IS THERE A GRAVEDIGGERS UNION?


In the time since I told you guys about the show, we've had some interesting outings. Once the merge happened it was inevitable that the old Fei Long tribe, with my dear sweet Erik (Mr. Tvgrrrl), would just get picked off one after the other. Color me happy when things didn't really go that way. First Jean-Robert got kicked out, which was interesting because he had a Godfather moment with the Queen and told him that if he back stabbed him he'd do everything in his power to make sure he doesn't win a million dollars. Too bad the Queen didn't listen and voted him out anyway.


Then Frosti became friends with the anorexic and they had to get rid of him before he got jabbed in the eye with one of those dangerous sticks she calls bones.




That lead up into the last episode. After Frosti was voted out Jeff surprised everybody, including me, by telling them that they weren't going back to camp, that they'd be having a Reward Challenge right then. Phew, I was concerned they were about to vote someone else out, and that person was going to be MTVG. That would have been tragic.






Anyway, Token Asian wins and decides to take MTVG (good call) and Femmullet with her to the rewards, which is a night at the Shaolin Monk's place. That sounds more interesting than it actually was. That's a lie, it was very interesting. And who knew Femmullet had a hidden talent. Not only does she have the coolest haircut ever, but she is also a black belt in Karate. It's probably that dumb Karate that anybody can do. She is definitely not doing it with someone like that guy in Karate Kid. He would totally make her cut her hair. Anyway, it's a cool reward, and anything is better then sleeping out in the open. Of course, not much is better then sleeping with MTVG. Hey hey now, keep it clean.
Back at camp though the four people left, Anorexic, the Queen, Amanda and James realize that this is the final four. Amanda's actually not as happy about it as you'd think. James keeps saying that there's no reason it shouldn't be the four of them. But Amanda says that if she's ever going to shake up the game, now is the time to do it, when they still can. Uh-oh. I don't like the sound of this.


When the others get back the next day there's heavy rain and the other tribe members are sitting in a hole to keep dry. It's a nasty muddy hole, that the anorexic totally belongs in. She gets upset when TA comes over and starts telling them about their trip. Um, she was asked Skinny Bitch. Oh, I like that better.

Later MTVG sees and opportunity, knowing that James has the Immunity Idols, and suggests that James come over to their side, with him and TA. James doesn't like this idea at all. He wonders why he would go with the evil two, when he has a solid five on his side. Hind sight is 20-20. He does comment that MTVG must be dumb. Talk about being a grave digger. Har har.

On their way up to get the TYRA MAIL Amanda tells Skinny Bitch that she thinks they should blindside James at Tribal. I don't like where this is going. She says that he has both Idols so he's secured himself to be in the final three. SB decides that's a good idea, since she has no original thought in that chicken head brain of hers. Can you tell I don't like her?



Dear God

The whole tribe goes to the Immunity Challenge and it's another Chinese themed challenge, throwing throwing stars. It's sorta boring, so I'll just tell you, MTVG wins. I'm so proud of him. I could just kiss him. For real, I could.






Back at camp the choice is clear to James, they have to vote TA off since MTVG has Immunity. Amanda pulls the Queen asides and says that they should make a move on James. She makes a good point, saying that who wouldn't give him the million if it came down to it, since he deserves it. Sure, he deserves this because he's a good guy, but he hasn't played the game very well. He may have the two idols, but he didn't find them, either of them. The Queen likes the idea, although he knows the other team will be writing his name down, so if this doesn't work, and James plays the idol, then it's the Queen that'll go. He decides to play his luck.






And they're about to go to Tribal, you can tell James may think something's up. He tells us that he's bringing the idols to Tribal, just in case. He thinks he may hear someone say something during Jeff's banter and that'll get him to use the idol. Dear God I hope that happens.


Alas, it doesn't. Jeff comes over with the box and says that it's now or never to play the Idol. There are a few tense moments, with cuts between James and the Queen, us knowing that one of them will be voted out. It looks like James is going for the Idol, but, he doesn't. If my roommate had been at the house I would have been screaming at the TV. Since she wasn't I figured it'd be crazy of me to yell at the television with no one around to hear me.

I do feel a lot better with his departure, since in his download afterwards he realized his mistake and didn't hold any grudges. He went out with dignity, which, if he had to go, is the best way to go. So TA and MTVG have lasted another week, and it's down to the final five. Only three more episodes left and I can honestly say it's anybody's game. I'm thinking Amanda is the dark horse. The only thing standing in her way is the Queen. That bitch will do anything to win a million dollars.

I WAS IN MOURNING

I apologize for not posting for awhile, especially in regards to The Race and Survivor. I was in mourning and refused to do any work for a week. Okay, so that's not true, but go with me here. I'll be posting, hopefully today about the shows. I really need to get a man or something, I am way too invested in these shows.
