Survivor 20: Sandra Diaz-Twine Wins Again

Ashley — Mon, 17 May 2010 03:02:07 +0000

Sandra Diaz-Twine is the only two time winner of Survivor. Her philosophy of “as long as it’s not me” brought her all the way to the final tribal council where she had the chance to plead her case to the jury. In a 6-3 vote the jury members awarded Sandra the title of Sole Survivor and the prize money of a million dollars for the second time.

At the final tribal council the jury members questioned all three finalists and it was pretty obvious that no one liked Russell and no one respects his game. Colby tells him that he is delusional if he thinks he made it to the end without luck. Coach tells Russ he can be a very little man in stature and word while praising Parvati as a warrior. But, Danielle put the nail in the coffin when she asked if he would do anything differently and when he says no and sticks by all his moves, she tells him he has a lack of skill with the jury and won’t receive any votes. It turns out she was correct. What do you think? Did we have two bitter juries or is there a lot we don’t see of Russ and his evil ways that are lost in the editing room?

JT wins the trophy for the dumbest move ever by a castaway which I personally don’t agree with. Tyson and Erik’s moves were by far worse than that. The general concensus on here was that Erik had the stupidest move while I thought the award should go to Tyson.

America has voted and in another contest of good vs. evil the vote came down to Rupert and Russell with Russell once again winning America’s vote. Not a real shock as most of us like to watch tv to be entertained and that is what Russell brings to the table, entertainment.

To all you wonderful fandom regulars, I have thoroughly enjoyed hanging with you all and discussing this game. We have had some really good moments on this site and I hope you will all join me and Killer K on realityrewind.com as we take on the reality tv world. Next season we have some exciting news that Fandom is being considered to do exit interviews. We have talked to the publicist for both CBS and Survivor and are pleased to have the opportunity to add this to our site for your enjoyment.

Next stop: Survivor Nicaragua! See ya in September!

Survivor 20: It’s Finale Day! Spoiler Alert!

Ashley — Sun, 16 May 2010 14:47:52 +0000

It’s all come down to this. In just a few hours we will watch the three hour Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains two hour finale and one hour reunion show. What a long journey we have been through watching these 20 all stars tear up the game as Russell and Parvati fought for control.

It all ends tonight and the 28 show reign of Russell Hantz will come to an end. I wouldn’t expect to see him back for either season of Nicaragua but this is Survivor where anything can happen lol. I think we all need a break for his evil antics to let someone have their shot at the million dollar prize.

The spoilers were in place back in October and the boot list has been 100% accurate so unless a miracle occurs, we will watch Sandra Diaz-Twine take her home second million and be the only two time winner of the game. A bittersweet ending for most of us but I’m reserving judgment until after I see the episodes tonight.

It should be one awesome final tribal council as the jury members question the three finalists and to see if Russell gets the shaft from the players. Catch it all tonight starting at 7C/8E on CBS!

Survivor 20: Episode 14 Spoilers

Ashley — Sat, 15 May 2010 00:33:58 +0000

CBS PRESS RELEASE: ” THE FINAL CASTAWAYS DEFEND THEIR CHOICES AND LOBBY FOR VOTES FROM BITTER JURORS TO DECIDE THE MOST DESERVING OF THE MILLION DOLLARS AND THE TITLE OF SOLE SURVIVOR
One-Hour Live Reunion Show Hosted by Jeff ProbstFollows With All 20 Heroes and Villains “Anything Could Happen” – As the final tribal council draws near, Survivors struggle to stay on top of their game as alliances crumble and everyone starts to play for themselves, on a special two-hour season finale.”

Get ready for 3 hours of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains Sunday night as we face 3 Tribal Councils and 2 eliminations. Our next and last fallen heroe is Colby Donaldson who barely showed up this season to compete and strategize. What a disappointment it was to see him not really care about his game at all. Parvati will supposedly win the plate stacking challenge before he gets the boot.

Blackwhale claims that Sandra puts the bug in Russell’s ear to get Jerri out because she and Parvati don’t want to go to the final TC with someone who hasn’t won and they feel like Russ is not a threat. Blackwhale also claimed that the final immunity challenge was the same one they did in Samoa that Russ won. However, I read an article at sucks that said the final IC would have the final 4 blindfolded so now I’m wondering what the challenge actually is and if Russell really wins.

Someone asked blackwhale what Russ’s final TC was like and here is the response:

“The jury pays him no serious consideration, they treat him poorly on the whole, do not take him seriously, and do not respect his game. He approaches things terribly all along, from telling Jerri she owes him her vote, to telling someone like Coach that “it’s just a game” over the necklace incident, when any fool could realize that it’s more than just a game to Coach. In many instances, he doesn’t really get the chance to speak, the jury rakes him over the coals and knows going in that it is strictly a choice between Parvati and Sandra. So it definitely hurt his ego that nobody was marveling over his game. Candice made some sort of comment that he is like an abusive husband and Parvati an abused wife, he took it as a compliment and said thank you, so that elicited some laughter from everyone.”

Sounds like no one is even considering giving Russ the million so with that being said, I really hope the count is wrong and Parvati wins. Here is a quote from Jeff Probst,”I think Parvati is the best overall player, regardless of whether she wins or loses, to ever play the game of ‘Survivor,’” said Probst. “She came in with a gigantic target on her back, and she managed to not only last in the game but control the game. I think she and Russell will both argue that they’re the ones in control, and both are probably right.”

Also, Sunday marks the 28th episode in a row that we have watched Russell Hantz play Survivor.

Survivor 20: Episode 13 Just kind of blah

Ashley — Fri, 14 May 2010 01:42:32 +0000

I really had my expectations up for this episode but it never reached that climax I kept waiting for. So now I’m left disappointed and just kind of blahhhh. You ladies know what I’m talking about lol jk.

There’s really not much to talk about because it was pretty much how we expected. Rupert was ecstatic to still be in the game and put too much trust in his final 3 deal with Russell. However Sandra did pull the idol so even if Russell had voted with Rupert to get her out he still would have gone to the ponderosa. They couldn’t vote out Parvati like they had planned because she won immunity and Russ wouldn’t get rid of Jerri because he thinks for some reason that he has control of her and her vote but after what happened at the reward challenge, I think Jerri is feeding Russ what he wants to hear and staying true to her alliance with the girls.

The family visits were cool and it was nice to see everyone have a moment with their loved ones. I felt bad for Russ, Rupert and Colby who didn’t get to share in the reward or have additional time to spend with their significant others but it was cool for the girls to get some alone time together to strategize and ensure their safety with each other.

Russell didn’t know what he was getting into with Parvati. I guess he thought all women were suppose to be like Natalie and just follow his lead but these women have played this game and neither Parvati nor Sandra are going to back down from getting what they want. Basically Russ threw Parvati at Sandra when he had Danielle voted out so I’m not sure what he thought would happen. Of course the two are going to team up against him because they see him as a threat. They need him to get out Rupert and Colby and after that all bets are off.

I’m hope the finale can live up to the hype and maybe we will see some great game play on Sunday.

What did you all think of tonight’s episode?

Survivor 20: Episode 13 Tonight On CBS

Ashley — Thu, 13 May 2010 11:00:14 +0000

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?

Survivor 20: Episode 13 Spoilers & Challenge Info

Ashley — Tue, 11 May 2010 15:39:01 +0000

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.

Survivor 20: Episode 12 Recap

Ashley — Fri, 07 May 2010 01:46:01 +0000

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?
