Tonight on Survivor South Pacific we saw Ozzy, Keith, and Jim face off at Redemption Island and sure enough, just like the spoilers said, Ozzy bested his competitors. Ozzy will remain in the game while Jim became the first jury member and Keith became the second.

In an attempt to shift the balance of Upolu, Albert approached Sophie, the winner of this week’s immunity idol, to change sides and keep the remaining Savaii in the game. It didn’t work. Dawn was eliminated.

After Dawn’s elimination, Jeff Probst threw the castaways a curveball and announced they’d immediately go to the next immunity challenge and then vote right away for the second elimination of the night.

During the second immunity challenge, where the castaways used a cube for multiple choice answers, the battle came down to Whitney and Sophie. Sophie won for the second time of the day when Whitney answered that giant clams were dangerous. Seriously, Whitney? Sheesh.

When Jeff counted the second round of votes, no surprise here, Whitney was eliminated and sent to Redemption Island. That means, for the second time this season, we’re getting exactly what Probst promised pre-season would not happened: three-person “duel.”

Next week should be another exciting episode of Survivor South Pacific!

Here’s your spoiler preview of tonight’s Survivor South Pacific challenge. Of course if there are two tribal votes then I’d expect two challenges, but for now we’re just getting a peak at one of them.

The challenge is called “Price On Your Head” and features the castaways balancing a large rice bowl on their head, running over a balance beam, and then being the first to deliver enough rice to lift a flag. Pretty simple idea. Pretty hard to do, as demonstrated by Survivor’s “Dream Team.” Check it out below and then get ready for the real thing tonight at 8PM ET/PT on CBS.

CBS confirms, two castaways will be sent to Redemption Island tonight on Survivor. That’s not all though, we’ve got preview peaks at Ozzy, Jim, and Keith all competing against each other in a “duel” in the arena. If you can’t wait until tonight to find out who wins, then check the Survivor spoilers for that info.

The big question is: who will Upolu knock off Survivor South Pacific next? The easy answer would be Dawn and Whitney, but maybe we’ll have some surprises. Albert hints he could be ready to make a big move against Coach. Will he have the guts, or is CBS just teasing us with that bit in the preview?

Who do you want to see head to Redemption Island next?

Survivor South Pacific returns on Wednesday with episode 10 following last week’s exciting double elimination of Ozzy and Jim. We’ll get all three of the former Savaii tribe alpha males facing off at Redemption Island, leaving just Cochran, Whitney, and Dawn to survive against the dominating Upolu.

Check out the preview video below for the latest Survivor 2011 episode and don’t forget you can find out the Survivor spoilers for this week too if you can’t wait for Wednesday night.

If the rumors are true then another two will be eliminated this week. Who do you think it will be?

I hope you enjoyed last week’s double elimination, but according to the Survivor Spoilers at TVFunSpot we’ll be getting another double dose this week around. If you’d rather not know what’s going to happen on Wednesday’s episode then steer clear of this post and read no further. However, for those dying to know if Cochran keeps his collar flipped up or just flips sides again, read on.

After hitting its year-high peak last week, Survivor South Pacific took a tumble this Wednesday and found its lowest ratings of the season when pitted against ABC’s CMA Awards show.

Survivor drew in 10.8 million viewers overall, which is very solid, but managed to lose in its key demographic 18-49. The roughly 14% drop was the show’s worst of the season, but since the CMAs are only once a year we should see Probst and company pick back up next week.

I’m a little surprised that the drama of a double elimination and inner-tribal betrayal wasn’t enough to keep its numbers higher, but then again CMA co-host Carrie Underwood does have slightly nicer hair than Coach and Ozzy.

Survivor South Pacific is back tonight after an exciting round last week where we saw Ozzy save himself at Redemption Island, the tribes came together with the merge, and then Cochran turned on Savaii and flipped to Upolu with Keith’s elimination. Craziness.

The preview of tonight’s episode (watch the video below) makes it look like life is going to be pretty rough for Cochran as a result of his decisions last week. Luckily for him he’ll have the numbers on his side if Upolu continues to keep his vote on their side and pick off Savaii one by one.

If you can’t wait for tonight for some Survivor spoilers, then feel free to jump over to TVFunSpot and find out will allegedly be joining Keith at Redemption Island for a new round of survival battles starting next week.

I’ll keep an eye out for CBS releasing a preview video of tonight’s immunity challenge, but nothing was up there at the time of this publishing.

Last week we witnessed Cochran abandon his former tribe, Savaii, and align forces with Upolu. Many fans were scratching their heads asking, “why?” A newly released deleted scene from Survivor South Pacific episode 8 helps clear that up.

Coach was hard at work on Cochran with the mindgames and influenced Albert to convince him that he’d be joining their side and become a respected member of their team. Albert does an excellent job at this and Cochran walks away thinking there’s an opportunity for him to be a final-four player with Coach, Albert, and Sophie. Poor Cochran. This guy just can’t catch a break.

Survivor was on fire this week when it hit its highest ratings in nearly a year. The South Pacific castaways drew in 11.9 million viewers, actually beating out Fox’s X Factor live performance show in total viewers, according to TVBytheNumbers.

Does Survivor have what it takes to keep those numbers rolling through the rest of the season? Either way, it’s making the next season, possibly titled Survivor One World, seem like a no brainer. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next!
