Okey-Dokey - Let's start out this week's thread by saying that ......

The boot List spoiled last summer/fall by SU (SurvivorsUnite) has been right on. All the trimmings that have been spoiled by Blackwhale have now had two incorrect IC winners predicted. First it was Danielle winning IC at F10, and now it's Russell winning IC at F7. But, a lot of other stuff in the show was correct.....plus we have to remember that what is spoiled, and then what is edited to the way we actually see the show could be off. I didn't get the feel last night that it was the girls that wanted Candice off until Russell said something like that in a confessional......and I really think she got the boot cause Rupert and Colby played it smart.

So, keeping in mind that Blackwhale has now spoiled two IC's incorrectly, I bring you this summary of spoiling on Episode 13 from the TDT website. Per the boot list, that has been spot on since Day 1, Rupert gets the boot this week.
**********************************
Cut and pasted from TDT:
Here are some of the spoiler details about Rupert's boot:
- survivorsims07 (10/13/09): "I am usually not the type to come across this kind of information, but I did receive word about how far Rupert went in Survivor 20. According to my source, Rupert makes it to at least the final six because his wife was flown out to location and got to be on the show."
- survivrcuz (10/15/09): "[Rupert] does participate in the family challenge."
- SurvivorsUnite (10/26/09): [Rupert ends up in 6th place].

Updates: More detailed story of Rupert's boot, from blackwhale: "At tribal council on day 36, everyone was surprised when Sandra pulled out an immunity idol. They again underestimated her and didn't expect that she could find one on her own. Sandra didn't need that idol, she only got 2 votes from Rupert and Colby. But Rupert left the game in tears. As everyone found out after Rupert's departure, he had the opportunity to advance in the game if he was willing to be flexible and look past the previous vote. Apparently, Sandra wanted to give him the idol to eliminate Russell once and for all. When she offered him a way to stay in the game, without offering up details, he did not trust her as a result of her vote. Instead, he sought reprieve from Russell, who voted to save him at the final 7. After a confrontation between Sandra and Russell, she knew that Rupert had told on her. The idol she planned to hand to him, she used for herself."

Here's the transcript of the scene where the voting takes place to oust Candice:
********************************

Tribal Council Voting 1

Find out what everyone had to say as they cast their votes

Colby (Candice): At the end of tonight, one of us is probably going home. I can honestly say I'm proud of the way I played this game. (shows vote) Can you?

Parvati (Rupert): You are such a grumpy bear. If this vote doesn't send you home, my next one will, guaranteed.

Russell ("Candace"): <says nothing>

Danielle (Rupert): <says nothing>

Rupert (Candice): For 30 days, I tried to protect you. Today, you cheer against me. You really are a Villain.

Candice (Rupert): My mother always told me if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. SO that's all I've got to say.

Jerri (Candice with a smiley face): If you're willing to flip on your own tribe, then it just shows me you are in this to win more than the other two, and thus you're the biggest threat.

Sandra (Candace with a smiley face): Candice, I told you this would happen if you flipped to the Villains side. Villains don't like anyone flipping. That's why it was better for me to go to the Heroes. You would have been saved, and now you have to go home. Now you have to face Amanda. Adios.

And then, here's the transcript for the 2nd TC voting of the episode:
************************************

Tribal Council Voting 2

Find out what everyone had to say as they cast their votes

Danielle (Rupert): <says nothing>

Parvati (Rupert): OK, second time's a charm, right? Isn't that what they say? Hopefully you're going home tonight.

Russell ("Danellie"): You're closer to Parvati than I think. That makes me think ya'll got something going on, and you may eventually blindside me like you wanted to her. I have to cut that tie so Parvati can stay and maybe I can trust her a little better. I don't know.

Sandra (Rupert with a smiley face): Rupert, this vote was not intended for you, but after listening to all that fighting out there, I'd go I couldn't risk writing Colby's name down and you not going home, because I can't let Danielle go right now. Adios.

Rupert (Danielle): Boy, I hope it's you going home and not me. I wanna crack that Villains alliance, and I want the Villains to help me.

Jerri (Danielle with a sad face): I have absolutely no idea what just happened, I was coming here tonight to vote for Rupert, but with this vote I feel like I am sealing my fate for the final 3. I'm willing to take the risk.

Colby (Danielle): Somebody has to go tonight, I just hope it's not me. No hard feelings.

Here's Jeff's Blog for the week:
*****************************

Rupert: “There are no other heroes.”

Oh Rupert, I still love you, but after this season concludes you need shave the beard and create a new persona. The one has grown tired. The lovable pirate who always puts integrity ahead of winning has served you very well and you will always be one of the most popular Survivors ever. But it’s time for a change. Listen, to be fair – I know I could take the same advice myself. Get me a new haircut, a different colored shirt and maybe some new dialogue, cause I’m sure the same argument could be made for me. The Probst act has grown tired.

But, I’m the one writing the blog so that means I’m going to continue to focus my attention outward on everyone else… and leaving the inward thinking for my therapy sessions.

There were a few themes this episode. Morality, hypocrisy and exhaustion. All three of them in full force.

It started with Rupert and Colby’s character assassination of Candice.

The reason we brought Candice back as a hero in the first place was because she stayed loyal to her alliance in the Cook Islands. This time she is playing a different game. Surprise, she wants to win. But to listen to Rupert and Colby you’d think she had committed treason or some other terrible crime against humanity.

Colby: “Candice is so weak. She’s so pathetic.”
Rupert: “Self centered, greedy, manipulative. She killed us. Candice is a pitiful player.”

Really? Isn’t she just playing Survivor like everybody else. This exchange really stood out to me as a stunning example of what happens when you are tired and frustrated and looking for someone or some thing else to blame it on. I don’t really think Candice is all those things anymore than I think Rupert is the savior he believes himself to be. It’s all part of playing Survivor and the game is simply taking its toll on these intrepid but exhausted folks.

Case in point…

RUSSELL & RUPERT THE ARGUMENT
There is no doubt left in my mind. The enormous emotional wear and tear of back-to back Survivors is severely impacting Russell’s game. The man is flat out tired. The kind of tired that makes you irritated just to be awake, but so tired you can’t fall asleep. The kind of tired that lets you know you’re gonna bite somebody’s head off before they even say a word, you’re just waiting for them to so much as breathe… like a snake in the grass. As a result, the microscopic filter system that Russell had been utilizing when in social situations is gone.

The ugliness that came out of his mouth while sitting across the fire from Rupert just made Russell one of the best candidates to take to the end because his chances of winning just took another nose dive. I’m not saying he can’t pull it out, but the odds are plummeting. It wasn’t even so much what he said it was how he said it. It was mean spirited, even for Russell.

I’m not making excuses for Russell when I say he’s exhausted. He’s done a very good job of showing his true colors. But I do believe that the emotional drain this show exacts is hard for the audience to truly understand.

The truly great players are “focused” on this game every single second of every single minute of every single day. That kind of intense focus is so exhausting that once the game ends, many Survivors take months to get back to normal. Think about it…you are in an environment that takes you out of your comfort zone, no creature comforts, where you cannot really trust anyone, where you have to watch your back at all times and on top of it all, you have to be thinking several moves ahead or you will lose the plot and your torch will be snuffed.

As I’ve said many times before, I’m eating and sleeping every day while we’re shooting and even I am exhausted at the end of a season. I was a disaster after our back to backs in Samoa. This game is nuts. This season has been the most intense season we’ve ever had. I’m amazed at the level of game play from these contestants. We may never see something like this again. It’s truly been a treat, but it’s taken its toll. Look at their faces, their body language.

On my list of players that are still 100% focused on the game and only the game, there are four: Parvati, Sandra, Russell and Danielle. All villains. I know that offends everybody else left in the game but here’s my rational:

Colby is certainly a good strategist but his head has been in and out of the game this season and leaves him vulnerable.

Rupert is a decent strategist, but he gets too lost in the morality of what he deems to be appropriate behavior. It’s wasted energy.

Candice is very smart but she doesn’t commit fast enough and it’s a fatal flaw.

Jerri just doesn’t have it in her DNA to only focus on the game. Jerri will take time to enjoy a moment or stare at a sunset… I mean really stare at the sunset…and though it’s a great quality in life, it’s not one that works well in this game.

This doesn’t mean Colby, Rupert, Candice and Jerri can’t make it to the end and win. I’m only pointing out that right now there are four people who are truly focused on this game and with each passing day the toll of the game will make it harder and harder for each of them to focus. Those who hold it together the longest have the best chance of winning.

FIRST IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
I continued to be amazed at how quickly people will step out of a challenge for food. It happens season after season. People voluntarily stepping out of a challenge for immunity. Nuts. They always blame it on “I wouldn’t have lasted long anyway.” But after 20 seasons I believe it is simply evidence of Maslows Hierarchy Of Needs: Physiological needs – breathing, food, water – will always win out. Playing Survivor does not even make the top five.

Much like Russell can’t help himself from saying ugly things with true malice, when you’re as hungry as these guys are, the desire to eat overpowers the less immediate desire to win a game show and a million dollars.

Sometimes I understand that people believe in their alliance so strongly that they do not feel they are in danger so they take the food. But Colby was a surprise. I’m sure by now Donaldson figures I’m picking on him but I’m really not. Well, a little. But come on, this is Colby Donaldson. There are expectations that come with being the original hero. One of them is you never give up. The Colby of old would have stayed in that challenge until his arm fell asleep, then held on as it turned blue and only would have given up when the doctors pulled him out due to gangrene setting in. But the Colby of 2010 is tired. He stepped out of another immunity challenge despite knowing he is a major target to be voted out.

Rupert & Parvati were the only two that hung in there. Parvati represented the villains, and her job was to defeat Rupert so they could vote him out at Tribal Council. Rupert knew his job – win the challenge so he could stay in the game. He did an admirable job, finally falling out due to a momentary loss of concentration. Sometimes that’s all it takes. Rupert, for all of my making fun of you becoming larger than life, I admire your effort in challenges.

Parvati wins another immunity challenge. Parvati is a player. She fights hard on all levels and she always wants to win. Always.

THE IDOL IS BACK IN PLAY
After Russell played the idol at the last tribal council it was put back in play and boy what fun it was to be able to read the clue to the contestants. You could anticipate the craziness that was going to take place back at camp.

And whadaya know, Sandra the lippiest Survivor in history finds the idol. The moment just after she found it – where she is trying to hide it on her person and then ultimately hides it in the jungle – is the kind of moment that makes all of us on the production side smile with glee and jump for joy. Those real moments are fantastic.

But even better than the Sandra moment was Rupert deciding to put a rock in his pocket and pretend it’s an idol. And it worked. If not for this brilliant decision and subtle Emmy worthy performance, Rupert was a shoo-in to be voted out. This gave him life and a chance to stay in the game. Sometimes that is all you need. A chance.

Rupert’s acting was a performance that nobody could appreciate more than Russell. Ironic, given that Russell is the one that fell for it the hardest. I’m telling you the man is exhausted. But it was fun to see Russell fail, right? It’s always fun to see the guy on top… drop. It reminded me how many times Russell has been right in the past. Not this time. He is slowly crumbling and if he doesn’t get it together quickly and wake up, Russell will not make it to the end.

FIRST TRIBAL COUNCIL
Colby was on Candice again at Tribal Council. I really don’t get it. His lecture at tribal council was an admonishment. Like a parent scolding their child for misbehaving. It could be the wear and tear alone or it could be that Colby isn’t used to losing and is having a difficult time accepting it. Either way it seemed misplaced. Candice is not even top ten of the dirtiest players in this game. If she were, she’d probably still be in the game.

THE AFTERMATH OF TRIBAL
Oh-oh. Russell is not happy.

Russell: “I’m not fully in control of this game right now. But you know what, I’m gonna take control of this game so fast they’re not gonna know what hit ‘em.”

Russell …just woke up.

SECOND IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
I loved this challenge. It’s exciting, it’s big and anybody can win. Parvati continues to impress me. I don’t know that Parvati and I would ever be great friends and I’m pretty sure she’d be a tough woman to date, but if I’m in a fox hole, with the enemy approaching, I’d be very confident in our chances if she was the one who had my back. The girl plays to win… at everything she does.

Remember how I said Russell woke up. Well, he is wide-awake now. With immunity around his neck, he can now attempt to get back in control of this game.

Russell’s attempt to break up his own alliance is a huge move. Big moves can cost you the game. Big moves can also get you to the final. They’re risky, that’s why they are big moves. Russell wants to win and he’s afraid that he may get left behind. This is what you call “going for broke.” It will either work or it won’t, but there will not be any middle ground.

I appreciate the move. Whether it works or not, Russell’s game play continues to be one of the big reasons this season is so good. But he’s going up against Parvati and Parvati as stated earlier, does not back down, from anybody.

THE LOVERS SPAT
Russell and Parvati’s argument in the jungle was their first lovers spat. Go watch it again. They are behaving like a couple and they are arguing. Even their language is different. It’s the language of a couple. I know a lot of you are laughing at my ridiculousness, but I’m serious. I know they’re not a real couple per se, but their bond has gotten to a point where the language reflects something different from mere Survivor play.

WHAT A LOAD OF HYPOCRISY
Russell’s decision to bring in Colby and Rupert is a perfect example of the hypocrisy in this game. Russell who moments earlier had sarcastically called Rupert, “the second coming of Christ” offered to align with him so they could take out Danielle. First he approached Colby, who had no issue aligning with Russell. Then he approached Rupert, the man who despised Russell so much he had called him a “disgusting terrible human being.” They bumped fists like brothers, without so much as a word and just like that… they’re allies.

That’s Survivor. Right there. Leave your morality at home. Save your speeches for the shower. Here’s the thing though. Russell’s move doesn’t surprise me at all. He has always said, “I’m a villain who is playing a game.” Rupert on the other hand has made his name and a decent living off being the morally superior one. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t stand on a pedestal and proclaim yourself the most moral of all only to hop off the pedestal the minute a better situation presents itself. Changing sides and changing your mind is fine – that’s basic Survivor. But you can’t have it both ways.

Let me be really clear about something. I do not root for Russell. I do not root against Rupert. I do not root for or against anybody. I merely observe and comment. Russell makes no bones about how he plays. Neither for that matter does Parvati or Sandra. They play hard and they know it could cost them in the game. What is annoying me (now I’m the one losing my mind!) is the holier than thou crap spewing out of people’s mouths. Rupert just proved the point better than any rant I could ever make. He’d team up with Russell right now if he thought it would get him to the end. To repeat, there is nothing wrong with changing strategies, but the lectures about right v wrong have grown tired.

Okay, thank you. I feel better now. I think I need to go stand in a good rain storm. Anybody wanna join me?

2nd TRIBAL COUNCIL
Wow. I have to gather energy to continue because what happened at this tribal council was damn near historic. A breakdown. The wear and tear that I’ve been talking about this entire blog showed itself again. Danielle has played so hard. She has been so focused. She has given tremendous effort. But she lost it tonight. While Parvati remained calm, Danielle panicked and it cost her. She lost focus. She took Russell’s bait and he got inside her head. If only Danielle could have hit pause on the Tivo she could have gotten it back together. But Survivor doesn’t have a pause button. It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. I would never criticize somebody for being tired. It’s a result of playing a very difficult game. It’s just the way it goes. There was a showdown. Russell won. Danielle lost.

She played a heckuva game but she came up short. See ya on the jury Danielle.

SOMETHING FUN

Not everybody agrees that JT's move was the dumbest in history. Tyson's voting himself out this season is also in contention for that honor, and some other moves from the past like Erik and James.

Candice and Danielle both had exit interviews with RNO (Reality News Online). I didn't see too much spoiler info in Candice's interview so I didn't cut and paste any of it.....but she did say she put her wedding off to be on this Survivor Season, and that they were married last Saturday. I highlighted interesting info in red:
************************

Cut and Pasted from Danielle's exit interview (both girls sitting there together at the interview).

RNO: What would you have done if Amanda refused to give you back the clue on the reward challenge last week?

Danielle: (Laughs) Ripped it out of her hands. I would have made her let me read it at least. I knew I was going to get it back. The thing was, she grabbed it from underneath me – it was actually behind me – she reached behind me and grabbed it, it wasn’t on the floor. I felt like it was on me, I found it, she should at least let me read it. Colby was making her feel like she should give it back.

[They didn’t show it, but] I made an agreement with her that we would all read it together. When she gave it back to me, I was like, “Absolutely not, you’re an idiot! You’re psycho!” I get why she did it but I would never have done that. It’s not in my character to get that vicious. The look in her eye, I was like, “Oh my God.” That was like the turning point in the game when I was like, this is getting scary and people are getting crazy.

Candice notes: When we were at one of our rewards, I got a clue and put the clue in my bag and Amanda got up and got it out of my bag. I was so mad!

RNO: With that, I’m being told we’re out of time. So is there anything else you’d like to tell us about your time on Survivor?

Danielle: My next move was basically to get Russell off. Parvati and I had a conversation and I said we have to get rid of Russell. Had I not gone, Russell would have been the next to go. Me, Sandra, and Parvati had an agreement to get him voted off the next day. Had I just bit my lip, things would have been a lot different.

RNO: Thanks again, Danielle!

Picked this up at TDT. Since it is not spoiled by Blackwhale who has been a bit shaky on Challenge Winner Predictions, I think this probably holds merit.
***************************

So who wins? According to LKMOSCAR, "Jerri, Parvati, and Sandra go... on the family reward." SurvivorsUnite later expanded on this, saying, "Jerri [wins] the F6 family reward and take[s] Parvati and Sandra with her on the reward."

Like or dislike, at least Parvati and Sandra are smart players.....Russell....NOT. I would love to see it down to two women at the end; can he stand it? Being outsmarted by two women?

I think Jeff was spot on in his blog when he said Russell's back to back seasons has left him beyond exhausted. His filters are off and he's slipping. Better him than Sandra, heh heh.

Now that Danielle is gone, she would probably ally strongly with Sandra. She doesn't trust Russell, rightly so.

I have to say that I've only been following this season on TVCH because I wasn't that interested and only watched periodically. However, last night, I watched the show and I'm now hooked.

I actually would love Jeri to win. I think she has played a great game. Stayed in the shadows for most of the drama and made a bold move when it mattered. I hope she is the reason Colby loses. I never cared for his smug attitude towards her.

I am thrilled she wins this challenge

Blackwhale, the spoiler, brought us this bit about Jerri and Colby. Blackwhale has been wrong about two of the challenge winners, so I don't know how much validity this information has, but here it is:
*******************************
blackwhale
(03/28/10 06:24 PM)
Jerri and Colby have the opportunity over the week and a half they are together to bring some closure to their complex relationship. I think part of it is that Colby spent 24 days with the disfunctional group of heroes and comes to realize that Jerri is not the bad person he used to think she was. The game has evolved so much since season 2 and the people who are cast have also evolved, and I think they bond while seeing everyone else as circus freaks to some extent. There is definitely time for them to talk about their history and friendship and really heal some old wounds. I wouldn't say they really work together or that Jerri actively advocates for him, but she does jump at opportunities to take out other people first. Jerri feels bad when day 37 comes around and she has to take him out. We will finally see them come full circle from the days on Ogakor beach where they are laying in the river talking about their preference for cake or ice cream, or for oatmeal raisin vs. chocolate chip cookies. This storyline will be a definite shoutout to the old school fans.

Thanks again to Survivor Fever, we have more transcript and pics:

Transcript:

Announcer: Only two Survivor episodes to go.

Announcer: Russell believes the women are his allies...

Parvati: He thinks that he is in control

Announcer: ...but his world...

Sandra: I hate Russell.

Announcer: ...is about to crumble.

Rupert [talking to Russell]: The girls are talking about getting rid of you.

Announcer: Can an all male alliance save him?

Russell: Final three.

Rupert: Final three.

Announcer: Now, everyone's scrambling

Jerri [camera confessional]: I want to kill Rupert.

Russell [camera confessional]: Parvati's going home.

Parvati [camera confessional]: Russell's gonna get burned.

Announcer: ...to get to the finals.

Russell: Are you with me?

Sandra: I'm against you.

Announcer: New Survivor, Thursday.

Jerri: This game is turning into Crazy Town.

Announcer: And the two hour season final, Sunday
*****************************************

And here's pics from the Immunity Challenge:

3
4

As seen in a previous season, each played has two poles placed on the top of each hand, held in place by pressing them up again boards overhead. Ease up the pressure and the poles comes down...and if even one comes down, you are out.

Favored to win is Parvati because it was spoiled that she goes on an immunity run. There isn't much time left, so if that is true, she needs to get started soon!

I voted for Eric as 'dumbest move'. Colby's was generosity, James's was ego, JT's was strategy and could have been brilliant if his assumptions had been right but poor ole Eric just got bamboozeled...lol Of course so did Tyson, he got totally bamboozeled by Russell but hey, many people have so far in survivor. Parvarti is the first to truly challenge Russell and that is making this a truly interesting final.

I gave 8 votes to Tyson, 1 to JT and 1 to Colby = 10 votes. To me, Tyson's was the dumbest because it was a move he didn't have to make and it screwed everyone else over in the process.
