Rob. I think thats a pretty fair comparison. She's a strategist, but she doesn't have what it takes to pull it off. Both got lucky in the past & both get far more credit than both of them combined deserve. I would say thats a pretty fair comparison.
anyway, during her little speech after she was voted out she said "i shouldn't have gave Danielle that idol. i made a mistake" no Amanda, that wasn't your downfall. I've put together the mistakes that led to Amanda's.. and the heroes as a result of her.. downfall.
1.)voting out Sugar instead of Stephanie... like she wanted to, but she was convinced otherwise.
2.)sticking up for James after he's an asshole.. this is an individual game, you AND james can't win. defend your alliance, stick up for your alliance, but you were a target at the first tribal council, you're already on the chopping block, try to save them, yes, but don't jump in front of the bullet.
3.)Aligning with Cirie, jumping to Tom, then back to Cirie... stick with your OWN plan, don't change because someone tells you too.
4.)voting out Tom instead of James. James is your friend, but he's weak. you have the numbers regardless, vote out the weak.5.)VOTING OUT JAMES! if you're gonna stick your neck on the line and vote out a weak person just to vote out your friend the following day.. its pointless! you don't vote out the strongest guy only to turn around and vote him out the next day! you wouldn't have lost to begin with if it wasn't for him! If he's your friend, if you're gonna vote out the strong to keep him, you better stick with it & keep him til the end!
6.)sitting back & letting JT give his idol away. you said it was a shitty idea, why let him go through with it? you bought it hook line & sinker when he said "this is a tribal immunity idol" well you're a part of that tribe, don't let him give it away!
7.)Parvati.. you had the upper hand. your alliance had the upper hand. no one suddenly gets a headache or drops their mouth open & lets their eyes sag like that. even when someone does get a headache they don't grab their head and say "oh i don't know" you're too animated! ... kinda like Droopy.. you blew it! you had the opportunity to have the upper hand & sail to the end again.. your alliance is Rupert for crying out loud, you could have actually beat someone in the final! you could have finally won one! you blew it.
8.)not only did you cave in to Danielle & give it back to her. you ran over there and is like "hrmm whats this" dear Captain Obvious, BE SNEAKY ABOUT IT!
so glad she's gone. she deserves to be voted out. soooo glad this day has finally come!! Now if we can get Rupert out next week all will be swell...
Speaking of next week... Sandra can't be trusted by the villains, she lied to the heroes... Candice can't be trusted by the heroes and she lied to the villains... the previews show Russell's ego getting in the way threatening every one of his villains... Russell, Russell Russell, you made the decision to align with Parvati, your reasoning was because you've seen her play. you know she's dangerous, now you're pissed that she's everything you thought she'd be? check yourself, you might be leaving this game a lot sooner than you'd think. Telling Jerri she will be next to go if she changes her vote? I personally think Jerri will win this season.. but who do you think will be the next to go?
Sandra, Candice, Russell???
my prediction is one of those three... whats yours?
