Alright, it’s week 3 and the Heroes need to recover from last week’s dismal performance. In this episode Tom called James a bully, Rob admitted that he doesn’t trust Russell, and Coach let us know that he thinks Parvati is the most dangerous player in the game.
The Immunity / Reward Challenge this week was very physical; it was exciting to watch! The match up between Coach and Rupert really stood out to me. When Rupert was knocked off the platform into the mud, Coach was really into his celebration. When he found out that it didn’t count, he gave Jeff Probst the finger. Hey man, the rules are the rules; don’t take it out on the host! It was awesome that Rupert came back and knocked Coach into the slop. Oh yeah!!
How ‘bout that Russell? Are you kidding me? He hid the machete? That’s so insane. I guess if you want to stir up your team, the best way to do it would be to hide something that the team really relies on. But, doesn’t he realize that he’s hurting himself too? If the team doesn’t have fire – YOU don’t have fire! Whatever. When he hinted that he might hide that Red Sox hat from Rob, I laughed out loud. I want to see that. I think that would really rile up Rob and get his head out of the game. Russell may not be the most trust worthy survivor, but I can’t wait to see what he does next.
It was interesting to hear Coach tell Parvati that flirting has never controlled him, hmmm. We’ll see about that now that he has a little thing for Jerri. When the Villains were at Tribal Council, the Jeff asked who some of the leaders on the team were. Coach smiled after the question was asked. The he got really defensive about what he contributes to the team. I think that he was upset that he wasn’t considered a leader. It really got to him. We saw some of his reaction to it in the previews for next week. It’s still early in the game man; let your actions speak for themselves.
Now that the Villains have gone to Tribal Council, we see their lack of cohesion. They aren’t as solid as their first 2 challenge wins would lead us to believe. Both teams have their problems and will need to set them aside to work together on the challenges. That’s the name of the game. Success at challenge can really boost you team’s morale. Until next week, “Randy, the tribe has spoken.”
