Survivor-Fans Vs Faves-Goodbye Yau-man

This reward challenge promised a Big Battle. For the reward, three things out of the comfort catalog. Are there goose down pillows and a feather mattress in that catalog, because that would be the things I would fight for. With the battle lines drawn, it was like sandbag touchdown, get five bags across the goal and win. Easy and simple and nothing like getting down and dirty. I was surprised there wasn't any ripped clothing and once again Eliza takes a good beating. There were several moments when I was wondering where were James and Oz? It looked like the fans were going to win, but then faves came through once James got back in the scramble when he saw Amanda being pounced on. Go James, forever the gentleman.

It was off to exile island for Kathy again and this time Ami. Were they holding hands, hummm.....With the approaching rain storm, neither one could muster enough energy to look for the hidden immunity idol. The faves won their tarp just in time for the torrential rainstorm and slept dry and cozy. That could not be said for the fans camp, it looked so totally miserable. If I were there, I would be kicking myself, why did I leave my nice warm bed at home?! How badly do you need a million dollars?

For the immunity challenge, it should have been in the bag for the faves. Hold a sack of coconuts, how hard is that especially for our bo-hunk James. Doesn't he have Herculean strength? I thought Ozzy should have been holding with James and not Jonathan. Anyway, the faves lose it to the fans. Aw come on guys, weaklings! You're such a disappointment! I only wish I could like someone on the fans side and I'd be done with you especially what you did to my fave Yau-man.

I'm so mad I could spit nails! Why would anyone want to vote out our sweet Yau-man. Yau-man would not hurt a fly, let alone back stab one of his own. If anything, he's the brain and the alliance is the body, how are they going to function without the brain? It is as James said, first Cirie was the swing vote and now she's running the show. When Parvati, James, Oz and Amanda wooed her and brain washed her into coming to their side she completely took over. She was so steadfast in her wanting Yau-man gone, even when the others protested. I'm thinking Cirie wanted to switch sides because she had it in for Yau-man. What did he ever do to you, eat too much of your food? And of course she was like the Pied Piper and led them down her path. Wake up guys, jeez, have none of you have a brain cell between the four of you? If I were there, I would have suggested that both sides gang up on her and vote her out. That would have been a terrific twist. But noooo! I loved it at Tribal Counsel when Jonathan spoke his mind about Cirie call her out on the carpet. Jonathan was never one to keep it on the down low, at least you know where he's coming from. I think I'm beginning to like him, who knew? Either way, next episode, I'm looking towards the fans, I need some new blood to root for. And to the faves, hope you lose it all! Gee, I'm not bitter-not!-Single D

Good for Mikey. He figured out that Joel is the real muscle head behind the tribe. Mikey chews out Joel about the switch in the vote and Joel pretty much ignores him. Then Joel says he can't wait for the baseball bat to come and hit him up side the head. I can't wait for that baseball bat to crash on Joel's big head! I like Mikey, maybe just because Joel doesn't and I can't stand Joel! He needs to go back to the fire house and swing an axe on a burning building to get rid of some of that anger and frustration. OK, I'm done!

At the faves camp, it's alliance central with everyone still scrambling on who's with who, or is that who's on first? The couple's alliance tries to get Eliza to come over with them. Are they nuts? The last thing you want to do is give Eliza ammunition! Then there is Cirie who seems to think everyone should be catering to her since she is not really in an alliance and would turn out to be a swing vote. As she said, "I don't see anybody doing my laundry". You won't either honey.

The reward challenge came complete with war paint. The fans obviously don't believe in less is more. Several fans were made up to look like skulls, another looked like a Giesha and everyone else just painted their entire face. The faves looked a little more fashionable with the usual stripes. The challenge was pretty physical which brought out "James the Annihilator" when Amanda gets body slammed by Erik. Erik never had a chance after that. The game went back and forth but Jonathan nabbed the last bag for the win. Where was Cirie? Then it was time to send some lucky players off to exile island. Ami & Kathy go skipping off to exile island hand in hand. Realty star struck Kathy must be in heaven to be spending time with her "faves" alone. One other thing, Jeff, I think you are the hottest thing since sliced bread, but please lose those checkered bermuda shorts! Thank you.

After returning to camp, Amanda & Parvati strike a deal with Cirie to take her to the final three if they, in turn, vote out Yau-Man if the time comes. I still can't figure out why Cirie has such a hate on for Yau-Man. What did he do to her? Maybe she see's that if he sticks around, he will win the million. Who knows, but that just sealed her fate with me. Out with Cirie!

The storm that night was brutal. The faves stayed dry with their newly won tarp and the fans were wet, cold and worried about spiders and rats. This isn't some KOA campground kids, deal! I know the picture has nothing to do with this but I just couldn't resist!

The immunity challenge was to hold a basket while the other team tossed coconuts into it. Sounds simple right? Apparently the faves thought so because they put mostly weak players to hold the basket. They had Parvati, Cirie, Jonathan & James holding the basket while Ami, Ozzy & Amanda did the tossing. Seems like they should have turned that around, with the exception of James. Jonathan needed to hold on to the basket and keep his eyes off of Alexis. The faves lose the challenge and return to camp for more deliberations.

The faves are certainly letting Cirie run the show. Jonathan, Ozzy & James see this and try to talk Cirie into voting other than Yau-Man. Cirie will not change her mind. My question is, why keep her around? What is she doing for the tribe? Zilch, zero, nada, bubcus!! Let's send her and Joel home together! OK, I'm done.

In the end Cirie gets her way, cry baby, and Yau-Man is sent packing. I can only hope this tribe comes to their senses and gets rid of Cirie the next time. Double D
