So some fundamental truths about the universe were revealed on last night's Survivor. First, that there ARE indeed mysterious things hidden in Shambo's hair (Russell: "She's got bits of chicken and coconut and who knows what else up there...") and second, that muppets are very, very sneaky. It's the shifty eyes that are little black dots.... you can't trust 'em.
So back to Shambo's hair for a minute. The show started off with the Muppet giving Shambo a scalp massage. 'Kay. Was anyone else totally grossed out by that, or was it just me? I'm with Russell - I think there are scary things hidden in there. Plus, they have been there for like, 33 days or something without showers & shampoo. Ew, right? So, because I think muppets are sneaky, I believe Brett was actually looking for hidden treasure, or a clue to the game, or maybe some food. Plus, he's sticking with his 'be nice to everybody' plan of action. Also re: Hair. Did you love Jeff Probst asking Shambo how long she's had that hairstyle? Hee. "Since 1986," she says proudly. "That's commitment," says Jeff. Hee.
Seriously, if the muppet gets to the end, he will win this thing. The guy who didn't say ANYTHING until episode 12!! Did they edit it that way just to throw us off? Make us think, nooooo, there's no way THAT guy would win. He might win. And use his million dollars to design more crappy t-shirts... or perhaps further world muppet-domination.
Sorry, I digress. I'm seriously worried that he'll beat my Russell. I called it ages ago that Russell would win and I don't like to be proved wrong... it's keeping me up nights.
In the reward challenge, some eyebrows were raised when Natalie picked the muppet first for her team. They're cozy, she likes him, he quotes the Bible to her... but she's sticking with Russell. She's smart & wants that million bucks. During the challenge, Natalie made her team (Muppet & Mick) hold hands as "prayer warriors" so that God might guide their hands to win reward. Ummm.... I think God's got bigger fish to fry, Natalie. Just sayin'. And as it turned out, God was indeed too busy with the war in Iraq to help her team. Russell, Jaison & Shambo won a day out with the locals. It was kinda touching when Shambo made a toast to the locals thanking them for putting on such a good feast. Not embarassing like I thought it would be. Sometimes, she's OK.... and truly I liked Shambo so much more than any of those other girls (Laura, Monica, Kelly....)
Then the Muppet won immunity. Gah! How does that happen? Come ON Foa Foa Four! Seriously. So they told Shambo the plan was to vote for Mick. They told Mick the plan was to vote for Shambo. And even though the clever editors made it look like there might be some thinking to be done, there wasn't. Those 4 are tight. Shambo was next to go. True, it would be better to take Shambo to the final, but no one wants to be the jerk to go against his/her word on their tight alliance. Those guys can't afford any more votes against on the jury.
Speaking of the jury, if you haven't been watching Ponderosa, you MUST do it. Every time someone is voted out to the jury, there is a video posted of their first few days at Ponderosa, which is the place they get to stay. If you're a Survivor junkie, it's a cool insight into how the game works on the other side (like they have to wear these black hooded cloaks when they get voted off until they get to Ponderosa to prevent spoilers) and also, there's just some extra gold going on over there. If you watch anything, watch Dave Ball's vids. Very funny stuff. (Go to the Survivor CBS website, and go to videos, find the ones marked Ponderosa.)
One more day! GAH! Don't forget to watch on SUNDAY! Will it be Russell or the Muppet? How am I going to sleep until then?
