SURVIVOR
Sorry for the delay, things pass slower on the island. Good news, you get back to back days with Survivor Reviews. Bad news, some of you don't like the Survivor Reviews. Worse news, SPOILERS!!
Last Week on... SURVIVOR
Team Ozzie:
Ozzie
Alexis
Amanda
Cirie
Erik
Team Who:
Natalie
Ami
Eliza
James
Jason
Parvati
Team Ozzie returns to camp after voting out Tracy with Ozzie still muttering about not being the leader of the tribe. No offense Ozzie, but look to your right. Now look to your left. Do you see anyone else leading this rag tag group? Guess that makes you the leader.
Later that night, Ami and Cirie go crab hunting to get some meat. It's just crabs, but you'd think Ami was slaying dragons the way she's screaming as she flails away with her machete.
While Team Ozzie is losing all the time and eating crab, Team Who? is winning but eating rat. That's right, rat. Jason, aka "Young Bon Jovi", spots a rat near the camp while the rest of the group is dreaming about food. Crushing it with an oar, he proceeds to HANG IT UP BY IT'S PAWS. It's hilarious and sad at the same time, which makes it all the more hilarious. Despite his rat squashing ways, Parvati still thinks he's a loser. Probably because he didn't know her name during the pick-'em. Of course, he WAS dumb enough to take Ozzie's fake idol, so she might be right. James, meanwhile, thinks they're all losers for being stuck on this island. "This is where they bring criminals," states James.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!
Whu-what? That came out of nowhere. *sniff* *sniff* I smell drama later on.
The Immunity Challenge has two twists. 1) Each team gets to select someone from the other team to send to Exile Isle rather than let them compete in the challenge. 2) The person they send to Exile Isle is given individual immunity for that night's tribal council. Oh, and who ever wins gets food, so that has them pretty excited as well.
Now, here's what I would do:
If I were on Team Ozzie, I would pick Eliza. She's nimble, clever and has good balance. So it'd be good to have her out. Plus, she's not well liked, so if they LOSE she'd probably get the chop, so by giving her immunity, you force them to cut someone else.
If I were on Team Who?, I'd pick Erik. He's quick and he's a tough competitor. Plus, if Team Ozzie loses (and odds are good) then he's protected, and then the Favorites HAVE to turn on themselves and cut someone.
Erik says he hopes he can survive the challenge. Having seen the preview, yeah, you BETTER hope you survive the challenge, son.
Everyone arrives and we find out that no one listens to Matt. Instead of Erik and Eliza, they sit out Ozzie and James, wait, Not James, Alexis, who I will no refer to as "Not James".
The challenge has 5 balance segments that two players from each team will race across and back bringing back 5 flags. The other two players will have weighted bags that they will swing at the players, trying to knock them down. If a player falls, they have to go all the way back to the start and the next person will go. Oh, and the winner gets pizza and beer. Is that rain, or is everyone just drooling? ... ew, that's gross. I really hope it's rain.
Young Jason Bon Jovi and Eliza go up against Erik and Amanda. Both Jason and Erik fly across the course the first time, then both Eliza and Amanda fall, so Jason and Erik go again. Erik is leaping across the first balance segment landing awkwardly each time. I keep waiting for the big hit shown in the previews. Jason and Eliza are now almost done. That is to say, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-O! THEY'RE HALF WAY THERRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!! Finally the moment we've all waited for, Erik leaps for the platform and slams chest first into it, dropping into the mud. Jason races back with the last flag, leaving both Erik's sternum and hopes crushed.
We get to see Team Who enjoy their pizza party, but not much comes from it, other than James, who is capable of all things, has added "Open Bottles With Teeth" to his resume.
We then jump to Exile Island where Ozzie is helping Not James work her way through the immunity idol clues. Ozzie knows the idol's been found (cause he found it), but wants to see if anyone has found the fake idol he left in it's place (yes, it was Jason). They get to the last clue and Ozzie is trying his best to let Alexis find the spot on her own, but finally he goes "maybe it'd be here" and picks up the rock to find... nothing. And there was much rejoicing for Ozzie.
The rest of the episode sits at Camp Ozzie as Erik and Ami take turns selling each other out to anyone that'll listen. That's basically all that happens for the last 15 minutes. Erik pulls the old "Gut Spill", where someone on the chopping block just starts sharing everyone's secrets. It didn't work for Shii Ann and I don't think it's going to work this time. All it really does is make Ami cry, and then wave a machete in Erik's face while talking really, really calmly to Erik. Toooooo calmly.
Cirie doesn't know who to trust, because she doesn't actually trust either of them. Ozzie learns from Erik that Ami was part of not one, but two plots to oust him. Ozzie doesn't take backstabbing well. I still remember him yelling at Jonathon "THAT'S what happens to Traitors" after Jonathon mutinied in Survivor: Cook Island (and then proceeded to be on the losing team in that challenge). So it could go either way at-
TRIBAL COUNCIL!
"4 Times In a Row" are the first words out of Probst's mouth. "Well, hi Jeff, how are you? We're doing well." In the next breath he also calls them "the inferior team." Wow, Jeff, how do you really feel? Ami cries, Ozzie accuses, Erik tries to save his neck. The votes come in, Ami... Erik... Ami... are we going to see a tie? No! Ami gets 3 of the 4 votes and is sent packing.
BONADUCE SLAM!
Why? If I had to guess it's because non-leader Ozzie told them he wants to keep Erik around. You know, maybe if they HAD a leader, they wouldn't have lost 4 immunity challenges in a row.

NEXT WEEK!
Merger! Amanda is jealous of Ozzie and Not James! And this sure-to-be-classic dialogue between Eliza and Jason.
Eliza- It's not the idol.
Jason- It IS the idol.
Eliza- It's NOT the idol.
Jason- Why do you say that?
Eliza- Because THAT CAN'T be the idol.
Jason- Why not?
Eliza- Cause it's just a STICK.
