Survivor-Oh My Oz, Blindsided!

There is an emerging Jungle King and his name is Jason. Jason is feeling pretty good about beating Ozzy at the immunity challenge, so much so that he compares himself to Oz and God. The reward challenge is a swim and memorize challenge and of course Jason's Deity like power is still in play as he is chosen as one of the team captains. His team is made up of Ozzy, Eric, and Amanda and the other team is Natalie, James, Parvati, and Alexis. School yard pick leaves poor Cirie the last one standing so it's off to exile island with her. It cracked me up how when it was James turn to swim and memorize the puzzle pieces, his contribution was one piece. Needless to say, Jason's team won the challenge so it was off to an island style luau with a local indigenous tribe. Jason is sitting in the co-pilot's seat as he demonstrates his move up the pecking order. The big feast is with "the lost tribe" as the commercials kept saying. About the only thing lost with this tribe were the women's top much to Erik's delight. Erik gets involve with the local custom of drinking beer and chewing betel nuts which proves to backfire on him later, when he throws up his feasting and drinking, but has no regrets. Meanwhile on exile island, it is raining buckets on Cirie, where's the nearest Hilton please! When Jason's team gets back to the others, Oz goes into great detail about the food. Hey Oz, don't you remember it's not cool to tell the other starving survivor's how great the feasting was! Smuck! The immunity challenge is how long can you keep your arm up to not drop the bucket of water above your head. Jeff brings out a bowl of candy which immediately Cirie and Erik give up. Hey Erik, didn't you have enough to eat on the island? Oh yeah you threw it all up. And who could blame Cirie for giving up, right now a bowl of slop would look good to her, but that's another show. Five hours pass and it's between Parvati and Jason. Everyone agrees with fingers crossed that they will not vote out Jason if he gives it to Parvati which he does, fool! At camp Cirie plots to get rid of Oz. James tells Oz that it doesn't feel good, so I'm wondering why Oz doesn't listen to him. James instincts is spot on as Oz tells Jeff that he doesn't feel threaten. It seems that everyone is in on voting out Oz, except Oz and his crew of three, Erik, Amanda and James, and much to Eliza's wide eyed amazement, Oz is the second member of the jury. Oz leaves pissed and probably feeling stupid. Just goes to show you that you can't feel too secure when holding that immunity idol, because it has failed to come into play yet. Come on people, wake up and play the idol!-Single D Jason says Ozzy isn't the only god-like competitor on the island. Did I hear a challenge?! For the reward challenge the tribe is split into groups of 4 and Cirie is the odd woman out, or darn! The dream team of Ozzy, Amanda, Erik and Jason pull off the puzzle and earn a reward of going to visit a local tribe where they are decorated with leis. One of the tribe members shows off by climbing a palm tree, he didn't have anything on Ozzy the Jungle King. Erik was like a big kid playing with the children, drinking beer and chewing beetle nuts. Beetle nuts?! Is that anything like rocky mountain oysters only a whole lot smaller? Never mind. Erik gets an eye full, make that both eyes, when some of the local women come out topless. He said that is more boobs than he has seen in years. Poor guy, I guess he isn't getting any. The local tribe gets entertainment from Erik as he tries to embrace their ways and doesn't do so good. I guess the beetle nuts didn't set so well since he got to taste them twice, if you get my drift. Meanwhile at Exile Island, Cirie is miserable in the thunderstorms. The losing team also endure the thunderstorms and James, the early riser doing all the work, catches flak when he wakes up everyone else. The immunity challenge is an endurance challenge with Jeff cutie making tempting offers to get the contestants to drop out. Cirie & Erik drop out for a lousy bowl of candy. I would be holding out for steak and potatoes! Alexis & James lose their concentration and lose out on a food reward. I guess that candy had hypnotic powers. Ozzy drops out for donuts. Amanda drops out because she has to pee, didn't you go before the challenge? That leaves Parvati and Jason. Jason bows to pier pressure to feed everyone and drops out after everyone vows not to vote him off. How many ways can you say STUPID?! Jason could get lucky as the shift goes to Ozzy. James should be a fortune cookie writer as he says, "just because someone wants a donut and you give them a donut, maybe all they want is a donut." Meaning, I assume, that Ozzy just wanted a donut and didn't just give up because he has the idol. At tribal, James was saved from being dumbest survivor for not playing the hidden immunity idol when Ozzy didn't play it knowing that everyone knows he has it. Say it with me kids, STUPID!! As Ozzy gets his torch snuffed, he gives the remaining tribe members a killer look and Eliza, on the jury, is about to have a coronary, the camera pans to James who has a smile on his face. The King of the Jungle has been dethroned. Double D
