This week, Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains delivered the most controversial scene of all seasons (in my POV).

Back from the tribal council, Jerri was very worried that she might be voted out following Coach’s elimination. Danielle tried to reassure her in the woods, Russell gave her his word as well.

At the reward challenge, when the heroes saw that Coach had been voted out, they were completely, 100% convinced (without any solid proof) that the women were running the show. Russell gave a sad face to the heroes just to sell them on it a little more.

The reward challenge was one that we saw in Survivor: Tocantins, JT won it then and Coach got hurt. Players must position themselves two walls and place their feet on narrow wooden pegs. They would have to step on different pegs along the way, the pegs got smaller and smaller. While this time, the two tribes would have to pitted against each other in 1-on-1 matches. If one person falls or steps down, the opponent gets a point. Both tribes were asked to rank their members strongest to weakest to determine the matchups. Winner would receive a feast from Outback steakhouse, including steak, shrimp on the barbie, loaded baked potatoes and salad.

This time, the villains made a very good decision with the ranking. The matchups were:  Danielle vs. Candice, Courtney vs. Amanda, Parvati vs. JT, Jerri vs. Colby, and Sandra vs. Rupert. Colby was the first one to fall off right after they were asked to step on the smallest pegs. Rupert was the second one, his broken toes hurt him. Amanda was out third, and the heroes lost.

During their Outback feast, a clue to the hidden immunity idol fell out of Parvati’s napkin, and no one noticed that she had stuffed it into her underwear. She then excused herself to take a pee, and was joined by Danielle. She showed her the clue, and they agreed to keep the secret between them. Back to camp, they started to look for the idol, and with no difficulties they found it. (I wonder why Russell never tried to find the idol as he did in Survivor: Samoa. )

At the heroes’ camp, JT came up with the idea to give the idol to Russell at the immunity challenge if they win, and asked him to use it to vote Parvati out. The other four all agreed, JT then wrote a note that instructed Russell what to do. (Yes, they were serious.)

At the immunity challenge, teams had to maneuver a puzzle bag through a series of obstacles in the water to the beach. They then had to use the the pieces to assemble a totem pole once all five bags had been brought to the beach. It was surprised to see the villains sit out Sandra instead of Courtney.

The heroes started off with a lead and they never looked back, when they finished assembling the totem pole, Russell had not yet reached the beach.

Colby and Russell were the last to go for their tribes, and when they stood there alone, Colby told him to find JT afterwards, to get something from him. Russell continued to fool Colby by telling him that Parvati was running the show. After the heroes won the challenge, both tribes hugged each other and Russell managed to get the idol from JT without any other villains noticed. (Yes, the scene did happen. JT is now the dumbest person in the Survivor history, by giving his heart to a villain. Pro to the camera team for recording the scene without causing suspects from other people.)

Russell shared the note with Parvati back at camp, laughing hysterically at JT’s writing style and comments.

Parvati was not going home, for sure. It was down to Sandra or Courtney. Courtney tried to convince Parvati that she would be more of help to her after the merge, and Parvati kind of believed her, she talked to the other three and it seemed that they would keep Courtney.

At tribal, the issue of trusts came up again, Sandra and Danielle exchange heated words. The truce was that there was no difference between them, they were both playing the same game. Sandra was with Boston Rob, while Danielle with Russell, and it was Rob and Russell who got the call, Sandra and Danielle were just doing their bidding.

The votes came in, and it was Courtney who was voted out.

It’s interesting that the villains would keep Sandra, she will definitely flip to the heroes when the merge happens next week. The question is, will the heroes trust her? We’ll see.
