Sorry for the delay with the blog. I was off visiting my brother in North Carolina losing little white balls in big pools of water.
Fresh from voting off Liz, Foa Foa re-examined their feebleness. Evil Russell suspected a merger is on the way. He does know this game.
Laura's voice is annoying. Not nough that you immediately hate her, but more like the 'if I have to listen to that shrill little whine for one more day...'
She was whining in rare form since someone (Shambo) forgot to bring her canteen back from the challenge. She and Shambo got into a nice fight over it, which is always fun to watch.
Erik enjoyed the show as well: "We know that Shambo is crazy..everyone knows that. If Laura's fighting with her, then who's really the crazy one?"
The two tribes got their tree mail and met on the beach with no Probst in sight. I think he was accepting the runner up award for the Nobel Peace prize.
The tribes merged! A feast ensued along with lots of girlish squealing. And Erik kept hugging Mick in a way that made me feel very uncomfotable for him.
Danger Dave and Natalie had a nice chat about the relative merits of eating hermit crabs. Dave: "These hermit crabs are great, but after 7-8 days I never want to eat another one". I halfway wonder if there's going to be a sudden and mysterious run on the little guys at the local pet store.
The new tribe names Aiga. I think it's Samoan for "agony of defeat".
Evil Russell started in on Laura. He showed her his idol and tried to take charge. "If you get me to the top seven I'll give you the idol!" He then tried to dictate how the votes should go next. Laura wasn't having anything to do with it and pretty much told Evil Russell that he was her bitch.
Predictably Evil Russell didn't appreciate this and went off with just about everyone else and tried the same routine. Laura was now on his list.
Evil Russell compared himself to Babe Ruth in that he struck out more than anyone but also had lots of home runs. Not true. Babe wasn't anywhere near the top ten in strikeouts.
His plan worked with Shambo. She now trusts him "implicitly".
The immunity challenge was a game of Survivor T-ball. Immunity would be won by one man and one woman.
Each player attempted to hit a ball into a zone set up with different points. There wasn't much baseball skill involved...if anyone hit the ball too hard the ball would fly out of the zone and they'd receive no points.
Probst asked Danger Dave is baseball was his sport: "Making love is my sport!" I wonder how one would go about getting a scholarship...
Jonathan won immunity for the men and Laura won for the women. Another Galu victory and points for people who had them!
Back at camp Erik wanted to flush the idol out from under Russell. He knew he had it because Laura ratted him out.
Erik dressed down the remaining Foa Foa tribe members and essentially told them that they were done and might as well vote as they're told and maybe they could spend a couple of more miserable days in Samoa. I think that was foolish as it left them little choice but to combine their votes.
Several of the Galu folks seemed to think the same way. Jonathan told Shambo that Erik was on the outs and she honestly said "Who's Erik?" Yup. Quite the leader, that one.
At council Erik reiterated his belief that Galu members were inferior and the Foa Foa dregs would find a way to lose.
The joke was on him as all the rest of the players with the exception of Shambo, who is eternally clueless, voted him out.
Evil Russell opted to play his idol since everyone knew he had it anyway and he wasn't sure how the vote was going to go. No one wrote down his name, but at least he played the stupid thing!
Erik went out and took his hidden idol with him like so many before him. He represents our first jury member and extra points will be awarded.
See you next week on...Survivorfest!
