Ozzy's knit bikini wearing sweet little hammock cuddle has been given the torch snuff, without letting him know beforehand.

Who around camp will be there to keep telling him over&over&over what a great/wonderful/Godlike guy he is? Will Ozzy whine? Doesn't Ozzy remember from his past experiences that Girls can sure get him into trouble on Survivor?

I dunno. But I have no doubt we will find out tonight!

And on tonight's Survivor:

At Savaii, we have night vision and Ozzy is mopey because he wasn't on the right side of a blindside. Keith is trying to insist that we can work things out, but Ozzy feels the blindside "made me look like an idiot"--did it really take the blindside?--and tells the rest of the group he's going to be a free agent. Whitney says she doesn't understand why he's taking it 'so personal,' but I'm sure she means "personally." Finally, Ozzy reveals to them that he has the idol and reminds them that there's such a thing as "redemption" here, so they'd better look out, cuz Ozzy with his long curls is going to get all pomade-y on their asses.

At Savaii, Ozzy is still kvetching that they voted out Elyse and he's still trying to be the provider and he's a big part of this tribe, so his tribemates have to trust him.

Dawn thinks Ozzy needs to apologize or, as Whitney says, "man up." Jim, the marijuana dispenser/poker player, is recapping everything we learned in the first five minutes and says that this is working out better than he ever hoped. Woody Allen says Ozzy is behaving like a "stupid ," and thanks, Woody, you're every bit as misogynist as your filmic namesake.

Coach is yapping and telling us that Hantz 2.0 is going to be disappointed somewhere down the line, but oh well. Hantz is lucky! He found the clue and thinks he has a leg up on everything without knowing Coach has the HII. But Coach says he promised to play this game as "Christian men" and I'm not sure what that means, and then contorts himself into pretzels trying to rationalize not telling Hantz 2.0 he has the idol. But Coach does notice that Hantz 2.0 has his uncle's walk.

Albert's heart is broken--not by me!--but because poor little Hantz 2.0 is searching so hard for the HII. Coach talks about how seeing Hantz 2.0 is giving him flashbacks to Heroes vs. Villains and I realize that I have tried to repress those memories myself.

RI Duel:

Elyse wants to believe that her tribe is rooting for her. Christine is teary because RI has become her home and "it can break you. It sucks."

Elyse and Christine are going to play a Survivor version of shuffleboard. This has the makings of the most exciting duel ever! I'm sure jeff will be talking in exclamation points the whole time. As with the rest of the duels, this is inexorably boring, but it's livened up by Rick, with the gay 70s porn star stache, who finally utters a sentence, so Christine, wanting his silence, gives him the finger.


"Did you see that?" Rick asks Mikayla.

"Yeah," Mikayla responds.

Scintillating TV.

Even Probst doesn't seem to be into this challenge and, really, you almost think both the players want to go home, but Christine wins again and you can tell Christine is saying to herself, "shit! How did I manage to WIN that?!"

Elyse, your adventure is over, and Christine, your quest continues. Rick again speaks! He tells her to stay strong and then, in a confessional, lets us know that if Christine comes back, she's going to have fire in her eyes. And Rick has now equaled the amount of speaking he did in all the previous episodes.

At Upolo, Rick tells us it was weird at the RI duel and Mikayla is angry that Christina is so negative and she'd "be the worst person back" from RI.

Edna has been trying to get in good with Coach since she realized she's not part of the alliance. She tries to convince Coach she'd be a great teammate, and Coach is telling her that Mikayla is the next to go, so Edna feels more reassured. Part of me is wishing for a torrential rainfall now to make the game a little exciting. But instead Coach and Edna talk about getting ready for battle "even if it gets ugly."

To try to repair the damage he's done, Ozzy approaches Keith and they talk about teaming up to go to the end. And now, because Ozzy's never been the most strategic player, he says he regrets saying anything about the idol.

But when he goes to the tribe, Jim is skeptical and Woody Allen looks at him like, "whatever," but he doesn't dare to say anything because, whatever he might say about Ozzy, I'm convinced it's Woody himself who's the "stupid ."

This is not the best-ever episode of Survivor. You can believe that.

RC/IC:

Challenge: Assemble a wheel barrow, load it with coconuts, disassemble the wheel barrow, then shoot coconuts at a target. Reward is going on a picnic punch at a place called sliding rocks. Edna sits out the challenge for Upolo.

Savaii and Upolo slip the wheel barrows at the same time. Ozzy and Dawn have difficulty working together. Rick and Brandon are doing well. Ozzy and Dawn can't get the hang of it. Upolo continues to work well together. Upolo has a big head start as a shirtless Albert is knocking down targets. Hello, Albert! Coach is annoyed at Mikayla who's not even getting things near the target, but she doesn't want to give up. Albert knows exactly where to shoot it and *splat* the coconut's white juice flies everywhere.

Where was I?

Jim is doing well. So is Keith. Jim is a target-shooting, juice-flying savant. Could Coach be any angrier? You know he can barely control himself and Albert, in disgust, turns his back as Savaii celebrates. "I need people in the heat of battle to listen to me," Coach tells the cam in a confessional.

Savaii is at the reward, where Ozzy tells them the #1 thing to learn from it is to stay calm. Dawn is being all like a mom, handing out sandwiches and telling them to enjoy themselves and telling a diving Ozzy he's crazy! Those kids, running around the pool all the time and not respecting the rules I took so long to put in place! But at least Woody Allen is a good role model. He is too scared to dive those crazy dives and he slides inelegantly down the rocks, leaving aside his trusty, rusty sweater vest.

At Upolo, that darned Mikayla wasn't "coachable" in the tribe. Albert, shirtless and delicious,tells Mikayla he's got her back and Coach will listen to him. Mikayla trusts "Al," but I'm telling you, he is NOT an "Al." He's an Alberto, perhaps, or a Berto, but not an Al.

So there's discussion about Edna vs. Mikayla. Rick shirtless is an image I'd like to forget. ow Albert talks to Hantz 2.0, who would like to turn back time--very Cher-like of you, Hantz 2.0; are you sure you aren't gay?--and he thinks Edna is beting too sweet and too nice. That's a very Christian sentiment of him.

Sophie has been silent all this time, but she finally tells us Hantz 2.0 is "nuts" and then Albert says you can't talk strategy to Hantz 2.0 for more than five minutes. The problem with Mikayla, according to Coach, is that she's just not subservient enough to his wishes. Albert sees through this and says that the only reason Coach wants to keep Edna is because she's in his back pocket.

Now....Coach is going behind Albert's back and talking to Rick. The team is obviously divided and Rick knows he's between an immovable force and...whatever the lyrics of "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" are.

TC:

Edna realizes she's the scrawniest and the last picked at school. Hantz 2.0 talks about the importance of the numbers getting to the merge, but you have to have loyal people, too. But what if these are in opposition, Albert? Albert says you have to go to the merge strong and worry about the loyalty then. Sophie agrees. Hantz 2.0 rolls his eyes. Coach says, "honor, loyalty, integrity." But Albert says you can fake loyalty, but you can't fake skillz, baby.

Now Hantz 2.0 is spilling more secrets until he finally quotes Lincoln talking about how a house divided against itself is sure to fail to get to the merge strong. Lincoln said that when he was having a fight with Mary Todd. Now coach lectures us about not being TOO HONEST Hantz 2.0. He's obviously reflecting back to hi secrets about the HII. But Hantz 2.0 says, you know, nowadays--I hate when people say "nowadays"--people try to say, oh it's just a cigarette, or just some marijuana, or just a small case of herpes, but it's all lasciviousness! No shades of gray. And Hantz lives in a sad world.

Mikayla
Edna
Mikayla
Edna
Mikayla
Edna
.....Mikayla

Coach winks at Edna. Hantz 2.0 acts like he's a genius. And then Coach and Hantz 2.0--literally!--express their love for each other.

...If they could turn back time!
If they could find a way!
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay...

So far the only people voted off the island are chicks and the gay guy. I'm not really feeling this season anymore.

Next time on....Survivor!

Ozzy doesn't want to go to RI, but if it's due or die, he will go.

Coach is leading some prayer.

Mikayla says that when Brandon has a blowup, it's always against a stronger woman. Christine asks whether she was blindsided and Mikayla says, "you know. Crazy Brandon."

GAL, I hadn't realized that, but you're right. I don't know whether I'm not feeling this season, but this episode was one of the worst I've seen of the series.

Off to Modern Family

ETA: Just noticed tons of typos tonight. Sorry about that, folks.

Brandon thinks the world is black or white and there is no gray? Most of the decisions we make are in a gray area, if they weren't there'd be nothing to decide. What planet is he on?

Brilliant spoiling as usual!

My Tishala "picks of the night" are:
"I'm sure jeff will be talking in exclamation points the whole time." and
"very Cher-like of you".

I was just telling my sister last night that there really isn't anyone I like too much this season. They all kinda get on my nerves. As opposed to The Amazing Race, where I like everyone.

I have to say I enjoyed watching ozzie's pity party and then his realization that it might not be the best game move. I dont really like anyone either except the woman on redemtion Island. Loved how she gave her team the finger, that really is so me. Honestly, If I was voted off the island I would give the finger to my ex team mates as they tried to cheer me on. It would be great if she goes all the way and they can just sweat.

Just remember Matt won all the battles at Redemption, went back into the game and immediately got voted out.

"Coach" sure is something. "Edna will do what I tell her to do." Ugh. That man makes me sick. Anybody else noticing how Coach wants to play the game with "honesty and integrity", but that only applies to how others deal with him. He is free to keep all the secrets he wants and do whatever is best for him, even if it is not good for his team-mates. I wonder how Brandon is going to react when he finds out that Coach had the idol all this time and didn't tell him?
