Back from tribal council, Russell (the devil) admits that he had no choice but to vote Ben. Jaison, in his individual interview, saying coming on Survivor is the worst decision of his life. (Then why didn’t he just volunteer to be voted out?)

At Galu, Erik tries to get info from Shambo about the immunity idol. He believes that if one is hidden at Foa Foa, another one should be hidden at their own camp. Then John shows up from nowhere, and Shambo easily gives up what she learned from the note she was given. That’s a really dumb move, she has no alliance in this tribe, Erik or John could easily turn against her at any time.

Both tribes get their tree mails. Each leader much choose two people to go on a quest, which might get them some rewards. Mick, leader of Foa Foa, takes Russell (the devil) and Natalie with him. While Russell (the good) of Galu takes Shambo and Dave. Six people arrive at the beach for the quest, but Jeff doesn’t show up. There is a cage with chickens in it and a pirate chest, but no judge to give them directions. Then, after a few minutes, Russell (the devil) heads towards the chest and everyone react after him. The girls goes for the chichen, Shambo catches two while Natalie only gets one. They then find purple and yellow balls and instrucions for a challenge in the chest.

Still, there is no Jeff. And he doesn’t show up through the whole challenge.

The reward challenge is a bocce game. Each tribe’s members throw their balls towrds a pole, and the one that gets nearest to the pole wins. Russell (the devil) seems to be quite good at this, and it looks like Foa Foa is finally back on track. However Dave destroys their morale again, the last ball he throws lands right next to the pole. Galu wins again, and Foa Foa go back to camp empty handed.

While the others are out for the challenge, Erik tries to distract other people at camp with some jobs, and starts to look for the idol when they are away or sleeping. John finds out what he is doing, but he pretends to sleep and keeps silence later on.

Shambo gets screwed. What’s worse, she let a chicken get out of the cage by accidence and the whole tribe fails to catch it back. Just a reminder, she lost some of the fishing gear in episode 2. More tribe members are targeting her now. She better start praying.

We are happy to see Jeff again at the immunity challenge. Galu sits out Shambo, Laura, Dave, and Russell. In this challenge, each tribe must first race through a net course with blocks in hand, and stack them up when they reach a mat. Then they will race through a rope bridge and untie two bags of blocks and stack them up again.

Galu takes an early lead, again. But Foa Foa just falls behind for a few seconds. Then at the rope bridge, Monica struggle very hard, giving Foa Foa quite a lot time to catch up. And no one could imagine how agile Russell (the devil) moves across that rope bridge. It was fun to watch!

It’s neck and neck at the second mat. Jaison’s height ends up being quite an advantage for Foa Foa. Heidi just stands on him and stacks up the blocks with no difficulties. Foa Foa finaly wins their first challenge.

Monica’s miserable performance in the challenge makes her a target for elemination. Russell makes it clear that he will vote her out. But Yasmin’s laziness at camp seems to make her a bigger target. Russell is pissed off when he heard Yasmin’s on the chopping block. Good news is, Shambo’s safe.

Right before the tribal council, it seems that the tribe dares not turn against Russell.

Yasmin and Monica are the focus of tribal council. First Yasmin is called out for doing nothing at camp, and she fights back, saying that she has done quite well in the challenges. She then turns to Monica, while Monica defends that she did a good job in the challenge.

Then it’s voting time, and surprisingly Yasmin gets all the votes except Shambo’s. Wonder why Russell changed his mind in the last minute.

It seems that no one in Foa Foa knows how to make fire with a flint, except Ben. Even Ben tries to give them some tips, no one has successfully made the fire. Wow, you came to this game without any preparations? Anyone knows that someone (forgot the name…) from some previous season lost 1 million dollars because he did not know how to make fire? Amazing!

Meanwhile, Russell (the devil) tells Ben that Ashley was gunning him, because he wants to keep him around for some time.

Both tribes get their tree-mail and receive some dry clothes, bathing suits. We know there would be a water challenge.

Two members from each tribe will race out to fetch a crate, facing a member from the opposite tribe on their way, who will try to stop them. After they have all four crates, they need to stack them and make sure that there are no repeating colors on any side. Winner gets immunity and rewards. (Wonder why they only do one challenge per episode…) Russell (the devil) sits out, together with Shambo, Yasmin, Brett and Erik.

Foa Foa made another bad decision on assigning jobs to their members, Ashley and Ben both fail to stop Galu from getting their crates, giving them big advantage on stacking the crates. Although Foa Foa work very hard to catch up, they miss one side, and Galu wins again.

Russell (the good) has to face a tough decision, to have more camp items or to take comfort items. Within seconds, he picks comfort, because he thinks he needs to keep the women happy to make the whole tribe happy. But the men are not happy with his decision.

Russell (the good) also sends Shambo to Foa Foa to observer them. She gets along with Foa Foa quite well than she is with Galu, everyone seems to like her. Then she open the note and learn about the second clue of the hidden immunity idol and start searching for it. If the idol was not found by Russell (the devil), she might have found it.

Russell (the devil) tries to get people to vote Ashley out, he shows the idol to Mick to gain his trust. (Another dumb move, I think). However, Jaison is completely against it, calling it ridiculous. And both Russell (the devil) and Mick seem fail to convince him.

At the tribal council, Jaison says he would trade Shambo for Ben. Ben bluntly says he will vote Ashley because she is the weakest link. Then Ben and Jaison start to go at it. Jaison makes the entire thing about race. But to be fair, Ben did make some offensive comments, he never made any comments about Jaison or anyone else being black.

After some tense argument, time to vote. Everyone vote for Ben, he’s sent home.

Next episode, we’ll see how Foa Foa struggles without fire.

Betsy and Russell (the Evil) had a conversation the morning after the first tribal council. Russell (the Evil) found out she could cause problem for him, and decided to target her. He grouped with Jaison and openly admitted that he was looking for the immunity idol!

( Now, although there was no formal announcement of the existence of the idol, anyone that had joined this program should have known that the IDOL(S) exist. The fact that Russell (the Evil) was the only one looking for it made me wondered, had all the 20 contestants ever watched or heard about Survivor? And even when he openly admitted he was looking for it, NO ONE care about it. Wow, these guys deserves to be doomed. )

Russell (the Evil) had not much trouble in finding the idol, and he shared the secret with Jaison, which I think was a dumb move.

This episode still had only one challenge, for reward and immunity. The reward was fishing gear. Both tribes sent three team mates into the field, and grabbed a ball and threw it to another three members who were on the platform, then the three would shoot it into the opposite side’s basket. First tribe to get three wins.

Things were getting ugly in the field, slamming, hitting, cheat shots. Jeff had to call for a time-out and warned both tribes that he would expel anyone who make another cheat shot. However, Ben didn’t listen, he kicked Russell ( the good) very hard, and became the first one in Survivor history that were sent out in a competition. But he seemed to care for nothing, calling himself an “outlaw”. Foa Foa lost the challenge, mostly because of Ben’s fault, and partly because Mike’s not that physically strong.

Galu received a note along with the reward, they might send a member to Foa Foa to observe them until it’s time to vote in the tribal council. Russell (the good) sent Yasmin.

Then medical team was called in to check up Mike, who had suffered from some critical health issue after the challenge. The team felt very concern about Mike’s health, as his blood pressure was dropping, and they decided to pull him out of the game. Though I didn’t think Mike could stay long in this game, but going out of this game like this sucked.

Back at Foa Foa’s camp, Yasmin went at Ben, saying his tackling with her was disrespectful to women. Then both of them just acted like six-year old children. Later that night, Ben got up and making noises that everyone could not sleep well. His uncertain attitude made him a target and Foa Foa discussed getting rid of him.

At the tribal council, everyone agreed that they were on the same boat, though Jeff wasn’t sure. When asked about being the first one to be kicked out of the competition, Ben said the rules were sissy. What an attitude! However, despite all his uncertain and childish moves, Russell (the Evil)’s plan still worked out. Betsy got voted out. And she got all the votes. I could understand that Russell (the Evil) pulled most of them to vote with him, but everyone voting against Betsy, wow. I just can’t wait to see what Russell (the Evil) could pull out next.

Survivor has returned for the 19th season, with the biggest villain. This season, we are brought to the beautiful South Pacific island, Samoa.

The 20 contestants were divided into two tribes (Galu and Foa Foa) before they arrived in the island, but they got to elect for their leaders right away. Galu picked Russell (the good), while Foa Foa went for Mick. (Being a leader at this stage is more like a curse, good luck to them in the future. )

Mick made great choices in their first challenge, he chose Jaison as the swimmer, Russell (the Evil) as the strongest person, Marissa the agile person, Liz the smartest. While Russell (the good) made some bad choices by picking John, Erik, Yasmin and Shambo.

The swimmer swam out to retrieve a key. The strong person then unlock a bundle of heavy locks and set them up as steps. The agile person then climb the steps and make their way across a set of balance beams. Lastly the smart person unlocked a set of puzzle pieces and put them together. Foa Foa won the first challenge with a flint.

After they arrived at the camp, everybody started to work, while Russell (the Evil) began carrying out his plan of bringing chaos to this tribe. He formed separate and secret alliances with what he thought were dumb girls, and with Betsy, who he believed smarter than other girls. However, being a police officer, Betsy sensed Russell (the Evil) was lying.

At Galu, Shambo was having some trouble getting along with the youths who are in their 20s.

That night, Russell (the Evil) lied about his “miserable” story in Hurricane Katrina. Most people seemed to believe him that he almost laughed out. Then, we saw him emptying everyone’s water and burning someone’s sock in the fire. Yes, now you know why I called him the Evil.

For the immunity challenge, six members of each tribe raced across three A-frames, carrying ropes. Then they used the ropes to pull a heavy crate, and the other four dismantled the crate and use the puzzle pieces (again) to form a saying. Galu was first to get the crate, and though they had some trouble on the puzzle at first, they managed to put it together faster. Galu won immunity.

Back at camp, Mike tried to turned the attention onto the young girls, because he’s the oldest one and he literally did nothing in the first two challenges. He targeted Ashley as the weakest and some people agreed with him. While Marissa made a dumb move by telling Russell (the Evil) that she was wary of him, making her the target. Russell (the Evil) started to talk everyone into voting her out. He believed he’s running the game, though Betsy began to tell other girls about her suspicion. (However, people tend to believe no one at this very stage of the game.)

At tribal council, Mike tried to target Ashley. Betsy, when asked, chose Ashley as the weakest link. And Russell (the Evil) called out Marissa. As Jeff read the votes, Russell’s (the Evil) plan worked out. Marissa was the first person voted out.

P.S. They’ve upped the contestants to 20, so we are going to see some massive cut in the future episodes. And we should be seeing Russell (the Evil) for some time, as he’s been advertised as the biggest villain on the show.
