No pictures of MTVG this episode, so here's one from before. Ssiiggghh!Survivor is getting good, y'all. We finally got a merge and damnit if it wasn't an exciting tribal. My heart was pounding and my palms were sweating. It was good!
The show starts off with the anorexic's tribe coming back after voting off Sherea. Jean-Robert decided to talk to the anorexic about her feelings towards him and she tried to tell him that he was an ass, but her arguments were pretty bad. "You treat me bad." Boo freakin' hoo. Just shut up and eat something. Seriously, she should be foraging for some grubs or something. She's close to death. She called out the Queen and Amanda about sucking up to JR, which they sorta do. But they're playing the game you waif. She tells us in her download that the Queen and Amanda mistake her disliking them the least, as friendship. And the girl wonders why nobody likes her. Why is she still there? She sucks major shakaka at the challenges, her arguments for keeping people are purely selfish (which means she'll save her own butt when the time comes, what's left of it anyway) and she's just a complete jerk to everyone. Really. Why is she there? The Queen tells us later that that's just the way they're playing the game and that the anorexic should "Deal with it, bitch". OMG, I'm kinda starting to love the Queen.
Back at the other camp, James realizes he has to get that second (not so hidden) immunity idol from the entryway thingy. When the other people go off to the river, he works on getting the idol off, but takes the wrong one, without the writing on the back. He throws it on the ground and hurriedly picks off the other one. He laughs to us, with us, that he now has both of the idols, since he still has the other one the Queen and Amanda plucked off and gave to him before. I love this game.
Later at James' camp, they're all laying around and Blondie notices something's missing over the archway. Ya think? Glad you're not in a helicopter trying to spot a lost Boy Scout or something. She and MTVG find the (non) idol on the ground and Jamie immediately hides it, getting excited that they probably just found the other idol. Later that night, as the token Asian and James are out trying to get some food, Blondie goes through James bag. She finds the two idols, but doesn't unwrap James' clothes to actually look at them, so she's convinced that the idol she has is the real thing, not knowing that the real ones have writing on them. OMG, this is the best ever.
James eventually realizes the piece he discarded isn't on the ground anymore and figures Blondie and/or MTVG probably took it think that's the immunity idol. He laughs, and I laugh, about how wonderful this would be if they actually played it at tribal. Yeah James, we're with you on that, I would LOVE IT. Blondie's been getting on my nerves, especially since she went into James' bag and is hitting on Mr. Tvgrrrl.
The next day they all come together and Jeff tells them to drop their buffs. Everyone is actually happy to merge, especially Blondie who tells us that this is actually good for her since she has the (non) immunity idol and can play it since she'll probably be on the chopping block. One can only hope! Jeff then tells them that they'll have their typical merge feast, and he makes a point to remind them that the game never stops. Uh oh, I feel a questions challenge coming on.
They all make it to the feast and it's pretty cool. There are Chinese fireworks, dancers, food, rain, it looks like a lot of fun and a few of them do a few shots. I'm sorry, but drinking alcohol is the last thing I'd be worried about. Actually, because of the toilet situation, eating would be too, but I'd make myself. I'd probably also make sure the anorexic ate as much as she could. Seriously, the girl is close to death.
When they get back to camp they decide to rename their tribe something dumb. Black Mamba or something like that. Jeff then shows up at the camp and they seem less then enthusiastic about his arrival. I'd be going apeshite for a clean man right about then, but hey, that's just me. He tells them that it's time for their first individual immunity challenge and it'll take place right there. I was right, it's all about the feast they had the day before, and how much they can remember. I'm thinking JR has this nailed because he was the only one who told us before the feast that he knew what Jeff was doing by telling them the game is always on.
The game starts and JR gets out pretty early. Eventually it gets down to Blondie and Frosti and I'm hoping to the Lords of Kobol that it's Frosti because I seriously want Blondie to play that (non) idol at tribal. My wish comes true and Frosti wins immunity.
The rest of the show is people trying to figure out who should be voted out. Token Asian's old tribe figures out that a lot of people don't like JR, and their best bet would be to vote for him and hopefully some people, like the anorexic, will vote for him too. Frosti realizes he's probably the swing vote, since he has alliances is both tribes, and that this is going to be the most important vote yet. Token Asian realizes she's on the chopping block and tells Blondie that one of them is probably going, unless they can pull James and Frosti on their side. MTVG and Blondie approach Frosti and tell him that they found the (non) immunity idol. Frosti, of course having seen the real one, just plays along with it. I'm thanking the Lords of Kobol that Frosti doesn't tell them the truth. Now if it was MTVG who was on the chopping block I'd be sending my vibes out hard core that Frosti says something. But since it's not, buh-bye.
The Queen and JR talk about who's the best to vote out. The Queen says he thinks Blondie is the stealth leader of the few other tribe. But JR doesn't agree. He thinks the Token Asian is the biggest threat to him, since he likes her, and after a few days of being with her, he may not be able to vote her out, so getting rid of her now is a good idea. Um, that should be a BIG sign Queen. JR then gets all Godfather-like with the Queen and says that if he back stabs him or if anyone else decides to go against their alliance, that he'll hold the Queen responsible and if he makes it to the final two he'll do everything in his power to make everyone else vote against him to win. Damn. Calm down, son. The Queen just agrees to this. And this is when I'd think that maybe voting JR out now is a good idea. All he'd have to do is convince Frosti or one other person, maybe Femullet, to vote JR that night, so he'd be out quickly. I'm hoping he's smart, like I am. Blondie then finds the Queen and makes him a proposition. She says that if he keeps her in the game, then tomorrow, she'll tell him who has the two immunity idols. Since the Queen already knows this, he just nods and laughs about it later to us. Blondie thinks she's pretty damn smart, and as she pats herself on the back, I just laugh and laugh, because she's probably watching this back somewhere in Alabama or wherever the hell she's from regretting every dumb word coming out of her mouth. It's not clear when they go to tribal who they're going to vote out.
At tribal Jeff immediately asks JR about how he feels in the game. JR then talks about the anorexic, saying nobody really sees her as a threat, when she is. I think that's because when she turns sideways she disappears so people don't remember she's there. But can I say that this is an amazing observation and 100% TRUE. The anorexic doesn't like this much, and gets all whiny. Please someone slap her.
Everybody goes to vote and I'm holding my breath. When the hell is Jeff going to ask them to present the immunity idol? Right before the votes are read Blondie interrupts Jeff and you see James practically jumping out of his skin with laughter. Blondie tells Jeff that she'd like to present the (non) immunity idol. She takes it to Jeff, all proud of herself. Jeff looks at it and tells them that if someone has the immunity idol, then this would be the time to play it. DRAMATIC PAUSE. But this is NOT the immunity idol. He then tosses it into the fire. BAD ASS JEFF, BAD ASS. JR sighs a loud sigh of relief, because he knew what that meant.
Jeff tallys the votes, and it's Blondie was gets the most votes. I bet she feels really dumb. Haha. It's really funny though. I'm kinda sad for MTVG because that was his girl, but hopefully next week he'll form some alliances. Like with Frosti, Token Asian, and the anorexic. I still love James!
