Survivorfest week 11

Jason gets fooled again and the women continue their power play! Lisa is our second Survivorfest player to lose all of her people. I'll bet she has something to say about Jason's strategy this week :-)

This week in Survivorfest thinking:

Back at camp, Amanda was still in shock from losing her meal ticket. I could tell because she wasn't grinning and goofing around like an eighth grader.

Parvarti tried to get back into James's good graces, but she'd done too much damage. James returned to a theme he used last season: There they were in the Garden of Eden (a good plan with a solid path to having the people they wanted in the final four) and Parvarti had to go and be an "apple chewer".


From what I can tell, you don't cross James and expect him to get over it. Despite Parvarti's best BS and flirting, James would not budge. For future reference, I think James would be happy to keep playing the game on the island until his opponents grew old and died.


Mark, a former Survivorfest player who is taking this season off, made a prediction that the women's alliance will fall apart before it ends with five females being the only remaining players. Duly noted and something to keep an eye out for.


Probst hosted a Survivor auction, where the players bid on a covered "mystery" dish. After they win it, they get to see the prize. Cirie won the first plate, a delicious hotdog platter. She even tried to stiff Probst on the payment. She definitely gets style points for that.


Erik won the next dish and was given the opportunity to pass in favor of another dish. He took the second dish. The first was a jar of raw octopus (yum!) and the second was a plate of nachos.


Erik: "Woo!!! Nachos!" I figured that was what he usually said when he sees nachos.


Natalie won the next bid and ended up with a nice pot of bat soup, complete with heads. CBS must have some kind of PETA-related death wish. Natalie declined the delicacy, no doubt offending any Micronesians who might be watching. James stepped up to the plate, literally, and had a go at the soup.

"You gotta peel da skin off," he explained.

The next dish was not covered. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Amanda dropped $280 for the privilege of eating the PB&J, setting the modern mark for a simple sammich. I only have one thing to say:


It's peanut butter jelly time!
peanut butter jelly time!
peanut butter jelly time!
peanut butter jelly time!
peanut butter jelly time!
peanut butter jelly wid a baseball bat!

I will now throw myself off of a tall building and attempt to land on the Buckwheat Boyz.


In all fairness, Alexis was also bidding for the PB&J, and I think Amanda might still be miffed about the whole "new friend for Ozzy" thing. Are we seeing an early crack in the women's alliance?

Natalie won the next item, which turned out to be a bottle with a note. She would choose one person to head to Exile Island and get to keep that player's money. The kicker is that since Ozzy didn't play the hidden immunity idol, it was replaced with new clues.


Jason begged to be spared, but Natalie chose him anyway. Probst got in a little dig "Jason, an opportunity to get your hands on a real immunity idol." Ouch!


With the remainder of her money and Jason's, Natalie purchased the last dish...a huge chocolate cake. The kicker was that she could choose three friends to join her and they only had 60 seconds with the cake.


Remember when I said this season was a fetishists dream? Case in point. The girls gorged themselves, stuffing huge chunks of cake into their maws. I actually believe that Natalie unhinged her lower jaw in order to stuff in a fist-sized piece of cake.


Erik called out from the sideline "I'll pay $20 to get to lick the cake off of someone's fingers!" When asked if he was serious, he upped the offer to $40.


Cirie was game, and Erik...well, I'll leave the two their privacy.

I think CBS is missing a great eBay opportunity here: Lick the dirty fingers of one of the Survivor women! Urgh. That's twisted enough to make even me stop this thread right here. I'll add an extra period just to be sure..


James weighed in with a Survivor HOF quote: "There's somethin' wrong wit dat boy!"


Natalie reflected on her decision to send Jason to Exile. She didn't know why he was so upset..."Bitch has two days of sunshine and the idol!" At that point she started getting more and more angry about Jason getting the idol. Um...you sent him, Natalie!


On Exile, Jason quickly found the immunity idol. Remember when the first 2-3 people who went to the island couldn't/wouldn't find all the clues? For some reason Ozzy and Jason could find them in about 15 minutes.

I was bitterly disappointed when Jason didn't try to replace the hidden immunity idol with another fake. I can't tell you how much I would have enjoyed that.


Back at camp, Natalie hatched a plan to get Jason voted off. The plan was to assume he had the immunity idol, but convince him that they were gunning for James and hope that he wouldn't use it. Seemed like a stretch to me, but Natalie was sure that Jason trusted her. As she put it, "he'd have to be an idiot not to!" Good point. He probably is and probably will.


It's Erik's birthday today! He's nine years old. Just kidding. Twenty two...geez, I have underwear older than that...and frankly, I'd put them up against Erik in a battle of wits.

The immunity challenge was a complicated series of tasks that were taken from previous challenges. Winners of each stage would continue on to the next.


The first stage was a throw-the-rock-break-the-plate deal. Erik, James, Jason and Amanda broke theirs first, moving them on to the next stage.


Second stage required the players to dig up a key to unlock puzzle pieces that would form a wheel to turn to drop a heavy bar.


James and Erik won this challenge to move on. Amanda never did find her key. I have a theory that she was trying to dig a hole to get back to Survivor China.

The last stage was to place two planks on a rope bridge and crawl across. James rushed out early and fell, having to start over. Erik took advantage of this to take a lead which he didn't relinquish. James made it very close at the end, but the newly 23-year-old pulled it out to win immunity.


Back at camp, the girls began openly plotting to blindside Jason. Strangely, the guys had nothing to say, even though they knew that they were likely going home next. Natalie waited until Jason left for a while and rifled through his bag, finding his idol.


Afterward, not only did he agree with their plan to vote off James, but he insisted that he could trust Natalie. I wonder where he was when this happened to Ozzy? Oh, yeah...sitting right next to him!


James couldn't believe Jason would be silly enough to not use the idol: "No way dat dummy is not gonna play it tonight!" James, meet Jason. Jason, James.


James seriously needs to work on his play strategy. He was mad at Parvarti, I get that. But sometimes you have to play along to get along.

And I can't figure out why he didn't try to mess with the girl's strategy...If he and Erik went to Jason in private and warned him the girls were going to blindside him, they could have outvoted the next highest tally (James) and gotten rid of one of the females. Jason might not have believed him, but it would have given him something to think about.

All it would have taken is "Dude, the last bunch of guys who had the immunity idol, me included, got nailed the week before they thought they'd have to use it..."

Natalie, is slowly turning into one of the queen witches of Survivor: "I'm going to be flossing my teeth with [Jason's] jugular!" I'm not entirely sure that she was speaking metaphorically.


At tribal council, Ozzy joined the jury, pausing to flip his former tribemates the sacred Micronesian parrot, a.k.a. "the bird". Guess he didn't appreciate the clever gameplay. He's going to make sure that whoever screwed him last week isn't going home with a million bucks.

I'll make a prediction right now, that unless the only people left at the end are people who screwed Ozzy, that none of them will win. Mark it down. Of course, this is a prediction from a guy whose only remaining player is Cirie...


Probst offered to let Erik "do something crazy" and give up immunity before the vote. Maybe if he said "do something stupid" he would've had him. We'll never know.

When Probst asked if anyone wanted to play the hidden immunity idol, Jason probably should have been alarmed that everyone turned around to look at him. He was an idiot to tell Natalie he had it (even though she knew) but even he should have wondered why they all looked at him so expectantly.


Jason was blindsided, leading me to wonder, has anyone who found the hidden immunity idol ever used one!?! It's like the kiss of death.


Next week: family visits, another immunity idol is hidden for someone not to use and James's finger hurts but Ozzy's works just fine!

Survivorfest week 10

The Ozzfather is blindsided! Parvarti wins a challenge! Erik gets to talk! All spell out another wild week of Survivor!

Jason came back from tribal council where Eliza was voted off after an abortive, and somewhat humorous, attempt to use the fake immunity idol that Ozzie had left behind. He admitted to "feeling kind of silly". I'm not sure if that was from being fooled by the fake idol or from wearing that ridiculous bandanna thing on his head. He looked like a cross between Aunt Jemima and an extra from the Emperor's New Groove.

Cirie reflected on Ami's failed attempt to blindside Ozzie and that if he had been voted off it wouldn't have been such a bad thing. I'd like to point out that I saw this coming in last week's blog. I shall now break my arm patting myself on the back.

The reward challenge was an obstacle course, in the water, leading to a memory puzzle. The tribe was divided into two groups, chosen by schoolyard pick. Jason went first and picked Ozzie. Natalie made a critical error by selecting James (swimming + puzzle challenge should equal someone other than James). Jason rounded out his team with Amanda and Erik.

Since there were nine people, Cirie was the odd person out. She was sent to Exile Island where she knew that no idol awaited her. This is not going to improve her disposition.

Reward was a plane trip and a grand feast on the island nation of Yap. A quick Wiki search indicates that Yap is also known as Wa'ab. Seriously, let's get a PR person down to these poor people and rename their islands! No one is going to spend good tourism $$$ in a place named Wa'ab or Yap! Those are sounds a dog makes.

Jason's team took a quick lead due to their strong swimmers and quickly completed the challenge. James' contribution for his leg of the trip was one single puzzle piece. At least he didn't get it wrong, I guess.

The winning tribe took off on a plane ride to Yap, where they were greeted by the Dalai Lama. Just kidding. He kinda looked like him, though.

Erik seemed refreshed from the plane ride and was dropping Survivor Hall of Fame quotes like poop from a goose. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Turns out my boy Erik is from Hickney. Is anyone even remotely surprised by this? You can't make stuff like this up.

You can, however, make believe you are on Dinosaur Island: "[The island] is so primeval...I kept expecting a dinosaur to come out...Raahhhrr!"

The native women went topless for the feast, leading Erik to remark: "The lunch lady didn't have a shirt on" and "I've never seen so many boobs in my life!".

Erik also went on to rave about the dramatic quality of the native dance "it was some legend of their culture!" I suspect it was the legend of the great Dabu.

Erik went on to try the native custom of chewing betel nuts, which provide a mild buzz. They also appeared to cause significant intestinal distress later, leading to the top ten Hall of Fame worthy quote: "Damn that betel nut!"

Followed shortly by "I partied too hard Micronesian style!"

Erik is now one of my all-time favorite Survivors.

The immunity challenge was an endurance challenge where the tribe stood with an arm upraised and attached to a bucket of colored water. This event was full of surprises...

Cirie and Erik (!) quit in order to share a bowl of gummy candy. What...the...hell? I can see Cirie doing this, because she typically doesn't win challenges and wasn't likely to break her streak on an endurance challenge. But Erik?

Since when did he feel comfortable enough in the game to skip challenges? And for a bowl of candy?!? I'm starting to suspect he may have a mental age of eight. It would have cemented it for me if he had used the phrase "boobies" earlier, so the jury is still out.

Alexis dropped out before Probst officially offered the next bribe, so she didn't get anything but a seat on the bench. She gave Probst a really nasty look.

Natalie dropped out for some cookies. And I think she lost her pants when the water dumped on her. How awkward.

James lost his concentration and stretched, causing his water bucket to dump on him.

Ozzie dropped out for donuts. Better than a bowl of candy, but Ozzie!

At the five hour mark, Amanda exceeded all expectations I had of her. But she then decided she had to pee and quit to take a sprint into the jungle. I'd like to point out that these guys were rained on for some period of time, providing ample opportunity for relief. And who goes into an immunity challenge with a full bladder, anyway?

At the six hour mark, Probst rolled out the big guns: a full plate of junk food, pizza and drinks for everyone if someone dropped out of the challenge.

With only Jason and Parvarti left, Jason asked for a verbal promise of immunity if he gave up so they can all eat. Everyone promised not to vote for him, although several had their fingers crossed. Literally. I mean, come on. What is this, sixth grade?

Jason dropped out, leaving Parvarti with immunity.

James went on to make a rambling statement or story about challenges and donuts, but I would need a transcript to figure out what the heck he was talking about. Maybe he was delirious.

Back at camp, Cirie and Parvarti led the "let's blindside Ozzie" crusade. The group wisely left out Amanda, James and Erik on the discussion, since they had the numbers they needed. This was neatly covered by the fact that everyone seemed to automatically assume that when they promised they would not vote out Jason, they were in fact, all lying.

I was surprised that Probst didn't spend more time at tribal council trying to subtly hint that Ozzie might get screwed. He usually does something like that, but he spent more time hinting to Jason that everyone was going to axe him despite their promises.

James weighed in with a HOF worthy quote as he cast his vote for Jason "...and I thought I was the dumbest Survivor ever..."

The blindside worked beautifully. Despite having the hidden immunity idol, Ozzie felt comfortable enough not to play it and was voted off.

The shock was evident...Amanda looked like she was trying to catch flies with her mouth, James was apoplectic and Erik looked like he was going to cry. Even Eliza was beside herself.

He took it pretty well, I thought: "Whoever from my group that voted me off, I hate you. Screw you, basically." He'll make a fine member of the jury and he'll definitely be added to the list of top ten Surivor exits (if I ever make one).

Next week, everything is up for grabs!

Survivorfest week 9

Eliza is the first to join the jury as the tribes merge!



This weeks Survivor thoughts:



Fresh from tribal council Ozzie was still fuming about Ami and the way she tried to play both sides: "If she'd just stuck with me we wouldn't have voted her off." Ah...it seems like just last week that Ozzie was insisting that he wasn't a leader. Wait...it was.



Erik now belongs to the Ozzfather, body and soul: "We have, like, this zookeeper bond...I'm more the monkey and he's the zookeeper." You're one strange little monkey, Erik.



The tribes learned that they're to merge via tree mail and they gathered their belongings and sailed in to a cove, where a fine "merge feast" awaited them. Or not. As it turned out, the primary meat was bat, complete with the head, ears and teeth. On top of that, the entire spread seemed to have been exposed to flies for some time. MmMMmMMmmmm! Thanks, Jeff!



James, ever the gamer, decided to dig into one of the bats. I halfway expected Probst to come running out of the jungle and say "Wait! That's the stuff for our next immunity challenge! For God's sake don't eat it!"



Erik came up with "Dabu" for the new name of the merged tribe. He claimed it was a Micronesian word for Ozzie. Just kidding. Hey, I give the boy props as it turned out he was totally making it up and had no knowledge of the Micronesian language. I just hope the tribe tries to make him act as translator to a drunk, angry Micronesian before the season ends.

Quick educational blurb: The native languages of the various Micronesian indigenous peoples are classified under the Austronesian language family. Almost all of these languages belong to the Oceanic subgroup of this family (there's a Lost joke here somewhere). The Oceanic languages are a subgroup of the Austronesian languages, containing approximately 450 languages. So basically no one knows what the hell language these people speak. Maybe dabu is a word. Chances are the average Micronesian couldn't say...



Ozzie rekindled the friendship that he and Alexis started up while on Exile Island together. Amanda seemed less than graceful about losing her would-be meal ticket...er, boyfriend.



She said to Cirie "Alexis is very, very, very dangerous! We need to get her voted off" to which Cirie replied "I'm good with that!" Cirie seems to be good with any plan that involves voting someone else off. I guarantee she'll be one of the first on the "let's try to bushwhack Ozzie" bandwagon in the next week or two.



Eliza has taken to walking around camp carrying a machete. That should be setting off alarms with just about everyone.



Ozzie weighs in with a Survivor Hall of Fame quote as he contemplates Jason's skills and desire to showcase his talents: "He's gonna prove himself...or not."



Jason spent some time finding a nice hiding place for his fake idol. He mentioned that he is hopeful that he doesn't forget where he hid it. That would most definitely make the top ten list of ignominious Survivor moments (http://iamincredulous.blogspot.com/2008/02/ignominious-moments-in-survivor-history.html)...Spending%20time ...Spending time trying to find an idol that wasn't even real.



Parvarti confessed to Amanda that she started another alliance with Natalie and Alexis, and included Amanda. Amanda was not pleased. I'm not sure if it's because she's terrified of crossing Ozzie or if she doesn't want to band together with a girl who's trying to get with her future reality series husband.



Parvarti realized she was in rough waters and reverted to her "I'm just a silly goof" persona: "Ha ha, I might as well go make an alliance with Erik and Eliza, now!" Yup. Parvarti is a Tribal Trollop. I think that term is getting added to the glossary: http://iamincredulous.blogspot.com/2008/02/survivor-glossary.html



The immunity challenge is Survivor's answer to waterboarding. Each player will be suspended under a cage in the water. The cage will be dropped by degrees until the person is forced to fight for breath. Last one out from under the cage wins.



Zookeeper and monkey relationships, bruises and impalings, water torture...this season is a fetishists dream come true!



The challenge began by a school of fish trying to eat James. I can almost hear the fish thinking aloud "Mmmmm...tastes like bat!" I would've claimed to see a shark just to spice things up.



Amanda is first out because she stinks at challenges. Oh, and because she accidentally swam out from under her cage. Uh huh.



One by one the women all dropped out. Erik leaves surprisingly early, as well.



James, Jason and Ozzie stayed to the bitter end, using their hands as makeshift snorkel tubes. James gave in, followed by Ozzie several moments later. Jason is our first winner of individual immunity and another payout for those who picked him.

I guess we have definitive proof that Ozzy does not, in fact, possess gills.



Ozzie showed us what he thought of Jason winning by puking up his lunch. The good news was he didn't seem to have eaten any of the bats. If James had yakked it would have been like watching an Ozzy Osbourne concert on "rewind". All right, you try to be funny after nine weeks.



Back at camp Jason began talking some serious smack about "dominating" Ozzie in the challenge. Enjoy life on the island while it lasts, kid. You're gonna need to win all the challenges from here on out.



Before the challenge Jason told Eliza that he possessed the (fake) immunity idol and that if he won the challenge, he would give it to her. Forty five seconds after returning to camp she came calling.



They snuck off to Jason's hiding spot and he handed the idol off to her. In true feral fashion she squirreled it away to check it out in private. It took her all of three seconds to realize what we already knew. Erik isn't the only idiot on the island.



She charged down to the beach to find Jason and confronted him, thinking he was trying to pull a fast one on her. Which would have been good too, now that I think about it. Offer to give away the immunity idol and hand over a fake one...hmmmm.



Eliza was convinced the idol was fake despite Jason's assurances "It's got a face carved on it!"



She decided to try to play it at council anyway. Goody!



At tribal council, there was no mistaking everyone's plan to vote off Eliza. CBS didn't even try to make us think something else was going on.



Parvarti's little quip while writing down Eliza's name "I hope you learn from your mistakes the second time around." Um. Isn't this her second time around? Some people take a little longer than others to learn their lessons, I guess.



After the votes were cast, Eliza whipped out her stick, much to the amusement of Ozzie. To his credit, he only broke up for a few minutes before acting all stoic.



I was disappointed to see that Probst seemed unamused by the whole fake idol switcharoo. He informed Eliza the idol was fake and tossed it in the fire. I think that was a bad move. I'm pretty sure that stupid stick would've made several hundred dollars on eBay for a Survivor charity auction. Hopefully one of the camera guys pulled it out before it burned up.



Eliza got the boot, as expected, becoming the first member of the jury and adding to tonight's payout. Jason wrote down Ozzie's name, which should seal his fate in the next week or two.



The website is updated with the latest money winners.



See you next week on....Survivorfest!

Survivorfest week 8

Ami sleeps with the fishes!

My Survivor thoughts for week 8:

Malakal returned from tribal council grousing about Tracy's parting shots. I have to admit, she couldn't keep herself in the game, but she really did a number on those left behind. I think she deserves another round on a Survivor favorites season in the future.

Ozzie seemed particularly shaken, having the mantle of "leader" foisted upon him.

Ozzie: "I'm not the leader...I just have good opinions and people respect me. " If it walks like a duck...

I also noted that they used the word "like" approximately 400 times in a single conversation. Like, ugh.

Ami and Cirie made a dramatic early morning crab hunt, resulting in good news for the hungry tribe and bad news for the crabs. I feel a PETA boycott coming soon.

I note that Eliza continues to look positively feral. If I were on the island I think I'd make sure the machete was accounted for at all times.

Parvarti still seemed to be sporting a fat lip from her previous encounter with a fence post. It kind of makes her look like she's growing a mustache. I don't think she'll be happy to see that.

The Airai tribe celebrated their recent victory when Jason caught and killed a rat in honor of the first season of Survivor. Oh, look...I just received a PETA boycott email in my inbox...

The challenge this week combined immunity with reward. Each tribe got to pick a member of the other tribe to sit out the challenge, head to Exile Island and get immunity at tribal council for that one day.

Alexis is chosen from her tribe and seems delighted to have Ozzy chosen to join her. I suspect CBS threw this one out there since they knew Ozzy already had it. Why send people to a place with a hidden immunity idol just to give them a one-day immunity?

Jason asks for the previous week's idol and Jason tried to get cute with him "what are we playing for, Jeff?" You could almost see Probst make a mental note to have Jason room with Kathleen at the Survivor resort when he gets voted off the island.

Reward is pizza and beer and no tribal council for the winners.

The challenge was a rope bridge, net and balance beams, while other people from the tribe tried to knock them off with weighted bags. The first tribe to retrieve all five of their flags would be the winner.

Erik attacked the course, jumping over the first rope bridge to the platform. On his fifth attempt he didn't make it, landing chest first against the edge of the platform. Ouch. He shrugged it off though and continued on. He may not be smart, but he's tough.

I think the bags needed to weigh more. Several of them hit the mark, but when Eliza and Erik can shrug off getting hit by a sand bag, it's too light.

Airai won again as Jason and Eliza took their team home. Both were somewhat slow, but steady, and didn't make any major mistakes.

Erik tried hard (almost desperately), but the crash into the platform combined with Amanda's typical lackluster performance doomed them. She must get a lot of mileage with her looks, because I just don't see her adding value in any other facet of the game.

On Exile Island, Ozzie and Alexis attempted to find the hidden immunity idol. The only value for Ozzie is to keep Alexis from finding out he already has it and to discern whether someone else has found the fake one he left behind.

Turns out someone did, which tickled Ozzie to no end. I hope it pans out...could be a real "Billy Moment" for someone.

Back on the beach, Jeff indicated "Ozzie will be returning shortly to join Malakal for tribal council...and he won't be pleased". Okay I added that last part. But he won't be.

Heh. I just noticed that Erik has matching green and yellow sneakers to go with his shorts. He is soooo '70s. Has anyone checked to see if he is actually Leif Garret's love child?

At reward, Airai enjoyed the pizza and beer.

James' special skill is opening bottles of beer with his teeth. Jason tried it as well. Bad move, dude. The only dentist on the island is a tubby Micronesian with a pair of pliers and a hangover.

Back with Malakal, Erik tried to sway Cirie and Amanda to keep him around by spilling the beans on Ami and the way she's been playing both sides the past few weeks.

Ami caught him in the act and did a poor job of trying to talk them out of it. When that didn't work she started crying her eyes out, resulting in a big three-way girlie hug. Erik can't be happy to see that.

Erik: "Things are looking pretty bad...things are definitely bad." He's starting to sound like Randy from My Name is Earl.

Ozzie returned on the boat from Exile Island to find Erik waiting for him halfway into the surf.

Ozzie: "How'd we do?"
Erik: "We lost."
Ozzie: "No way! "

Um. Ozzie, you guys lost the last three straight challenges with you participating...why be surprised they lost next one without you?

Erik retold his story of how Ami had been playing both sides (however ineffectually), which really seemed to bug Ozzie. An actual discussion between Amanda and Ozzie:

Amanda: "Erik is more dangerous than he appears!"
Ozzie: "So is Ami!"

Not sure where they're getting their facts from...let's review the "loser on Survivor" list:

Loses most challenges? Check.
Regularly at tribal council? Check.
In serious danger of being voted off? Check.
Lets other do the thinking for them? Check.
Allied with non-power group or a hanger-on with a power group? Check, check.

Yup. Neither one seems to be "dangerous" other than to themselves.

At tribal council, Probst dug in a little deeper, attempting to pry apart any cracks in the team. Ami quickly resorted to tearing up and wailing about feeling left out. Hey, it worked earlier in the day.

Watching Ami try to explain herself to Ozzie for "just talking" with the other tribe about voting him off last week reminded me of a scene from the Godfather.

Cue Italian dinner music.
Ami: "I swear, Ozzfather, I would never do anything to betray you!"
Ozzfather: "This...game...is a matter of trust...You were a part of my family."
Ami: "Ozzfather, no! I would never leave you! I would be loyal all throughout the merge!"
Ozzfather looks away and nods. A grim-faced Amanda and Cirie lead her away, into the night.
Ami: "Amanda...you were like a sister to me...Could you do me a favor and look away for a moment? You'll never see me again."
Amanda frowns and shakes: "Sorry, Ami."

Ozzie seemed to pause for several moments before starting to write his choice down. Curious as the vote was effectively unanimous.

After being voted off, a teary Ami turned to Erik and says "you're gonna have so much fun!" She then ran off into the night. I don't think I've ever seen anyone run down the path after getting voted off before. We might need to come up with a top ten list of most interesting exits.

Next week: Eliza tries to convince Jason that he doesn't, in fact, have the idol (dang it). See you next week on...Survivorfest!
