i can't russell, pavarti, courtney, rupert. i can't understand y in the world they would have kicked off: stephanie, tom, tyson, boston rob, and now coach...i think they are all dellusional...these are the best players and they should of kept them just for the sake of the team...and then they wonder why there are loosing challenges...
i used to like rupert, but now he's just plain annoying...i dont know y courtney wasn't the first chick voted off the villains tribe...and that blonde girl on the heroes...can't stand her either..
the only other 2 players that i like and haven't been voted off yet are colby and amanda...i hope one of them wins...which probably won't be the case cuz my pick never wins...well as long as that russell moron, or the courtney snake doesn't win... |

Courtney and Sandra did what they need to do. I was flabbergasted when Courtney and Sandra sat out the bowling challenge. It was one of the rare challenges they could likely do as well as anyone else.
Russell is doing exactly what I criticise him for; he's thinking too short-term. He got rid of Coach, leaving him the only man in a tribe of weak women. Parvati is a boxer and she's average at best. Danielle is okay, and the rest...well....suck. They'd better pray for a merge.
The preview of the next episode sounds funny. JT wants to give an idol to Russell? Maybe it is one of those fake idols again or something like that. Or maybe they want Russell to use it to get rid of one of the 'women's alliance' that doesn't actually exist, so the Hero men have a better chance when the merge happens. Thoughts? |

Very unpredictable to see coach of all people out. Russell is true to his instinct; if you're gunning for him, you're out. Even though Sandra is convinced that she fooled Russ, Coach was definitely against him all the way, and Russ is pretty smart to keep shooting down all that voice opposition.
Rob would have sent Russ, too much of an ego battle there.
It's quite a story that Rob, Tyson,Russ,Coach , Parv, Danielle and Jerri couldn't align.
Those other weak female players are really hard to appreciate. Trade out Sandra and Court for Rob and Tyson, and a unified front, and the Heroes would be toast to the end of it.
I predict continued losses for Villains up to the merge.
Russ will join the Heroes, then get voted off and into the jury.
I like him as a jury member; will his vote for winner be based upon merit or spite?
I just hope an actual participant wins this time and not one of these bystanders.
At this point it seems a female alliance could make strides for the V's.
But I think they hate each other so much that it will never happen.
How much petty backbiting can you tolerate to get a shot at million bucks? |

Did you see the nod from JT to Russel at the reward challenge? JT mouthed "Hang in there". They've already aligned.
Russ convinced JT that there's an all girl alliance voting out the villain men. |

Very true... but you are thinking short short term. If Russell wants to win this game, he has got to start thinking about who and how is voting people off. Last week alone, Russell tainted three jury votes: Coach, Jerri, and Danielle.
My only disappointment about this season is that it is way too predictable. Russell is playing the same game. Again, Russell will align with two of the weakest women in the game hoping for an easy jury win. By doing so he will have to backdoor Jerri and Parv; thus, losing two more jury votes.
Game Over Russell.
Winner: saundra, courtney, or danielle.
This weeks pics:
Villians: Jerri
Heros: Candice
Merge: JT |

Actually, I was surprised to watch the votes during the credits. Russel voted with Coach and Jerri, and everyone else voted for Coach, including Danielle. The voting really confused me... I can only imagine there was a lot we didn't get to see. |

Right, Russell was on the outs on that last vote. He is not calling the shots anymore. Danielle probably didn't like being talked to like she was when she dared to suggest they go against Russell's plan to oust Skeletor. That's Russell's weakness, he just doesn't know to shut it.
And watching Coach at the Ponderosa after he gets the boot was good. The man clearly lives in his own world. He is now referring to himself as King Arthur. I don't think he gets that he was actually booted out of the game. |

I am looking forward to next week if the previews are truthful and JC actually does give Russell the idol. |

This. Russ even said that to the girls. He said voting Coach off would strengthen the idea of an all girl alliance. Then, when they merge, the Heroes will bring Russell into the fold to break the alliance. Russell will then report to his alliance and blow it all to pieces again.
And the previews suggest that might actually happen, plus the immunity idol! Absurd.  |

I've been catching up on any of the heroes' or villains' seasons that I may have missed. I'm halfway through Survivor Toucatins (season 1 . Tyson is hilarious! It's a shame we didn't really get to see much of him in this season.
As for the voting last week - it was very weird. I think Russel has overplayed his hand, and those girls will boot him out in a second given the chance! |

This season is terrible for a number of reasons
1) the episodes are not long enough, and we dont see enough interaction. We never know whats exactly going on and we wonder how the hell something happenned by the time the episode is over
2) Too many chiefs. This is why the strong players are gone first. In the first all stars they wanted the winners gone, now not so much, they want the strongest gone, at the peril of the tribe.
3) Sandra is gonna coast all the way to the end and she is likley going to win again, and then people are going to suggest that she is the "best player ever" for having won twice. All this because she basically made no moves, had her team sit her our for half of the challenges so was kept around for "not being a threat" yet being TOTALLY useless on EVERY challenge.
4) Russel is gonna make it to the end, get no votes because he isnt liked as opposed to playing the game well ( just like last season) People will vote for Sandra or the other person just becaus they aren't Russel ( just like Samoa)
Anyway here's a prediction (that I think will eventually happen)
Russel is going to give his Samoa Immunity Idol to someone convincing them it is the real one. Its gonna have to be someone dumb, like J.T
The idol will get played at Tribal council and ( much like Randy) a funny double cross blindside will happen |

Watching Pearl Islands was interesting to see Rupert in action for the 1st time and to see how Sandra won.
Sandra summed it up well. She got to the end b/c everyone always had some other fish to fry. Then she went against Lillian in the final and they trashed her for not living up to the image of a Scoutmaster.
I am still picking Jerri to win. |
