Survivorfest week 7!

Jill is rubbed out!

Fresh from tribal council, Marty is miffed that the dominant youngsters of his tribe put his name down and forced a tie that led to Kelly One Leg being voted off.  Their excuse of wanting to flush the idol off was feeble even by Survivor standards.

The reward challenge was to have each tribe throw balls at a net while someone from the other tribe acted as a goalie over a pool of water.

This was fun to watch, especially since Marty hit Chase in the coconuts.

It got better when Fabio decided the pool would be a nice place to take a whiz.  The boy isn't bladder shy, that's for sure.  You can tell that it's been a rough haul for most of these players when no one complains about having to flail around in a small pool of Fabio urine.

Espada won the challenge, which was a horseback ride and a nice breakfast.  The highlight of the breakfast was that the tribe got to milk their own cow.  Wife:  "what kind of a reward is that!?!"

Nay entered into the Survivor hall of fame with this quote:  "I touched a cow's nipple.  I'm over it". 

Back at La Flor, Jane was catching a whole mess of catfish while the rest of the tribe slept in.  She treated herself to one on the side before returning to camp.  She's starting to grow on me a bit.

Now that Kelly One Leg is gone and the tribes have been re-buffed, why does Probst keep calling her Kelly Purple?

The immunity challenge was a long chute that two of the tribe would direct the rest of the tribe to aim and hold to roll a ball onto some plates.  First tribe to break all their plates won immunity.


Espada won immunity.  I think Brenda and Alina got tired of arguing with Marty and the crew about how to place the chute.  They went back to camp to figure out who should go home that night.

You know things are going sideways when Fabio is masterminding the plan to vote someone off.

Sash and Brenda came up with a plan to convince Marty to give him (Sash) his immunity idol as an act of trust.  They would then promise not to vote him off.  It sounds even more stupid when it's typed out, believe me.

Marty figures it's worth a shot since he had to use the idol anyway, and doing this might give him another week in the game.  So will actually PLAYING your immunity idol, Einstein!

At council, Jeff notes that Marty had given Sash his idol and asked if he had a Nicuraguan lobotomy.  Marty explained his reason and Probst turned on Sash.  "So, if Brenda asked you to give her the idol to "hold on to" would you?"

"Um..." awkward silence "if the time was right."  Sash then went to blather on about how it would be nice to have the idol in case "he" needed it.  He amended it to say "they".

Probst asked Fabio if he thought that was a Freudian slip.  Fabio said he didn't think it was right for guys to dress in womens nighties on prime-time television shows.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, the youngsters kept their word and didn't vote off Marty.  They took his main pal Jill instead.

Next week...smells like a merge!
