atleast she didn't make fun of her dead dad...

Now i haven't blogged about Nicaragua this season just because i've been kinda busy. not that i don't find the show interesting.. because i do! its one of the best seasons.. i just haven't blogged but after the hype surrounding last nights episode being built up to be an "epic fight" and turning out as an "epic letdown" i thought i'd share my opinions on this one...

"Survivor fans! Ep 3 tonight. Don't miss one of the meanest things I've seen on our show" -- Jeff Probst tweet.

before i get into it tho i wanna touch on Shannon from last week since i didn't blog. shut the hell up! i've read article and article and fan opinions out the wazoo how he's a close minded idiot & a sexist. No, he's not. He's a reality show contestant and a damn good one at that! He didn't bash gays. Didn't say anything negative about gays. & to say NYC has more gays than Louisiana.. anyone who has been to both places would definitely agree with that statement. Get over it.

Now to Na Onka.. aside from Jimmy T & Marty's jealousy of Jimmy J & Jill's pure ignorance there's nothing really else to discuss about this episode so I'll spare you the rest of the details.. if you missed it go to www.cbs.com and catch up..

If i wanted to watch people sing Kumbaya and hear people talk about the weather i'd go re-watch Marquesas (but that probably wouldn't be such a bad idea.. maybe i'd get a feel as to why people think Boston Rob is so great.. i still haven't seen it after 3 seasons).. I don't tune in to watch these women on Survivor braid their hair (although that bathing scene with Jenna, Heidi & Shawna in Season 6 wasn't that disappointing) I wanna see people come to play and speak their mind. I wanna see people go from a target on day one to a finalist on day 39! whether or not they actually win, i don't give a shit (as long as it isn't a wasted win like seasons 19&20) There are three types of villains in this game. A mean villain (Corinne & Randy..) A funny villain (Courtney & Tyson..) A strategic villain (Parvati & Russell) I think Na Onka is a mix of all three. She's funny as shit! HILARIOUS! She's meaner 'n a rattlesnake! & She's strategic. Lets not get carried away and forget it was her who got Shannon out. It was her who pulled in Brenda. She made herself a part of that alliance. Sash wasn't gonna do shit to put his plan into action so she took it upon herself and now she's in a 5 person alliance. I think people consider her to be such a bitch because her target is a handicap girl.

This episode was built up to be this "epic battle" "one for the history books" "the meanest thing"... I would say Parvati using both idols & neither on her. I'd say Russell finding 3726345322 idols & convincing a former winner who obviously knows the game to give his up.. those are for the history books. I'd say lying about your grandma is a contender for the meanest thing, oh or i don't know how about telling someone to take a bottle of anti depressants because you're sick of hearing them talk about their dead father, thats pretty mean. I don't think this episode had any of that. This episode had a villain do what she could to get a hidden immunity idol clue & it just so happened the girl she got it from has an artificial leg. This is Survivor not a charity case! I think people are forgetting that.

Kelly B knew coming into survivor she only had one leg. Casting knew that when they put her on the show. It was said on day one TO HER FACE from Tyrone that no, he would not take pity on her or treat her any differently. He was there to win and quite frankly if anyone else isn't they should have never been cast in the first place. A clue to an immunity idol could be the difference in going home and winning it all. I don't care if you have one leg or 14 legs if you try to stand in my way i'll knock your ass down too to get it!

I'm Team Na Onka all the way!! I love a good villain but to act like she's mouthier than Sandra or wittier than Courtney & Tyson, meaner than Fairplay or Corinne.. you're bat shit crazy and need to go brush up on your Survivor history. She's a villain, yes. She's playing a game for a million dollars with people she's known less than 2 weeks. She's not gonna (and neither would i) buckle down and say "oh poor thing, you got one leg, here's you a million dollar check" & that my friends, is high quality entertainment that i like to tune in for & thats why Survivor is the longest running reality show on TV today.



*now to touch on Boston Rob.. i think he's horrible. he was a pre jury boot in Marquesas which is the ONLY reason he lasted as long as he did in All Stars (all the best were out early) he got eaten alive in Heroes vs Villains (because he has no strategy! he outwitted Shii Ann, Alicia & Big Tom WOOPITY DOO!) i hear a rumor he'll be on the next season.. i'm taking bids now on how long he'll last.. whataya'll think?

Battle of the Ages

So in T minus 2 hours is the Survivor Nicaraugua premiere and although I'm a little late this year I typically like to judge the castaways and pick a favorite prior to the show beginning... 9 times outta 10 my opinion changes 4723762651 times before the finale.. but hey, its my opinion and this is my blog so i'm allowed to do that. So sit back and enjoy.. my (early/pre show) favorites, my predictions for a first out.. and winner..

So after reading a few bios, watching a few videos & the TV Guide preview I'm definitely rooting for the younger tribe (La Flor) mainly just because this older cast looks like a hot mess. I'm looking for a Palau repeat this season. I just don't see these older guys (espada) being able to pull out a win. Some of them seem pretty interesting. Jane, Jimmy J, Yve & Dan are definitely stand outs to me based on whats available on CBS.com Marty, Jimmy T, Wendy & Tyrone are gonna get on my nerves. I predict all four of them to be early boots. -- but more on that later --- Then there's Holly Hoffman. Holly seems like she'll be a bit blah. I've talked to her briefly and she seems pretty entertaining in her everyday life.. and she loves Teddy Grahams but she's the wife of a red state politician so I predict her laying kinda low and not really putting any kind of negative attention him.. after all this is just a television show and she'll have a life afterward and we know how those wealthy red staters can be... Jimmy Johnson will be fun to watch. Mainly just to see him try and survive without a comb. He states its gonna be difficult without the neccessities in everyday life.. like beer. I wish Sandy from Tocantins would have been on this cast. Very few older contestants in the past i've liked (Sandy .. and Jan from Thailand being about the extent of it) but this cast is full of them.. throw those two in this mix and I woulda been in reality show heaven.

Now to the younger tribe. Now normally i'm not a fan of recruits. I think they are boring. & it happens all the time on reality shows, that other CBS show with the houseguests.. is the worst... just because they're your friend and they ask to be on a show doesn't mean you should always say yes! you listening casting directors!? YOUR FRIENDS ARE BORING!.. but thats not always the case with Survivor.. I wish I was friends with Jaime or Boo. From the Amazing Race to Survivor both have had their friends on the show.. and this year is no different. Both Shannon & Chase are friends of the two! Both of which have pretty interesting bios. I like them both. We'll see how they do. Jeff Probst praised Chase and said he was his favorite. He seems like a pretty cool guy. I mean he's friends with Jaime.. who was pretty hilarious in China.. He's also close with Mika & Canaan from TAR15.. that water slide moment was pretty fun to watch... so maybe just maybe.. fun & entertaining people who bring us water cooler moments hang out with other fun & entertaining people who will also bring us water cooler moments. Not to mention he's on the younger, more atheletic tribe & he seems to be a nice tough guy who will fit in pretty well with othe guys & the ladies.. I think he'll go far. "Benry" is a club promoter from LA & Jeff describes him as a male version of Parvati... i'm not sure if that means he's gay or what? but he did used to date Heidi Montag's sister so he's definitely gonna be a big ol' bag of douche.. but when it comes to reality tv a big ol' bag of douche never hurt anyone.. especially a viewer at home like myself! I'll be rooting for him as well. Kelly S. says being homecoming queen & captain of the cheerleading squad will help her out on Survivor... I think what she means is it will help her get voted out on Survivor. She's going to get on my nerves. The young girl this season that captures my heart is Brenda.

She's a business owner, she seems strong, & she looks good in a bikini.. Now i don't think there's any skills you can apply to owning your own business to helping you succeed in the wild but she's independent. Men love a good independent woman. Especially if she's good looking. She doesn't appear to be weak or stupid. She looks great in a bikini.. she'll fit in just fine. She'll go far.

for the complete cast go to http://www.cbs.com/ or tune in tonight at 8 est.

Now for my predictions..

If the Espada tribe loses first (which i think they will) Jimmy Johnson has fame. He has money. He's one of the oldest people on the tribe so I don't expect him to make it far in this game... but the obvious choice is never the first boot. I think he's safe. Holly, like i said, she seems bland. If she was on the younger tribe she should be worried, but she's with the old bags so she'll do fine.. plus i read an interview where she said she plans on watching one episode at home and one with each of her kids in 3 different cities.. why would you want to gather the family to watch an episode you aren't on.. i predict she's the last standing of the old... which means early juror. I think Jimmy T & Wendy are first on the chopping block if they go to tribal tonight.

If La Flor is the ones at tribal I think its obvious to say Kelly B is safe. Noone is gonna get rid of the chick with one leg right off the bat. Its just morally wrong. She'll be fine. Sash is walking that thin line between annoying & entertaining.. for a viewer like me he'll be entertaining.. for a tribemate i think he'll be annoying. Alina commented that she'll flirt her way to the end.. with a woman like Brenda & a bimbo like Kelly S.. ones the girl you take home to mom, ones the girl you take to the backseat.. i can assure you noone will be looking at you, Alina. Then there's NaOnka. i won't like her. Black women on Survivor annoy the shit outta me. I swear I'm not racist but they just fit their stereotype. I can't help it. They're either ghetto/diva/or both.. and i think NaOnka will be both. I predict Alina, NaOnka or or Sash to be the first to go.

My predictions for a winner:

As i touched on.. i see Holly making the jury. She'll finish at a forgettable 9th or somewhere around there. I predict Yve & Jill finishing somewhere close by. Kelly B, Jud & Shannon will rank mid jury as well. I see Brenda, Chase & Benry making it to the end this season..

your thoughts?

"Who brought Boston Rob back to the party?" Survivor Heroes vs Villains ep 13

seriously! Rupert is so disgusting! the most disgusting person EVER! he's so nasty. i can't even stand to look at him! i can't stand his excessive sweating, his nappy hair, his scraggly beard, his gross yellow teeth, his grunting, whining, complaining, and then kissing his wife like that, algheoahyahbheahyoyae<--- thats my disgust. now everyone needs a little love, but when you look like Rupert, keep it behind closed doors. nobody wants to see that. i'm seriously SOOOOO glad she's gone.

"Parvati saved herself 100% today"... really Rupert? are you serious! THATS what immunity means? well golly day! who woulda thunk it??? My God i can't stand him!! he's just so disgusting to look at it. its not that i don't like his strategy, or he's someone i love to hate, or someone whose slightly annoying.. he's just stupid. i hate this guy and i don't even know him personally! he's so monotone. so boring, so .. ughhh i can't even think of enough horrible words to do my feelings justice. i'm jumping up down with excitement that he's gone!!! ... but now to the blog.




First, what was up with the recap before the episode started? Saying Sandra made an alliance with Rupert and showing her say "you want Russell gone! Russell is gone".. ummm, i could understand that recap IF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!! But it didn't! Sandra voted for Rupert to go home!! What was that? i'm thinking Sandra will win because editing is doing an awfully good job to make it look like she's done something... when in all reality she hasn't done a damn thing. She sure talks a big game, but she doesn't follow thru on shit. However, as i've said, i love her feisty attitude & her sarcastic remarks.. i wouldn't be disappointed if she won. she doesn't deserve it, but i wouldn't be disappointed if it happened.

Colby - who??? ooohhh, that guy in the cowboy hat that makes an appearance every episode. yeah he's about as much of a key player as the old man with the coconuts at the blow holes.

Parvati - everything i feel about Rupert, i feel the just as opposite just as strongly about her. she's rude & devious and mouthy, she's everything sandra is and more. and by more i mean she has a strategy to go along with her attitude and she looks good in a bikini. all of that is a deadly combination. no one can deny Parvati deserves to win this season. Parvati deserves it more than anyone. and love her or hate her you can't deny it. you can try to act like she doesn't because you hate me and you know i love her so out of spite you can run your mouth, but lets be honest here, you're just making yourself look like a jackass. No one holds a candle to Parvati Shallow. She's proven week after week from day one that she deserves this. She's been in the minority since day one. she's won immunity after immunity & flashed smile after smile to get her to this point.



Russell - Russell is a one of a kind. Russell is an AMAZING player in this game. you can cry and say Russell doesn't have a social game. my response is go get a dictionary and look up the definition of being social. Russell is a liar. Russell is a villain. Nobody likes Russell, Nobody trusts Russell, yet week after week Russell says "you know what! we should team up!?!" and week after week someone says "you know what, Russell! that is a GREAT idea! lets do it!" then he slits their throat.. then the following week, it happens again. if you fall for what he tells you again after you just saw the person voted out last do the same exact thing, then you deserve to be voted out. Russell plays a GREAT social game. he ropes in everyone and gets them to do what he wants. & he votes them out. lying to them and voting them out doesn't mean he doesn't have a social game. it means he's gonna have a tough time convincing them to vote for him, and Russell is a cocky little shit & he wants credit where credit is due and no one likes to hear "i told you so" just because he asks for the credit he deserves doesn't mean he's not a social player. Russell is one of the best social players this game has ever seen if not THE best. tell me, this is my question for the week, tell me please out of 20 seasons of Survivor, over 300 castaways, when has someone went from the minority and said "look, lets make a deal" and have someone fall for it week after week. Exactly.

Jerri. i love Jerri. - not as much as Parvati & Russell - but i love her. I hope she wins... and now i say that because i know Parvati & Russell don't stand a chance. Lets compare, shall we...

It will definitely be Sandra or Jerri... Colby is next out. they aren't dumb enough to take a hero to the end. Parvati & Russell will make it to the end because no one else has a physical or strategical bone in their body... so its who they take with them that will win it all.. okay, NOW to the comparing -

We got Sandra & Jerri.. both really useless in this game. both of which are what you'd call a coat tail rider or a floater.
Sandra is mouthy, HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY entertaining, fun to watch, hilarious.... but lets not let that overshadow the fact she's useless. she's like a dot on the map. she's a waste basically. Yeah, she found an immunity idol. big deal. she didn't win one... had she actually won one of them, then i'd say woohoo you go. but i'll never mutter those words referencing Sandra, so don't hold your breath.
Jerri, now i give her credit. she performs well in challenges, not amazing, but pretty decent. she flipped on Rob. Hasn't been afraid to stand up and speak her mind to Russell. She found an alliance that worked and she made herself a part of it and is riding it to the end. Granted she's dependent on someone else, but atleast she's taking the initiative to make herself a part of the alliance. she's needed in her alliance. she's not a tag along, she's a part of it.

Jerri's strategy trumps Sandra's humor in my eyes when a million dollars is on the line. So between the two, Jerri is far more deserving. Neither of the two are more deserving than Parvati & Russell, but like i said, sadly, neither of them will win.. & with the finale just around the corner, i focus on the two of them.

Will Russell believe her can beat Sandra because she hasn't done anything and she's a past winner?? or will he take Jerri because ultimately he controlled every power move she made and everything she gets credit for, he gets credit for?.. ..

Coach, Amanda, Danielle will vote for - Parvati
JT will vote for - Russell
Everyone else with either vote for Jerri or Sandra, whichever one makes it to the final 3

thats my predictions.



Who do you think will win? Who do you want to win? Who do you think deserves to win?

"the second coming of christ" Survivor Heroes vs Villains ep 12

i've never been so excited & disappointed all at the same time! tonights episode of Survivor was probably the greatest this season!!

lets start with Rupert ... mainly because i just want to hurry & get him out of the way so i don't have to mention him anymore. he's so gross. everyone has been pouting Russell has an unfair advantage this season, i say Rupert is the one with the unfair advantage. The guy clearly doesn't shower or brush his teeth or shave on a daily basis.. hows this fair?? he probably feels right at home! he's disgusting! well actually disgusting is an understatement but i can't think of any other words that come close to describing how i feel about him so that will have to do. i loathe him. he's so monotone & gross. boring as all get out... however, he did pull of a pretty slick move tonight & i gotta give credit where credit is due. Its amazing how people up their game play when they feel they're on chopping block. I've been a fan of this show since episode one! i was reeled in 10 years ago & watching Stacey Stillman eat a larvae bug sealed the deal. I've been hooked ever since. You have to play from day one all the way to day 39 like you're going home. Had Rupert played as good of a game as he did tonight from the beginning the heroes would have had the upper hand. When he polished that rock & stuck it in his pocket i was like you have to be kidding me. this guy is an idiot. no one is gonna believe him. he can't pull it off. he's a retard. he'll pull it out of his pocket & blow it.. but he didn't... and Russell fell for it.... lets rewind a little bit and go back to the challenge first...

I'm not surprised Sandra dropped down. She's a loser. she didn't jump down for food, she jumped down because she was tired & weak & ready to drop out, i don't believe for a second she stepped down for any reason other than she was weak... however like i mentioned last week, Sandra isn't a complete idiot... lazy & weak, yes. stupid? no. ... she bluffed it & stepped down at a convenient time. I wasn't very shocked to see Russell step down either, he's a cocky little shit & felt like he was okay, and he was, its when Colby then Danielle, Candice & Jerri all stepped down at once & left Parvati alone with Rupert! SERIOUSLY!! what the hell is going on?? You're not gonna die of starvation! you didn't come to Survivor to win a bowl of candy! you came to win a million dollars!! you NEVER step down from a challenge for food! thats ridiculous! are you kidding me right now!?!? luckily it was Rupert she was up against so it wasn't that difficult to pull out a victory, but still. insane.

Her unwillingness to give up in the immunity challenge. Stepping up to Russell, confronting Danielle, calling out Russell both in camp & at tribal in front of the jury.. great move, great move.. is why Parvati deserves to win this game. I love Parvati. I don't talk about her much in her own little section like i break down most other castaways in my blog, but thats because she's too great for it. she plays minor roles in everything that goes on in every episode. whether it be a simple flirt or a huge move, she does little small things here and there that ultimately contribute to every bold play each episode.. and this episode was no different.

Sandra, now i have to say i was proud of Sandra this episode.. now i'm not sure if its because she did anything great or just the fact that she didn't do anything great after she said she would.. I've been so tired week after week of Sandra acting like she's all great & then never actually following thru. This week she didn't come out guns blazing, she didn't say she would do this and do that, she just sat back with her whitty comments & eavesdropped (i loved her in the background while Parvati & Danielle were talking) she was the Sandra that I love & didn't do anything to make her annoying. Because lets face it, she's not that great. she's all talk. She's weak as shit, even she was shocked as hell she found the idol.. i loved her reaction when she did find it tho. She's great. Will she ever use it? i'm not sure. It didn't show any kind of teaser in a preview clip.. I personally wouldn't be surprised if she didn't. She's not strategic enough to figure out a good time to play it or how to go about doing it, but regardless if she plays it or not, she found it. so kudos to you Sandra. .. i have more to talk about Sandra in a minute i'm not done with her quite yet.

Jerri. Jerri is really stepping her game up. I like her. I think she'll win & although she's not my first pick as to who i want to take it home, i wouldn't be disappointed if she did. I loved how she stepped up to Russell & demanded they get rid of Candice. I loved how she stepped up to Russell & told him she would not vote for Danielle. I love how she called Danielle out on her BS at tribal saying the game has been crazy from the beginning. i love that she's starting to speak up.... even though we're starting to see her do more of her own thing & speak her mind, its down to the final 6... its a little too late. She'll be known as Russell's sidekick this season.. but hey, I'd rather be known as Russell's sidekick than Russell's puppet, so kudos to her too.

Candice has been nothing but a let down for me since merge. she was in the PERFECT position. PERFECT! she could have won this season.. she blew it. i'm over her. glad she's gone. She said "Karma's a bitch".. no Candice, karma isn't a bitch. the move you made was brilliant! switching sides was BRILLIANT! like Russell said the greatest move you had made this whole season.. its how you went about it that was your achilles heel. you blew it. no other words to describe it. epic fail.

Danielle I agree with Danielle's statement she made after she was voted out in her confessional. I don't think Russell would have targeted her. As i've said from day one Russell is controlling the game, Parvati is controlling Russell.. & it wasn't until tonight that Russell realized it. He said it himself, him & Parvati are on an equal playing field & that drives him crazy... but as much as he wants to be in control, ultimately Parvati has him by the balls. Danielle saying she's much closer to Parvati than he thinks did her in. Russell looking to Jerri and mouthing "Danielle" just further proves it. If Danielle was the one to go, Jerri wouldn't have needed reassurance. Danielle sealed her fate. sucks for her...

now back to Sandra...

Sandra is weak. now granted she didn't go running her mouth how she was something amazing tonight, but she's been preaching the gospel from day one how she can't stand Parvati, she can't stand Russell, she can't stand Danielle, she can't stand Jerri... tonight was her opportunity. she's been wanting to vote with Rupert, she's been wanting to vote with Colby, she wants the villains gone.. tonight was her opportunity. Another reason why i think Danielle wasn't the original target going into tribal. Had it been set in stone she would have went with it, she's aligned with the majority, remember?

Now, to King Russell.



Russell will not win this game. I've said it from day one. he deserves to win this game but he won't. What Russell wants, Russell gets. It doesn't matter if he's in the minority or not. He is a mastermind. he's a genius. he has a way of getting what he wants & nobody stops him. Now breaking up Parvati & Danielle... was it a smart move? OF COURSE IT WAS!! those two ARE closer with each other than with him... but similar to Candice, was how he did it so smart??? ehhh, in my opinion, not so much. But Russell wanted it done, and he got it done. Love him or hate him you have to give this man credit. He doesn't care what he says, who he says it too, when he says, where he says it, how he says it, he doesn't care because he knows at the end of the day, what he wants he gets. When in 20 seasons of Survivor has there ever been someone start in the minority yet manipulate the game the way he has? ... well aside from when he did it in Samoa? exactly. And before you get started on the idols... they are a part of the game! Russell knows the game! they have been a part of the game for a while now, really becoming in crucial in China, as i mentioned at the start of the blog, i've been a fan for a long time, several things are key to winning, one of those is adapting.... unfortunately for Russell, he has the ability to adapt to the game. he has the ability to survive the minority. he has the ability to create a strong alliance, he has the ability to call the shots, he has the ability to pull off never before seen game changing outstanding moves... he just doesn't have the ability to be humble. humility can get you far in life. throw a smile on your face, nod your head.. or in Parvati's case: bat your lashes, .. tip your hat & say "bless your heart" & it'll get you farther than you ever need to go in life. Thats one thing Russell doesn't possess, the ability to swallow his pride. Yes he is the greatest. Yes he has potential to win. Yes its outwit, outplay, outlast. Yes he outwits, outplays & outlasts week after week... but when it comes down to who do you give a million dollars to? the guy who cut my throat or the guy who kissed my ass??? ...

Russell, sometimes you gotta be careful whose toes you step on today because they may be attached the ass you have to kiss tomorrow.

-my predictions for next week... Sandra will stay with Parvati. Jerri will stay with Russell... Parvati will swing her whips, Russell will come crawling back & begging for forgiveness... Rupert, is a goner... and we'll see him coming to tribal council as a jury member, still as dirty as ever...

your thoughts?



ps. this will be my last Survivor blog... if you just have to have your fan fix check out myspace.com/poeticangst

"i'm swimming in YAY!" - Heroes vs Villains ep 11

now i know i ended last weeks blog with my prediction for this week.. and ultimately it happened, however it didn't go down exactly like i thought it would... or why. & i have to admit, this was the most nervous i had been at Tribal Council this whole season.

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?

"but Russell is a villain" Heroes vs Villains ep 10.

i loved the line from Jeff Probst in the recap "...but Russell is a villain".. yes he is, & he's a damn good one.

i think the question is whose in control? am i right? & its kinda difficult to tell. Russell is definitely running the show. what he says goes. There's a few who want to disagree with him and act all bad ass & try to get him out but lets face it, they can't. they can't outwit him. Russell is in charge. hate him or love him you can't deny that Russell is great. He sucks in challenges, he doesn't have the numbers, but he has strategy. Russell is in charge, he controls their way of thinking. The only person aside from him who has a mind of her own is Parvati & she's letting Russell think he's in control, so with that is the debate, whose running the show? Russell or Parvati? Sandra likes to think she's this wonderful person with these brilliant plans, but lets face it, Sandra's brilliant plans aren't all that brilliant. Sandra is worthless. She's like that shit stain in your toilet bowl. Its annoying as hell and its only there because you don't want to bother with it. It just lingers & hangs on tight to survive each flush... or in her case each tribal council, but how many flushes can she survive? We've seen amazing game play, amazing, never before done, never before thought of moves from Russell & Parvati this season, there's not a doubt in my mind those two will be in the final. I say that every week in my blogs because 1.) at the start of the show they were my favorites, i've seen their past game play & no one else's compares. & 2.) there's been a few times (w/ Randy, Tyson, Boston Rob, even tonight) i was on the edge of my seat thinking "OH NO! DON"T LET ME DOWN!!" & i'm not gonna lie i've been worried a time or two, but they always pull thru, why? because they are strategic geniuses!! but with Sandra the shit stain sitting on the fence & in a good position its very likely she'll make it to the end (or atleast until the final 5/4... thats when the game gets REALLY interesting! the wrong person winning an immunity screws everything up!) with the jury already started its panning out to be a final 3, if Sandra makes it to the end, will the jury award her, a shit stain & a hanger on & a complete waste of space who has done absolutely nothing & set out nearly every tribal immunity challenge, the money for no other reason than their hatred (and arguably jealousy..) of Russell & Parvati?? Only time will tell....

the merge! i love the merge, the merge never disappoints because just when you think you have things figured out (see the 1st half of my blog!) the merge throws a wrench in that scenario. There's always that one person who flops to save themselves.. Susie, Erinn, Shambo.. just to name a few in the past couple of seasons.. and it gets them a lot farther than what they would have gotten if they hadn't jumped shipped, but it never gets them to the end, it just helps the minority take control. We've already seen Sandra jump ship, but i dont think she's that swing vote for this time like in seasons past. it was a given she'd jump ship, she's a floater, a coat tail rider, thats what they do, i'd be shocked if she didn't. Now Amanda!.. amanda, amanda, amanda, i must say, i'm proud of you girl! smart girl! ol' Poopert & JT aren't exactly good people to go to for advice & now that she has other options it looks as if she's taking advantage of them! Kudos to you, but is it too late to make any power moves? i mean up until this point the girl has been... well basically the same as Sandra, only not only does she lack strategy, she even lacks personality, which makes her worse than a shit stain on your toilet.. she's more like a stain in your underwear. She's there to do nothing except ruin your day & force you to throw away your tighty whities... scratch that, everyone that wears tighty whities should just throw them away regardless. stain or not. she makes you throw away your boxer briefs, your favorite pair & its not so bad cause with a personality like hers she needs to be thrown out, she's kinda boring.... but in tonights episode, she appears to be latching on to the right set of coat tails. she's traded in Rupert & JT for someone smart... then she blows it! is it too late to regret it & try & fix it? we'll have to wait & see

Rupert as we know i hate him. & the dumbfounded look on his face when Jerri said "we're all villains" & his reaction... it just makes me dislike him even more. He's so stupid. stupid is an understatement. I'm done looking at him each week. "If Sandra is true, Russell is playing us. This is where the game gets crazy" NO YOU DUMBASS! the game gets crazy from day one! you don't let you guard down, you don't trust everyone, there's a million dollars on the line! jerri is right EVERYONE IS A VILLAIN! EVERYONE WANTS A MILLION DOLLARS!! i don't want to see him get voted out, i want to see him be held down & Jerri pluck every hair out of his body with a pair of tweezers! thats what i want to see! thats how much he annoys me! i really really can't fathom this guy! They don't get much dumber than ol' Rupert. Granted Rupert was the one who wanted Russell gone, but Rupert is the one who put them in this predicament. He's the one who said at the challenge "Ohhh looks like an all girls alliance!" even if you do think something! you don't voice it! you don't let the enemy know what you're thinking! because then they're gonna say, "Golly Day," (okay okay, maybe only JT will say 'GOLLY DAY') "they think they have it figured out! we should capitalize on this!" then thats what they do! then they end up getting an idol that they shouldn't have. So Rupert, its all your fault anyway! it deserves to blow up in your face!

Candice i'm kinda disappointed in Candice for quitting the challenge. I like Candice. She's proven she's a thinker, she's proven she's physically fit, she's proven she has what it takes. She's been outnumbered, now thats an individual game she has so much more to work with, she has so many more opportunities to advance & she drops out of the challenge... tsk tsk Candice, i'm disappointed.

JT now i want to like ol' JT, i do, but i just can't. he's too stupid. as a fan, i pick my favorites the same way i pick my friends in life,i root for the strong, i don't waste my time with the weak. "he's solid man, he's a good ol' country boy!" JT, i'm from the south too. so technically you can call me a country boy too... there's a difference in a country boy and a redneck. Country boys are nice... but Rednecks are stupid.. there's a difference in nice & stupid.. JT, you're a stupid redneck.

Colby, Colby is an underdog to me. He's one of those "ehhh so-so" players to me. He was on the outs & got lucky and managed to stick around, but he hasn't really done anything. he didn't do anything to stick around, he literally, like Sandra, just got lucky. thats it. But being in the shadows & the background is a good position to be in at the merge. (and in the game if you're aiming for a 4th place finish) .. need i say more, Brett?

Amanda i give Amanda credit for her little talk with Parvati. probably the smartest thing she's done all season. But again... its like the lights are on but no one's home. She said in her confessional Parvati is a threat, she wants her idol gone, but she wants Parvati to stay.. so, lemme get this straight? you're voting for someone that you secretly want to stay? how about you get a backbone and stand up for yourself! & her indecisiveness talking to Parvati just before tribal council... you convinced Parvati to admit she has an idol. Parvati put her trust in you, & you're blowing it! She FINALLY comes up with her own, she finally steps out and does something without the assistance of JT & Rupert, & she again blows it. She said in her confessional "Parvati is a threat, Idols are a threat, weed them out!" then she says again in the same sentence "i hope Parvati is safe" ... but Amanda's downfall... she lied & she got caught. This is where a backbone would have came in handy.

Parvati i love her. i do. i'm not even in the game and i'm mesmerized by her. I love that she doesn't care. She's not a follower, she's not a coat tail rider, she stands up for herself and she does whatever she wants because she knows she has the strategy to back it up if anyone wants to disagree with her & her fearlessness is what makes me love her.

Russell now i give Russell credit for a lot of things that have happened in this season, but this all girls alliance, its difficult, because granted he didn't think of it, he didn't even come up with it, but when he found out that the heroes mistakenly thought this, he jumped at the chance to take advantage of it and that makes him the greatest player. thats what makes him so great. he looks for these opportunities & he capitalizes on them. This is what separates him from all the others. He takes advantage of anything & everything. his eyes are peeled & he not only looks out for himself, but his alliance as well. His alliance doesn't even need a strategy, he has enough of one for all of them... unfortunately for him tho, his alliance, Parvati, DOES have a strategy of her own.. & i know he said at the end of tribal she had some explaining to do.. that translates to "you have some lashes you need to bat".. and thats what she'll do, and she'll get out of his cross hairs.

Sandra her attitude & her one liners kinda left me hanging tonight. she kinda fell flat for me. i dont like her trying to take charge. she's far more entertaining in the backseat.. as most women are, but i'm referring to a whole different thing... she doesn't have what it takes to pull it off. She says it herself, she aligns with the majority. she needs to just let the majority take control. She's useless without them & like she said tonight if she keeps opening her "big mouth" it will make her a target. right now she's in a good spot for the final 3, she shouldn't jeopardize that.

Danielle I loved Danielle in this episode. She was not only strategizing on the beach with her alliance, but she was watching for Sandra as well. She kept Sandra from confirming what she already thought. She stepped up to Parvati & refused to hand her immunity because she already has an idol. Danielle didn't seem to mind if Parvati lost her idol tonight and put herself in danger in the coming weeks, she wanted immunity tonight & she got it. However, not catering to Parvati may have won her an immunity necklace, but lets face it she wasn't in any kind of danger anyway, I love that she stood her ground but was it a good move for her in the future?

Jerri i like Jerri, but her problem is her inability to hide her feelings. She's someone i'd love to play poker with (if i played poker) because when she gets excited her face lights up like Christmas morning! when she's upset or bothered she looks like she just witnessed someone stomping a kitten.


So Amanda convinced Parvati to confide in her, again couldn't stay true to what she really felt, blew this great cover! The heroes could have had the upper hand, Amanda blew it for them! Amanda is the reason.. now personally I think the villains could have overcame the minority & finished this season strong anyway, however Amanda probably wouldn't have been on the chopping block so soon. Her inability to think for herself & stick with her true feelings has finally caught up with her. Now the previews for next week show Parvati & Russell's alliance crumbling.. Parvati has a nice body & a little gold bikini, Russell won't betray her. I think they're both safe, not to mention the previews have a history of being misleading. & Sandra "taking control" haha, yeah not gonna happen. The woman is so successful at this game because she relies on everyone else. Why would she step up now and start calling the shots? its not gonna happen. my predictions for next week is adios Amanda. don't double cross Parvati. she is the greatest female strategist to ever play this game and as i said, her little gold bikini controls the mind of the greatest male strategist to ever play this game.. double cross one, you double cross both & with Jerri & Danielle bowing at her feet.. Amanda is in big trouble.

Whats your predictions?

"xoxo, JT" - Survivor Heroes vs Villains Episode 9

Now before I get started on tonights blog i need to clear something up. last week i took some heat over Sandra "admitting" she's a coat tail rider. No, she has never came out and said "i ride coat tails" but she has said "i don't care who i'm aligned with as long as its the majority" She doesn't rely on a strategy or an immunity, she relies on everyone else's strategies & their immunities.. that to me is a coat tail rider.

Also, don't give me this crap about Russell Hantz having an unfair advantage. These are the best of the best, they aren't stupid. He is here out of over 400 survivors to play this game. he's one of the top 5 male villains of all time. They've seen everyone else play, and clearly something about him stood out to make him be brought back, that should be the red flag right there. He's been targeted since the beginning & been in the minority anyway & still stuck around, so would it really matter if they had seen his season? no. All the crying about Boston Rob, for Christ's sake people! he was a pre-merge boot in Marquesas! All the great players, Hatch, Tina, Ethan were booted early in All Stars, Rob wasn't a threat so he stuck around. He made it to the end against Alicia & Shii Ann & Amber & Big Tom... BIG DEAL! if you can't beat those guys you don't deserve to wake up in the morning! Boston Rob SUCKS! if he was a great strategist he would have looked for that idol. if he was a great strategist he would have voted Jerri's ass out instead of saying "its okay Jerri, do what you gotta do." & Hatch, Hatch played his season GREAT. but Richard Hatch won the very first season of Survivor. The very first before anyone ever, EVER got to see anyone play. Could he do it again 10 years later when all the competition knows what to expect? maybe, but not against the likes of Parvati & Russell. Parvati & Russell would eat him alive & then use his bones as their toothpicks. Love them or hate them you have to give them credit. They're not two of the most amazing, they ARE the two MOST amazing players to ever play this game. Hate them all you want, but you have to respect their strategy. There's no denying it.

Over the years there have been many, many dumb moments in Survivor history. I'm glad they showed the clip of Ian in Palau because I've always thought that was stupid. You're a shoe in for the finals, a possible win & you quit? you give up a shot at a million dollars for someone you've known a little over a month? THAT is the dumbest move in Survivor history. Screw giving away a necklace or being voted with an idol or even two idols in your pocket. You don't quit the game. EVER! Only one person has a justifiable reason for quitting this game & thats Jenna Morasca in All Stars. Osten, Janu, Sue, Fairplay, Kathy.. all quitters. All un-respectable players in this game, but atleast they quit for themselves. They weren't final 3, or even close to being there. You don't quit when you're at the finish line to give it to someone else. Ridiculous. Ian to me is the dumbest survivor to ever play this game. As far as JT's move goes.. yeah it was dumb. Now we've seen idol's exchange hands in the past, even Russell did it earlier this season. Jenna gave her necklace to Heidi, Sugar gave her idol to Matty, it worked for them, why? because they had a pre-existing relationship. they were in an alliance. Unless you trust them completely & you're positive you can benefit from the person staying in the game NEVER give away your idol. His reasoning is pure speculation. He doesn't know Russell, he doesn't know anything about him he's never played this season with him or even met him prior to this season.. Why would you put your neck on the line to save this guy? VERY dumb move, but i have to give it to him for taking a risk it paid off tonight, but if you think Russell will continue to stay loyal to JT you clearly haven't watched Russell play Survivor before.

Rupert the strongest out of everyone? seriously? the strongest out of all 11 playing? This guy is an idiot! Not even Amanda would believe that!! I seriously loathe that guy. (Amanda too) Its kinda bittersweet, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for them to get the boot, but if they did, would it be a smart move? would it be smart to get rid of someone so incredibly stupid? for the sake of my sanity i want them gone, but i could understand if others would prefer to keep them. i wish there would be another double elimination episode in hopes that both of them get voted out.

Jerri said it best the guys in this game have a big ego. Russell isn't a sexist, he has an ego. All guys have a desire to be the alpha male, he doesn't have to worry about that with his "all girls alliance" he put together. Even tho it was a small step, i'm glad she stepped up to Russell & said that the women should compete. She's everyting Amanda's not. She's everything Amanda should be. If you're gonna switch, stick with the switch, don't go running back the very next week. find a game plan & stick with it. Amanda is teamed up against Courtney in the challenge? Clearly she's been ranked as the weakest. We all know Amanda isn't the weakest. Rupert is the weakest, but its her inability to speak up, its her inability to voice her opinion & stand up for herself that puts her at the bottom of the totem pole. & because of that you can call her the weakest. It has nothing to do with her physical strength, she's weak & undeserving to be in this competition because she lacks a backbone... more on her later tho.


Jeff: "Parvati, are you the boss?" Parvati: "Of course"

Parvati now Amanda, JT, this is how its done! This is why you all suck & she's awesome. To all the people who ask me why i praise her & Russell so much, THIS IS WHY! this is Survivor! Only one person can win! your whole tribe can't win! you don't share shit with the whole tribe!! If you must share something with someone, share with the dumb one. share with the weak one, the easy to manipulate one, share with the ugly little sister who so desperately wants to be you, who so desperately wants to have your success, your fame, your looks.. .. share with the Danielle. & thats exactly what Parvati has done. & thats exactly why Parvati is a past winner & thats exactly why i think Parvati will win this season as well.

Amanda if you were to put this girl on an island BY herself. if you were to put 16 people individually by themselves, this girl would do fine. no doubt in my mind. she would do great. But she's too easily influenced by everyone around her. She always has these master plans in her confessionals but she never follows thru on them because she won't speak up. She takes the back seat to everyone. Luckily for her in the past, she's been aligned with the likes of Parvati, Cirie & (in my opinion the greatest strategist to ever play this game) Todd, so listening to everyone else wasn't such a bad idea, but this season she has JT & Rupert! Candice comes up to her, its just the two of them, they're discussing JT & his idol, Amanda just makes a weird face. She says nothing. She let them give Russell the hidden immunity idol & i'm sorry but when you sit back and do nothing, you're just as stupid. THE GIRL DESERVES TO GO HOME! stick up for yourself!! i hate her. she's so annoying. she's so stupid. Its so frustrating because she has the numbers! If they lose, she's safe. There's nothing for her to worry about & people like Colby & Candice are on the outs, so they have no other choice but to go along with everyone else. & i mean lets face it, JT is a retard! he's from Alabama for Pete's sake! that alone should be a red flag that you don't let the guy make any game changing decisions! & don't get me started on Rupert. Amanda isn't worth a dime to anyone. She should have been voted out instead of Sugar on day one.

Sandra i loved her this entire episode! from the first minute to the very last she was cracking jokes & making little snide comments. i love her. i really do... personally i love her. she's hilarious. she makes the show funny. i dont think she deserves to win & i don't respect her game play, however i do love her personality. Now at the start of the season if you had asked me if Sandra had a shot in hell at making it to the merge i would have said "sure" 2 weeks ago, i would have flopped and said "not a chance in hell" now that the numbers are all tied up & with a merge next week, she's on the outs of her tribe.. scheming with Rupert. JT's idol is gone, Parvati's got an idol in her possession, she's clearly not the target anymore, i'm gonna flop & put her back in my final 6.. hey, this is my blog, i'm allowed to be wishy washy.

What the hell was Coach wearing at tribal council? & what was that little stance he was sitting in when Courtney's torch was put out? That guy is as delusional as Rupert.

With Parvati AND Russell having idols, a merge, Sandra possibly flipping, JT realizing he's been duped, more options for Candice & Colby... its gonna be an interesting rest of the season... what are your predictions? -NO SPOILERS!
