Oh, My goodness! This is one time I like a spoiler...so I can watch Sandra at after the merge. This is going to be good.

This is the reason that I call it the "myth of Parvati" because she falls right in with the right people her every season she's been on. Through no real genius on her part do things just seem to happen for her....no real scheming or enegy dispensed and yet...even as we watch it go down on the show she gets alcolades and kudos for basically just being in the right place at the right time. And not to mention winning her entire season. But that's just me an alla that.

Yes, and the remarks she made to Courtney on the voting were a clear example of how she charms the women too....it isn't just the men who connect to her.

FINALLY! From Courtney's interview, a reason for Russell not voting for Coach when he made his grand exit: But Russell already had Jerri pulled in and tight to him. And his writing down my name instead of Coach's [at the prior Tribal Council] was sort of to iron-lock Jerri into his thinking. Because he was like, "Oh, I know, those evil girls voted off Coach, your boyfriend! But I went against it, I was against all of those mean girls!" And so she was like (Courtney assumes mocking voice) "Yay! They're mean! Russell, you're my hero! I love you Russell!"

I see Russell as someone who's studied the game. I see many of the others (Cirie and Sandra excluded) as having, for whatever reason, completely forgotten the game.

Super entertaining awesome episode! I LOVED it! I was lol at JT's stupidity and lol when Parv added "BFF" at the end of the letter! ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Glad Jeff explained the pen and paper. I noticed that Amanda said something like "yeah it's a big move" with a somewhat sarcastic tone at one point when JT was crowing about giving Russ the idol and another Hero tribe member agreed with him. I think Amanda feels Rupert would manage to get her voted out if she doesn't go along with him. I think Amanda is playing smart waiting for awhile to rock the boat.

Just read Jeff's blog. (at the end is a video of Russ saying he brought back the machete). Jeff talks at first about maybe JTs move being a good move. I do not agree. JT has no way of knowing what is going on at the other tribe. It wasn't a good move, it was a huge stupid gamble. Jeff explained JTs thinking about if there was an all girl alliance then after the merge Russ would have to go be on the Heroes alliance for safety. I don't agree that the huge gamble JT made was worth it though because 1. not only do the Heroes not know what is going on in the Villains tribe, 2.things can change after the merge. It was really stupid of Rupert to go along with JTs move. As far as Amanda, we already know she did not think it was a good move, even though she didn't say anything to the tribe. Candace did mention that at least JT wouldn't have the idol anymore. I don't recall seeing any footage of Colby saying anything about it. He has been low man since day one in that tribe, so, it is best for his personal play not to go against JT and Rupert. I don't recall if there was a confessional with Colby talking about giving the idol to the other tribe. I don't really pay lots of attention to Colby. I don't like him much, don't find him entertaining, find him a bit annoying actually. I forgot to post earlier how glad I am that Sandra is still there! I really like Sandra. I am glad she is on to Russell.

For the past couple of seasons I've thought the producers were creating things to push Russell further in the game, this makes me wonder if they had put the idea of an all woman's team in J.T's head, then yammered on about it, which made him so paranoid, that he felt compelled to "help" poor sad Russell. It's hard for me to believe J.T. is that dense, maybe he is, but it's also possible his paranoia was producer enhanced.

Being a mega Sandra fan, I spent most of the ep worried Sandra was leaving. I should have known better. That girl seems to be able take the heat off herself no matter what.

I LOVE JT - in his season and in this one - but apparently he has been hit on the head one too many times. What was he thinking? And what was his tribe thinking? And why, for goodness sakes, didn't Amanda voice her doubts LOUDLY?!? For the 24 hours that I would last on Survivor, EVERYONE would know where I stood!

But if Amanda had loudly voiced her opinion, wouldn't that have ADDED to the paranoia? The guys would have started yelling 'See, see, there's plans for an all girl alliance who will join up with Amanda after the merge. Parv & her were BFFs in their season!' Wouldn't that have put another target on her own back? Jeff's giving honor to Amanda & Parv as being the alltime longest survivors in history also served to remind everyone that they can be a dangerous pair. At least this does get the HII out of JT's hands, whom Amanda already sees as someone physically capable in challenges that she needs to get rid of.

Lol, Naja ~ I'm with you about Sandra. And then it looks like she explains the Russell factor to the others next week.

Think about it...who? ( I say who?) could keep Sandra from talking? Can't be done...but fun to watch them try to discredit her. Boring people equals boring season.....strong players equals what we have now.

I'm getting a kick out of Sandra and Parvati playing Russell, while he thinks he's in control. LOL.

Stormie, it is possible that JT's paranoia was producer induced, but it is also possible that when he saw Tyson go followed by Rob and then Coach, it just kept confirming in his mind that there must be an all girls alliance. Bisc...good point about Amanda, that if she had voiced her opinion it might have confirmed even more to JT re: the all girls alliance theory.

We also have to remember how they turned on JT when he had the idol. As Candice said when he gave it away......"At least JT doesn't have it now" It took a target off of his back.

That's true Happymom, it actually could have been a culmination of things that put these ideas in JT's head. To even care what was happening in the other tribe, though, was strange. Mentioning what he thought to his tribe and keeping them strong on the same page is one thing, but to actually help a member of the other tribe without question, he must have really hit the paranoia rock bottom. Even if there were an all women's alliance in the other tribe, so what, that had nothing to do with JT's tribe. And Amanda shouldn't have to keep her mouth shut, JT sure didn't. It's a wonder how he could speak, though, with his lips pressed firmly against Russell's ahem. I'm crossing my fingers for Sandra too, at least someone is not sitting on their thumbs. I'm not sure about Parvati, I think she just plays everyone, which happens, but I think she'll gravitate to whomever looks like they have power, so who knows what she's thinking.

Based on the commercial I saw tonight on the Country Music Awards, Sandra will be safe for a while since they are going to have the merge this week. I am happy they are finally doing the merge that totally changes the game up and Rusell starts out at square one again.

If JT asks for the idol back and Russell refuses... it could get VERY interesting very fast.

I have never understood the need to believe in conspiracies in reality shows. You put enough people with different personalities, all with big egos, together in a stressful situation; add stress through competition, with a big prize at the end; and you are going to get plenty of drama. They don't need conspricies, all they have to do is let things play out and they get the drama. Jeff essentially says this in his blog when he said that the producers couldn't believe what was going down with Jeff, they just knew it was gold, and kept praying he would not change his mind.

Rusell only has the advantage if he uses the Idol. His ego is such tht he would not use it. If parvati and Sandra can guarantee him that he is safe, they could walk him right into that tribal council fire.

Per the TVCH rules, as long as it is a commercial or footage that was approved by the network it is not considered a spoiler. Of course, the networks sometimes hint at things or even spoil certain things to increase viewer interest.

And the network has been known to lead us down the garden path and show us exactly the opposite of what really happens. I was shocked that JT actually gave Russell the idol because CBS hinted at it and showed so much of it that I was certain it was a tease that would never happen. So they faked me out again.
