Hilarious episode, thanks for the links guys!! I really like the challenges they've put together this year. Erik and Dave's reactions at tribal were pure gold, Dave actually looked like he was amused by Russell's checkmate. Laura looked like she was grinding her teeth down to nubs, Monica's facial muscles started twitching. Shambo seems to be playing more wisely, learning to keep her mouth closed and her reactions in keeping with Galu loyalty.

Looking forward to next week. How desperate are they to chase Russell all over tarnation instead of looking for the idol themselves. What, are they going to grab it out of his hands if he finds it?

I still don't like Russell, but I am probably rooting for him at this point. He's playing this game as hard as anyone I can recall.

I absolutely want Laura gone next, but then again I don't because watching her and Russell out-prick each other is extremely entertaining.

Kelly? Is delusional if she thinks she deserved to stay in the game over Russell. I've disliked her since she was carrying on at Big Russell to get his head off the table when he was passed out. I know she didn't know, but it still annoyed the crap out of me. Glad she's gone.

I agree with Pamy's whole post!

I also got a kick out of Shambo giving Russ a peck on the cheek when he showed her the idol.

I was hoping that Mick would have won that challenge. I'm loving Natalie too!

I wish we got to see if anyone explained (or lied)to Shambo about why no one told her about the Erik vote.

They took Kelly out, as I understand it, because she was buddies with Laura. They see Laura as the most dangerous player on Galu, and wanted to wreck Laura's game. By her reaction, I think she agrees.

It was one of the best Survivor shows Evah!

I'm not a Russell fan, but he certainly does play the game.

In the conversation between Russell and Shambo they discussed who to take out and Shambo said that Monica wasn't really liked by the Galu guys so that when it came time to vote out one of their own she would probably be an easy out, but that nobody had really developed any strong feeling one way or the other for Kelly so getting her out would make more sense.

I can see why they voted Kelly ... she wasn't a threat, but she added strength to Laura.... I am only sorry that they didn't vote out Dave.

Yeah, I see how she added strength to Laura by being a loyal follower, but it seemed like they didn't even think of getting out any of the men. It might be because they know Shambo is still at least partially loyal to the guys and maybe they feared she would let on..? I don't know. It was just such a rare chance to get out anyone they wanted from Galu, that I thought they would choose more boldly.

If they're not careful the final five are so are going to be all those lookalike guys plus David and Russell, if he can hang on by the skin of his teeth.

Didn't they say something about breaking up the all-girl alliance?
Maybe that is why Kelly was targeted.

From a post I made on Jeff's Blog site:

Funny thing about him finding the second idol. He assumed that the idol was there because there was one at his campsite and he naturally assumed there would be one at Galu also.

There was, but Erik found that one and failed to use it. Another was placed there and the Galu people were informed on their reward trip.

So the idol he found was a replacement for the original one which Erik found early on.

If he had known Erik had found the first idol, he probably would not have been looking,

By the way, did ANYONE know Erik had the first idol? I thought he shared it with a girl but can't remember who.

Are you all starting to root for Russell now? I am, and I'm wondering if others' opinion of him has changed too.

the last 2 shows have been some of the best shows in survivor history. war russell!

if he keeps it up and can make a f3 or even win it, then he would go down as the 2nd best player ever in survivor history (rich S1) in my opinion.

a lot of his comments in my opinion are just his schtick for camera time. i dont take them at face value.

Where are they getting their water from. Most seasons there is a big tado over getting their water? Anyone know, thanks.

This was the first episode of the season that I thoroughly enjoyed. I came thisclose to not even watching, thankfully I did. Because the looks on their faces were priceless. Even Eric sitting all alone on loser bench gave us some hysterical body language.

like everyone here I think last night show was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! I have totally changed my opinion of Russell! I hated him for his rude comments on the first 2 ep. but looooving him now! I'm rooting for him even though I'm pretty sure he will be gone in the next couple of weeks. He has the biggest target on his back and luck will run out for him. (I hope I'm wrong). Let just say Jeff was right when at the beginning of the season saying this guy had quite an entertainment value. The others looks so beige compare to him. Brett who?

Once the "purple" team is picked off Russ will be the first to go unless his awesomeness starts wining immunity. I'm very cool with that. I think they'll keep Shambo longer than they'll keep Russ.

What I don't understand is why Foa Foa, in what is probably one of the few times when they can pretty much guarantee getting one of Galu out, didn't target a stronger endgame player? Why not someone who was liked or strong or strategic? Instead they got out Kelly! Why?!

Great show though!

--------
ITA, why not vote out one of the Galu guys????

I love how Jeff made Galu sit and wait to see who would be voted out! Awesome show!

I only like Russell on the show. I would never want to know him in real life. He is an excellent survivor competitor though.

If anyone watches or re-watches this episode, please check who is in on the rat-eating! I think they were all Foa Foa and wonder if the footage - which was too excellent to dump - might actually be pre-merge. I mention this up-thread, but it got archived before anyone responded.

No, that one guy was there. The one none of us know who he is. He's kind of cute. So it wasn't just Foa Foa.

Loved that episode! During tribal the looks on the faces of the Galus was priceless. I laughed at Eric's reactions of how pleased he was to see Foa Foa vote out one of his old tribe. Russell is amazing at the way he thinks ahead of the game. However, it appeared to me during the immunity challenge when he snared his last bag he had a smirk on his face and wasn't pulling fast enough until Jeff mentioned Laura had hers and I think it made Russell lose his bag. At least that's what I think I saw.

Kitt I wondered as well why Foa Foa didn't vote out a stronger player. I could barely remember who Kelly was.

It looked to me like Russell was pulling slow because the hook wasn't secure on the bag and if he pulled too hard he would lose it. When he sped up pulling, he DID lose it. I was freaking out watching, hoping that Laura would NOT win. I was so disappointed to see Shambo and Mick go against Laura in the final because those 2 are not all that great at puzzle challenges.

Beekind, Yes Brett! I'm 99.99% sure we saw footage of him eating rat and then high fiving her.

when I saw that puzzle they had to do for the immunity challenge I immediately thought "Perfection!" Anyone else remember that game? You had the little shape pieces you had to put in place. If you ran out of time they all popped out at you and into the air scaring you half to death!

Maybe the rat scene actually took place while the other team was away for the reward? Seems like Brett was on the losing team, with all Fao Fao members otherwise.

Yes, that one of the best Survivors ever! I even found Russell somewhat likable, while he was feeling vulnerable. The look of relief when the first vote was "Russell" & he knew his plan worked. I rewound and rewatched the Tribal Council part because it was hysterical. But now I may have to rewatch the whole show, just for kicks.

Here's my fav exit interview website:

That was a good interview Biscottiii... I found it interesting when Kelly said:

I think the one thing that Russell is forgetting is that he's treating all of us like game pieces on a board. Not once has he connected with anyone on an emotional level. So I think that could catch up to him and bite him in the ass in the long run.

She could be right!
