Survivor Fans vs Favorites - "But Can You Trust Them"

So for this episode we have previews that lead us to believe that James will no longer be the dumbest Survivor in history. Someone will do something that is even more bonehead than James not playing one of his two immunity idols last time around. Will it be Jason, Ozzy maybe one of the girls, who knows. You will once the show is over.

The show begins with the fallout from Eliza's surprise elimination. The girls can't believe how smug she was thinking she had the idol, but in fact it was just a stick. I for one enoyed that episode because I never liked Eliza...she was a sneaky snake.

The dawn of the next day brings us quickly to the reward challenge. Wow, no wasted filler here. For the reward of getting to go to the most civilized place on Micronesia, the Survivors have to work their way thru a net obstacle out in the water to a platform. On the platform is a set of picture tiles. They must memorize them and swim back and arrange another set of tiles on another board in the same order. First team to get it right wins reward. Oh yeah, forgot to tell you this is a team challenge. Two teams of 4, and since there are 9 people, one person will not play and will got to Exile. A school yard pick is how the teams are choosen and to my delight, Cirie goes to Exile....woohoo. In case you can't tell, I don't like Cirie....never have. Wonder how she became a favorite. I at this point, hope it rains like hell while she is at Exile.

So the challenge moves along with everyone taking there turn at swimming out and studying the pattern and trying to recreate it. Team Ozzie (which consists of Ozzie, Eric, Jason and Amanda) are the victors. And off they go on a plane ride to the remote little town of Yap where they are met by some villagers and are treated to a feast. Eric embraces the experience and takes it all in trying everything. Good to see someone really enjoy this. Tis a shame he enoyed it a bit too much and ended up sick that night.

We get to see Cirie miserable on Exile what with the downpour of rain and the loudest thunder she has ever heard.....yyyyaaaayyyyy!!!!!! She is not able to keep the fire lit so therefor I am sure she has nothing to eat.....woohoo!!! Can you tell that I don't like her...no, not yet....just wait.

The next day is immunity challenge time and we see it is basically a recycled challenge from some Survivor before. They will be standing on a stump with one arm above them. That arm is chained to a rope and the rope goes up to a big barrell which contains water in it. Object of the game, don't move your arm. If you do and the barrell tips over and the water comes out, your out. You just know the temptations will be coming out before long. First one is gummy candies and this one is enough for Cirie and Eric to decide to split. Stupid Stupid Stupid....if you are gonna give up immunity, do it for more than gummy candy ***rolls eyes***

Natalie is out next with no temptation in site. She apparently lost her concentration and fell off the stump.

Jeff comes out with the next temptation and before he can even say what it is, Alexis pulls her chain only to find out she did not get the choc chip cookies and milk. Again stupid stupid stupid.....is immunity really worth so little. Bring on the hamburger, pizza or beer please.

James is the next out all due to lack of concentration. No temptation or anything. Come on guys, you know you have to be still for this challenge. Any little movement and your out.

Next temptation is 3 chocolate covered donuts and Ozzie wastes no time in yanking his chain and getting soaked. I still think this is not enough to drop out for. At this point Ozzie seems a little too comfortable.

Amanda drops out because she has to go to the bathroom....lol. We see her take off for parts unknown in the jungle to relieve herself. And at this point we are left with Jason and Parvati....yuck, puke, yuck. After, oh I don't know 6 hours, Jeff comes out with a tray of an assortment of stuff......donuts, chocolate bars, pizza, milk, beer and who knows what else. He says whomever gets down will get to share it with the others but not the winner of immunity. Parvati tries to get Jason to step down as do the others who have been eliminated. They go so far as to tell Jason they will not vote him out. Every one of them tell him this, but alas we see some crossed fingers. Jiffy is surprised that Jason is stupid enough to fall for this. He even asks Jason, "but can you trust them". So after a little bit, Jason takes the bait and pulls his chain. What a bonehead move.....or is it.

Later, back at camp it looks to be a sure thing that everyone is going back on their word to Jason and will be voting him out. That is until Cirie (bitch) hatches this plan to oust Ozzie. Oh how I hate Cirie. She manages to pull Jason, Alexis and Natalie over and convince them to vote out Ozzie. All they need is a 5th and guess who comes along. Parvati. Cirie tells Parvati what they plan to do. My hope at this time is that Parvati will grow a brain and not turn on Ozzie. Ozzie, James, Eric and Amanda are still planning to vote out Jason and they think Parvati is with them. James seems to be the only one of the group that is really on to Parvati and this "girl power" trip she is on.

At tribal council it is apparent it is Jason that is going, but then you see this cryptic little smile on that bitches face, so I know right then that Parvati is the swing vote. Which alliance will she stay loyal too. The one that got her this far or the one that will get her no where. Votes are cast and Jiffy is asking for the immunity idol. It is at this point in the show I am no longer sitting down. I am pacing the floor and I keep repeating "play the idol Ozzie", "play the idol"...."play the idol Ozzie", "play the idol".......he doesn't. So the votes are cast and it comes down to a 4 to 4 tie. The moment of truth....Did Parvati betray Ozzie......yes the other bitch did. And it is at this time that Ozzie is unfortunately inducted in to the Bonehead Decisions Hall of Shame, along with James.

I am at this point almost in tears as I watch Ozzie's torch being snuffed out. I love it when Ozzie makes one last look at the Survivors as if to say, you got me now but I will have the last word.

I loved Ozzie's good-bye confessional. He tells the camera that those that turned on him he does not like, or did he say hates. And f'them. Way to say what you think Ozzie.

I am really bummed at this point, because I was rooting for Ozzie and James all the way. Now I am down to my hometown dude, James. But he has to step it up and win some immunities or he will be out next week. If this comes down to a chick flick, I think I will puke. I hope somehow James is able to get Cirie and then Parvati out.....in that order. I want Cirie out next.......She kicked out the one of the two pieces of eye candy on the show....time for her to it the road.

Until next week........
