Survivorfest week 3!!!

Jimmy J is cut!

Fresh from tribal council, Naonka still hates everyone.  The rest of the tribe tried to act nice to each other after the vicious blood-letting at council.  At least you know where you stand with Nay...about a foot closer than you should be.

Jud reveals his game strategy:  Be funny around camp, but add something to that, like his mentality and spirituality, so it isn't just that he's LOL.

I think Camp Kiddie needs to rid themselves of a Kelly so that they don't need to keep referring to one as Kelly Purple and the other as Kelly One-Leg.  Sorry, I think only Naonka does that.  Everyone knows who she's talking about, though.

At Camp Alzheimer the tribe followed the sound of howler monkeys to try to find food.  Jimmy Johnson grunted and hooted at them like a distant cousin.  He got in a nice crack on Terry Bradshaw, too.  Good stuff.

Marty isn't a big fan of Coach Jimmy's. The tribe has even taken to calling him just "Coach".  Not a good sign.  At all.



Jill talked Marty into sharing the hidden immunity idol with the tribe.  He (seemingly reluctantly) did so.  Not sure I understand the point of "sharing" an idol that can only be used by one person and has the most value after the merge.  Guess we'll see how it plays out.

Jimmy T was really happy Marty did this, and thought that it strengthened the tribe.  I guess we cleared up that mystery.

Danny appears to be breaking down.  He has a scar on one knee almost as big as the limp he carries around with it.  I think I saw a smaller scan on his other knee.  With guns like that, I suspect his back is bugging him, too.  He looks like a geriatric version of Hans...or maybe Franz.

The challenge was for immunity and reward combined.  The tribe was to roll out the barrel polka-style and set them up on their ends.  One member would then try to toss sand bags and land them on the barrel end.  First tribe to bag all the barrels would win.

Reward was a basket of fruit, some spices and a mini herb garden.

The young tribe eschewed the use of the Medallion of Power, figuring that they could easily best the grandparents in this physical challenge.

The oldsters started sluggishly, but started tossing just after the younger tribe.  Tyrone went on a tear and gave his tribe an early lead.  He got cold as he tried to hit the barrels that were farther away, however and Benry overtook him.

After missing about twenty in a row, Coach Jimmy pulled him and went to Jimmy T.  Not sure if he thought that Jimmy was a better option or was just tired of him saying, "me, coach, me!  Put me in!  I can do it, I swear!"

Jimmy T hit his first throw, but then ran out of time as Benry finished the challenge.

Kiddies win!

While gathering their booty, differently-abled Kelly noticed an immunity clue hidden with the fruit.  Unfortunately for her, Nay also saw it.  When they made it back to camp, they both went for the clue and had a nice cat fight on the beach.

Survivor is missing out on some serious add-on dollars by not promoting this sort of thing more often.  A little hot oil here, some hair-pulling there, whoops there goes part of a swimsuit and CBS has a DVD that makes it's way into the homes of forty million teenage boys and their creepy uncles.  Just saying.

(At this moment, a CBS drone in the basement of the Black Rock building in New York in charge of monitoring Internet content sits bolt upright in his chair.  He grabs a pen and furiously scribbles some notes on the palm of his pasty-white hand and dashes for a nearby elevator)

Naonka managed to pull the note away from Kelly and stomped off with the clue.

Jud:  "Whuh?  That was an idol clue?  And she had to smush the bananas?"

Nay checked out the clue, which was the same picture puzzle that the oldsters received.  I think the idol is safe for a while.  A drunken lemur has a better chance at decrypting Nazi WWII code than Naonka has at solving this puzzle on her own.

She was smart enough to realize this and went to get help from Brenda.  Ah, now we have a true brain trust.  Brenda's sage advice was to try to figure out the last of the clues, which seemed to indicate a tree, and figure out which tree looked different from the rest.  In the forest.  That has lots of trees.

Naonka was less than apologetic for pushing aside Hopalong Kelly.

"You think one leg gonna stop me?  Next time I'll push you so hard that damn leg will fly off!"  I suspect Nay has successfully managed to avoid being tabbed as a keynote speaker for any Disabled Veterans events in the near future.

She did enlighten us to the difference between "hood" and "ghetto".  Evidently what she did was "hood".  If she had stood over Kelly afterward, snapped her fingers and mocked her, it would have been "ghetto".  I think it's important that we know about these things.

And I think she's still wearing Jud's spare pair of socks.  That's ghetto, yo.

Back at Camp Oldie-Not-So-Goodie Jimmy T makes a public announcement as to his awesomeness.  "I got mad skills, Coach!  I'm bein' wasted sittin' on the bench, here!"  As opposed to sitting on the bench getting wasted, I surmise.  I wonder if that would be hood or ghetto?

Marty wants Coach out.  My wife wondered aloud whether Jimmy had cut him at some point in his life.  Worth investigating.

Jill doesn't want to think about who to vote off and tells Marty to tell her what to do.  He'll have to do the thinking for both of them.  How very Casablanca.

Both Tyrone and Jimmy T seem to like to refer to themselves in the third person.  I think Tyrones are allowed to do this, but I am not sure Jimmys are.  I'll try to look that up later.

Marty thinks that voting off Coach will "shake the tribe to its core".  And then he proceeded to talk to everyone about voting Coach off.  If it's not a surprise, and the vote is a majority, will it really shake the tribe to its core?

At council Probst probably put the final nails in Coach Jimmy's coffin when he made the whole council all about the wonderful-ness that is the famous Coach Jimmy Johnson.  In fact, he insisted on using his full name like it was a one-word title:  JimmyJohnson!  You could just see it getting on people's nerves.

I am quite certain that more than one person resolved to vote Jimmy off so that he could talk about it ad nauseam on the Fox pre-game show before any of them got voted off.  I've been watching the CBS pre-game show just to avoid it myself.

The votes went in, and Jimmy didn't make the team.

Next week we'll find out how much Naonka hates people in wheelchairs on...Survivorfest!
