Survivor Samoa - Russell S. evacuated

The Samoan nature continues to rain, and everyone is tired of their 80 hours of rain. Russell S. is seen working, while the other Galu tribe members were huddles together, shivering. At Foa-Foa, it was the same case, almost, as Russell H. was working, while not even minding the horrible rain, and the others remain huddled together, freezing. Finally, the rain stopped, and the Galu tribe members are amazed they wake up to see a rainbow. Spirits could be up, and they were given their next challenge.

During the challenge, the Survivors had to strap someone is a ball, and have two people blindfolded carry the ball person to a table maze, with the ball person guiding the blindfolded them through everything , even the table maze. This is where Foa-Foa was to take the lead, and this is where Russell S. passed out, due to dehydration. Jeff Probst stopped the challenge to have the medical team check Russell S. out. Russell S was in a bad condition, and Jeff Probst says to the other survivors the challenge is cancelled, which this is the first time a challenge is discontinued inn the middle of it. Nobody won reward, and everyone else had to go back to camp. As planned, however, both tribes were to report to tribal council where two people, one from each tribe, were to be voted off.

Russell S., most likely unaware of what just happened and wanting to say, even though in slurring, he’s still able to stay in the game. Jeff Probst tells him he blacked out twice and was in no condition to be on Survivor. Jeff Probst commented it’s the scariest thing he’s ever seen in Survivor. Russell S. was removed from the game, and crying, Russell S. was very disappointed. Back at Foa-Foa, the survivors prepare to boot one of their own. Liz and Natalie are almost sure they have no chance of splitting up the guys and voting one of them off, so they agree to vote for each other. Russell H., however, is there telling Natalie that Liz is to be voted off.

Back at Galu, the guys Erik, Dave, John, and Brett all band together and agree to vote for Monica, and they agreed to tell Shambo their plan, but not include Shambo in their alliance. Meanwhile, Monica tells Laura she wants to se Shambo, especially since Shambo got her last time. Then, the survivors reported to tribal council together (OK, you know something’s up) and Jeff talks to both tribal in the same old tribal council talk-show type routine seen every tribal council. Jeff Probst then is to tell the survivors the double boot has been canceled. The pizza was rewarded to them, but I know this through source, they really didn’t air that part.

Yes, it was sad to see Russell, a tribe leader with no signs of losing and almost had final five written all over him, leave the game like this, but you’re not really suffering if you take care of yourself, have the right amount of water, food, etc. He should’ve taken better care of himself, Survivor may not be Paradise Hotel, but it’s not a impossibly too rigorous and dangerous either. I think the idea of not going on with the double boot pretty much confirms that there will be a later double boot and five people will make it to finale night.

I’m almost frustrated seeing Liz and Natalie “accept” the fact they “must” or whatever vote for themselves when this is Survivor, you “have” the right to do things to avoid getting your torch snuffed. The way things are going, I don’t see Liz trying to keep herself around, because we didn’t see it this time. Also, I’m not liking the all-guys alliance, and adding Shambo in it while not being certain yourself is not too bright of a move either. I think John and Bret are not really caring about this all guy alliance, they really didn’t seem like they cared or wanted to really be with that plan. Erik is pretty much arrogant, and really cocky towards the other team, so I see him being not much but Foa-Foa’s top contender on their hit-list, if Foa-Foa remains as strong as they say they are and win these next few challenges.

Most of them are real hard to like, whether their invisible, or just not likable.
