Last night, on Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains, Russell confronted Danielle and Parvati about the two idols played at tribal council to save Jerri and Sandra and get rid of JT. Russell is not a fan of not being in control of the game and he made sure to let the girls know that he was not happy with them. Suddenly, voting out JT may not have been a good idea was it, Russell? You're not calling the shots. That's what happens when you play with the big boys and girls.

 

At the reward challenge, the players were split into three teams of three to play a game of shuffleboard. Riveting. The teams were: Jerri, Parvati, Candice; Rupert, Sandra, Russell; and Amanda, Danielle, and Colby. Colby won it for his team and acted like he just pulled off some herculean effort worthy of accolades and praise. You slid a disk down a game board, dude. Relax.

 

For their prize, Colby, Amanda, and Danielle take a trip to Robert Louis Stevenson's home where they can snack on popcorn while watching the movie "Treasure Island". Amanda refuses to enjoy herself because she's too busy searching the house for a clue to the hidden immunity idol. Danielle finds it in the popcorn and tries to be slick about it but Amanda sees her and goes psycho, literally wrestling her for it. Colby refuses to step in and back Amanda up so she gives it up and sulks for the rest of the movie.

 

Back at camp, Danielle shares the clue with her fellow villains but feeling crossed by the ladies in his alliance, Russell goes and finds the idol himself. He shows it to Candice (Russell's repeated move in the game) and tries to pull her in to his alliance so that he can eventually dump Sandra. Meanwhile, Sandra goes to the heroes and tries to flip in order to take out Russell.

 

In the immunity challenge, the first person who could build a stack of wooden cards ten stories high would win. You could feel the frustration every time someone's stack crashed back to the ground. Russell and Jerri got off to a good start and were neck and neck but Jerri was able to finish hers first, just a few seconds ahead to win her first individual immunity EVER in the game.

 

Let the scrambling begin!  Sandra tries to oust Russell and then Candice runs back to Russell and tells them everything she and the heroes have been saying.  So she's really flipping huh?  The villains throw out Amanda's name while the heroes make one last desperate attempt to save themselves, by secretly plotting to vote for Parvati. 

 

At tribal, Russell calls Sandra out for just "being there" and not really doing anything to compete.  Ouch.  Everyone seems to think Danielle has the idol (since she had the clue) but little do they know that that sneaky little pirate Russell snatched it up.  He plays the idol, unnecessarily, thinking he's in trouble.  The votes are for Parvati and Amanda but with five votes, Amanda is out.  This is her third season of Survivor and the first time ever she's been voted out.  You gotta give it up to her.
