Survivor: Dropping The Deuce

Kudos to Sally--who seems pretty bright and pretty athletic as well as just pretty--for saving her own neck last night. I like it when the person on the chopping block shows some fight. But clearly the play of the game goes to Bobby for literally sh*tting all over his tribe's plans for the reward challenge bounty. It's not often you can say that someone "literally" did this or that and be using "literally" literally, rather than figuratively. For example, I could say "Astronaut Dan looks like he's literally falling apart out there" if I wanted to abuse the term in the manner that has become all too common these days. But Bobby, well, our man did indeed sh*t all over those plans to turn the outhouse into a storage shed. Literally.

In the meantime, yoga-addled Courtney may be an Evil Hippie, but she's been fierce in the challenges that involve swimming. Gotta love that. And no one can stir up trouble around camp like an Evil Hippie (remember Kimmie the Militant Vegetarian from "Survivor: The Australian Outback"?). Gotta love that! I mean, who else is going to provoke a fight by doing yoga in an improvised Zen garden (next week's preview). It's a job that calls for an Evil Hippie. Given all the drama, I predict the alliance in this tribe will split and a power struggle will determine whether it's Evil Courtney or Crazy Shane that goes home before the merge. That's assuming a) the tribes don't get re-scrambled before the merge, and b) Terry's tribe can pull it together to win an immunity challenge.

Other notes:

  • There's no such thing as "the Final Five" (sorry, Ruth Marie).
  • Yes, Terry's super-duper, and the fact that he found the immunity idol means he'll be around for awhile. But the most dominant players don't often win.
  • Danielle believes there's an Emmy category for "Best Supported Actress" and is hoping for a nomination.
  • Cierie's funny.
Only four more sleeps until The Amazing Race!
