I'm pissed. I'm sure some of you how know me by now know why I'm pissed. It'll have to wait until the end of the post to find out why. I can't stand the Casaya members, with maybe the exception of Cirie. Read on.
So the night after Tribal Council is the worst. Not as much for Casaya because they didn't have to go, but the elements are causing some problems. It's raining and cold, as usual, and Courtney's been banished to the edge of the shelter. Poor thing tries to cuddle up to Shane who's cuddled up with it looks like Cirie, but damn if he wouldn't rather freeze then be anywhere near her. I want to feel sorry for her but I just can't, she's a piece of crap. I think it's Karma for standing in Bruce's Zen garden while he was making it. Yeah, it's a bitch ain't it. The next morning she complains about her treatment and how she had a miserable night.
On Exile Island Sally's having a good time. I mean as good of a time you can have on a deserted island with no food and rain. She's just happy being on the island saves her from certain elimination. Yeah, saves her but they had to vote out one of the good ones, Dan. She also searches in vain for the immunity idol which Terry found awhile ago.
The next morning when the tribes awaken, La Mina has tree mail letting them know that they have a special package awaiting them and to not open it just yet. When they get back to their beach they see a boat with a crate inside. A note tells them to go to the Casaya beach because it's merge time. The guys are excited to get around new people, not really knowing what bastards most of the Casaya people are.
When Casaya sees the guys coming they're all eating loads of rice. To further infuriate me they eat the rice down fast so they won't have to share with the new tribe members. Nice you douches, nice. They also spend a moment of solidarity where they pray and ask God to help them screw people over in the next few days. I have to give it to them though, they're nice when La Mina arrives. La Mina is blinded by their good hearts and think Casaya's welcoming them with open arms. I guess they sorta are since they feel they'll all be safe from elimination for at least four rounds. Here's hoping for individual immunities. Sally also returns.
When they open the crate they find paint and things to make their new team flag with. They also find food. Aras is feeling a little foolish wolfing down all of that rice earlier since now they have real food to eat and he's full. The teams don't waste any time building a new shelter with Terry taking the lead. I think a lot of the people are happy to have him there, mostly because he was nice and not a backstabbing bastards, at least not yet.
No, I don't see it Mr. Ed
Terry also doesn't waste any time trying to get the other members to turn on each other. He immediately singles out Bruce and tells him that he's guaranteed to make it to the final five if he starts voting with them. Aras and Shane see this and decide to keep Bruce on their team they'll have to use him and make him think he's their leader. It doesn't help La Mina either that while making the shelter Nick foolishly, but accidentally, hits Bruce in the mouth with the machete. Sounds worse then I think it is. It busts his lip and cracks his tooth but Mr. Miyagi's okay and goes back doing his Thai Chi later on. He also designs them a new flag, renaming the tribe "Gitanos" which means cats. Okay, wait, it doesn't mean that, it means Gypsies. That's nice. Terry tries to work on Shane and Cirie, hoping the "old people" bond still works. It doesn't. Cirie says that he's like a dictionary salesman and why would she want to buy a dictionary if she has the encyclopedias over here. Um, because an encyclopedia only tells you one letter of the alphabet and the dictionary helps you spell all words known in the English language. I mean I get what she's trying to say, but I think the "getting the milk for free" would be better analogy. Actually anything would have been better than that.
I know a quick way to get all of them down
Since the teams already ate, we don't get a Reward challenge, we get our first individual Immunity challenge. The only skill someone needs for this one is strength. There's a bar that they have to hang from and the person who hangs the longest gets immunity. They all get up and I'm thinking I wouldn't last two minutes. Sure enough, Cirie lasts just about that long. It looks like a struggle and at one point Courtney takes her hands off and is hanging by just her knees. Hey, Jeff never said that was an option. Pretty soon everyone falls off. I don't even know why Casaya even did this, it's not like they need it, apparently. Nick gives it the college try but falls off as well, leaving only Austin and Terry left. Austin's fairly sure he's going home, so what does he do? Throws it, letting go so he doesn't look too strong, and letting Terry, who has a major target on his back, win immunity.
At Tribal council that night there's no reason even talking about it. It's obviously going to be Sally, Nick or Austin. Since Sally's really no threat, and because of Austin's bright idea to throw the challenge, they vote Nick off. I'm thoroughly sad. The only interesting thing that happens is Austin admits, since he thinks he's going, that he threw the challenge to make everyone think he's weaker then he is. I wonder if this is gonna come bite him in the butt later.
