Survivor 20 results - week 3

Nothing really too interesting happened this episode.  The reward/immunity challenge was so lopsided, with the Heroes winning every single matchup of the "king of the hill" contest.  Personally, I think the producers purposely picked that challenge to even the tribes up a little, because it was obvious which tribe was going to win in a shoving match.

The villains are right... James is so classless that he should have been with them (he threw his cushion down on Randy after pushing him off the platform, and then mouthed off to the other team).  Even though he was popular in his previous appearances on the show, it wasn't because he was virtuous - not sure why they picked him as a hero - he's a jerk like the rest of the Villains.

In the end, I think the Villains made a stupid move by voting off Randy, and I hope Parvati takes most of them out one way or another.  Oh yeah, it's hilarious that Russell hid the machete to stir up some trouble in his tribe, and I hope he gets to hide Rob's hat too.

So I had Randy in the pool (I felt he really deserved to go farther because he's a smart guy), as well as 11 others - he was the least picked in the pool.  That puts me in a tie in last place with the family foursome entry, and there are still 17 entries still unscathed at the top.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Survivor 20 results - week 2

The show fooled us into thinking that Boston Rob might have to be medically evacuated... then he recovers enough from his flu to almost single-handedly win the immunity challenge for the Villains.  This show is starting to prove that it "doesn't pay to be nice".  So James goes off on Stephanie back at the Heroes camp and at tribal council, where Colby and Tom step in to defend her.  Unfortunately, that doesn't stop her from being voted out.  Heroes-0, Villains-2.

21 entries in the pool had Stephanie, including me, and now I'm in a 4-way battle for last place.  22 entries are still standing unscathed.

Next week, the previews show James going even more crazy about losing - which makes me think that the show is trying to mislead us again and that someone else will be going home.  We'll see.  Have a good Friday and weekend everyone.

Survivor 20 results - week 1

What a good episode.  It felt like an all-time reunion show, but they're playing the game at the same time.  People who actually have watched the show will appreciate this season especially.  Right off the start there's a reward challenge and Stephenie dislocates her shoulder and gets it popped back in, and Rupert breaks one of his toes in 2 places.  Coach goes back to being his self-proposed "dragon-slayer".  Boston Rob impresses everyone by making a fire without flint.  Russell goes about his old ways of aligning with everyone he can.  Sugar goes about crying again, which pretty much gets her voted off after the Heroes screw up their big lead in the immunity challenge when it came to the puzzle part.  Heroes - 0, Villains - 1.

Only 56 entries in the pool this season.  My connection in the Taxation Centre no longer works there.  However, I felt there was still enough money for 4 top-place prizes and one last place prize.  So Sugar is the first contestant out, and I have to reiterate this for the new people to the pool - entries that have lost a pick early have come back and won prizes (even 1st), so don't worry nor get too confident.  This pool is about making big comebacks at the end, if you've picked the remaining few contestants.  I say this because I'm one of the 17 that picked Sugar and need to reassure myself.

Have a great weekend everyone!
