This is our next to last episode before the big finale Sunday night so it’s sure to be jam packed with a lot of emotion, scheming and backstabbing.

We have the family visits where we can see Russell with his wife Melanie and the rest of the castaways with their significant others.  Jerri and Parvati are supposedly the big winners in the challenges and Rupert will leave the game in tears after not trusting in Sandra. 

Be sure to check in with us as we discuss the in’s and out’s of the game before and after the show as we try to determine who is really running things out there in Samoa, Parvati or Russell.  Or could it be the behind the scenes Sandra who has the real power this season?

The family visit is this week and the castaways will play with their significant other in a reward challenge for more time to visit.  Rupert and Russell’s wife come as wells as Jerri’s sister, Sandra’s uncle, Parvati’s dad, and Colby’s brother. 

The reward challenge is from Cook’s Island and is called Pass the Bucket.  Players will use buckets to scoop up ocean water and toss it to their loved one who will try and catch the water and pour it into a container.  Whomever gets the water to a particular line wins the challenge.

Jerri wins the challenge and takes Parvati and Sandra with her on the reward leaving Russell, Colby and Rupert to strategize in their absence.

Rupert decides to make a deal with the devil despite Sandra’s attempts to help him and give him the HII.  Rupert, obviously forgetting what happened to JT, runs to Russ with this information.

The Immunity Challenge is from Gabon called Keep It Up.  The contestants will balance two poles on the backs of their hands for as long as possible.  The winner is who can keep both poles up the longest.  According to blackwhale, Parvati will win the challenge but since we are batting about 50% with his spoilers you never know what is going to happen.

Rupert is mad at Sandra for voting against him at the last TC and this leads to an arguement between the two which is why he is leery of Sandra trying to help him out.  Expect a shock when Sandra pulls out the idol and plays it for herself at TC which is the nail in the coffin for Rupert.  He realizes Sandra really did want to help him and leaves for the ponderosa in tears.

Thanks to survivor phoenix and fever for vidcaps.

Only two episode left.   The finale is Sunday for two hours.

CBS Press Release:

ONE CASTAWAY MAKES A SURPRISING CHOICE THAT SENDS RIPPLES THROUGH THE TRIBE AND THREATENS TO COST SOMEONE THE MILLION DOLLAR PRIZE, ON “SURVIVOR: HEROES VS. VILLAINS,” THURSDAY, MAY 13

“Loose Lips Sink Ships” – The final six get the chance to earn time with their loved ones in a fiercely fought reward challenge.  Desperate for options, the remaining heroes make an unexpected ally, hoping to turn the game around.

We had so much to cover in the hour long show but they manage to get it all in.  It starts with Russell and Rupert going at it.  Rupert wants to show the other Villains just how awful of a person Russ is and tells them he is disgusting for swearing on his kids life.  Russ tells Rupert he doesn’t give a f about him and that he’s a dumbass.  He wants Rupert to pack his bags. 

Immunity Challenge #1:  Stand on perch while your arm is in the air and tethered to a bucket of colored water.  If you lower your arm, the bucket pours down on you and you are out of the game.  Jeff will tempt them with food items throughout the game.  Parvati won this challenge in favs v. favs lasting 6 hours.

Jeff offers the first food item within a minute of the game and before he can lift the cover, Sandra and Russell both say they want it.  They get a plate full of cookies and milk.  After about ten minutes he offers four donuts and a cup of iced coffee which Colby gladly accepts.  When the next item comes up, it is a plate full of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, two glasses of milk and a bowl of candy.  Jerri, Danielle and Candice all get down to eat this food which leaves Rupert to battle it out with Parvati.  Rupert slips and Parvati wins immunity.  Jeff then reads aloud a clue to the next HII and back at camp everyone is scrambling. 

Everyone wants the idol especially Rupert who knows his time is coming but Sandra finds it and does the right thing and tells no one.  Way to keep your mouth shut.  Russ needs to take a few lessons on how to do that.  Rupert comes up with a plan to make the others THINK he had the idol by putting a large rock in his pocket and it works great.  He totally had Russell thinking he had it so Russ comes up with a plan to split the votes and make Rupert play it.  He wants to split them 3 for Rupert and 3 for Colby but the ladies want Candice gone and Rupert and Colby had already decided to vote for Candice so it goes down in there favor at Tribal and Candice is sent to the Ponderosa.

When they return to camp Russ is pissed and the girls try to reason with him but Russ knows he and Parv are equally in control so he has to do something about that.

Immunity Challenge 2:  All players race to dig up a peg that they will manouver through a maze, the first five move on to the next round.  Rupert finishes first followed by Sandra who is shocked as are we, then Russ, Parvati and Danielle.  The next leg starts and the five race to grab 4 pegs that they will use to get up a climbing wall.  Russ gets halfway up the wall without a peg and finishes first followed by Rupert and Parvati.  The three of them compete in the last leg which is solving a puzzle.  Russell wins individual immunity!

Back at camp, Russ tells Danielle that it is time to get Parv out and then tells Parv that Danielle wants her gone.  He was thinking Parv would trust him and keep her mouth shut but Parv isn’t like the players on Samoa so of course she confronts Danielle.  The scramble is on from this point on for Russ to get the votes to send Danielle packing and Parv trying to save her.

At tribal council Jeff asks Rupert who is running the show and he says both Russ and Parv which I’m sure Russ doesn’t like.  Parv tells Jeff what went on at camp and good Lord, Danielle starts crying.  Come on chica you are a villain for crying out loud.  Dry up those tears.  She is sent to the Ponderosa and Parvati is pissed.

It looks like next week Parvati and Sandra are going to get close and form their own alliance while Russ hooks up with Rupert and Colby.  Who is now in control?  Russ or Parvati?

Get ready to have a lot packed in to the hour long episode with two immunity challenges, two tribal councils, and 2 boots.  We should see the players scrambling to stay in the game while Russell and Parvati go head to head with each of them seeing their ally take the long rode to the ponderosa.

Will the spoilers be correct this week?  Will Candice sit out of the challenge and eat instead of compete?  Will Russ save Rupert and gain a friend for a couple of days?  Will Sandra continue to try and get Russ out of the game?  Who will prevail between the king and queen of survivor?  Find out all these answers tonight on Heroes vs. Villains.  Be sure to join us for all the talk before and after the show as we break it all down and discuss the ins and outs of the game.

CBS PRESS RELEASE: 

TWO IMMUNITY CHALLENGES SEND THE MERGED TRIBE TO BACK-TO-BACK TRIBAL COUNCILS AND, WITH ALLIANCES TEETERING ON SHAKY GROUND, EVERYONE IS SCRAMBLING FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE HIDDEN IMMUNITY IDOL, ON “SURVIVOR: HEROES VS. VILLAINS”

The hunt is back on for another idol and we will find out if the king of idols will find it yet again.  Surely his luck is about to run out in that regard but this is Russell so you can’t ever tell.  Blackwhale said Russ plays an idol at Candice’s boot so if this is correct, he has to find it during this episode.

We have two immunity challenges and two eliminations this week so a lot to get to in only an hour.  Our first challenge is When It Rains, It Pours.  Survivors are chained with their arms up in the air to a water bucket; if they lower their arms the bucket tilts and pours down on their head.  Players can choose to eat and not participate in this competition.  Blackwhale has this to say:  “At the top 8, with the Heroes down at a 5-3 deficit, the offer is made, as it has been in a few seasons, to either feast or compete for immunity. Candice, feeling assured by her deal with Russell, chooses to eat! The Villain girls, who are already suspicious of Russell’s connection with Candice, become upset when Candice flagrantly sits out of the challenge. After Parvati wins immunity at the top 8, she again asserts her authority over Russell and has the girls’ backing to eliminate Candice before Rupert. Though Candice may not have been able to defeat Parvati in the challenge, she still made a critical error in showing her hand and helping to get the wheels in the girls’ heads spinning.”  Supposedly Parvati will win this challenge.

Here is Candice, so does she choose to eat after she is hanging up there or are the spoilers wrong?  Missyae says Candice is the next to go so at least that spoiler is correct.

We get started tonight with what I thought was going to be an epic fight between Russell and Parvati but once again he disappoints me and just lets it go. 

Russell talks to Candice and gets her to flip to the villain’s side and Rupert talks to Sandra and she wants to take out Russell.  Candice lets Russ know that Sandra is planning on voting him out with the heroes but when Russ confronts Sandra she says otherwise.

Reward Challenge:  Survivor Shuffle Board – 3 groups of 3 consist of team 1 – Candice, Parvati and Jerri.  Team two is Rupert, Russell and Sandra and team 3 is Danielle, Colby and Amanda.  Each person takes a turn to shove a puck towards an X on the board.  Whomever’s puck is closest win reward for their team.  Sandra is by far the worst once again and even Jeff tells her she wastes a shot.  Russell and Rupert both get their pucks the closest so it’s up to Colby to win it for his team and he shoots and lands right on the X.  The reward is going to the house owned by Robert Lewis Stevenson which is now a museum and spend the night there and watch Treasure Island and eat popcorn.  Too bad they didn’t let them take a shower as well before sleeping in that nice bed.  Danielle finds the clue to the next HII and slips it down and puts it under the bed.  Amanda jumps up and goes to her side and grabs it.  The two go at it and Colby finally tells Amanda that Danielle found it so it is hers so Amanda gives it back.  I will say that if I had been Amanda there is no way in hell Danielle would have gotten that clue back.  I would have torn it in a million pieces before giving it back to her.

Danielle shares the clue with the rest of her clique and she and Russ go on a search and Russ finds it but decides to hide it from her and Parvati since they did it to him last week.  He does decide to tell Candice so she would know to trust him.  Russ runs his mouth way too much.  I understand why he showed Candice the idol but then he tells Sandra one of the heroes has flipped to their side.  Later he tells Sandra that Candice let it slip that they were voting him out with Sandra leading the pack.  Sandra and Candice have a little chat and Candice lets her know she wants Amanda gone. 

Amanda doesn’t seem like herself this go around.  She doesn’t say much and acts depressed when the cameras are on her.  Perhaps she is sad that she is not working with Parv?  I don’t know what it is.

Immunity Challenge is House of Cards and each person receives 150 tiles they use to make a stack up to 10 feet.  Russ and Jerri bury everyone and Jerri wins her first immunity necklace just seconds before Russ.  A really good effort by Russell.

At Tribal Council Russell lets it be known that he will take a risk all day long to further himself in the game and that’s why I like Russ.  Win or lose, he makes things interesting with his bold moves.  Russ plays the idol to be on the safe side and when Parvati’s name is written down he is upset with himself but it didn’t matter because Amanda was sent to Ponderosa for the first time.  She will no longer have more days than anyone.  Parvati tells Russ he wasted the idol.  At the end we see that both Candice and Sandra wrote down Amanda’s name.

Next week we will see who wins when Parvati targets Russell’s new friend Candice.

Thursday is finally here so let’s get ready for some Heroes vs. Villains tonight.  Can’t wait to see what goes down when Sandra tries to vote out Russell cause you know he’s not going to take that $hit lying down! 

There seems to be a lot of confusion on who wins the immunity challenge and from what I’ve read it’s either going to be Jerri or Parvati.  Blackwhale has said a couple of different things.  One was Amanda gets voted out in a 6-3 vote with Jerri getting the three votes but then he/she said Jerri wins immunity.  Jerri can’t have three votes against her if she wins immunity so it’s anybodies guess as to who wins.

Also, since both idols got played last week get ready for another clue and yes, another idol.  It may not be this week when someone finds it but it will be soon because there should be another 3 or 4 played this season.  Damn, that’s a lot of idols for one season.

Be sure to join us here for all pre and post show discussions!

Any guess why Russ doesn’t try to vote out Sandra?
