The Villains look as though the tribe is about to implode while over at the Heroes' beach, they are hard at work with no complaining. Well, almost no complaining. Rupert gripes that they need to get rid of Stephenie while she surmises that Rupert's "nice guy" act is overkill. At least they are chipper with their insults.
At the immunity/reward challenge, the tribes play a grueling game of over-sized building blocks. Pause it: I find it somewhat difficult when trying to explain these challenges. Pairs rolling heavy, jumbo blocks down the beach then stacking them to solve a word puzzle? That sounds about right, no? The winning team gets a tarp, rope and nails.
The Heroes go in with a winning strategy: one voice. J.T. will call the shots since the same game was played during his season. (Coach and Tyson played it as well.) The Heroes build a solid lead with James practically carrying the blocks for his team. But when they get to the puzzle, the tribe implodes when Stephenie tries to call out strategy over J.T. Villains win again and James reads Steph the riot act, telling her to "shut up!" She's smart enough to keep her mouth closed, as she knows that Rupert is gunning for her as well. Rewind: While James may have voiced his opinion the wrong way, the guy had a point. Steph really wasn't following the "one voice" rule. And those who have played the game with James knows he's a passionate player who likes to win.
Back that the Heroes camp, James continues his tirade about people not following instructions. Tom is quick to defend Stephenie ... just not in earshot of the other tribemates. He and Colby huddle up to see if they can get Cirie and Candice to vote off Amanda. Candice says there will be a clear divide in the camp once the votes are revealed. When she asks whose name they should write down, Cirie replies, "As long as it's not us, it don't much matter to me." Pause it: When did Cirie and Candice become a voting bloc? J.T. realizes he's going to have to pick an alliance, as he's made deals with both Tom and James.
At Tribal Council, lines are drawn when James goes after Stephenie ... again. He reminds the Heroes that Stephenie's whole tribe was decimated during her time in Palau and calls her the teams cryptonite. Colby and Tom come to her defense, revealing their allegiance to one another. Pause it: For Tom to be such a hero, he sure has a yellow belly. If he loves Steph so much, why wait until Colby sticks his neck out first? Cirie points out that Amanda did cost her a million dollars, so there's no alliance among those who have played the game together. Pause it: Sounds like Cirie needs some antiseptic for that old wound. In a vote of 6-3, Stephenie is the second Hero voted out of the game. I honestly thought she'd make it farther than 19th place. Must've been the eyebrows.
The tribe has spoken: Obviously Amanda has not learned anything from her previous times on "Survivor". Even behind those glasses, you could still see her making those puppy dog eyes as if she's waiting at the shelter to be adopted. Stop being such a wimp, Mandy! ... I find it HI-larious that Russell is so star-struck (and jealous) over Rob. This is the same guy whose strategy was about mind control, but it looks like Rob is the one who has Russell under his spell.

- It's still thundering on "Grey's Anatomy" (ABC, 9:00). UGH!!! I know that shouldn't even be my main concern, but as someone who grew up in the south and a six-year Seattle resident, I know what real storms sound like and the sound of thunder is rarely heard in these parts. ANYWAY ... the staff of Seattle Grace has to sit through a series of lectures from their colleagues - Bailey, Callie and Chief Weber. Interesting look at how some of their former patients and peers shaped their lives. Bailey used to be a "minnow," now she's a shark. She called her overbearing then-attendant a "supercilious fool". Pause it: Sliding that one in my pocket for later use. Callie helped a man with polio walk again then celebrated by sleeping with Alex Karev. He really has slept with practically every doctor on staff. We were also given a glimpse of how the Chief became an alcoholic. Good episode full of '80s music and bad wigs.
- "Project Runway" (Lifetime, 10:00): It's about time the designers were given a task with substance. This time around they had to create an age-appropriate kids look and it's the battle of edgy meets Easter dress. Some designers loved the idea of working with kids clothes, while others *cough* Jonathan *cough* were coming apart at the seams. "That one little child made me so nervous that now I stink," Jonathan says as he sniffs his armpits. To make matters worse, Tim tells them they also have to make a companion look for the adult models. Vancouver's own Seth Aaron wins the challenge for his biker baby outfit while Jeaneane from Portland is sent home for her underdesigned, plain Jane frock.
