Survivor is on tonight and is being advertised as a double elimination.

I LOVED tonight's votes!

The look on Rob's face made the whole season worth watching.

Wow is Tyler a sucker. Wow.

While Tyson was gullible, i once again have to tip my hat to Russell. He knew they'd split their vote, and he knew that Tyson knew he was the target of the three on the outside. It was incredibly gutsy to play it like he did, as it was the only way he could get the outcome he desired.

Both Rob and Russel played that perfectly. Russel won the coin toss.

Rob now has some serious clout - he can point at Tyson and say "see what happens when you don't stick to the plan?" I love that the others are just pawns in the war between Russell and Rob.

That was awesome! Watching Rob and Russel duke it out strategically was really fun. It's like watching a fight between 2 ninjas.

Anyone else figure that the double elimination thing happened because the producers realized that there was just no other way the villains were going to go to tribal and the Rob vs. Russel showdown was too juicy to not go down?

Also, coincidence that it was a challenge where Jame's injury was a personal detriment but didn't really hurt the tribe?

I was pretty surprised that James ended up going. It seemed to me like JT and Rupert's attitude with the whole beach run thing was, "Umm, this is silly, if you say you're good you say you're good," and while he obviously wasn't full strength I thought he proved that he was mobile enough to get through a challenge. At least as well as doesn't-give-a-crap-Colby.

But major props to the heroes for sticking to Colby's advice and keeping their mouths shut during tribal. "Our strongest guy is hurt. This other guy doesn't give a sh*t anymore." Nothing that the villains didn't already know.

I have a feeling Colby is going to get worse, not better.

I didn't feel like there was any sort of conspiracy on the part of the producers as far as having two tribals. That is a pretty common occurance in past Survivor seasons.
