USA’s Survivor 20 – Episode 3
Hello! Hello! Hello! To everyone…I apologize for being late on my blogs. I got me a new computer; a touch screen, but the WiFi on it isn’t quite working. So I’ve been limited. All is fine now though, so I’ll be posting this here bloggy and expect Episode 4 tomorrow! Now let’s get started with why you came here…
We join the Heroes tribe on their return home from their last Tribal Council. Tom and James have a polite moment where they clear the air. Immediately after, JT runs to Tom and apologizes for not sticking with him and Steph, claiming he did what he felt he had to when he realized they were on the bottom of the totem pole. I don’t think Tom bought it though. JT isn’t all that good of a liar, so…
Ow! Agh! Waahhh! That is how we join the Villains night. Most everyone complaining about the newest shelter’s uncomfortability. Everyone except Parvs and Russell who are giggling and flirting like High School crushes! This is a side of Russell we’re not used to. It’s sort of creepy, I feel. I want my evil Russell back!!
Rob, in his confessional, gives a great piece of advice for future players: “Watch how they sleep at night. Whoever’s sleeping next to who…will tell you who’s aligned with who.” He then goes on a rant about not trusting Russell, but this is something us viewers already know. Ha!
Heroes wake to a sort of somber, quiet morning. Rupert decides that bonding is now important for the tribe to grow! Little late on this realization, Rupy! Then out of nowhere…they catch another chicken! Wait! What!? What is this!?
Surivor: Chicken Island!
Coach then attempts to warn Russell that sticking with Parvati is a bad idea. He then tells us in his confessional that he believes Parvati to be a charmer. This episode is full of Captain Obvious moments, huh? Rob then joins Coach and Russell in their conversation. In his private confessions Russell retaliates, calling Coach a joke and Rob a wannabe boss.
After pretending to hede their warning, Russell sneaks off to tell Parvati everything. They then have a small laugh. In her confessional, Parvati admits that despite the fact she thinks he’s a lunatic…she actually trusts Russell! With anyone else I’d call them foolish, but the way he’s been acting with Parvati this season, who knows!
Finally! We see some of the old Russell! In the middle of the night he decides to sneak off with the machete and hide it! Ha! I love it! While burying it, he goes on about how he wants the tribe to start being miserable and that Rob’s hat might be the next victim. I personally get irritated by 3 things in Survivor…Rupert’s beard…Rob’s hat…and Coach in general. So, if Russell does destroy or bury Rob’s hat then I’ll love him forever! Ha!
Out of nowhere Randy returns from the ocean with quite a large clam. He goes to the shelter where everyone is chillin’ and asks if anyone is interested. Most everyone declines, saying they’re not hungry. Wait! What!? Not hungry!? On SURVIVOR!? Parvati tries a bite, but spits it out. So, Randy and Sandra eat the whole thing themselves.Randy then jumps onto the Anti-Parvati band wagon. He and Coach decide to try and target her for their first loss. Meanwhile, Parvs is sunbathing like the goddess she thinks she is. Ha!
We join the Heroes tribe with Candice talking in private with JT about how she wants to go to the end with him and doesn’t trust Cirie at all. JT later runs to Cirie and repeats like a parrot. But when Cirie confronts Candice, not only does she deny it but she also runs around camp trying to “figure out” who lied to Cirie. Now, they showed the clip where she DID say that. So, I’m not sure if Candice has short term memory loss or maybe there’s a ventriloquist out there putting words in her mouth. It’s enough to spin your head in confusion. So, let’s jump to the…
Immunity Challenge!!
This one was one of my favorites in Palau! It’s essentially sumo wrestling with mud. It’s always fun to laugh at those who get mud in their hair and teeth, but at the same time gross. I miss not having separate Reward Challenges, but at least they’re combining them I suppose. Along with immunity, the winning tribe also receives 1 luxury item from home, a jar of coffee and a week’s worth of rice. The Villains were asked to sit out 2 women to make the challenge fair, so they chose Sandra and Courtney. Then…no…wait…errrrrttttttt!! STOP! What happened to the Survivor rule that has been around since near the start about not sitting the same player out in back to back challenges!? Courtney sat out last week’s challenge and now again!? UGH! Whatebs! Let’s get to the good stuff now!
The first match is Tom vs Russell. Going in this you’d think Tom would be in trouble. Older gentleman going against a now muscle-filled man; even if he is bite size. But it’s literally PUSH PUSH PUSH Rusell FAIL. Then we have the Heroes tribe grunting and screaming like wild monkeys.
In fact, that’s pretty much how the entire challenge goes. Candice takes out Parvati, Rupert takes out Coach after a redo because Coach accidentally cheated, Cirie takes Jerri out, JT takes out Tyson, Amanda takes out Danielle, Colby takes out Rob, and then James launches poor Randy across the island with a single shove. The Villains use this as a chance to poke fun at James for harming an “old man”.
Anyhoo…Heroes finally win!! Woo! I’ve noticed something so far. When it comes to the physical aspect, the Heroes rock out! They won the Episode 1 Reward Challenge, which was physical based. They also managed to take large leads in the first 2 Immunity Challenges during the physical aspects, but lost only at the mental sections. And now they win with the sumo challenge. The Heroes have the brawn, but not the brains I guess. We’ll see if this stays true or not.
The Villains return to camp looking like a group of dung beetles after dinner. They all run to the water. The girls wash themselves off then help the men wash as well. Except for Randy. Not a single person helps him out. Ha! In private, Parvati confronts Coach about him targeting her. He denies it, saying he’s never once targeted her and she can trust that because he never lies. Um…shall we rewind to the scene where he’s talking with Randy about voting Parvati out? He’d still deny it though! Because…
Pretty much the whole game Jerri has been pretty quiet on her stance with Parvati. If she’s been Anti-Parvati, then it’s not been shown. Not until Jerri sees Parvati trying to flirt with Coach. Parvs is only doing so cause she knows Coach is gunning for her, but this simple interaction sparks something. Though it’s not addressed in the show, it seems obvious to me that Jerri is jealous and wants Parvati out for flirting with her man! Haha! The two black widows then take turns bashing each other in their confessionals.Coach and Randy have a moment where Randy’s trying his best to convince Coach to turn the vote on Parvs. He nicknames this game as Micronesia 2.0, referring to the fact that Parvati could easily team up with Cirie, Amanda and James come merge. I beg to differ, Randy! This is NOT Survivor: Micronesia 2.0! It’s Survivor: Chicken Island, remember!? Now go watch it’s intro above. Ha!
UGH! Coach then complains in his confessional that nobody in this game is “honorable”. Um. Did anyone tell him what game he was playing? He then declares that as long as there’s a brain cell in his head (hold jokes for the end, please) he’ll fight for Randy!! Does he? Let’s go and find out at…
Tree House Tribal Council!! Hehe!
Tribal Council starts off with people expressing their concerns on Parvati and her possible Hero allies. Probst then asks Sandra if there’s a leader, she calls Coach out about telling others to do stuff and vanishing on them. Ha! I love it! It’s just like Sandra and totally out of the blue! For my readers, I am a total Sandra fan. She and Courtney are open mouthed people. If you ever wonder how I am in real life…look at them. After a small feud where Coach is defending himself he points out they have the worst shelter in Survivor history, which Jerri immediately rejects. She’s right though. The shelter Rupert built in All-Stars really is the worst ever. Come to think of it, Jerri has never had luck with shelters, has she? In the Outback they had to give up their shelter for extra food, then rebuild it. They then had a flood, then rebuild it. She returns for All-Stars for Rupert’s mess of a shelter. And now she’s here. I bet she threw a tantrum at the shelter Moto had in Fiji. Haha!I’m getting sidetracked again. Sandra then shouts to Probst they no longer have a machete. When Probst asks what happened to the machete, she answers with: “It grew legs and walked off!” Russell is asked to give his opinion on the tribe. He calls those in Samoa dodos then says it’s nice to play with people who are actually playing the game.
In the end it was 9-1…
After being voted out, Randy immediately threw his buff into the fire. I’d also like to point out that Coach, who has sworn an oath to fight for Randy…did end up voting him out. Guess this means he ran out of brain cells?I don’t have any interesting interviews for you guys. Randy made quite a few, but they were all the same and very repetitive in themselves. He wanted Parvs gone, blamed Rob for him going, wants Coach to win the game and hates on Courtney/Danielle/Parvati for not working around camp. Nothing else is really said in any of them.
Okies! So, that was Episode 3! Due to my WiFi mishap, I’ve not yet seen Episode 4. I plan to watch it tomorrow…today…whatever Saturday is considered for where you live. Haha! I’ll then write a blog in the same day so that we’re caught up. I’ve also gone through my past 2 blogs and tweeked a few things. Nothing major. Mostly images. Hehe.
So tell me, readers…what did you think of this particular episode? Should Randy or Parvati have been voted out? Do you think she’ll switch and form a Micronesia alliance come merge? Who do you think will end up running the game…Rob or Russell? Do you think anyone will ever find the machete? Comment and tell me what you guys think! Peace homies!
