Survivor - Heros vs Villians

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Cirie really blew it this time. Every time we saw her she was telling people they were dumb and ordering people around. I think she's gotten too full of herself as a player to actually play well.

Agreed.

The difference in how the hidden idol clue was handled in the two tribes was very intriguing. It would be pure irony if finding the idol was Russell's undoing.

Did the other players get a chance to see Russel's season before this one began?

Geri said something on the first episode that seemed to indicate they had.

Just checking. If they had seen it then they are showing their own stupidity at not thinking he would find the idol.

To me, Coach seemed most upset that Rob had been ignoring him.

I don't think any of them were dumb enough to think that he wouldn't try, or that no one would try. Hell, most of them, if not all of them, were probably harboring their own thoughts of looking for it in secret themselves. But Russel got such a hard-on once heard "hidden immunity" he couldn't even be bothered to be smart about looking for it. "I'm going for a walk"? Did he really expect that to fool anyone?

She had a general comment about the type of player he is but I don't think she/they saw his episodes otherwise the general attitude around camp would have been: Russel, what the hell did you do with the machete?

Double You Tee Eff? All that and Candace still voted Tom? Weird.

I found that strange as well.

I know many people don't watch previews, so I'll tag it -

Spoiler:

Next week looks like some serious testosterone issues between Rob and Russell for alpha male dominance. I am trying to figure out who my money is on. Russell will play the hidden immunity idol the next time they go to tribal, but Rob will know that, so does Rob lead the vote for someone else and get Russell to play it, or does he flush it out with the vote for Russell and Russell is able to garner enough votes against Rob?

As it stands now, Only Coach seems to be backing Russel. Parv is just stringing him along to take the heat off herself. Making the odds 2 vs 7. So if the tribe (by which I mean Rob) wants Russel gone then at the next tribal they vote 4 and 3 on Russel and Parv. If Russel plays the idol he goes home the following tribal, if not then his torch get's snuffed. Russel has some serious lobbying to do before the next tribal.

Of course since the "Heros" kept hop-along there is a good chance Russel will be safe until the merge by virtue of never going back to tribal.

CP and I were discussing the Heroes' continued puzzle failures. It occurred to me, the "villains", by and large, were tagged as "villains" because they betrayed people, broke alliances, made underhanded deals. In short, they're schemers. It's really not that surprising that schemers are better at puzzles.
