Survivorfest - week 4!

Jimmy T is benched for good!

Fresh from tribal council, Tribe Arthritis is still reeling from their decision to remove their obvious leader, Jimmyjohnson.

Jimmy T tried to pick up the slack and keep his tribe motivated and happy through a rainstorm by a weird combination of hugging and singing old Four Seasons songs. Yes, it was really that odd.

Tribe Oldster immediately realized they had made a mistake and voted off the wrong Jimmy.  Most blamed the fact that both men were old, had fake teeth and might have been named Jimmy or Bobby or something.

It's clear that most of them consider Nicaragua to be a little slice of hell.  I guess the country can put aside its new "Nicaragua - Land of Retirees!" program.

Jimmy T is happy that Jimmy J was let go, since he wasn't respecting his obvious talent.  He's not too happy with Marty, either.  He indicated "Marty wouldn't last a minute in my world!"  He's from Massachusetts for crying out loud!

At Camp Diaper Rash NaOnka and Brenda, despite all odds, managed to figure out the immunity map puzzle and Nay dug up the idol (points for Nay!).  Note that Brenda carefully backed away when it became clear they were about to find it so that she would not be thrown to the ground and stomped on (ghetto style).  Well played.

Alina and Kelly One Shoe decided that if they were going to find the idol first, that they would need to go looking as well. Nay noted this and followed them.


Unable to bring herself to admit that she had the idol and start gloating (ala Russell) she decided to scream at them and insult them for trying to look for it.  I am 95% sure that NaOnka is a sociopath.  That is Latin for person of chaotic, potentially dangerous actions or Kentuckian for crazy bitch what need killin'.

I don't see a big old kiss and make up between Nay and Differently-Abled Kelly at the reunion show.  I would, however, like to see a nice pay-per-view grudge match.  Maybe in a cage.  Can't the WWF or the MMF make something like this happen?

Treemail came and gave an indication that the challenge would involve blindfolds.  The older tribe decided it would be a good idea to practice wearing them and calling out instructions.  Good idea!

As suspected, the challenge was to have pairs blindfolded and bound together with one "caller" to instruct the pairs where to go to pick up items in a kind of scavenger hunt.  Reward would be immunity and choice of fine Sears brand products.

Tribe Pampers opted to use the Medallion of Power to gain an advantage.

They didn't need it.  The younger tribe wiped the drool off of the older tribe's faces.  I think Tyrone's comment summed it all up when he got tired of trying to get Jimmy T to listen to his instructions:  "Damn, that boy don't listen."

Back at Camp Geriatric Jimmy went into full whine mode, indicating that he needed to play a bigger part in the tribe's failures.

Jill still wants to let Marty make the decisions on who to vote off.  She's starting to get on my nerves.

At Camp Kinder Chase found a clue to the camp immunity idol in the fishing gear they won at reward. He decided to share it with Brenda, who, after much hemming and hawing, decided to fess up that Nay had already found it.

At least he won't have to have NaOnka follow him into the brush and yell at him.

At council Dan came dressed like a Smurf.  It's a good look for him, though.

Probst pushed on why Dan continued to sit out challenges.  Evidently Dan's bad knee won't allow him to participate on muddy or uneven footing.  That's probably going to be a real liability IN THE RAIN FOREST!

Despite a tearful acceptance by Jimmy T that no one wanted him to be the heart and soul of Tribe Elder, they decided they had just about had all they could stand of him. 

Next week:  CBS realizes this isn't working out and the tribes go to a merge!
