We Hate Our Tribe
After a quick recap of the last episode where we got to see Russell cry again when he got eliminated at Redemption Island (RI) and were reminded that Rob's tribe... uh, Ometepe... voted Kristina out to meet Matt at RI this week... The episode finally opened at:
Ometepe - Night 11
They return to camp from having voted out Kristina - Phillip says he wasn't surprised the vote was 3 for him and 4 for Kristina but he thinks his tribe better wake up and realize he's an asset they should keep around.
-Then he cuddles up with Rob to keep out of the rain.
Rob: You got your underwear on?
Phillip: Yeah, but that's never stopped me. (Whoa, what? I'd be making sure I had every piece of clothing I owned on after that comment... ghah!)
-Next day Rob's complaining to Grant that Phillip stuck his knee in his back all night (I hope that's what it was) and he got no sleep. Rob tells the camera that Phillip is aggravating everyone, strutting around in his pink panties, he's totally off his rocker and in a way he should stay to keep the focus off me.
Zapatera - Day 12
The boys are out fishing... oh and Julie. They caught fish in the net. Steve wants to reach out to the two Russell girls and try to keep all of them a tight family into the merge. (He strikes me as a guy who would never even consider a woman would refuse him... yeah, I don't see that flying with Stephanie.)
-They get the tree mail to send two people to watch the duel and end up picking numbered tiles - 1 and 4 get to go and that happens to end up as Stephanie and Krista (the Russell girls.)
-Julie says now that Russell is gone, Stephanie and Krista are not a threat, they're just pawns in this game and we don't care what they do at this point. They can't hurt us.
-Stephanie tells the camera that they want to get across to the other tribe that they're Russell's girls and they hate their tribe. Let them know they have two girls ready to flip so we can create chaos and craziness at the merge. (Again, all this merge talk - you have to make it there first honey.)
Redemption Island - DUEL
-Rob & Grant are the reps from Ometepe... just the people Stephanie should want to see.
Duel: Race to collect puzzle pieces, (they are big pieces too, bigger than a breadbox as they say.) They have to move the pieces from a pile to a platform where they have to assemble them into a cube. First person to get them together correctly remains in the game - loser leaves for good.
-Off they go - neither one gets it right off - they both rip it apart and start over.
-Matt starts talking to Rob - voted me out for no reason, I still don't know why.
-Rob is silent. So Jeff asks, Rob, why'd you vote him out?
-Rob -"Jeff, it takes more than one person to vote someone out - you know that." (Yup, like getting blood from a stone with that guy. He's not going to tell you anything, you think he's stupid?)
-Kristina is getting frustrated, kicks one of the pieces. Apparently they're heavy and it's hot and Jeff keeps blathering... I don't blame her.
-Out of nowhere Matt finally gets it together and Matt wins his 3rd duel in a row.
-Of course, not one to just get on with things, Jeff gives Matt the floor to plead his case to Rob & Grant again.
-Matt says he wanted to go to the end with those guys, he's Ometepe through and through.
-Stephanie pipes up that they wished they had that feeling about their tribe. Lays it out that she and Krista are on the outs and think yellow would look good on them.
-Rob says it's good to know if it's true.
-Stephanie - oh it's the truth - [Flashes the smile.]
-And finally Jeff gets back to the matter at hand - Kristina - get the hell out. Oh, and throw your buff in the fire on your way by. (It just seems so cold - I think Redemption Island just adds insult to injury for the person leaving... you didn't feel bad enough when your tribe voted you out - we're going to make sure you really feel like dirt when we finally, really kick you out.)
-And Stephanie is happy she was able to plant a 'big ol' Sequoia tree in Rob's brain'. He tells them to hang in there as they leave.
Ometepe - Day 12
-Back at camp Phillip is left with the girls (Blond 1 & 2 and Brunette 1 = generic young things... is it bad I still don't care enough to remember their names?) - and he's frustrated that he can't make an impression on them (maybe because you condescend to them and walk around in saggy pink gonch) he says they remind him of the crabs out there (which he is still hunting with a spear - really?) when he tries to approach, they scuttle away (and I think he genuinely doesn't know why - that's sad.)
-He says Andrea (Ah, blond #1's name) is the most approachable but she's cautious because she doesn't want Rob to know she's talking to him, even though they voted out her SBF (Survivor boy friend) Matt.
- Ashley (blond #2) says Rob & Grant are like their big brothers out there and with them going to the duel she and Natalie (brunette 1) have to pretend to make Phillip part of the group and we have to pretend to keep Andrea comfortable - but she always has a snotty look an her face and is totally disingenuous - I don't think she's really fooling anyone.
-Andrea is frustrated because the other two girls don't really do much (correction - make that don't do anything) - she'd like to get things done but they expect her to hang out with them and sunbathe and talk about their hair. She says she'd rather see Ashley and Natalie go before Phillip but she can't really bring that up without putting herself on the chopping block.
-Phillip is talking her up - telling her she is the best female worker out there (but as we already established, that's not too hard to accomplish.) She asks him if he's ever tried to throw her under the bus at there and he gets way too Phillip intense "Never, Never... NEVER." She's like, whoa there, I wasn't accusing you, just curious. He whines that he's never had anyone to talk strategy with out there and he thinks if Matt makes it back the three of them could be in an alliance (She kinda plays along but her eyes said, Oh HELL no.)
-Now Phillip is happy with the synergy he established with Andraya today (he does like to pronounce people's names wrong - what's up with that?)
-Rob & Grant return and joke that Kristina won - but fessed up to kidding and confirm Matt won.
-Phillip says he sees Rob as the dictator and himself as a lord - he's just waiting to replace the King... (Wait, is the dictator also the king? Nice muddled analogy there bud.)
Zapatera - Day 12
-Stephanie and Krista whine that they don't want to go back - then discuss (needlessly if you ask me) that they're not going to say anything about offering their votes to Rob (gee, do you really think you should keep that to yourself? duh). Stephanie is so excited, Rob heard them loud and clear and knows that whatever his numbers are he can add two if they keep winning. (I don't know why she annoys me so much but her joy makes me hope Ometepe votes out Rob just to thwart her.)
Zapatera - Day 13
-Krista says since Russell was voted out there has been no strategy talk around camp - it's all patting themselves on the back - it's like no one is playing the game and when the game makes them play it, they're going to be very disappointed.
-Steve (who is looking a bit like a skinnier Richard Hatch - eek, I know - Have you been watching Celebrity Apprentice? I still hate that guy - and he's had to go back to jail AGAIN because he still hasn't paid his taxes... oh, sorry, went off on a tangent there.) Right, Steve is saying he's always been successful in any team situation he's been in...blah blah...
-Stephanie and Krista are sick of hearing their blabber and remove themselves more from the tribe to cook the meal.
-GI Joe (Mike) says they're not worried about the Russell girls having any impact on the game (Oh, that is smelling like some Survivor karma coming your way.)
-Julie feels like they're overconfident - she's a little superstitious and actually says they shouldn't be so cocky - it's bad Karma... (Okay, Julie can stay :).)
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
One person on each tribe will be the caller and the rest of the tribe will be blindfolded. The callers must guide their tribe mates through a maze to retrieve bags of puzzle pieces, once they've retrieved all 4 bags, the caller must use the puzzle pieces to solve a word phrase "The Sweet Taste of Victory". First tribe to get it right wins immunity and reward of coffee and donuts... (Hmm, Donut.)
Zapatera sits out Steve and Julie - then Sarita decides that Stephanie will be the caller because she's bossy and a linguist (sound reasonable) but David is pouting that he'd be a much better choice - (Really? Have we heard 2 words from you lately?)
Ometepe, well Rob, decides he's going to be the caller/puzzle man - surprise.
Off they go: they start out all of them holding on to each other but soon break apart and it's a little bit of pandemonium - Rob seems to be directing his team pretty well and so is Stephanie except for Ralph... (oh Man-sweater) - he keeps yelling at her to use him and she's telling him to shut up and wait for her to address him... Finally it's his turn and he goes the wrong way... sigh.
-Ometepe is the first back with all the puzzle pieces and Rob springs into action - the bags are full of coffee beans with the letter tiles mixed in - as Rob is sweeping away some of the coffee he loses a letter on the ground (GASP!) Stephanie is now working on their puzzle too... and she starts making up time - then Rob realizes he's missing a letter (Whew) - Rob, I'm sure doesn't even hear his team calling encouragement - Stephanie is just annoyed by her team and mutters for them to shut up.
-On the sidelines Steve is whispering to Julie that he wished David had been the caller - he doesn't think Stephanie is smart enough for this. (Wow, I didn't think it possible but Skinny-Richard calling Stephanie stupid made me mad - I'm starting to agree with her that Zapatera sucks.)
-ROB completes the puzzle and Ometepe Wins Immunity!
-And all the Zapatera guys tell Sarita, "See that's why we needed David to do it." (Sore losers all - look on the bright side, now you can get rid of Stephanie - now who's stupid?)
Ometepe - Day 13
DONUTS! I've never seen such joy out there they were all making their 'o' faces. Phillip is feeling frisky and tries to hug all the girls and trade donuts for massages (uh, so skeezy, and he wonders why they all shy away from him.)
-Grant picks up the coffee jar and starts swirling it around - and finds a clue - he's not very subtle and Rob's on him like a shark scenting blood in the water - they think they're being all sly Rob tries to pants the jar but it's too big, Grant uses his (Sigh) big body to block their view and they both bolt from camp - Ashley sees it go down (Rob's congratulating himself but really, it wasn't that smooth - they were all still on a sugar high though and they mostly get away with it.) Grant fishes out the clue and Rob demands he give it to him... (he's really starting to pick me.) So Grant casually strolls back into camp smelling the coffee, getting everyone else to smell the coffee, and Rob's off "getting water."
-Rob meanwhile reads the clue then says he's going to give Grant the clue he already had and keep the new one for himself. So he takes off running, digs up the idol and clue he already found then returns to show Grant the old clue. He plays Grant like a fiddle.
-Rob says this is all for nothing because he already has the idol but he's got to entertain himself out there somehow. "You don't make money unless you hustle." (Then he smiles and I can't help but be charmed - he really is the scariest kind of manipulator - the kind that makes you like him as he steals you blind. Damn, and I didn't think I was that easy.)
Zapatera - Day 13
-Trouble in 6-part-alliance paradise - they are fighting now about Stephanie being put in the puzzle solver role because everyone knows David is the puzzle guy. (Then why didn't he say anything - out loud, to the tribe - at the time?) Sarita tries to defend her decision by saying David's not good under pressure - of course he's an attorney so his whole life is under pressure (phff - lawyers) he puts his foot down and decrees that he's the only one to do puzzles from now on. Period.
-Skinny Richard (Steve) says he's more disappointed with other members of the tribe that didn't speak up than with Stephanie - he thinks she tried her best.
-Mike (GI Joe) says as far as he's concerned Stephanie and Krista have made their bed right alongside Russell and with her performance today he'd put Stephanie's head on the block first.
-Julie's out talking to Sarita and they both agree that Stephanie can't be trusted. Julie says she just doesn't like Krista and would rather see her go first - she thinks they could still reel Stephanie in. Sarita also puts David up there as #3 - she'd like him to go too (he's a lawyer and he yelled at her - I don't blame her.)
-Stephanie and Krista know there is no scrambling to be done with these dumb-ass people. Krista is just consoling herself with the fact that she doesn't think any of them will make it to the end. She's just sorry she won't be around to see them go down.
Tribal Council
Krista, at the last TC Russell was voted out and you and Stephanie were very vocal about being in two separate alliances. Has anything changed?
- No, and since Russell was voted out there really hasn't been any game play - it seems like the Brady Bunch has gone camping and they've invited the neglected step-children along.
Sarita, what do you think Krista means when she says you're not playing the game?
- I think it's funny because we've been playing so fast and furious that we unseated one of the best players in Survivor history - and we want to stick and take it all the way. (Stephanie looks like she smells a fart.)
-Krista pipes up that you don't play this game with 6 the whole time - then she does a countdown to one and says, then you have to play... (uh, when it's down to one you win the game - that didn't make any sense but I know what she was trying to say - still they don't have to worry about that yet because they still have two to spare). She breaks out that she's not there to make friends (my reality show favourite line, along with throwing you under the bus and you haven't seen the last of me.)
-Mike then pipes up that she hasn't been making any strategic plays either, she hasn't had conversations with anyone or developed trust, she has just sat around and been abrasive the whole time.
-Krista - What am I supposed to say - I have a great idea, let's vote off Stephanie (that's the best you got? Oh, blond #3, it's time for you to go.)
-Mike - you go talk to someone and you develop a bond - that's strategy.
-To which she just rolls her eyes (I mean come on Mike, don't you know she's a hot blond and she doesn't approach others, they try to talk to her, and she shuns them.)
Jeff clarifies that Krista was trying to say that once they get rid of the two outsiders it is the six of them - are you implying there are no sub-alliances within this group.
- She lays it out: how she sees it that they seem to be in pairs- Mike and Steve, Julie and Steve, Sarita and Ralph - so I don't know where that leaves Dave.(Oh, that got him thinking.) If I were one of those pairs I'd been jumping on us to make it 4.
So Mike, the trouble with making it obvious who you want to vote out is they come to tribal with both barrels loaded.
- What she doesn't know is there has been lots of talk of strategy among our six but she's been the odd man out so she hasn't seen any of it.
Steven, so you've narrowed it down to two - how do you decide who to keep to help you win the next challenge?
-Well, I would have been happier with David doing the calling today.
So Stephanie, is it fair of them to say we gave you the money spot today and you didn't deliver so you should go home. (Of course that's fair but let's see what she said)
-I just have to rely on my record with them - hopefully they realize I've done my best in every other challenge. (Hmm, I was waiting for some throwing under the bus... disappointed.)
-Krista and Stephanie stick together to the end and say they knew it would be one or the other of them tonight but they still have Redemption Island and they have to hold together because they have nothing else to hold on to. (Oh, gag me, I'm not buying the wounded bird routine.)
They vote:
And show us nothing - but it's raining like crazy again.
Tallying the votes:
Steve 1, 2
Krista 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... And Blond #3 - Krista is voted out to Redemption Island. (She and Matt would make beautiful babies.) Stephanie tells her to hang in there and the rest of the tribe looks like they're going to have Stephanie for dinner when they get back...
Next week: Matt struggles in the duel and a girls spa day causes a Phillip melt down - "Get off your butts and do something!" He's the redheaded step-child! (Ha, he is bringing some life to the party, got to say that for him.)
Have a great St Paddy's Day everyone,
Coleen

- She lays it out: how she sees it that they seem to be in pairs- Mike and Steve, Julie and Steve, Sarita and Ralph - so I don't know where that leaves Dave.(Oh, that got him thinking.) If I were one of those pairs I'd been jumping on us to make it 4.
So Mike, the trouble with making it obvious who you want to vote out is they come to tribal with both barrels loaded.
- What she doesn't know is there has been lots of talk of strategy among our six but she's been the odd man out so she hasn't seen any of it.
Steven, so you've narrowed it down to two - how do you decide who to keep to help you win the next challenge?
-Well, I would have been happier with David doing the calling today.
So Stephanie, is it fair of them to say we gave you the money spot today and you didn't deliver so you should go home. (Of course that's fair but let's see what she said)
-I just have to rely on my record with them - hopefully they realize I've done my best in every other challenge. (Hmm, I was waiting for some throwing under the bus... disappointed.)
-Krista and Stephanie stick together to the end and say they knew it would be one or the other of them tonight but they still have Redemption Island and they have to hold together because they have nothing else to hold on to. (Oh, gag me, I'm not buying the wounded bird routine.)
They vote:
And show us nothing - but it's raining like crazy again.
Tallying the votes:
Steve 1, 2
Krista 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... And Blond #3 - Krista is voted out to Redemption Island. (She and Matt would make beautiful babies.) Stephanie tells her to hang in there and the rest of the tribe looks like they're going to have Stephanie for dinner when they get back...
Next week: Matt struggles in the duel and a girls spa day causes a Phillip melt down - "Get off your butts and do something!" He's the redheaded step-child! (Ha, he is bringing some life to the party, got to say that for him.)
Have a great St Paddy's Day everyone,
Coleen
