"Survivor" (CBS, 8:00): Russell, Russell, Russell! You sly devil, you! I actually found myself rooting for the guy. Anyone who goes out and finds yet another immunity idol without a clue should pass go and head straight to the final two. After returning from Tribal Council, Russell realizes he's in big trouble. He knows his only hope is to find another idol, but Erik took his back to the ponderosa. At least I thought that was the one he was referring to. Rewind: If I remember the rules correctly, once a hidden immunity idol is flushed out it can be put back into play. Kudos to Russell for reading his rule book. At the reward challenge, Aiga is divided into two teams and the winners are treated to a waterslide and a feast. The purple team (Monica, Dave, John, Shambo and Kelly) wins reward and they later find it comes with a clue to another hidden idol. They all agree to share the information with only Galu members, but by this time, Russell had already found it hidden under a bridge. He confides in Shambo that he's found the idol and she agrees to keep her mouth shut if they can vote off Laura. Cut to Laura smoking her competition at the immunity challenge. Time for plan B.
Russell tell his Foa Squared friends that he has the idol and they should allow Galu to write his name down. Foa will vote for Kelly, he'll play the idol and once the votes cast against him are void, she will go home in a blindside. I held my breath for the entire vote count! It is very rare on this show that someone comes up with a plan and manages to carry it out in such a masterful way. I hated Russ in the beginning but he's definitely won my respect for finding countless ways to outwit his competitors. The idol goes back into play and I can only hope Probst can find a crewmember who's better at hiding that thing. If Russ finds it for a third time I'll know the show is rigged.
Pause it: Even though she's on my fantasy team, Monica has been pretty useless the whole game. The one time she comes up with a good idea (to have a backup plan in case Russell has the idol) her Galu tribe tells her it's impossible that he'd have it. Smooth move guys. Smooth.
"CSI: Trilogy" (CBS, 9:00): When I first heard that the CSI franchise would be doing a crossover event I was really excited. It's been a long time coming and I was excited to see what kind of case would tie the three cities together. MAJOR LETDOWN! Wamp, wamp. Since we're talking about a trilogy, here are the three things I learned from this crossover:
- Horatio Caine still sucks. He has always sucked and will continue to suck until they shut down the Miami lab. "CSI: Miami" is the weakest of the franchise, but I continue to watch out of brand loyalty.
- The New York team runs a lot! They are constantly chasing down perps or running after something. They may want to invest in some Segways.
- Even with it's revolving door of characters, the original "CSI:" is, and always will be, the best of the three. Vegas has the coolest cast, the best cases and the sexiest CSIs. I'm blowing kisses at you, Nick Stokes.
On "Grey's Anatomy" (ABC, 9:00), Christina is marking her territory in a pissing contest with the new cardio attending. She's focused on beating the new doctor in the operating room, but she'd better start paying attention because the new "cardio god" wants her man, Dr. Owen. Chief Webber fell off the wagon and decided the best thing is for him to step away from doing surgeries. I wonder if Meredith is going to use Webber's drinking problem as a way to make Derek the new chief.
From what I could see tonight, Meana Irina is going to win "Project Runway" (Lifetime, 10:00) even though her entire line is black, gray and tan. And what is up with all the oversized sweaters and coats they were all designing? You win one challenge with a luxe sweater now everyone is making them. Get inspired ladies!
