Last week was the best blindside in Survivor history. Randy playing that fake Immunity Idol was just freaking amazing, and I think that those who pulled the wool over his eyes and deftly stabbed him right in the back whilst he was gloating in his own glory had every right to giggle as Probst snuffed his fire. Bob and Corrine do not agree with me. They basically flip out on the rest of the tribe when they get back from Tribal, which makes a whole hell of a lot of sense when you’re trying to save your skin. Corrine goes especially apey, and rants and raves about how much she hates everyone on this tribe. Man I hate this bi-otch!
First challenge is reward, and it’s the coveted family time reward. This time around there is no actual family member present – but Probst does some nice product placement for the Samsung Instict by Sprint, allowing each tribe member to get a message from a loved one. Everyone sheds a few tears for their own message, and the messages of the others. The reward will end up being pizza, beer, soda and a long video message from home.
They are broken up into teams, and eventually whittled down to individuals. Bob wins, and I’m happy for him, because he’s got a sweet wife, and he seems like a good guy. Kenny earlier in the episode says that Bob is useful for making things, and getting things done, but he’s not really playing the mental game. I’m not sure I agree completely with it. Anyway, Bob gets the surprise of a freaking lifetime when he’s sitting there enjoying his little video and his wife comes walking up. If I were a producer of this show, I’d be a tad worried about give the old guy a coronary! The absolute joy on his face is freaking priceless, and I love his wife. She loved his beard, and didn’t mind the stench coming off of him. I guess the absence will do that to you.
I completely forgot to mention that Kenny claims that Bob’s going next because he won. So, you know Kenny feels like an ass when Bob and his wife Peggy come walking up. And then Bob whistles, and everyone’s loved ones come running up over the hill. Matty and his woman just about drop down in the tall grass when no one is looking, while Kenny goes off to with his sister to tell her he’s the mastermind behind the whole game.
Sugar and her sis sprinkle their dad’s ashes in the water (I hope they are drinking from that water…) and after gettin’ busy Matty takes his woman down to the water and he asks her to marry him. Sweetest Survivor moment ever…. Okay, I don’t know they got busy, but I know how my husband would be after that long of a dry spell, and I’m guessing Matty is the same way…
After the loved ones leave, Bob and Corinne go off to plan their strategy, or lack of one. The five left behind are amazed that those two are dumb enough to wander off on their own in the situation they are in. They decide to get Bob out first because he’s a bigger threat, physically and mentally. Back to Bob and Corrine – Bob’s going to make ANOTHER fake idol, and claim it’s the one they supposedly collectively threw into the ocean. I don’t think anyone’s going to be buying it.
The Immunity Challenge involves a bunch of Q&A, and winning balls to throw at a target. Sugar ends up getting the most correct answers (and everyone thinks she is sooo dumb…) Bob wins and I guess I’m going to get my wish – Bye Bye Whore-inne, I mean Corinne.
But, I’m worried, because Bob suggests that they get two Fang’s to blindside Matty. I swear, I was ticked when my man Dan got the boot, but if Matty goes, I’m going to be pissed! Matty has had some real life-changing realizations in this game, and he’s one of my favorites for the final. Him and Sugar – Final Two Baby!
Kenny is actually seeming to consider this horrible plan, and I’m kind of wishing a croc would jump out of the water and drag his skinny ass into oblivion. Corinne brags about the incompetence that she is dealing with, and I’m kinda hoping the croc I was hoping for gets her too. The *big* plan is that Crystal is going to vote with the rest of the group for Corrine, and Kenny will vote for Matty. Corrine is supposedly going to play her little idol (which is fake, I remind you) and they either get rid of Corrine or Matty.
If Matty stays, I hope he brings all the fury of hell down on Kenny’s head for playing this game. After a little Q&A about trust at Tribal, the voting commences. Bob hangs on to his personal Idol, and I haven’t a single clue what is going to *really* happen.
Probst tallies the votes and it’s 3-3 Corrine & Matty. Final vote is for Corrine. Matty is pissed because he knows someone from his alliance voted for him – and Kenny looks like an idiot because he believed Bob and his second fake idol. I’m guessing that Kenny is going to exact some kind of payment next week for that deception…
