See, everytime I ignore my updates for a while the show gets better.
Okay, here's what's happened lately. First, Christine beat Semhar in the challenge on Redemption Island. We knew that would happen, Christine is a bulldog. As the episode continues, the gay ex-cop from New York makes a feeble attempt to convince everyone that he's found the immunity idol, but nobody falls for it and because of his lousy showing in the immunity challenge... well, bye bye papa bear.
Another unique event occurs when Brandon Hantz, who has been adamant about not showing his tribe that he's the nasty Russell Hantz's nephew, whips off his shirt and shows everyone his "Hantz" tattoos and blurts out that his uncle is Russell. However, he exhorts his tribe to believe that he's actually a wonderful guy with deep faith, honor, and integrity. I'm surprised that they didn't cut away to show the whole tribe laughing at that. Little Brandon has issues. What kills me is every time he's one-on-one with the camera, his own story makes him cry. Weinie.
Okay, moving on to next week, papa bear gets wiped at Redemption Island by Christine the bulldog, and after a lot of apologizing and more tears from Brandon, the usual nerdy desparation from Cochrane, the Upolo tribe loses the immunity challenge and votes Stacey off.
So finally to tonight's episode... yes it's getting better... the producers finally let everyone have their bathing suits!! Finally no more underwear scenes (LOL).
First, Christine (Bulldog) defeats Stacey on Redemption. Second, Ozzy makes a critical strategy error when he spends a lot of time in his hammock and in bed. And most of the time it's with Elyse. Survivor usually doesn't like couples and Ozzy should know this. So when Savaii loses the grossest immunity challenge ever (everyone biting chunks of a roast pig and spitting the pieces in a pan) Jim, Dawn and Cochrane cook up a little 4 on 3 move and vote Ozzy's little love-match Elyse (see picture) off to Redemption Island. Poor Ozzy, blindsided like that.
Soooo, next week will Christine defeat Elyse on Redemption Island? Bet on it. And will Ozzy separate himself from his tribe and mope a lot to show he misses his lost love? Bet on it! And will things continue to go wonderfully for Coach? Um, don't bet on it.
