Tonight’s episode featured little of our hometown girl but was full of Survivor deliciousness none the less. So let’s jump in. First we see Jalapenos tribesmen go hunting for termites. I’m assuming they watched a little too much Survivorman before coming to the show. On day seven there is no reason for eating bugs other than to fill your testosterone quota for the week. Sandy is right there with the guys, although she doesn’t partake in the wormy goodness as Stephen and Spencer do. Complete gross out moment for me.
Cut to Timbira where Sierra has decided to tell Brendan that there is a hidden immunity idol at their camp. I think this is a bad move on her part…but even with the help of Brendan she still doesn’t find it. One of the best moments of the night was Erinn finding them on the beach digging a huge pit in the sand. This is where I’ve got to give Sierra a little credit: her quick thinking saved her butt. At least for now. Getting Erinn excited about a beach bonfire was brilliant TV. I wonder if she’s sitting at home thinking “I can’t believe I fell for that”! Also at this point I’m thinking there’s some sexual tension between Candace and Coach. But that flame is put out soon enough.
Back to Jalapeno where SWV’s Taj reveals her husband is Eddie George. Now this means nothing to me. I, like Stephen, have absolutely no idea who he is. Reality television is my sport. And all I’m thinking is “this is the chick that sang “I get so weak in the knees” somebody please recognize her!!” (You can thank me for putting that song in your head for the rest of the day later.) Anyway, bad bad move Taj. Now they know you’ve got money and that equals you going home.
Here comes the challenge.
The battle of the boobs, booties, and blurs begins! Why don’t they give these girls a decent swimsuit to wear? (I know the answer but I have to ask the question) It also makes me think they blur way more than they have too just to make us think we could be seeing something. Sandy will not let Erinn go. The bathing suit battle is on and Jeff is loving it! He also mentions Coach is “dragging”…isn’t he a Soccer Coach?!
Jalapeno wins! And our Sandy survives another week! I’m excited for her and her tribe. They needed this.
An interesting twist on Exile Island tonight! Players exiled choose one person from the other team to join them and they can choose to return to different tribes after their stay! Plus there are hidden immunities at both camps. This will add a whole new level to secret alliances for sure. I love this change and am excited to see how it plays out.
Brendan is banished to Exile Island and he takes Taj with him. They talk about their respective tribes and a kinship is born. Brendan plays a good game by lying to his teammates about what happened on Exile. He’s smart not to give it away.
With Timbira headed to tribal council the castaways are getting testy. Candace is a “cancer” according to Coach. Interesting choice of words for him (see link at bottom of post). Candace seems to think Coach’s mouth will get him voted off. She’s in for a surprise when her entire tribe turns on her. She’s out and she had no clue it would be her.
And speaking of Candace- do you see a resembalance here? I sure do.
And finally I must share this interesting tidbit I found about “Coach” Wade. Ick.

I’ve already picked who I think will be the ultimate survivor. (we have an office pool going- it’s great when your job is to live, eat and breath television!) Now that we know the players better-who do you think it’ll be? Leave a comment and let me know!
