Survivor: Samoa

 

To start off I want to say that this is the best season of Survivor ever... well, besides my own of course! There have never been this many stupid moves. These people are supposed to know what they are doing - they are all stars!

 

When arriving back at camp, everyone still seemed to be in shock about what happened at tribal. Russell was on a mission to talk to Parv and find out what was going on. He likes to be in control and when he isn't, he panics. I think I am going to start wearing my Team Parvati shirt around.

 

Parvati knows the game and is starting to figure out Russell. She likes to have that control also. To be honest, I am very surprised Russell has kept her around this long. He likes to keep around the weaker women who he can control.

 

The second I saw Russell approach Candice, I knew exactly what he was doing. I think she may actually flip! Is that a smart move? I am not sure. It probably is, considering she is on the outs if she stays with the heroes They are going to get picked off one by one.

 

Side note about Candice - I loved her the first season she was on and this season I am enjoying watching her more and more every week. I hope she makes it far!! Although, I am loving Sandra more and more every episode! I love all the one-liners.

 

Survivor Shuffleboard ends with Colby, Amanda and Danielle winning a night to sleep in a bed and eat some food. Amanda was on the prowl for the clue to the idol. I was hoping she would find it instead of a villain. The second Danielle found it and dropped it on the floor, I was slightly bummed out. I knew Russell would then find an idol and it would get played yet again to save him. If it were not for the idols, Russell would not be in the game.

 

Ok hold on, did Danielle and Amanda seriously wrestle for the clue? Stupid move on Amanda's part. Put a huge target on her back. Dumb move yet again, I think I need to do a countdown of the stupid moves made this season when it's all over and done with. I do think there will be plenty more stupid moves. Don't get me wrong they are fun to watch but come on all stars!

 

Trainer's Tip #11 - If you have a clue to the idol, keep it to yourself! Danielle sharing the clue lead to Russell finding yet another...

Russell, another idol, for real! Now he is hiding it from his "girls" because they hid it from him. He is trying to gain that control back that he seemed to lose last episode.

This is my question, if everyone seems to be catching onto Russell's games why are they not voting him out? Parv, Sandra, Rupert... what are you doing people!?

 

Challenge time! I was happy to see Jerri win and how excited she was. Building a house of cards 10 feet tall is a challenge, especially when you are so deprived and malnourished. Colby has officially checked out and it's sad. He was the star of season 2, the STAR!!! Now that Courtney left, he is one of the most pathetic players out there.

 

There was a huge scramble party back at camp before tribal. 3 days in 3 minutes, like Rupert said during the episode. I know how that feels, we always had scramble parties at Foa Foa. Let me tell you, they are not fun!

 

The second anyone opens their mouth and tells too much the scramble begins. Candice did it this time and boom, Russell was on a mission. This could be a game changing move for Candice that could bring her to the end. It could also work against her and put a target on her back.

 

This is how Russell describes the villain's ways of playing the game. It's not paradise that's for sure. Danielle is aggressive- yes we saw that as she wrestled Amanda. Jerri is calm. Parv is a charmer. And Sandra is "just there." Not looking good for Sandra. I am glad she decided to flip sides!

 

I thought the Heroes would learn the first time to not make assumptions....there they go again assuming Danielle has the idol. Russell plays it for himself and he didn't need to. Parv looked pissed and told him he wasted an idol. She wasted an idol last week by giving one to Sandra and Jerri.

 

This season has been incredible. Filled with blindsides and so many exciting moves.  I can't wait for next week's episode!
