Results - week 7

So Foa Foa is still losing... first they lost the memory game reward challenge and then the physical/puzzle immunity challenge.  It's funny how evil Russel is whining about how they're down in numbers compared to the other tribe, when he was the one poisoning his own tribe from the start - claiming to be weeding out the week and making everyone his zombies.  Looks like that strategy is working out for him.

So the Foa Foa tribe voted out Liz.  27 entries in the pool had her, including top-place Michelle who is now tied with 3 others with 8 picks left, and last-place Louie (that has a nice ring to it) who is the only one to have only 3 picks left.

Next week the tribes merge into one, according to the preview, and it also looks like the Galu tribe goes after their own tribemates rather than eliminating the other smaller tribe.  That's dumb.  Have a happy Halloween everyone,

Pretty dramatic episode tonight.  The rain continued the pound the contestants endlessly - but both evil Russell (Hantz) of the Foa Foa tribe and good Russell (Swan) of the Galu tribe were not deterred by it.  Both of them did some campwork while their tribemates fought for warmth.  Unfortunately, good Russell pushed his body too hard and at the reward challenge passed out twice, causing the challenge to be cancelled and for him to be medically evacuated and taken out of the game.  Even Jeff the host said it was the scariest moment of all 19 seasons of Survivor.  This event saved both tribes from having to vote out one of their own, which was the plan.  It's sad to see good Russell leave the game that way... it would have been interesting to see him against evil Russell when the tribes merge.

26 entries in the pool had Russel Swan, except for Michelle, who remains perfect at the top and continues to build her total points lead.  There's still a 3-way tie for last place.  Have a good weekend everyone.

Tonight's episode was just alright... I don't have too much to say.  The tribes ate pretty gross stuff at the reward challenge, and Ashley pretty much sealed her fate by throwing up and losing it for her tribe.  The purple Galu tribe was feeling the pain from not choosing the tarp from their reward challenge victory a few episodes ago, because the rain pummeled both tribes pretty hard for days.  And Liz figured out that Russell H probably has one of the immunity idols.  We'll see how that plays out next week.

Only 20 people in the pool had Ashley.  Michelle still remains perfect at the top end there is now a 3-way tie for last place.  Have a great weekend everyone,

Pretty interesting show this week.  The reward challenge was only completed by 3 people from each tribe, and was a bocce ball challenge (something my office knows all about)!  The final shot by contestant Dave on the losing purple Galu team was so clutch, so crucial, so climactic... and so dramatic when he turned it into the winning shot!  I haven't seen a bocce ball shot like that since Denise's last shot in the finals against my team, her shot that turned the tides and won the tournament at our office xmas party (in the snow no less!).  Denise, I'm still pretty bitter about that.

Anyways, back to the show... Erik from the Galu team found the immunity idol hidden at their camp using the clues Shambo told him, and Shambo lost a chicken won from their reward challenge.  But when Galu lost the immunity challenge, the tribe chose not to vote out Monica, who performed the worst at the challenge, but instead voted out Yasmin, who performed well at challenges but didn't do much around camp.

In the pool, Michelle is the only one standing with no picks lost, and there are still two tied for last place.  It's way too early in the show for anyone to be confident though.  See y'all next week.

Well, the self-destructing yellow Foa Foa tribe lost the combined reward/immunity challenge again.  I thought the innovation behind the challenge was pretty lame.  I'm not going to get into the Jaison/Ben conflict, but I will say that I don't know why evil Russell Hantz is so smug about being the puppeteer of a losing tribe, and all because of his doing.  When or if the tribe's merge, his idol might save him from one tribal council, but I think he won't last past two.

Anyway, tribe Foa Foa got rid of the poison of the tribe, Ben, who was one of the more popular picks in the pool - he looked good on paper before the show started anyways.  Only 3 pool entries remain unscathed at the top so far, and 2 entries at the bottom have lost all four contestants that have been booted to date.

Have a great weekend everyone.  I'll be posting the results from Thunder Bay next week.
