Survivor - Heros vs Villians

[Ghoulish Delight]

We noticed that Rob had a shirt under his head, seemed a convenient place for a shirt to fall. And Geri is a terrible actress. Definitely staged.

Stephanie needed to go. James lost it, went way too far with his reaction, but his reason was right on. Okay, not the part about her being the reason her tribe always lost, that was silly, but during that challenge, she wouldn't stop talking and she refused to accept that she was wrong. She bugged me this episode and I'm glad she's gone.

Sad to see gravedigger-with-a-heart-of-gold James suddenly lose his sh.t. He said some seriously stupid things, especially at tribal.

I'm glad she's gone too.

I, for one, thought she deserved to be told to shut up when she was leaving tribal. The rules say "leave immediately", probably to avoid stuff like that. Stephanie can't keep her mouth shut.

It's amazing how quickly the heroes are turning on one another. james is losing it, Tom tried to stand up and do the right thing in defending Stephanie but he ignored the issue to which James was referring, JT is pulling a Russell and aligning with everyone he can.....haven't really decided who I'm pulling for.

What is with Courtney cursing people? In the first show she said Stephenie should have her shoulder pulled out, and it was. In this last ep she said that if Rob fell down dead the Villains tribe would be screwed.

The Heroes may be useless in challenges and about to come apart...but damn can they build a shelter! Did you see that thing, it was practically Gilligan's Island quality.

Gee Randy, you never felt a part of the tribe? That couldn't possibly be because you're a self-professed anti social jerk who hates all other people, now could it? Nah, clearly it's because everyone else is shallow*, you're right.


*ETA: Oh wait, right, Parvati IS Shallow.

That was a serious beat down in that challenge.

After that challenge, and James' continued stupid behavior, CP and I were discussing the idea that at some point they should have each tribe vote on which of their tribe mates was acting most like they belonged on the other tribe (i.e., Villains vote for the most heroic-acting on their tribe and Heroes vote for most villainous on theirs), and make the "winners" switch tribes.

That would be really cool. Excellent idea.

My wife and I were talking last night about other version of survivor that would be cool. We thought of a couples version, with 5 men and 5 women on each team, and their significant other on the other team. Would put a huge new strategic element into the game as far as whether or not to reveal who your partner is, how they played into strategies going into the merge, etc, etc, etc.

I like the spouses idea.

Here's another one...

Randy's bizarreness made me think there should be an Asperger's season, where everyone has some sort of social disorder. Just throw the social game one hell of a curve.
