Survivor – Week 8

This week JT went in search of the hidden Immunity Idol – luckily, Candice saw him shortly after he found it and had to come clean with the other Heroes. At the Reward Challenge, Rupert assumed that there was an all girl alliance on the Villains team, boy is he wrong! The Villains lost both challenges and are sent to Tribal Council where Coach is voted out.
The best part of this episode for me was that Sandra played a little mind game with Russell. She made it seem like Coach was second guessing his alliance with Russell. Russell bought it immediately; he “ate that crap up.” It was a brilliant maneuver that saved Courtney from being eliminated.
Russell is in an interesting situation. The Heroes think that he’s on the outs and that there is an all girl alliance in the Villains tribe. JT believes it so much, that he makes eye contact with Russell and tells him to hang in there. Jeesh! C’mon, are you blind? Oh wait a minute; he’s not sitting at home watching the same thing we’re watching. I guess if I were JT I would probably make the same observation. It’s easy to see what’s going on while watching at home, but if we were on the Heroes or Villains team, we wouldn’t know what was going on in the other camp.
I can’t wait to see how this all plays out. Hopefully, the Heroes keep winning and slowly get the Villains tribe trimmed down to a more manageable number. We all know this day was coming, so we’re not all that surprised – Coach the tribe has spoken.
