Survivorfest week 6!

Yve hops off into the sunset with Holly One-Leg!

Sorry about the delay on the latest blogs.  (Evil) Russell Hantz has been hanging around my house a lot in the evenings and he just won't take a hint when it's time to leave!

Fresh from tribal council, Dan is thinking about quitting.  His knee is bugging him and he doesn't like the outdoor life.  Helllloooooo...it's Survivor!  He didn't think he could stand another 20 days of rain.  Somehow I don't think that is going to be a problem.

Yve, meanwhile, told everyone how, despite what they thought, she wasn't "with" Tyrone.  Yeah, she says that now, but later on she'll be bragging to her friends about how she's such a close pal with some guy named Tyrone.  Everyone wishes that could say that..."Yeah, when I was hangin' with my buddy Tyrone..."  You know you like the sound of it.

Individual immunity challenge! 

Players dug up circular pieces of rope, had to flip them onto a basket on their backs and then toss the rings onto pegs.  First player to ring all their ropes won individual immunity.

This was a silly-looking challenge, clearly created to pander to the older folks.  My favorite part was the basket they were supposed to flip the rings into.  It looked like they were sporting toilet seats strapped to their backs.


Holly and Jill (individual immunity points for each!) completed the challenge first and squared off for a reward for their tribe.  Both tribes would vote someone off and the winner would get to enjoy a feast while sitting in on the loser's tribal council.

It was a close competition, but Jill pulled it out. Funny, I wouldn't have given two thousand independent votes that Hollie would be able to stick around this long.  Maybe it's that weird Fargo-like accent.

Back at camp La Flor, Marty told Fabio that he was a chess grandmaster.  Fabio said he was more of a leg man.  I'll wait a minute to let that sink in.  Bah.  That wasn't really worth it, was it?

Anyway, it turns out that Marty was lying to impress Fabio with his planning skills.  I think the fact that he knew how to play chess impressed Fabio.

The tactic seemed to work.  When the rest of the tribe wanted to vote off Marty, Fabio was hesitant.  I think he believed that Marty might be able to see through him with his Jedi mind tricks.

At council Marty decided to trust his instincts and hold onto his idol.  The youngsters split their votes and tied on Marty and Kelly One Leg.

The re-vote took place and Kellie came up...ahem...short.

While Kelly hopped off through the graveyard, her tribe dug into a feast while the Espada tribe filed in for council.

They got an earful about Dan's whining about life in the great outdoors.  Yve couldn't believe that she was the only one calling him out.  Dan suddenly decided that he didn't want to quit and loved everything about being miserable.  Further, he insisted that Yve was arrogant..her overall attitude.

Yve pointed out that she hadn't been going on about a Ferrari, six cars and his own guest spot on Lifestyles of the Rich and Shameless.

Despite the whining and the lack of skill at challenges, Espada decided to vote off Yve.  I still can't figure that one out.
