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.
