Survivor: A Closer Look (or How to Not Call a Rerun a Rerun)
Quiet week on the Islands as there was no tribal council. The fate of the next to go is held until next week.
Probably a nod to the artist formerly known as America's Pastime (the World Series was on last night). C'mon though, who really cares about the Cardinals? Geez.
This was a chance to catch our breath and get caught up on the votes of the Cook Islands season. We also got a little bit of new footage that at least kept us hanging around through all the commercials.
The Dunder Twins, Adam and Candice, nearly freezing out in the water (while the rest of the tribe was living warm and easy on the beach)
Stephannie gracing us all with a very nice voice by the fireside.
Stephannie also getting very faded on a little tiny bit of wine - good times. Turns out the feud between Christina, Jenny and Adam ran a little deeper than we were led to believe.
Otherwise, the game moves ever onward towards one eventual survivor. Of course though, we still had plenty to say.

Yippee Kai Ai Cao Boi, and Get Along Christina
This week it's Brawl on the Beach! No rabbit punches, no fish hooking, no groin punching, no choke holds, no hair pulling - wait, forget all that, just scrap - LET'S GET IT ON!
After a spirited game of drag and beat, Aitu wins another challenge. Not before Christina nearly dispensed some straight up island justice and Ozzy got tossed around like a bag of dirty laundry though. In yet another giddy-up twist, both tribes had to vote a member out. Winning means nothing, it is only survival.
The inevitable set in as Christina was voted out of Raro. After last week's sell-out job by Adam, we knew it was only a matter of time. On the other island though, Aitu showed its complete lack of experience with a tribal council as their wheelings and dealings were utterly inept. In the end, the man with the Voodoo Plan was the man packing his saddle bags.
Mr. Glenn Campbell, please send our wonderboy Cao Boi home with your melodic song stylings (listen to the show, this will all make sense, trust me).
Two more gone, and then there were 13.
Oh! We didn't get to it this week, but is Jenny kind of a bitch, or what? Drawing a gun shooting at Christina's name? Shady! The woman has been shot for real. Oh Jenny dear, hate won't get you far in this game.

Sayonnara Steph, Enjoy the Potatoes
Another victim falls to the tribal council. Last night, Stephanie got her walking papers and Raro thins out again.
In a wonderful stroke of backstabbing and general nastiness though, we had the fun of Nate throwing Christina under the bus at the council. Nothing like a great blind side when tensions are already running high. Thank you Nate. Maybe getting 'faded' helped loosen our boy Nate up.
Cao Boi is still a jackass and he's making more friends everyday (maybe). Can't wait to see his fate after the merge.
And hopefully Jonathan caused the ground under Yul to crack a bit with his revelation of the idol being gone. And how pissed is the next poor sucker that goes to exile island? I mean really, it's bad enough that you are stuck on that dump, but now you're stuck on that shitty island knowing you won't find the idol. Sucker.
Haha! Bring us more!
That's it from the island this week. Check you later. (and can someone send more beer? I'm almost out)

Arrivederci J.P.
Back to the beaches pal, just not the beaches of Cook Islands. Go smack your balls around somewhere else. (Volleyballs people! He's a volleyball player!)
In a delightful move of backroom bargaining and deal making, J.P. got a world class gut punch has team Raro snuffed his flame and sent him packing. In fact, everyone but Nate turned on him. (Oh yeah, Nate, those are footsteps and whispers you're hearing behind you. Careful friend)
Oscar (Ozzy) could be working on a new nickname after last nights performance. Something like Otter, or Aquaman. Yul went a little far with Poseidon, but hey, a little ego juice never hurts on this show.
Jonathan showed us all a little heart when he caressed the little boobie.
And on top of busting the bad winds, Cao Boi apparently knows VooDoo fire magic?! As long as he stays out of the trees, we should be ok. Lord have mercy though, it looks like someone is chapping Cao Boi's hide next week. I hate to see what he does when he's angry!
We'll all have to wait with worm on tongue until next week!
