Survivor Redemption Island-

Instead of calling this season Redemption Island, it should be called Mosquito Island. Kristina and Phillip are covered in a skin of mosquito bites. Yikes, can you get malaria from that? Just looks so nasty. Spending 40 days on an island has to wreck your skin. You'd come back with bites, brown sun spots and wrinkles. That's why I could never sign up for that. Plus the fact I need my pillow and soft bed and warm clothes. Love paradise, but it better be in a resort. Rob and Grant and Stephanie and Krista are sent to redemption island to watch the duel between Kristina and Matt. This time it's building a cube out of heavy blocks. Not fair since Matt will have the advantage of strenght to carry those things. On the other hand, I thought Kristina would have a chance at this since she's pretty smart and was ahead of Matt in setting up her blocks when he knocked his down to start over, but she couldn't pull it out, let alone move those heavy pieces. Stephanie takes the opportunity to tell Rob and Grant that her and Krista are up for grabs now that Russell is gone and they would be willing to join them once they merge. I'm sure Rob is hoping that would be the case since he could convince those two to do anything for him. I'm sure those two would be survivor groupies to Rob's celebrity.

The challenge is the blindfold challenge to collect puzzle bags with Rob as the caller and puzzle maker and Stephanie for the other team. While Rob dumps his puzzle pieces on the table a piece falls on the ground, but thankfully he sees it. Whew close! I knew this was going to be a shoe in for Rob because he can do two things great, solve puzzles and build things. Who knew he could also be crazy devious. When his tribe won reward, Grant and Rob notice a clue in the coffee, which Rob quickly takes, runs to where his hidden immunity idol is buried and switches the clues on Grant. As Rob says, the first clue was clueless, "under a bush, in a tree, on a branch", or in other words anywhere and everywhere.

I kinda felt sorry for the two Manson (Russell) followers, Krista and Stephanie since no surprise here, they are on the chopping block. Everyone is faulting Stephanie for not being better at puzzles, when it was Sarita who chose her to do it, so why isn't she on the chopping block?

Guess the tribe decided to keep Stephanie because she's the stronger of the two players, and I have to hand it to her, the girl's got gumption. Hillbilly Ralph can't spell for nothing as he writes Krista's name as Krasha. Maybe if Hillbilly wins he can go back to school.
