Dave Ball! Gets Outwitted By a Muppet




Soooooooooo goooooooood!

If you missed it, there were TWO people voted off last night. Not at once, but like they squished two episodes together. No reward challenge, just immunity challenges and vote, vote. Someone said something about the 'family' episode... which MUST be coming up next. They always have the family members come out & make everyone cry. It should be next. Will Russell cry? I think no.... You?

In the meantime... Jaison won the first immunity challenge (bowling...) Shambo could not hide her glee when Dave Ball! didn't win. And she didn't hold a grudge vs. Russell for last week's Shambo/John blindside. BUT, she wanted Dave Ball! gone now. It looked for a bit like Russell was thinking of voting off Shambo instead, but it was just a ploy to make Dave Ball! feel better. Even Monica & Brett (who?) voted for him.

Monica tried her best to get under Russell's skin. It worked for a bit - Russell found out that someone had told the others that he's a millionaire & got mad at Natalie, then Jaison (it was indeed Jaison who told - remember?) But not to worry - they kept with the original plan.

I have to say I'm going to miss Dave. Well, not really exactly. I'm going to miss Jeff calling him Dave Ball! (Did any of you ever watch Arrested Development? Reminds me of Steve Holt. Right? Hee. Steve Holt!) And truly, for the guy who's supposed to be the smartest guy ever on Survivor (IQ-wise), he wasn't a very smart player. And what the what was with Dave Ball!'s hairdo when he showed up on the jury?? Wow, that was some serious Herbal Essence a la Kim Mitchell. Yowza. And poolster Lori thought he was wearing a skirt (sarong?), though I missed it. Oh Dave Ball! you are quite the earth mother.

So then there was another immunity challenge and Brett won it! Crazy - the dude finally did something!! And just in time, 'cause he would have been next otherwise. Have decided Brett may really be a muppet. Take a closer look next time. It explains a lot, really. Doesn't talk much... smiles all the time.... designs T-shirts.... seriously.

I had no idea who was going home. It looked like Monica. But there was talk amongst even Jaison & Mick about not entirely trusting Russell. (see: Mick's Russell/Snake analogy from last time.) They show up at Tribal Council and before Jeff can even say anything, Russell takes out the immunity idol & puts it around his neck! Delightful! Wasn't it hard to watch? He's gotten so cocky.... and I thought maybe he'll play it.... I couldn't watch! He didn't play it! And Monica sitting there with that stupid smirk on her face & talking about how she's gotten to Russell and how she'll tell the jury all about him blah, blah, blah. She deserves to get voted out just for the smirk.

So I think if Russell is smart, he'll take Shambo to the final two. Those girls will never vote for Shambo, no matter how they hate Russell. They'd vote for Natalie 'cause she's a girl. They'd vote for Jaison 'cause he's nice. They'd vote for Mick 'cause he's handsome. Brett won't be there probably unless he keeps winning muppet-immunity. Erik, John & Dave Ball! just know they were outplayed, and not by Shambo. The only kink in the plan could seriously come if Russell has to go up against the muppet in final two. That'll be tough. He's Galu with lots of friends on the jury, he's smiling all the time, and he'll likely break into a song in the final tribal council. How do you top that if you're Russell?

  1. You are the funniest and most clever poolster girl ever!!!!

    I love the muppet theory, although I am thinking it might be more than that!!! He does have that silly smile like Kermit all the time!!!!

    Now I want him to win just to see if he does break out into a dance and song finale... he!he!he!
