The Heros won the Mud Fight Challenge 8-0. They really whooped the Villians. The rest of the show focused on who the Villians were going to vote out - it was between Parvarti and Randy - Randy ended up being sent home. No one voted for Parvarti and Randy threw in a vote for Rob. James kinda apologized for last weeks behavior at tribal. he says he just wants to win. The guys all came together to catch the chickens when they got loose , Rupert called it a bonding moment. Must have worked, they won reward and the immunity.

Oh, last night was excellent! I think Amanda is playing a much smarter game this time around. Not quite as big a freeloader as last time. What the heck is wrong with Natalie? That girl is coming off as just plain icky and darn near evil. She WANTED to kill the chicken. OK, no one should WANT to kill a chicken. You can do it 'cause you have to, but to want to? That was just sick. I know they had to get rid of that nice, injured woman last night, geesh, I can't remember her name, because they were afraid they couldn't win against her with the jury, they'd rather sit with the icky Natalie against the jury, but it would have given me sweet satisfaction last night if they had voted her out. Same with Cirie, they don't want to go up against her because she's well liked. Amanda sure got a few jabs in against Erik last night, called him out a bit. She should be an actress, she was playing them all right up until she pulled out that idol. It was great. I'm rooting for Erik, too. I loved watching the jury last night, they aren't hiding their feelings one little bit. No poker faces there! lol Felt sorry for James, they wouldn't have him over for Sunday dinner? Why? He's good enough to work hard at camp to provide for them, but not good enough to bring home? That was just mean. Lucky for them he's so nice and doesn't seem to take things personally. I liked his Dad, too. Didn't spend much time focusing on the loved ones this time, did they?

Coach is the biggest hypocrite, all his talk about God and honesty and loyalty, while he's pretending to find what he's already got--- such a poser jerk. "Get on your knees, get on your knees, get on your knees!" "Hey, look at how great we are, we got on our knees!" Ugh, shiver, shudder, why anyone does a single thing he says is beyond me, he needs to be kicked to the curb. All the praying for a GAME? It's a game. Yeah, it's the most special he's ever felt in his life, it's all he's got because everyone knows what a jerk he really is, but it's still just a game. And once again, he stays out of the physical part of the challenge by being a caller, which means he can not be blamed if they get beaten. He is such a wuss. Picture me, hoping for a well-placed bolt of lightning. :) Ozzy is a waffler. "I'll go to Redemption Island." "No, Cochran has to go, he blew it for us." "No, wait, I'll go. It's my chance for a big move." MAKE UP YOUR MIND! lol It'll be funny if this bites them all in the butt and there's no immediate merge AND Ozzy loses to Christine. I'm rooting for Dawn, she's smart, stays out of the fray, works hard, is strong. At the end of the blindfold challenge, did you see the women with their blindfolds still on, running into each other and bonking heads? That made me LOL. Why they didn't take off their blindfolds, I don't know.

In all of the past seasons of Survivor ('cept I didn't see the original season), whenever the winner of the reward challenge got to spend time with a loved one, s/he always got to spend more time with their loved one, but all of the other survivors got to spend a few minutes with theirs, too. In fact, it seemed to me that perhaps Bob got less time with his wife than the past seasons' winners, because usually they've gotten to spend the night with the person, away from camp. This week it seemed like they only had a relatively short time alone together. But wasn't it cool how Bob and his wife said to the others, "hey, listen to this, this is really neat," and then Bob whistled and all the other loved ones came into view... And I completely agree with Linda in saying that Randy totally deserved to be laughed at. He was sitting there so smug, and was being all nasty to the others because he thought he was safe and ruling the roost. The smug ones always make fools of themselves...
