It's a dark and stormy night on Samoa and the villain tribe began to rue their lack of a decent shelter.
They're wet and freezing their butts off.
The next day they started on revision 4 of the shelter. Now I've never actually built a jungle shelter for a group of people but it really doesn't seem all that complicated. Get off the ground, figure out which way the wind is blowing, add roof. Maybe I'm over-simplifying.
I thought it amusing that most of them considered Sugar to be the luckiest one in the game so far.
Coach has his Smurf hat look going early. Sure to be a new fashion trend. Oh, wait! It already is:
The Heroes, on the flip side, have built a small condo with running water and a restaurant and bar. I kept expecting to see the Professor and Yau-Man hanging around the camp working on a coconut radio.
Rupert and Stephenie don't seem to be getting along which seemed to be the only thing going poorly on that end.
Boston Rob looks bushed. In fact, he was so bushed that he walked off into the jungle and passed out.
This would have been a good time for a leopard or something to find him...possibly worse, it was Jerri.
As bad as he looked, I figured we were going to have our first injury evacuation of the season. Rob looked as dead as Cousin Willie's American Idol hopes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXuMekb3L8Q
Fortunately for Rob he was able to pull it together and stay in the game, but he lost man points for blubbering about loving and respecting the game too much. I haven't seen this much crying in Survivor since Sugar left...er, wait.
Medical insisted Rob had the flu and some dehydration and sent him back to camp. Naturally he went over and hugged everyone in the tribe. Week 3 of Survivor: Russell's puking, Courtney is in a coma and the Villains still haven't built a decent shelter! You heard it here first.
At the challenge Probst announced that Sugar had been voted off at the last council. I was disappointed that they didn't show Randy's reaction, based on their history. I expected a fist pump or something.
The challenge was for pairs of contestants to roll large crates across a line and then assemble them so that the tribe name was assembled on the sides like a ladder. First tribe to the top would win.
What in the hell is Danielle wearing? It looks like some kind of clown bikini. I checked Amazon for one of those and it came up with this: Roma Bikini 3 Piece Rag Doll Costume 1461 (AS SHOWN,M/L)
and a costume of "Shackles the Clown". God as my witness you don't want to follow that link, but I'll include it anyway: California Costume Shackles the Clown 00925 (AS SHOWN,MEDIUM)
The Heroes tribe jumped out to a decent lead. They seem to have a definite advantage at the physical portions...but can they overcome the puzzle issues?
That would be a "no". Despite the plan to have JT lead the tribe, things went somewhat sideways and the Heroes were unable to complete the puzzle portion for the second challenge in a row. The entire tribe is like James. Kick-butt physical prowess but completely unable to solve puzzle challenges.
Villains win!
Back at camp Russell tracked down and killed a chicken. CBS has PETA-trained operators standing by for your calls!
Seems like Russell's a bit jealous of Boston Rob's popularity.
After the challenge James read his tribe the riot act about not listening and following the plan. Stephenie gave him some flack, which he didn't appreciate. Evidently she rubs a couple of people the wrong way. I like how people are "biting their tongues" at this stage not wanting to rock the boat. Two more weeks of little food and shelter and you can bet everyone will speak their minds.
JT took responsibility for the loss since he was supposed to be the expert at that challenge, but he certainly left the door open for everyone else to take their lumps.
James wants Stephenie to leave. His reasoning is that she never won any challenges before and made her success after all her tribe mates had been voted off.
"She's Kryptonite!"
Tom, aligned with Stephenie, wanted to talk Cirie into voting Amanda off. Doesn't seem likely since they have some significant history.
Cirie: "I don't know why everyone thinks that we're so close...she picked Parvarti over me and cost me a million dollars!" Hmmm. I stand corrected. Although technically it was a CHANCE at one million dollars. Just because the jury voted for Parvarti to win doesn't mean they would have done the same for Cirie.
Bottom line, Cirie was back to her typical game strategy of going along with voting off anyone not named Cirie.
At tribal council, Probst touched off a big fight between James and Stephenie, which led to Colby stepping in to defend her and then Tom. Nice show of solidarity, but it was definitely a minority. Things are falling apart for the Heroes tribe.
The aligned three weren't enough to carry the votes and Stephenie was out.
Stephenie had some parting words for James who advised her to shut her mouth. This drew a reaction from Tom. First time I remember someone saying something other than "good luck, guys". I like it. Maybe Survivor should add a "I'll See You In Hell" moment after someone gets voted out.
It will be interesting to see whether the tribe can make it back to camp without further incident.
Next week, James has 'roid rage and everyone gets muddy! See you next week on...Survivorfest!
