Survivor Redemption Island: One Hot Shower Scene
Now that I have your attention we can discuss last night in detail. Our episode started with Ometepe returning from tribal council. Phillip was a little down as he knew he was nothing more than an outsider looking in. So naturally it was in his best interest to strip down to his fuchsia panties and snuggle up next to Boston Rob. Rob was concerned and made sure that Phillip had his undies on which led to the best line in last nights show as spoken by Phillip: “I have my underwear on, but that doesn’t stop me brother”. I have no idea what the hell that means, but if I were Rob I’d have taken my chances out in the rain with the crabs. Odds are that Rob would end up with crabs either way, but I digress. The next morning Phillip was in full fuchsia panty mode as he flaunted his saggy pants and his butt in the faces of Ashley & Natalie. Damn they are sexy. Ashley & Natalie, not the panties. Phillip went crab hunting. I mention that only so I can stick the idea of a former federal agent with crabs in your head.
It was now time to head over to Redemption Island. Ometepe sent Rob & Grant to watch while Zapatera sent Stephanie & Krista basically so they could get them out of their hair for a while and have a little love fest for the solid six. They are one happy group of six and because of that Stephanie was going to make clear to Ometepe that they were willing to defect once the merge occurred. Would either of them still be around at that point?
The challenge was simple for Kristina and Matt: pick up some very heavy puzzle pieces and put them together to form a cube. Matt decided that since Rob was there he would ask him (while he was working on his puzzle) why he voted him out. Rob was noncommittal and told him that it took more than one to vote him out. Matt took the early lead in the challenge, then he messed up allowing an opening for Kristina, but she was clueless and Matt picked up an easy victory. Matt has now won every challenge thrown at him on Redemption Island. Very impressive. If he does make it back in the game he told Rob & Grant that he’d like to go to the final three with them. I’m sure that is what Rob wants as well. (Insert sarcasm here)
But the best came from Stephanie. Stephanie gave out great info for a guy like Rob to use to his advantage. Stephanie told him that things were not all painted ponies and shamrocks back at her camp. She also made sure that Rob knew that she “looked good in yellow” to which I immediately realized that Stephanie is a darn cute little package and looks good in pretty much anything. Being the poker player that he is Rob did not show his hand and stated that he did not know if she was being truthful. Stephanie assured him that she was, but again there was no way for Rob to have that info verified.
Back at Ometepe Phillip was spending some time with our lovely trio. He referred to the ladies as crabs. (Again with the crabs?) Phillip made a play on Andrea, but I’m not too sure she was buying it. After all Phillip is nothing more that Boston Rob’s pawn right now and what power does he actually have in this tribe? This is when we were treated to the aforementioned shower scene which was spectacular. The shower scene was followed my Ashley & Natalie sharing some beach time working on their laziness skills. Again, any show that has two hot babes lying on a beach doing nothing is okay in my book. And it is my book after all. I’d like to say that while all this was going on there was something interesting going on over at Zapatera, but there wasn’t. Nothing except shrunken apple headed Julie still worrying about throwing that challenge two episodes ago to get rid of Russell. Hey Julie, it worked. Get over it. You still have the advantage and even if you lose all that happens is you dump one of Russell’s toadies so shut up.
At the immunity/reward challenge Jeff presented the tribes with a reward of fresh coffee and some yummy looking pastries to accompany them. The challenge was simples. Each team was to choose one person to be the caller/puzzle solver and that person would lead their blindfolded tribe mates through a maze to collect bags filled with coffee and puzzle pieces. Sarita insisted that Stephanie be the caller for Zapatera despite concerns from Steve and David while Ometepe made the obvious choice and picked Rob.
The challenge was a typical scream fest highlighted by Stephanie trying to tell Ralph what to do and where to go and Ralph being unable to tell his left from his right. Give him a break guys he was blindfolded after all. How many of us could tell our left from our right if we were blindfolded? What’s that you say? All of us? Oh, never mind.
Rob guided his players through first and was able to start opening his bags and working on his puzzle, but Stephanie quickly caught up and actually had all of her puzzle pieces out before Rob. This led Sarita to announce that she had complete confidence in Stephanie which ultimately led to Steve announcing that they should have picked Dave. Being the puzzle master that he is, Rob was able to clean up and pull out victory for his tribe. Stephanie and Krista knew that one of them would be headed to Redemption Island after the vote.
The donuts were a big hit and Phillip even tried to strike a deal to give up a donut to one of the girls he had referred to as crabs in exchange for a massage. Obviously (and thankfully) none of the luscious ladies took him up on that offer. I think if Phillip showed up at a spa in his fuchsia panties and tried to pay for a massage they would turn him away. On the other hand Grant was thrilled with the coffee. So much so that he insisted on everyone smelling it. Then he made a discovery. A clue to the hidden immunity idol hidden in the coffee. He got Rob to help him and they snuck away to retrieve the clue. Since Rob was already in possession of the idol he played along. I guess it takes four seasons on Survivor for someone to finally learn that you should not tell anyone when you have the idol. Rob played a little game of unbury the old clue and bury the new one so Grant would have little info to go on, not that it mattered because it’s not like he was going to find anything.
Things started getting a little heated up at Zapatera, but not that much. David insisted that he was to do all the puzzles from that point forward while Steve lamented Sarita’s confidence in Stephanie. Sarita even stated that she’d like to get rid of David, but I think we all knew that the solid six was going to stick together and play it smart. Why take a chance now when you don’t have to?
At Tribal Council Krista spoke up for herself and called out her tribe for being full of secondary alliances, but no one seemed to take the bait. Krista referred to herself and Stephanie as unwanted stepchildren on a camping trip with the Brady Bunch. I have to say that camping with the Brady Bunch never seemed that appealing to me seeing that you’d end up in a spooky old ghost town and getting locked up by Thurston Howell III followed by eating beans out of a flashlight in the Grand Canyon with an Indian. Then Bobby and Cindy disappear and the whole thing goes bonkers. Nope, you’re much better off going to Hawaii with the Brady’s. I don’t know if Krista was the target for the solid six before they got to tribal, but she sure was once she opened her mouth and spouted her opinions. I have to say that I have never found Krista to be a particularly difficult name to spell, but our friends at Zapatera certainly were creative. In the end Krista was voted off 6-2 with the two votes going to Steve courtesy of Russell’s little toadies. Krista went off to Redemption Island and will battle with Matt next week. The smart money is on Matt to continue his dominance, but you never know. Maybe the challenge will be Brady Bunch trivia and Krista will clean up.
Keep watching my friends…
