11 are left, who will be voted out tonight?
Night 21: After TC we open with MFBB saying he wants a chocolate chip cookie with peanut butter on it. What does this have to do with the game? Absolutely nothing. But MFBB gets like 3 words in an episode so I gotta include him when I can.
* Happy sigh *
Moving on... Russell defends his use of the HII but knows he has a huge target on his back now. Laura says that TC was perfect because Russell played the idol and Erik is gone. I have no real reason to hate Laura but I do. She tells us Russell will be gone next. Okay, Godfather. Err. Godmother.
If you keep making that face it will stick that way.. oh too late.
Day 22. Natalie clad in a bikini (that really makes her look naked from a distance) is out for a walk and encounters a rat. She realizes it's something to eat and she beats the thing with a stick. Seriously, how she did that I have no idea. I freak out when I have to kill a roach the size of a nickel. A freaking rodent!? Props to Natalie. Who is hilariously exclaiming "Oh my word" every five seconds clearly in disbelief she just killed a rat and put it in a coconut to bring back to camp. Everyone is shocked. Jaison says she came into this game the southern belle and how proud he is of how much she has changed in 20-some days. I immediately worry for Natalie because this is a little too much background information. MFBB cooks the rat (first small strike) and they all enjoy it. Apparently it tastes like chicken but that would not entice me enough to eat a rat though.
Sunshine Killing
Mick and Russ go to get treemail about the reward challenge. Russ looks around for the HII on Galu since I guess no one knew Erik had it. He is determined to find it knowing his survival depends on it.
Challenge: Two teams of five will race to untie a series of poles with white and black coconuts and then set them up so that the white coconuts form a four digit number. Then a blindfolded member will have to use only their sense of touch to put the same number on a combination lock and unlock it to raise a flag. Who comes up with these things? Second best job on Survivor behind shooting random scenery. Reward: Picnic at a rock slide.
Teams: Mick, Jaison, Russ, Laura, MFBB on yellow. Shambo, Kelly, Spacey, Monica, John on purple. Natalie is left out so she chooses to cheer for yellow since it's all old FF members. If they win, she gets to go along on the reward.
I like to call this juxtaposition
Shambo is clearly slowing her team up. Shocker. MFBB and Mick are partnered together and I did not know so much goodness could exist in this world. Jaison runs really hunched over. Spacey is picking up the slack for Shambo. The teams are pretty much neck and neck and are trying to form the four digit number. Spacey takes control of his team and figures out the number: 4673. Monica is the blindfolded one for her team. She is shaking so badly. Poor girl is so nervous. Yellow team gets theirs: 7346. I guess those are the only four numbers the producers could make, huh? Laura is the blindfolded one for her team and she gets to work. Monica is shaking and there is an unfortunate shot of her booty shaking as well. She probably did not appreciate at that come air time. Monica gets it and purple (which was all Galu members) wins reward. Poor FF just cannot win to save their lives.
Reward: They slide down some waterfall rocks which frankly looks painful. John says the rock slides are "killer" but not in the way I'm thinking. I'd be chilling in the water, that's for sure. Kelly tells us how much fun she had. They get to enjoy lunch (where Monica says the donuts are re-donk-culous cause she is super lame but thinks shes super cool for using three year old lingo) and they get a clue about another HII being back at camp. The decide to only tell Galu members about the clue. Unfortunately Shambo is there too so FF will be finding out.
Cheers to being around til the end! BFF!
They start to talk about which FF member is going next. Kelly wants Russ gone and Shambo says no because "he sucks in challenges". Uh, really Shambo? Really? Jeff called you out for slowing up the team. I realize she is just trying to protect Russ but at least make it believable. Like, you could easily win against Russ in the final two cause everyone hates him. Better argument.
Cut to Russ at camp saying he is here to win (really, here I thought you just wanted to starve and get bug bites and sleep in the rain) and if he finds the HII he isn't going to tell a soul. He searches around treemail, the well, and the bridge which makes perfect sense cause the producers can't put it in the middle of absolute nowhere so it has to be at a landmark. I mean, I don't care for Russ but I'll give credit where credit is due: He has a good plan. And are you freaking kidding me?! Russ finds ANOTHER HII with no clues underneath the bridge. He freaks out and talks some smack the camera about it being too easy and he just traded some fried chicken and brownies for a second chance at a million dollars.
Russ shows Shambo his HII and she can't believe it, and rightly so. Shambo kisses him on the cheek and I shield my eyes and cover my mouth. She says she trusts him "impeccably" and I know she is trying to sound smart but that makes no sense. She also said "implicitly" trusts Russ last week so maybe she only studied the "i" part of the dictionary for smart words. Their plan is to get Galu to vote for Russ and he will play the HII and they will vote for Laura given she doesn't win immunity. If she does, they will vote for Kelly since they think Monica will dig her own grave with the boys so they don't need to waste time voting her off now.
Immunity challenge: Each person will use a grappling hook to retrieve two bags of puzzle pieces. The first three to do so move on to the next round where they have to put the peg in a huge board with different shapes. Each time they put the right peg in, another one drops down and they will keep doing so until the puzzle is complete. Simple enough.
Natalie: Maybe I can keep this hook and use it to kill another small woodland creature later
Monica and Laura have ridiculous flowers tucked behind their ears. Shambo, Mick, Kelly, MFBB all have bags. Mick is onto the final round. Jaison, Laura, Russ get their first bags. Shambo gets bag number 2 so she's in. It's a race between Laura and Russell for the second bag. And Russ loses his like six inches away from the finish line! Ahh!
Maybe another HII will be attached to this since, you know, they just seem to find me where ever I go!
So it's Mick, Shambo, and Laura in the final round. Shambo and Mick are getting started while Laura is still trying to untie her bag. Unfortunately Laura gets it untied and then is like clockwork and starts getting all of her pieces in fast. I mean, we all played that game with the yellow pieces when we were little when you tried to put them in the right spot before the timer ran out and it made the game jump and mess up all of your work. I want to say it was called concentration but google is telling me I'm wrong. But hopefully you know what I am talking about. ANYWAY, Laura runs away with the challenge and wins immunity, again. Super. I don't understand why Mick didn't win. Where is he a doctor? Did he obtain his medical license online? Why aren't you winning these easy challenges Mick!?! You are athletic and smart. Get your act together or I will be cheering exclusively for MFBB.
Team Mick! For now at least...
Day 24: Back at camp, Shambo whines about how her heart is broken since they can't vote off Laura. Russ tells Jaison he found the HII and Jaison says he deserves it. Jaison tells the rest of FF about the HII and they need to keep promoting voting Russ so that way they won't vote off a different FF member if they catch wind of Russ having the idol. Smart plan. Jaison says he is really beginning to love Russell and you know what, I almost agree. Mick says he is excited because he is sick of the patronizing attitude that Galu has and it will be nice to knock them down a few notches.
Spacey, John, Monica and Laura are talking about the order they are voting out the remaining FF members. Monica, shockingly, suggests they factor in what they would do if a FF member finds an idol. Spacey says they can't worry about that now since FF supposedly doesn't know that there is another idol. John says someone probably is looking for it since "it's not rocket science", reminding us that yes, John, you are smart and you are a rocket scientist. Russ starts walking by and they all shut up and stare at each other. Smooth guys. Russ overhears Natalie's name and he is now confused if he should play it.
Spacey: Shhh. Russell is coming. Oh, what a beautiful day!!
John: We aren't talking about Tribal Council where we are going to vote you out.
Monica: So what did everyone think about the latest episode of The Hills?
Laura: Pfft. He totally has no idea we were talking about him. Team Galu? Try Team Awesomely Clever!
Spacey, Monica, Laura, and John are annoying. They say once all of FF is gone they will kill one of their chickens since they are the team that won them. I understand but just shut up. Notice MFBB isn't there cause he is a good person! Well that or he the least involved in making decision with his alliance meaning he will go sooner. Noooo!
TC: Erik is brought in as the first jury member and he is walking awkwardly, holding his necklace and attempting a swagger or something. I read on Probst's blog that Erik was just so into the game and being on his team that he never really started playing an individual game. His necklace is purple so maybe he is trying to show that he is so committed to the team. Or maybe he is just weird. I don't know.
You douchebags.
Spacey and Kelly say that their tribe is still strong but Erik was a snake and that's why he is gone even though he was a Galu member. Erik is literally biting his tongue in order to not say anything. There is lots of talk about the tribes still being divided and Mick says that Galu should look at FF as four individual votes that can help some of the Galu members out later on in the game. Spacey says that the next most dangerous person is going next and that's based on several criteria. The tricky editors than pan to Jaison when he says physical ability, to Mick for mental toughness, Russ for strategic acumen. What about Natalie's attributions? Guess they will keep her around since she kills small rodents.
Time to vote. None are shown. Jeff does his dumb "go tally the votes" speech and then asks if anyone has the HII. Russell then stands up and it is just awesome. Spacey is absolutely shocked, Erik is pumped over on the sidelines, Monica looks like she pooped her pants, and Laura is pissed. Even Shambo is trying to look all shocked even though she knew. Nice Sham, I'll throw a little credit your way for that. "I ain't finished playing just yet. Keep hope alive" says Russell. I. LOVE. IT. Seven votes for Russell are all void. First new vote is: Kelly! She knows it's game over the second she sees it. Three votes later, she is out of the game.
Aw crap.
Laura is just glaring at FF memberts. Poor Kelly did get blindsided but seriously, who was she? I don't even know. See ya blondie!
Game over.
Laura says "he just stirred up a whole lot of hell is what he did". What the heck? What is FF suppose to do? Lay down and die? If I was on an outnumbered team, I'd be doing everything in my power to stay in the game. You were going to vote Russell out Laura, sorry he foiled your little plan. Gosh I really hate Laura and am starting to love Russell, at least a little. What am I thinking? Maybe I have swine flu or something. Oh and Shambo acts all pissed off and nods to Laura's comment. Nice again, Shambo. Who knew you were an actress?
How dare you not just accept you were about to be voted off and lose the chance to win a million dollars! You've got a lot of nerve little man.
We are told that the HII will go back into the game. Now, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I like FF way more than Galu (MFBB aside) but really, how many chances can they get? If Russell finds it for a third time, I'm calling shenanigans.
Next week on * slight pause * Survivor: Every one is running around trying to find the idol, with Spacey and Laura actually chasing Russ and Jaison to see if they find it. In the words of Monica Gellar: It. Just. Got. Interesting!
