OK, where to start? Loads of funny things to discuss from last night's episode. Hmmm.... let's start with who's getting really, really annoying. Well, that's pretty much the entire Heroes team, right? I mean really... James is just mean. He's great to look at, especially when he's all coated in margarine, but he's mean. So he blows out his knee in the reward challenge, which by the way, was awesome.... not the knee-blowing, but the challenge. They had to scramble in a pit for a ball, leading to tackling and wrestling naturally... then pass the ball to their teammates on a platform, who would then try to get the ball into a tiny basket. Sorta basketball meets football meets rugby meets UFC. James knee went sideways, he had to leave the challenge. Rupert pulled a caveman maneuvre and threw Jerri into the boards face first, then says "Are you OK? I totally didn't mean to do that." Right. Then Jerri won the challenge! Laaaaaa! So fun.
Bringing me to my next most annoying.... Rupert. Do you agree with me yet? He's not the lovable tie-dyed doofus.... he's just a doofus. With some issues to work out.
Next most annoying hero.... Colby. So the reward challenge was a feast of chocolate - not at all for the lactose intolerant. So Jeff brings out a little plate of TINY bits of chocolate to taste before the challenge. Yay, right? Jerri just about explodes with happiness right there. But nope, Colby won't even taste it. Jeff: "You won't even tast it?" Colby: "Nope, let's get to the challenge." Jeff: "We'll get to the challenge when I'm good and ready." Ooooooooh. Snap. THEN, the best part of it all, Jeff asks who's going to sit out for the challenge. It's COLBY! So why can't you taste the chocolate again? Sigh.... Colby needs to lose a bit of the "intensity" because we'll all start liking him a little more for it. Also, said intensity isn't really helping win the challenges, is it? Nope.
So with James all getting checked out by the medics, his team wasn't sure if he'd make it back. Of course they don't want to lose him... especially our next (and possibly MOST) annoying Survivor, Amanda. She can't stop it with the puppy-dog sad face. It's like we've all gone for a car-ride and left her at home in the window. She was crying and whimpering that maybe James wouldn't come back and she wouldn't know what to do. She needs Boston Rob to tell her to Man Up. I mean, even Parvati wouldn't sink so low. Ugh. When James did come back, she ran to him down the beach. Say it with me.... "Ugh".....
Meanwhile, at the less annoying and more amusing Villains camp, the whole team tried Coach's "you-can't-even-google-it" tai chi craziness. They played along and it was funny to watch Sandra and Courtney try to not giggle... I mean, they have a lot of time to kill out there, you'd probably give it a try too. Well, unless you're Russell. Russell, instead of playing along, went looking for the immunity idol. And he found it of course. King Russell is forgetting that there's a social aspect to the game and that by not playing nice with his tribe, he's completely alienating himself. Now, he goes and tells Parvati of course that he found it. She assures him, "I'm not riding anyone's coattails." Riiiiiiiight. Then he brilliantly tells Coach, who will fall for ANYTHING if you stroke his ego. Russell actually "knighted" Coach, who bent down in front of Russell on one knee. Seriously, dude, that's sad. Coach is not on Survivor to win a million bucks. Coach is on Survivor to be liked. Somebody like me, PLEASE!!! Pathetic.
Next week Boston Rob & Russell are going to have a contest to see who can pee further. Well, not exactly, but you get it. It's a showdown and there can only be one alpha dog. (Lots of dog references today, non?) It'll be great & I sorta hope Boston Rob comes out on top, if only to see Parvati make a sad face and have to find somebody else's coattails... er... make a new alliance.
As soon as I saw that the immunity challenge involved a puzzle I thought, Oh dear, the Heroes are screwed. And true to form, they started off with a good lead, then lost it in the puzzle. Hee. The first part of the challenge involved the team being blindfolded and led to puzzle pieces by a caller. Always funny to see poor, blindfolded people running into stuff, but loved Boston Rob running around with his hands protecting his manhood - don't forget, he'll do anything for Ambah. Hee.
So the vote depended on JT. He could vote off James - the obvious choice in a lot of ways. James has a busted knee and will be reasonably useless in challenges. Plus he's mean. But JT made an early pact with James & Amanda and since he voted against them last time figured he'd better vote with 'em this time (and all the flip-flopping is getting annoying, right?) So it was time to say goodbye to the Silver Fox, Tom Westman. As much as I find Tom one of the least annoying of the Heroes (which is probably what did him in), it was time for him to go. He's already won a million bucks and it's about time they start sending home the former winners.
