I'm Not
A Good Villain
April 1
Last time, both tribes went
to Tribal, and while it was a medical necessity to get rid of James, the
villains' Achilles heel was exposed: a rift between old-school Boston
Rob and new school Russell. Boston Rob made it clear that if you weren't
with him, you were against him... and Tyson was definitely against
everyone, leading to his eventual ouster when Russell used the immunity
idol to save Parvati. Thirteen remain.
DAY 16: "For the first time, I
was shocked."
Rob senses that something
doesn't feel right after last night's Tribal. He thinks taht it's weird
that three people have all the power while five others are runing
scared, figuring that Russell's camp needs to be knocked out. Courtney
meanwhile notices that Parvati has no problem flirting with "anything
that walks".... Yep.
Or it could be that the joke
is on Rob.
Later that day...
Jerri reports to Russell and
Parvati about what is going on with Rob. Danielle says that if you have
a tight alliance, you can get all the way to the end. Russell, on the
other hand, is patting himself on the back for bringing Parvati and
Jerri, two women that, by the very definition of "woman", hate each
other, together for HIS benefit.
Parvati, on the other hand,
thinks that Jerri is "noncommittal". She and Coach don't know where to
go, but maybe she'll take a chance with Russell.
Over on the Heroes beach...
everything sucks. Was voting James out the right decision? Right or
wrong, strength is at a premium... and so are second chances so far as
Colby is concerned.
R-CHALLENGE: Basketbrawl (for a
picnic, Courtney, Sandra, and Parvati sit out)
Swim out, get a ball, pass
it to a tribesman who'll shoot for goal. The other tribe will try and
stop you any way they can. First tribe to three wins.
Round 1: MEN. Colby scores.
(Heroes lead, 1-0)
Round 2: TWO WOMEN/MEN. Candice scores (Heroes lead, 2-0)
Round 3: MEN. Colby scores. (HEROES SWEEP, 3-0)
The Heroes set out for their
Reward, something long overdue. But Candice spots something.. a note
that said that there was another Immunity Idol hidden at the beach. You
want to ignore the clue... You can't! All five players agree that if
they find it, they find it as a tribe.
Back at the Villains Camp,
Russell tries to sway Coach and Jerri. "You and Jerri, I want to take to
the top 3." Coach picks up on the "pure line of gold", and Jerri's
buying it. Coach is trustworthy, says Jerri. They're honor-bound, but
the waters are so muddy that Coach doesn't think he has a choice. On the
other hand, Rob is not trustworthy at all. Jerri thinks that Coach is
naive, saying that Russell is in it to win it... and so is she. And in
the grand scheme of things, Coach is too naive.
Day 18...
I-CHALLENGE: A Tangled Web (Jerri,
Danielle, and Russell sit out)
Three members will relay up
a platform and onto a net, then climb up a web to retrieve puzzle
pieces. First tribe to put together their puzzle wins.
The Villains start on a
slight lead that gets wider. Rupert makes up some time on the second
pass. Candice, even more so. The Heroes take the lead. They start on the
puzzle first... and don't look back. HEROES WIN!
Rob, Sandra, and Courtney...
all pathetic. Russell tells Rob that they need to "weed out the weak",
telling Sandra and Courtney point blank that one of them is going. Rob
wants to keep his alliance strong. "I'm after him," Russell says. "And
he's after me. And may the best man win."
Coach's plan... either
blindside Parvati or get rid of Courtney and regroup the alliance. Is
Parvati more of a threat than Russell, though? Coach wants Rob to be
standing with him on the last day. Rob is basically putting Coach's
reputation and loyalty on the line.
Russell's group want to
blindside Rob. I wish I could make it any more drama filled, but There
you go. Oh, but Coach wants Courtney out. So it's ability versus trust.
And we feel that the merge is coming. And Coach is feeling like a heel,
wanting to be true to Boston Rob, but knowing all too well what's
coming.
Rob is at Jerri's mercy,
with no leg to stand on. He's got no other choice but to trust Jerri's
judgment. Oh, Rob.
The sun's going down... it's
getting to be that time.
NIGHT 18: Tribal
Sandra thinks that
everyone's all over the board. Coach thought that Tyson could've worked
the cap, admitting that Jerri and he were floating. Everyone disagrees,
with Russell says that getting rid of Tyson solidified the group.
Russell could've blindsided anyone, but he made the best decision he
could at the point. Everyone's so damn paranoid about alliances. Some
people are thinking in terms of alliances instead of team. Russell uses
Rob's own words against him. "I don't think you have the GUTS to do what
I did. If you're gunning for me, you're not going to get what you want."
Coach sees in Russell and Rob a Mexican standoff, but he begs (to deaf
ears) to throw it aside for the tribe. Rob thinks that this vote will
bring the tribe together.
Rob: RUSSELL - "Game over.
It's either you or me."
Jerri: (Hidden) - "In hopes that this will be right for me at the end."
The rest of the vote...
Coach: COURTNEY
Russell: ROB
Courtney: RUSSELL
Danielle: ROB
Sandra: RUSSELL
Parvati: ROB
And the final vote... from
Jerri.... By a count of 4-3-1.... ROB, THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN.
