Survivor 2010: Episode 11 Recap

We get started tonight on Survivor 2010 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.
