This episode opened with Coach saying he was thinking of leaving. Apparently, he’s “working harder than anyone, man”. If he is, we’re not seeing it. I think he was upset over Sandra’s comments about him not being a leader. Now, Coach is a big boy, he’s played this game before – seriously, he was crying? Then he wants to bond with Boston Rob and do stuff together. What are they gonna do? Play basketball together?
I think that it’s cool that the survivors got to choose their own rewards from a Sears catalog for the Reward Challenge. The challenge was very exiting to watch. It came down to the last two survivors, to which my wife exclaimed, “It always comes down to the last point!” The Villains went on to win the challenge. Out of all the rewards they could have chosen, they picked the tool set (Where’d their machete go? Russell?) They also chose tarp as one of their rewards – didn’t they just get tarp, rope and nails a few weeks ago? With all of that equipment, they better have the best shelter in Survivor history!
2 Immunity Idols had been hidden, one at each camp. Tom found the idol on the Heroes side, and Russell really wants to find the idol on the Villains side. The rest of the Villain team agreed not to look for the idol, but Russell really has a burning desire to find it. It was funny when Rob said that Russell was like the Hobbit on crack – he kind is.
The Immunity Challenge was tough, and it came down to the wire, but the Villains prevailed. Unfortunately, one more Hero must leave. It was a good thing that Tom found the Immunity Idol, he and Colby are pretty much on the outs. At Tribal Council, Tom played the idol to avoid being sent home. Hopefully, he and Colby can forge another alliance to keep themselves in the game. Cirie was voted out at tribal in what Jeff labeled this season’s first blind side – and it was great. As the credits were rolling, we really wanted to hear what Cirie had to say, but the music was a little too loud. We couldn’t hear a thing – did you notice that too? “Cirie, the tribe as spoken”
