First of all, can I just ask that somebody please buy Amanda some pants. For the love of Pete, the girl has no PANTS! The (straight) males amongst you may disagree, but seriously, I'm sick of seeing her run around in her panties.
OK, next. Right. What else do you need to know about last night's episode besides Amanda's (lack of) pants? Well, you need to know that the Villains suck the house down without Boston Rob. They are bad. They have no good leadership. They are not good at challenges, and they pretty much don't like each other. To quote Sandra, "I can't stand Russell, I hate Coach, I hate Danielle even more...." I think the list was actually longer. Am starting to really adore Sandra. We'll talk more about her later.
The Heroes, meantime, are having a love-fest. Sort of. Well, they get along with each other. And it shows - they're winning challenges. They've got the mo. (In this case, mo = momentum. We like to use this term at my house during hockey games. When a team scores or there's a big fight or something, it can shift the mo, and the team who has the mo usually can win it. The Calgary Flames lately have had no mo, for example. Follow?) The only one causing a bit of a rhubarb over in the Heroes camp is JT. Dude goes and finds the immunity idol on his own, after proclaiming last time that the whole team was going to look for it together. Riiiiiight. Amanda, pantsless and all, decides to follow him and catches him in the act. He pretends he was planning all along to share it with the team and he does, while Candice & Pantsless share a sideways glance and talk about the fact that he's sneaky.
The Villains figure there's going to be a merge and dissemble their whole camp. Nope. (Oh that Jeff. So funny.) It's just a reward challenge for pizza & brownies. In a moment of complete idiocy, the Villains figure that Courtney & Sandra will sit out the challenge, which is bowling. Meaning that they will have to participate in the next challenge, which will probably be a tougher, more physical one, which Courtney & Sandra will suck at. Right? Coach wants pizza. So, naturally, they lose the challenge and everyone is mad. Sandra stands up for herself. "Why are you guys mad at me because YOU lost?" Way to go, girlfriend. More on that later.
Then of course the immunity challenge was an over/under obstacle course in mud. Rupert's beard caked in mud was ummmmm.... gross. And again, I'm sure the girl in mud without pants was a big hit with a certain segment of the population... And of course the Villains lost. Why? Because of Courtney and Sandra of course. Sandra just doesn't have the energy to keep up and Courtney, well... she's made of twigs. She at least really tries hard, but a light wind knocks her over. So everyone was mad & figured the weakling girl should go. Right?
Wrong. Clever Sandra has been watching. She has noticed that whoever is on the outs with Russell is always the next to go home. So she put the bug in Russell's ear that Coach was gunning for him. "Oh yeah, Coach has been talking about how voting Boston Rob off was the wrong thing to do and how you should be the next to go, Russell." Hee hee. And she did it without at all seeming like she was acting. It was an awesome sight. And of course Russell ate it up. Then Danielle got mad at Russell (bad idea) because she wants Courtney gone. Danielle is very competitive. (Which makes me wonder if at some point there was a competition with someone to see who has bigger boobs in a bikini.) Anyways, for a bit it looked like she had swayed Russell to vote out Courtney.
At Tribal Council Jeff pointed out how bad Courtney is a challenges. "Thanks, Jeffery," she snarked back. Hee. Which brings me to my rant about Courtney... Her tribe constantly sits her out in challenges. Then they get mad when she doesn't jump up & down to be in challenges. If you're in Survivor and people order you around all the time, clearly your role is to do what you're told. Why the heck would she offer to do challenges. If I were her, I'd be the same... just tell me what you want me to do & I'll do it. She never says she doesn't want to do the challenges. Ugh. Anyways, it's maddening, and I loved when she said that picking on her doesn't make them win challenges & that she's a "determined little bitch" who's made it longer than a lot of other people who are good at challenges. Hee.
In the end, Coach went home, dumbfounded. He's the first jury member. Russell actually voted for Courtney, but don't think he didn't know that he had enough votes for Coach. The only reason he voted Courtney was to keep Jerri's alliance. Courtney is starting to come up with some great lines, like calling Coach a lunatic at her vote. It's all a delightful spectacle and I'm looking forward to seeing more of Courtney & Sandra vs. Russell and that virus, Parvati. And as much as I liked Coach, we really didn't get to see the ridiculousness we did on his other seasons. There were no great Coachisms. He really was a tiny, little man this time out & I figure he deserved to get voted out for his stupidity last show. Right? It's supposed to be about the best players ever, right? And with that, the Dragonslayer rides off into the sunset.....
