‘How Did I Lie To You??’ Is The First Day Of Sweeps The Last Day For Russell?? Thursday Brings SURVIVOR 20.11!!

Published at:  Apr 29, 2010 2:18:59 AM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!



I am – Hercules!!

“You have some explaining to do,” Russell told Parvati as J.T. rose to have his torch Probst-snuffed. Russell is no longer in the loop!

And thanks to Parvati distributing Russell’s idol to Sandra at tribal council last week, the four remaining heroes now understand Russell was still firmly allied with his fellow villains. And not to be trusted.

And! As tonight’s episode begins nobody has any hidden immunity idols.

Does tonight mark Russell’s last stand – at least until “Survivor” invites him back five years hence for a third try?

And how crazy is it that Colby is still hanging around?

Footage from the Ponderosa, where the jury dwells, suggests the weather intends in the near term to pound the nine remaining contestants:

HEROES
Rupert Boneham
Colby Donaldson
Amanda Kimmel
Candice Woodcock

VILLAINS
Sandra Diaz-Twine
Danielle DiLorenzo
Russell Hantz
Jerri Manthey
Parvati Shallow

Meanwhile, back at the jury house, The Dragonslayer -- still clearly in Russell's thrall -- thinks Russell is safe while newly exiled J.T. thinks Parvati, Danielle and Jerri are ready to turn on their leader:



Last week’s shocking, Parvati-driven conclusion:

    Survivor is the modern Canterbury Tales

    by enan

    The show follows the same pattern used by Chaucer, following archetypal characters on a journey, ultimately competing in a storytelling competition. The most interesting characters, whose stories are the most transmittable and relatable, are the ones who last. At the end of their journey lies the faux fulfillment they have been bred to desire. Russell is like the villainous priest; he only worships oil and money instead of silly mythologies. Rupert is totally the friar. Parvati the Wife of Bathe. Amanda is the priestess. Colby is the knight. Sandra is the pardoner. Just wait til this summer when I tell you how Big Brother is like Moby Dick.

    Russell isn't going anywhere

    by auriellis

    I predict Amanda or Colby to be ousted tonight. Russell is too strong and too conniving to let one chick bring him down. Even if Sandra jumps ship, Parv will get her friend to vote with their side. Or an HI will be found. His alliance with Parv can easily outlast one secret.

    Parvati will keep Russell

    by johnnyangel

    Russell is the perfect guy to take to the finals because he cannot win the jury vote. He betrayed and humiliated the Heroes. He betrayed and humiliated Coach. That skinny blonde on the jury hates him, call him an "Evil Troll". Sandra hates him. Jerri loves Parvati and would vote for her. The other chick on the Villains is friends with Parvati. Russell may be the only person Parvati could beat in the finals. She's smart enough to know that. Hence she will drag Russell stinking carcass to the end.

    Reply to Talkback

  • Hopefully, that means Russell is able to pull another immunity idol out of a tree somewhere and save himself another week. Sandra is gunning for him and Parvati's tee-heeing double-idol play last week should give Colby the idea to talk Russell into flipping on her.

    by acappellaman

    I will really miss him. He's very entertaining to watch. However, I think he TOTALLY underestimated Parvati, and he should know better. He'd better be careful how he confronts her, because if he comes on too hard, she'll be forced to get rid of him. I hope he finds the next HI. That would make for a fun tribal council.

    by captain papercut

    is that Parv does a smile, a wink, and a wiggle -- and gets Russell back in puppy-dog mode. Then, she still uses him as the blunt end of her attack and lets him go after whomever he feels threatened by next. Probably a male, so I'm thinking Colby or Rupert is going home.

    How cool if Russell got the new immunity idol?

    by chain

    But I have to say he's made Parvati nervous with that "you lied to me" comment.

    Still she knows she needs one more of the heroes gone before she can really afford to jettison him. And I don't think she trusts Sandra for anything than a "Russell" vote. She should know that if Russell is gone then Sandra would mostly likely flip and take Parvati out.

    It should be interesting.

    I won't be able to watch tonight. Which might be for the best, if Russell goes. It would make me sad. But Parv straight-up played him like a fiddle; I still love me some evil troll, but I can't deny that Parv is running the show and I'm interested to see how it plays out. My bet is tonight Sandra makes noise about flipping, but is ultimately convinced to get rid of one more Hero first (hopefully Rupert, that man has worn out his welcome hugely) - although, in any of the endurance challenges the women are only competing amongst themselves now that JT is gone, so it might make sense to keep him around and get rid of Amanda. Although, on the other other hand, Parv probably wants Amanda on her side... maybe she can convince Amanda to flip?SO MANY POSSIBILITIES. Damn good season.

    by johnnyangel

    He's made some of the great plays in Survivor history and he's fun to watch but the object is to win the million dollars and the way Russell plays, he'll never get the jury vote, because he makes too many enemies. And now that everyone knows the way he plays, if he's ever on a future show, he'll be the first everyone else gangs up against and votes off.

    when the producers decide to get rid of him. SURVIVOR is not really a gameshow but carefully-crafted, choreographed reality show. Ever notice how some players seem to miraculously "know" things that they shouldn't know? How many times has a player switched their vote at the last minute, completely changing the dynamics of the game and sending everything into turmoil? Ever notice that the most colorful characters seem to stick around long after they have worn out their welcome? Those off-camera talks that the producers have with each of the players influence everything that happens on the show.

    by captain papercut

    the producers don't interfere that much -- except to tell Jeff what's going on so he can ask waaay more pointed tribal council questions than he used to. He's way more involved in the game than he used to be. It's more that there's a huge amount of editing going on which leads to the surprises. Parv seems pretty bright, she could have deduced that when Amanda kept saying "you really need to play your idol" that it was a bluff to get her idol out. But who knows? Some other player could have been a mole and tipped her off. We, the viewers, are being hugely manipulated in the way the show is constructed -- and that's fine with me. I enjoy Survivor quite a bit, even when I think back to the episode I just watched and think, "wait...how did..." Plus, there's been enough ding-dongs on the show in the past (Johnny Fairplay, etc.) that if there was serious interference by the producers, they would have said something just to get more press for themselves. Also, if the producers are pulling all the strings, why do some of the lamest players win it all against some of the most charismatic? I'd name a few, but to be honest, I can't even remember some of them! Which kinda proves the point...

    about Survivor."And how crazy is it that Colby is still hanging around?"It is crazy indeed, Hercules. I sometimes forget he's still in the game. Although, last week notwithstanding ("I'm dropping out after 30 seconds because I know I can't win so won't even make as little as a half-assed effort"), he is one player who has the POTENTIAL to go on an individual immunity winning streak.

    The first rule of SURVIVOR....

    by warrensmooth

    is you do not talk about SURVIVOR. Everyone on the jury knows who won months before the TV finale... why hasn't someone spilled the beans yet? 1. Ironclad non-disclosure contracts with huge $$$ penalties. 2. Even the losers make big money doing promotional interviews and personal appearances. No one wants to kill the goose before it lays the golden egg. 3. The promise of a possible return in an all-star game. 4. Fear of backlash.

    It's the only explanation for Parv's move last week. Someone tipped her the target was either Sandra or Jerri. There's no other way she plays both idols and does not use on on herself, just in case, unless she was absolutely 100% certain it was not her name down on those pieces of paper.

    by arch_stanton

    He's smart enough to not let his irritation with Parvati screw up the momentum - And because Parvati and Sandra are both past winners (I think, right?), he has to realize that those are the only two people he could beat in a final vote. (Although I doubt even that would get him the win, frankly.)
    Last week, I think it's likely that Amanda spilled the beans on Jerri and Sandra, rather than some Survivor staff. Survivor staff can't possibly think that their direct involvement would remain secret forever. The stakes for the franchise are just too high to dick around like that.

    You need to have some bitch or asshole in you to win the game, and Amanda is just flat out too nice to do what it takes to win. Whether it's not wanting to answer questions at the final tribal honestly and instead trying to not ruffle any feathers to now giving the clue back to the conniving Danielle, she just wasn't made to win the game. She's still the best looking contestant in the history of the show, imo. Unfortunately, now she will be all made up and look horrible, which she always does at the reunions.

    None. He might get three votes from Pav, Dani or Jerri, but those are the only ones that would potentially vote for him--and only then if he was up against one of the heroes. I believe the rest of them will vote for anyone who is not Russell. I think he's fucked.

    I refuse to give up hope!

    by vin_diggler

    Russel is still the best player and deserves to win. Sure he had a moment of doubt, Parvati did throw off his game for a moment. But Russel is a fighter and he will pick himself back up. He won't win of course because of the flawed voting system,but he will make it to the final three. Mark my word.

    Russel may not be the last one standing

    by cartagia

    But he plays the game like nobody else. The way he bounced back after being blindsided by Parv and swooped down on hapless little Candice and wrapped his giant bat wing around her. The man knows what he's doing. He's just to exhausted from almost two straight seasons to see that he's pissing too many people off.
    Also, Parv knew to play both idols last week because Amanda wanted to be the one to turn the tide, and her silly little attempt to lure out the idol backfired in her face. Amanda lost this game for the Heroes.

    Parvati runs Russel...

    by arjaybee

    Parvati will be proven out to be the best Survivor player of all-time once she takes these guys out and trounces the remaining girls in challenges at the end. For the first time in two seasons Russel is confused about what's going on in camp. He badly misplayed his idol tonight and Parv let him know it.
    I'm a Parvati fan and I think she's just too smart and cunning for the remaining players.

    by vin_diggler

    Russell does not see what we see. He knows he is not in full control any more and evryone knows it is better to waste an idol than not use it at all. Russell may have slipped up this week, but that does not take away his past game play. Parvati may have pulled a fast one last week, but Russell still is the king of the blindside. It just shows that Parvati is obviously going to be Russells Nemesis. If I didn't know better, I would say this show is scripted.

    definitely an interesting episode...

    by harrywannabe

    It was awesome seeing Russell (eventually) get his game back (even if it wasn't to full-power...yet). When he found the Hidden Immunity Idol so easily and right in front of Danielle AND she had no clue...classic! It does suck that he inevitably wasted the HII, but better safe than sorry (at least in the spur of the moment that is). That and based on his latest intel, he was still a big target, so playing the Idol had to happen. I still hope Sandra is next to go. Her or Rupert. All Rupert does is bitch and moan because people aren't being all nice and civil. He's gotta learn to work both sides of the coin if he wants to win or get any further. I'm laughing at Colby though, poor guy just wanted some popcorn and a movie yet he had to babysit two whining children! Back to Russell though, if he gets to the final 3, I'm not as doubtful about him getting votes as many of you seem... I think he'd get J.T.'s vote for sure...given how well J.T. took being tricked by Russell, he seemed to show a lot of respect towards Russell, both before AND after being voted out. And given the whole "Heroes/Villains" aspect of the contestants and how so many of them really are smart players, I think a good number of the Jury could see that Russell really IS a strong player all-around and that could result in some votes thrown his way. *shrugs* As this season has shown, anything is possible!

    by captain papercut

    Man, he really HAS checked out of the game. That whole bedroom fight thing was the lamest thing I'd ever seen on the show. Good grief, have a little passion for the game! Or do one of two things: Make Danielle read the clue aloud so there's at least a small chance that a hero would get the idol once everyone was back at camp, or better yet -- get the clue and destroy it. Burn it, flush it, whatever. Get rid of the damn thing. There would be another clue sooner or later, but at least you would have shown a bit of sack and stood up not only for your teammate, but yourself and your desire to win. Holy crap! This is Survivor All-Stars, not who gets the last breadstick from Dominos! And, oh, it breaks my heart to see Amanda go like that. I was at least hoping for some epic immunity battle, not just her getting caught in the middle as the tribes figure out who will or won't flip. At least Russell saw that she was a bigger threat than ol' Colby. Hell, Amanda should have destroyed the clue rather than give it back to Danielle!

    There is no game...

    by warrensmooth

    the producers have been pitting "heroes" against "villains" since season one. The producers meet with players off-camera to discuss strategy all throughout the game. They influence votes, "accidentally" tip off secret alliances, and push the game any way they want it to go. Drama + big personalities = ratings. The personalities come from initial casting. The drama is manufactured on the set... by the producers.

    Colby and Survivor Timing

    by himbo

    He might be checked out just a bit. However, since day one, long pre-merge, tribes have been looking to vote out strength. Colby had a target on his back every frickin' week until he started playing Possum.
    And I thought it was awesome that he just kicked back, ate popcorn, and watched two hotties fight over the scroll. Given Survivor time-dilation, the girls might have wrestled for 10 minutes in real time. Colby ruled to give it Danielle, possibly so she would owe him a 'favor' later.
    As for oddities and inconsistencies in what we see versus how the votes go, and the allegations of tipping- Probst and others have explained that Tribal council usually lasts 90 minutes to two hours. People do get vibes in that time. Ever played poker?
    I've also always though Parvati was hotter than Amanda. Amanda always looks like she could cry at any second. While that can be nice to look at, it screams high-maintenance. Parv looks like she'd be fun to have a drink with, if UTTERLY untrustworthy.

Where in this room might the clue be hidden?""Wow, this popcorn is great!""Gee, I wish Colby would shut up about the damn popcorn, it's distracting. I have to get back to thinking about where the clue could be hidden."

    trying to convince Candice she wasn't out to get her, asks "Tell me who you want to vote out".Candice had said earlier to Russell that she was fine with voting out Amanda as Amanda had screwed her over several times during the game. Really? When did Amanda ever screw her over? I figured she was just telling Russell what he wanted to hear but seeing how she voted, I guess she was serious.

    Last night was all over the place

    by the_juicy_box_of_megan_fox

    Unlike others, I haven't really been into this season much because I'm suffering from Russell fatigue. Two seasons in a row is exhausting to spend with that disgusting troll.

    That being said, he'll NEVER win "Survivor" simply because he is an utter failure at the game's social aspect. Helluva strategic player, and definitely one of the show's most memorable players. But a complete and utter failure at getting people to like him. Only one person voted for him last season to win. And, based on his behavior at the last reunion, I'm thinking he's aware he doesn't win this season, either.

    Amanda and Danielle fighting last night was probably the most embarrassing thing ever on "Survivor." But Colby's non-reaction is probably one of the funniest things in "Survivor."

    And as far as Amanda's hotness goes, I've never thought she was all that. Sure, she's pretty and has a great body. But she's a terrible player, even though she made it to the final tribal council twice.

    I was really into Parvati during the Fans vs. Favorites season, but I find her completely unlikeable this season. She got a great edit during Fans vs. Favorites (probably because she won), but she's come off as a smug bitch this season.

    Russell winning

    by ecupirate71

    The most frustrating thing to me has always been the way the voting can go in the end. It is not always the most deserving player that wins. The thing that Russell has going for him is that this is a season full of veterans. Last season everyone disliked him and did not reward what he was able to do to stay in the game. I think that as much as the members of the jury might not like him because of the way he plays, I feel he will be respected because of how he played. None of the villians will vote for a remaining member of the heroes in the final group, and I believe JT (and possibly Candace and Colby) would also vote Russ. Russell needs Parvati to get to the finals with him because she may be as unlikeable to the others in that situation, as well as the possibility of being a past winner working against her. Rupert and Candace have no chance, but on second thought, if Colby sneaks in the final, he could sneak a few votes.

    immunity challenge, you'll see Parvati standing in front, with the skimpiest white bikini bottoms ever. I swear to god, it's see-through. You could make out her clit, lips everything clear as day. It looks tight as hell ... so she's got that going for her. I'm seriously surprised Survivor hasn't gotten some Fred Phelp's whacko type complaints filed with the FCC ... whoever the cameramen are this season, they are absolute pervs, and I love it.

    Colby!

    by captain papercut

    So now I'm starting to wonder if Colby's not going to win -- or at least be in the final. The producers like to edit a 'story' into the show. It would be an amazing one -- how he went from the lows to the (possible) highs. Maybe his checked-out attitude is just his strategy to get close to the end, and then, like Rocky or something, he'll come on strong at the finish and win. I haven't paid much attention to him this season, between the Russell vs. Boston Rob showdown and Amanda's underwear, but it could end up being an classic narrative if he went all the way...

    I'm Russell Hantz!

    by poorboy

    Although I'm disappointed we didn't get the Evil Troll's catch-phrase this week ("I'm Russell Hantz!"), there certainly was plenty of RH-centric intrigue, specifically his recruiting of Cancace, retention of Sandra, and, of course, finding and playing of the idol. And while Parvati was correct that he "wasted one", another Russell Seed was planted in the minds of all the players regarding his ability to ALWAYS have an idol.
    "so nervous" - RH must have thought that he'd been played when Parv's name came up. We can only assume that he was not told Parv was on the hot seat, yet the Heros must have told Cand & Sand who to vote for. Did C & S (alone or together) withhold that info on purpose to force the idol out? Since RH was not sure of either of thier votes, I don't see how he could not play the idol for himself no matter who they said the Heros were targeting. And, after being out of the loop vis-a-vis Parv's idol last week, his ego demanded he reveal his possesion of the idol this week, again to plant the Russell Seed. "And I found it." "I'M RUSSELL HANTZ!"

    His good buddy Probst is the only reason he's on the show this season. "Jeff, I need some $...can I be on even though I'm a boring, self-righteous, bitch of a man?" Colby, if you don't wanna be there, I'll take your place, I could use a chance at a mil. Grow a sack and fucking DO something. The theories on here about him laying low as a strategy are HILARIOUS. He doesn't want to be there and/or is a complete coward.
