Coach Mans Up, The Silver Fox Strikes Again, And James is Buttered Up

I watched Survivor super late last night. Had a friend over for dinner, so had to watch Survivor at like, 11:30. Darn socializing getting in the way of my TV watching. So hopefully I can remember a little of what happened.

Coach started the show off by blubbering to Tyson about something that Sandra said at the Tribal Council... "I did noble things out here and I look ignoble." Really? What has he done that's noble, first of all? And ignoble? Not exactly. Tyson tells him straight up that people mock him about his tai chi, and his stories ("Whaaaaaaaat? No one believes my stories?") and that maybe he should keep that stuff down to a dull roar. The next morning, Coach decides to quit being such a baby after a pep talk from Boston Rob who tells him to man up. Hee. Back to his true self, he tells us that he is one of a kind.... "King Arthur. Last of the Mohicans." Riiiiiiight.

PRODUCT PLACEMENT ALERT. The reward is some stuff from Sears. I'm not a big fan of the whole shopping from Sears while in the middle of the South Pacific....ummm... "surviving" but hey, a show's gotta make some money somehow, right?

The reward challenge was awesome. The teams must throw themselves down a banana slide covered in canola oil to get a ball to throw in a basket. Fun! I was told I could quote poolster Lori who said that "James should pretty much be oiled up all the time." Thoughts? Anyway, the villains won and got some sort of fishing gear or something.... (I think they should have gotten a sports bra for Danielle, but that's just me.)

Both teams find a note saying there's an immunity idol at their camps. Russell of course goes off to find it immediately, making himself immediately targeted by B.Rob and Sandra who for some reason figure people shouldn't look for the idol? B.Rob says "Russell is like the Hobbit on crack...." which is pretty funny. Tom finds the idol at the Heroes camp & Amanda sees him stuff it into his sock, so of course tells everyone that he has it. Of course he found it! He's the Silver Fox!! As if he wouldn't find it.

Boston Rob kicked butt at the immunity challenge and the villains won again. Everyone knows Tom has the idol, so they figure they should vote half-half for Tom & Colby & that way one of them will go. Tom, meanwhile, tries to convince JT & Amanda that he'll give them the idol if they need it... and JT figures maybe Candice should get voted out. Amanda goes and blabs again to Cirie about the plan to oust Candice & Cirie (rightfully) throws a fit at Amanda, which is overheard by JT. Following? At Tribal Council Rupert tells Jeff that he'd rather keep his word than vote out someone he thinks SHOULD be voted out (whaaaaaat?) which pretty much makes Jeff want to send Rupert home on the spot. (Well, OK... I don't know that, but I think that's what I would think if I were Jeff.) The Silver Fox plays the immunity idol (clever, right? Now he doesn't have to keep his word to Amanda & JT....) and so the votes for Tom don't count. Presumably there were 3 votes for Tom and supposed to be 3 votes for Colby.... but JT switched his vote and went for Cirie with Tom & Colby. Hee. Brilliant move, because Cirie is brilliant... just not brilliant enough to know when someone's lurking in the bushes.

Hey, and you know what's interesting? No one who's won the million dollars has been voted out yet. What's up with that? Next week it looks like Russell's in trouble... which makes me think they want me to think that... so he's probably not.
