courtney-survivor.jpg"Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains" sees JT makes one of the stupidest moves in the history of the game when he slips Russell a love note and the Hidden Immunity Idol. Also, stick bug Courtney Yates goes home.

Post-tribal
Sandra is pretty gloat-y about voting out Coach. Meanwhile, Russell is actually in a pretty good place with his Danielle-Parvati-Jerri alliance plus the Heroes thinking he's the lone guy who survived the all-girl alliance.

Reward Challenge

The tribes get an advanced notice about "endurance and a threshold for pain." It involved two narrow walls with small footholds and you pair off against the other tribe. Each tribe ranks their members from strongest to weakest. The Villains recognize that it should be all the girls playing and not Russell. It's a good strategy.

Meanwhile, Rupert thinks he's the strongest of all the people left and wants to be ranked high. While wearing his jaunty J.Lo-at-the-Oscars wrap, of course. At the challenge, the Heroes can't believe that Coach is gone and they think the women's alliance is strong. Haha.

At the challenge, the winning tribe is receiving an Outback Steakhouse feast. I have to think the Villains are going to kick butt at this, what with all the women left. The match-ups are Danielle-Candice, Courtney-Amanda, Parvati-JT, Jerri-Colby and Sandra-Rupert. Interesting.

During the challenge, we find out this is the 100th day Amanda has played "Survivor." She's the first person to reach 100 days. Wow. That's cool as hell and I don't even like Amanda. Meanwhile, Russell is sitting on the sidelines giving JT looks about how hard he has it with the all-girl alliance. Man, that is just hilarious.

When the Survivors reach the third foothold (which is TEENY), Colby with the big feet drops first, so Jerri scores the first point. Rupert is the next to drop. The Villains had a sweet strategy on this one, leaving Russell out. Then Amanda drops and the Villains win. Courtney's like, "What? The breeze is keeping me up, what? I weigh 60 lbs. What?"

At the feast, Sandra is downing fruity, alcoholic beverages like it's her job. Love it. Meanwhile, Parvati finds a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol in her napkin, which she promptly stuffs in her underwear. Later she shows it to Danielle and they decide they'll fill Russell in on a need-to-know basis.

Meanwhile, at the Heroes camp JT has a plan. He says that Russell knows he's going next, so he wants to talk to Russell and slip him the Hidden Immunity Idol to vote out Parvati. WOOOOOOW. That is insane. Complete insanity. And Candice and Amanda are aware of the danger of his idea. But JT writes a note to Russell that reads like a "Dear Diary" entry. It's possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen on TV. I mean, "Are you there God, it's me Margaret" and crap. Are you kidding me, JT? My boyfriend even goes, "'Do you like me? Check yes or no.'" Back at the Villains camp, Danielle and Parvati find the Hidden Immunity Idol and agree to keep it between themselves.

Immunity Challenge
The tribes are on a floating platform. One member at a time moves a bag of puzzle pieces along a rope. Once they have all five bags, they use the pieces to assemble a totem pole. The Villains sit out Sandra.

The challenge sees the Heroes out in front. First of all, the Villains are tugging the bag instead of taking the rope hand-over-hand, which is dumb. Secondly, the bag gets heavy once it takes on water, so hold it out of the water! Duh.

Meanwhile, Colby and Russell are left on the platforms as the anchor in the relay. Colby gets Russell's attention and says, "You going home tonight? ... When the challenge is over, you go to JT. He's gonna give you something. Use it tonight. Protect yourself, get rid of one of them. Come with us. Get rid of Parvati." Russell says he wants to shake Colby's hand and Colby says "We'll do that later." The Heroes win the challenge and JT totally passes the Idol off to Russell during the post-challenge hugs. OH. MY. GOD.

"Now I don't even have to find Idols! People are actually giving me Idols. You don't hand the enemy the Idol, expressly when his name is Russell Hantz." HEEEE!

Post-Challenge

JT is pretty excited that they handed the Idol to Russell. Oh dear. I almost feel bad for them because they don't know what Russell is about. Parvati reads the letter aloud and she and Russell laugh. Parvati even goes, "XOXO" and I laugh so hard.

The Villains want to get Courtney out because she's so weak. Also, Russell shows Danielle and Jerri the Idol and everybody laughs their asses off. They weigh the pros and cons of Sandra versus Courtney. For me, now that they don't seem to care about the tribe winning, you gotta keep Courtney. Sandra's too smart.

Tribal Council
No matter how dramatic Jeff tries to make it, Sandra and Courtney know it's between them for who is getting voted off. It's Boston Rob's girls versus Russell's girls in a pimp war. Russell says that trust can work for you because he's sitting there with Russell, Danielle and Parvati. This is actually what I predicted, it just involved Courtney rather than Parvati.

The votes go Jerri, Courtney, Courtney, Courtney, and then Courtney is leaving. No big surprises there. She's a smart girl, but pretty much worthless in challenges.

Okay, Heroes -- You are idiots. Maybe not Amanda and Candice. But JT, Colby and Rupert. Damn. Seriously. Are you INSANE?!

I'm not actually surprised JT went with the plan. I'm more surprised none of his tribe mates tried to talk him out of it. Hello! You don't know what's going on in the other tribe. Hello! Russell was put on the VILLIANS tribe. Doesn't that tell you something? Maybe that he's a villian and you shouldn't trust him.

What a good episode but agree, Sandra is more dangerous to keep around than Twiggy.

Russell must have had more hidden immunity idols than any player in history!



JT never had the shot at the million. No matter what. Amanda and Courtney were already on to him and want him out. If they got Russell on their side they would be able to take out the Villains one by one. Thats the reason the rest of the Heroes went with the idea. If they got Russell, it would be the Villains getting voted out one by one and JT would of been the first Hero to be voted out. JT never had a shot, and now he doesn't have the Heroes gunning for him cause he has the idol. It kind of takes the target off him for a while. But yeah, I think JT will be voted out next week cause Russell and Parvarti seems him as the leader and conspirator of the Hero tribe.

It was NOt a stupid move. But it was foolish to give it to Russell. They should of gave it to Sandra but they didn't know she was actually the odd one out.

I bet everybody's going Stephen shouldve gotten the votes. J.T. Turning into the next ozzy. Not the sharpest tool.

Good episode and yes Sandra was lovin that drink. Agree she is way more dangerous than Tiggy.


I think JT was playing dumb to the Heros and wisely cemented his alliance with Russell, which is not a bad thing.

I've never heard someone speak of such reverence when talking about the Outback Steak House. Someone needs to take Sandra to a Morton's or something.

Too bad Courtney is gone. I was looking forward to her talk about her love of T.G.I. Friday's.

It seems that before the idol was handed to him, Russell's only plan going into the merge was to make people think he would flip. Considering the fact that no matter who was voted out tonight on the Villains (Sandra or Courtney), whoever was left out of Sandra or Courtney probably would have legitimately flipped (no matter what Courtney told Parvati) and the dominant Villains alliance still would have been outmatched 6-4.

If anyone is interested, you can find more of my thoughts on my blog where I dissect JT's motivations for handing the idol to Russell--it has a lot more to do with his own selfish interests than it does with his own stupidity. Link:

lol funny ! Are you wondering looking for a rich man or woman as your friend? ***** SEEKxxxRICHxxxBEAUTY. CxxxOxxxM ***** where you can date with many rich and famous men and women. If you are looking for a wealthy lifestyle or looking for a romance partner, Good Luck!!!

Can't stand Courtney...couldn't the first time she was on, couldn't this time. Although she is a villain, for her attitude, immature, mean comments, and eye rolling, she's useless in this game.

It's official-the immunity idols are like the One Ring. They are evil and always return to their Master, Russell.

@Trip - I totally agree with you about Russell. His self-proclaimed title of "Best Survivor Ever" is becoming more of a joke. There is more to being the best than just getting to the final. Again he has set himself up to have a very good chance of making final 3 but no chance of winning. We've had players in the past do a much better job of putting themselves in a position to win because of their social game. Russell has no social game and will lose - again.
