All kinds of venom being shot Dreamz way. An interesting character, to say the least. The longer I have to think about this guy, the more I think he's a candidate for a VH1 reality show. Just put him in somewhat difficult or uncomfortable social situations and watch him try to work out of it. If he gets clear and no one has any idea how he did it, Dreamz wins $5,000. If someone can see through it, they win (or if it's a group effort, they share the 5K). Call it "Win Dreamz Money".

Or something. Does it seem like I was hoping for a little bit more from last night? At least we got a really juvenile, hate filled inquisition by the jury. I don't think it accomplished anything, other than allowing them to pop off, but it was the best 10 minutes of the show.

Without further delay, enjoy the finale of BuffsOff!

Stacy is gone because Stacy is stupid.

The car challenge returned to the Fiji Islands and Yau won a big ass truck. No, a really big ass truck. Since the conniving little weasel is a generous one, he convinced Dreamz to sell his soul, and his shot at a million for the really big ass truck.

Boo could smell the sweet diesel fumes, only to have them snatched away by the little neo-yoda.

Allegiances have flipped and bridges could be burning. It all ends on Sunday!

In a very special episode of BuffsOff, Ryan from the Blog joins us on the show (but we don't confront teen drug use, destructive friendships, or inappropriate touching - sorry)

Even though we're guessing the majority of fandom is begging for something to blow this show up, we were treated to another predictable vote on the islands last night. If nothing else though, Alex showed some real heart trying to stay in the game.

Complete, complete side note, and a topic that clearly can only be discussed by the blog fans, but can someone explain to me Rocky's walk?? Have you noticed this? Walks like he's got bricks in his armpits and a lead pipe jammed up his arse! And I can't believe I'm saying this, but I almost miss him at this point.

Enough of this, on to the show!

Alex is conniving in overdrive though.

Clay is crushed, and so in his honor, I'll keep the rehash short here, so he doesn't have to relive the horror.

Don't worry though, he takes a healthy ration of shit on the show today!

The gloves came off last night and it's getting nasty on the island.

Alex, Ed & Mookie were played for fools, exposing the idol without real reason!

Dear Stacy, we all hate you. Bye

Yao is no longer a player in this game, he is a force of nature.

Any trust that anyone thought they had, gone. At this point, any survivor on the island who thinks he/she has a solid alliance with anyone, is an idiot. Players will twist and turn in the breeze to the very last.

And really, isn't that why we watch?

Alliance building and plotting, and scheming, and tom-foolery are all blown up with a great split with an immediate trip to the council. Players are forced to think for themselves (always a very risky proposition).

Michelle is gone, Mookie is screwed, Boo is confused (again), and Yao is the man!

The new Bula Bula is down to 9 as the jury grows and the tensions mount.

Last night we saw Moto do a fine rendition of the Meke. (I prefer the Haka as danced by the All Blacks, but I won't be picky) Ravu was a bit more reminiscent of 8 year-olds playing London Bridge, but at least Dre had a kick-ass back flip.

Who knew that Yao-Man was such a lethal assassin? Nice!

A merge seems eminent and then we're looking at a whole new ball game. Back again next week.

Ravu managed to win a reward, but when you win a day of virtual golf and processed meat product, how much did you really win?

Moto won yet another immunity challenge, but there was great rejoicing in all the land when finally Rocky/James/Hungry Hobo/All-around-jackass is sent home! And he never saw it coming.

Down now to 11 and we've got the first jury member. I only hope they've got Hannibal's gag mask to keep Rocky quiet when he's at council next week.

Probie called it, "Drop your buffs!".

The decks are shuffled and we're looking at new battle lines being drawn.

CBS finally gave us back Survivor, on the wrong night! We don't care about their scheduling foibles though, we'll do as we damn well please, so it's Friday and we've got our show out. Fridays are way better than Thursdays for our show anyway.

The new boys club kicked out the one member they thought was sissified but the Mouth from Beantown is putting the spotlight on himself for all the wrong reasons.

Martha Burke is dancing for joy though as the new old boy network will be forced to accept a woman for membership at least next week.

Sorry about your luck Anthony, "Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble".

Having been given a slight reprieve from the tribal council by a quirky twist of fate, and the message in the bottle, Ravu didn't have to send anyone home, so there were no aftershocks this week. Didn't help them in the least.

Rocky popped off at the reward challenge and got popped. Yao Man is the only thing that stood between Moto and perfection.

Stacy showed herself to be a Grade A bitch back at the camp. Power corrupts sweetheart, watch your backside.

With immunity as an overgrown game of memory, Ravu could barely remember their names, let alone where the matching boards were. Really a merciless game in the grand scheme. Sure, no physicality to it, but your mind goes long before your body when you're being deprived like this.

Shake ups are coming! Get'cha boots on!

Dreamz wanting to just put it in the open ...wake up my man.

Poor Papa Smurf though. What could this mystery ailment be. A bad mushroom, a strange potion. Here's hoping you're doing ok old fella.

Last week we located Christmas and this week we got her back. Things are right and good again for us here in Fiji. Well, they were right until Clay got rolling this week.

And what's the deal with chowder?

Take it easy everybody!

Our comrade has made contact with us even in a dire situation, because of her dedication to Survivor Fiji.

Three episodes in and this season is still trying to find something of a groove. Ravu is so frazzled right now, they are just spiraling downward to a glorious meltdown. There has to be some belief they'll be thrown a bone, but maybe not!

Sylvia is gone, Anthony may be on the chopping block. He's got a tough couple of days ahead of him.

Gary could have cracked a rib...or it could be worse. I wonder if they've got an duct tape at Ravu, they've got everything else. Just tape it up and keep playing!

Hoping for some nice animosity when Ravu gets back to camp to start the next episode, and Clay is looking forward to Liliana's performance on the night vision.

Until such time!

No Water.

No Will.

No Fun.

Damn it's good to be at Ravu! Oh, wait, no it sucks. It's especially great when no one likes the replacement player you just picked up and there's so much mistrust the first instinct is to see if she's holding the immunity idol.

hehe, this is what we were missing out on the Cook Islands!

So Moto is living large and Ravu is hurtin' for certain.

After another failed challenge, Erica is voted out, and it looks like Sylvia is sitting on the chopping block.

Good times!

As with all premiers, there wasn't a lot of meat on this bone for us to pick at. Just some general getting to know you kind of fun. Of course, that would never keep us from spouting off.

Tribes have formed and we've got the haves and the have nots, and really, isn't that they way it goes. I know we're all getting a little giddy to watch just how far deprivation is going to push Ravu.

One of the highlights of the night had to be Boo and Rocky trying to open the crate and then Yau Man actually getting the job done. Brains vs. brawn, and we have a winner.

First exile and first council have already happened, and in a nifty twist, those two moves together evened out the tribes. Sylvia's holding the first clue to the immunity idol and Jessica is the first to head for home.

Join us now for another edition of Buffs Off.

We finish up adding our 4 cents to the roster of Fiji fall guys and gals, with a special shout-out to the life veterans who made the South Seas trip.

Catch us back here tomorrow (hangovers aside) for our arresting insights and rabid predictions following the Survivor Fiji Season Premier!

Which, in case you've been tied up in the trunk of a Chevy Caprice Classic, airs tonight on CBS at 8pm ET/PT.
