Survivor 20**HvV**No SPOILER THREAD**

I am so glad this season isn't The Russell Show again.

Just wait...

 

[Bluestars]

Just wait...

No.................... I am really enjoying this season and I hope it stays like this. It's hilarious that Russell still thinks he is king when he hasn't done anything. What an ego. That team would be completely different without Rob, not Russell.

I'm surprised Ozzie isn't in this season as a villain since he perfected the art of making a fake immunity idol. Probably my favorite scene in Fans vs Favorites.

Ozzie a VILLIAN? No way! He would have been a hero! But I do wonder where he is!

 

[schnerk]

Another good episode tonight. I am glad the Villians are winning. The Heros are playing dirtier so far, but of course, they are loosing. I can't wait until next week!

Ozzie a VILLIAN? No way! He would have been a hero! But I do wonder where he is!

And also, remember Terry from the Panama season? I believe it was the first season when Exile Island was used. Terry won so many individual immunity challenges, and was the retired military pilot. He was one of my favorite all-time contestants. Should be in this season too. Maybe they'll do a 2nd heros vs villains with contestants left out this time such as Terry, Ozzie, and Tina from season 2. Too many good players in this game.

Wow! I just watched the episode online.I'm so glad Rob is fine, he looked exausted and I don't think he was acting, please. He is running his tribe because he is smart and Russ can't stand it "Im the king" whatever! He had to go and kill the poor chicken to get attention, typical Russ.

James needs to take a chill pill and get his head in the game, blaming everything on Stephanie and arguing like that in TC was wrong, he has a target on his back.

No hiding immunity idols yet?

Cannot wait for next week....

 

[PixieDust32]

Yay Villians! What an exciting episode!

The Heroes need to get past their name. They are going to have to get a little mean. JT had it right when he said that he should have followed Rob's lead and told everyone to just shut up and listen.

Cirie may just be leading the majority of her tribe incognito. James is doing her dirty work for her without knowing it. She got her wish to get rid of Stephanie.

Stephanie is Kryptonite!!!!!!

And James better watch out. Tom is out to get him now.

Feels funny not to see Russell up to his old tricks. Wonder if they are not going to have the individual immunity idols this time around.

Next week looks to be intense! Will James get kicked out of the game for unnecessary roughness?

Haha Russ can't stand not be the one in control

I hope James doesn't get kicked out of the game because that means he would be next if the lose.

 

[Kimberle]

I don't know why the keep Cherie. She has always been terrible at all challanges. You don't expect her to win physically, but she's terrible at the puzzles. She should have been the 1st out. I hope this tribe can get it together at challanges, or they'll be picked off one by one.

I like seasons when both tribes win. I hate it when 1 team is picked off 'cause they can't get it together.

I'm glad Russ has been "pushed back". GGGooooooo RRRRooobbbbb!!!

 

[happygirl]

Isn't funny how usually everyone loves to hate Rob. This season it seems like everyone is cheering for him.

I also thought it was great that Tom and Colby stood up for Stephaine whne James was going off on her

 

[Metro West]

What was evident to me last night was....the Heroes tribe is going to implode if it loses next week's immunity challenge. The first show everyone liked each other and helped out w/o drama or argument. Then...James went on this tirade about Stephenie and got her voted out and next week it looks like he's going to take out his frustration on his opponent on the challenge...based on the preview last night.

If the Heroes lose next week...it's over for them.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Rob has a degree in psychology, don't put nothing past him. He's a smart cookie and really knows how to get people on his side.

The Heroes better take some lessons...

if we're talking about rob's medical scare...

For a moment, it did seem contrived and had medical team not confirmed it--I would swear he was faking it.


Don't know what is going on with the heroes--but if they lose next week....what will James' excuse be then. That he isn't Superman?

 

[puffkin]

Does anyone else find it odd that the group of villians kept saying they don't know what they would do if Rob was gone? Amazing! I could understand if he was on a tribe that never played before....but these are All Stars!!! I don't know how he does it.....glad he is ok though. He has always been one of my favorites!

The egos on the Heroes tribe are unbelievable! I do think though that James was right, although he really did come off as a bully. Stephenie was the right move. She has proven time and time again to be a cancer to her tribes.

Personally I think Amanda and Cirie are running the show and nobody knows it. There was a clip last week where they said we can't be caught talking at all. I think Cirie is playing Candace hard and Amanda is working the guys. Can't wait for next week!

I think it is b/c the villains tribe is lazy--and at least from a filming perspective--Rob has been key in challenges.

Also from a show perspective--it seems Heroes has it together UNTIL that stinkin' challenge. Probably getting along to well at camp as someone suggested and noone stepping up to lead.

I am also pleased that Boston Rob is ok and still in the game. He always gives good camera interviews. I agree with the other posters that Rob is the best of the villains; as to why it seems that everyone is now cheering for him, I think part of it is simply his fun statement of bewilderment on the first show: “I’m a villain?”

Rob obviously did not faint and fall, since he had his shoes off and his head was laying on a shirt or something. Looks more like he felt himself become dizzy and simply lay down for a bit, and then became unresponsive. Strange. When his hands were shaking while trying to drink the bottle of water I wondered for a moment if he were having a low-blood sugar episode.

My wife and I both agreed last night that Coach and Jeri make a good couple together. I can’t really explain why, they just ‘looked’ right together and seem to have chemistry between them.

I was sad to see Stephanie go. I was disappointed to see James act like some nutcase and I was very sad to see most of the others go along with his vote. Kudos to Tom and Colby for standing up to James during Tribal council in defending Stephanie.

I was hoping that Cherie would vote for Amanda (actually, I was hoping that they would vote to get rid of James before he becomes even more of a problem). However, I imagine that Cherie (who is a great player) figured better to get rid of a strong competitor like Stephanie now and keep James for another tribal (i.e., she knows that if James keeps mouthing off he will lose support). As she said “Anyone but me”.

 

[BuzznBelle'smom]

Cirie seems really easy to get along with--I think that's why nobody seems to think of voting her out. It's worked pretty well for her on past seasons.

I was surprised (and not in a good way) at James. I just remember him being the "silent giant" on previous seasons.

Yup...Cerie is a master at that strategy. She just sits back and lets the others implode and quietly directs attention elsewhere. It always amazes me that players don't recognize that strategy or if they do recognize it they don't see the threat. I think that is how Sandra her season too, so it is a legitimate strategy.

 

[paintnolish]

In my totally non-professional opinion, Rob didn't seem to be faking it. I also noticed that he must have laid down and then passed out. He was shaky and had drool/vomit down the side of his face. He also cried, which is difficult even for profesional actors! I like him a lot and did in his original season, too. The whole Heroes fight sure looked bad! I think they get along well at camp, but nobody steps up during challenges. Or, if they do step up, they are not forcefull enough. Also, while I loved Rupert in his original season, he's sort of bugging me now!

 

[puffkin]

Jeff said in his EW blog that Rob had the Samoan Flu which apparently was wiping out a lot of the production crew as well. He said one of the main symptoms is a pounding headache. I am sure the conditions Rob is living in only made the flu symptoms worse. I absolutely don't think he was faking it at all and Probst didn't either.

 

[asta]

I can't imagine how the other tribe members don't see through Cirie. I think she keeps an undercurrent of unrest going and she never contributes in a challenge. I understand why she does it. By deflecting attention away from her terrible performance, she gets the others to think about voting someone else off instead of noticing her. I really think she belongs on the villian tribe.

 

[goofy's friends]

"Cry-babyitis" Rob is hillarious and he's able to laugh at himself. No WAY he was faking that. I think we'll start to see him be more of his true self after this episode--no more mr. nice-guy! He's always been one of my favorite players.

Russell thinks he's "all-that" now that he caught a chicken. I thought it was interesting how he caught one all by himself and the heroes caught many by working together.

What is up with James?!?!?My goodness, he's losing it! He was right that no one was listening, but to go on a tirade like that only makes him look bad. Unfortunately, they can't get rid of him right now--they need his strength.

I agree that Cerie and amanda are quietly running things behind the scenes. I caught those comments about not being seen talking. I think even Cerie's comments at tribal were to throw everyone off of their alliance.
