So, yeah, I got a new car today. I actually got it on Monday but it was delivered today. It's my dream car and I've been fawning over this car for five years!!! This really has nothing to do with this blog, but I really wanted to share it with the Watch Party.
"Survivor" (CBS, 8:00): Upon the Villains' return to camp after Randy's dismissal, Coach is feeling like an outsider and seething about Sandra calling him out over his work ethic. "I did noble things out here and I look ignoble," he whines to Tyson. "Why can't anyone ever say anything good about me?" Pause it: The reason is because you've already spent nine days complimenting yourself, Confucius. Tyson advises him to tone it down around camp and lay off the campfire tales if he wants to fit in. "Nobody believes your stories," he says. The next morning, B-Rob tells Coach that he's got to trust that he's not on the outside. But Rob makes it clear that he's not there to play mommy to Coach's whining ways. "Pick your head up and act like a man!"
Over at the Heroes' beach, the team looks as if it's finally bonding. The tree mail instructs them to pick a reward from a catalog. Pause it: Since they are not paying me, I won't repeat the name of the store that the supplies are from, but here's a hint: the same store also outfits the houses on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The Heroes opt for a tackle box and a kitchen set while the Villains hope to improve their shelter with a tool kit and a tarp. The game is a slip-and-slide meets basketball competition. The players lather up with oil and slide down a piece of plastic, grabbing a numbered ball along the way. They then have to sink that ball into a small basket. First ball in wins the point. For the love of all that's holy, please PAUSE IT! Did you see James's chest all buttered up and shiny and muscular? WHEW!!! He looked like a piece of dark meat and all I needed was a napkin and a bottle of hot sauce.
Coach gets the Villains on the scoreboard early and it looks like it's going to be another rout until Amanda scores one for the Heroes. Rupert downs another basket to even the game so it all comes down to Tyson and Colby to decide the winner. Poor Colby must be really tired of eating humble pie because he comes up short ... again. Villains win reward.
Back on the Villain beach, everyone is standing around raiding the loot when Russell pulls out the knife from the tool kit. As the blade comes out of the pocket, a clue to a hidden immunity idol comes out. When asked what they should do about the idol, Sandra suggests that once it's found, they should throw it in the ocean. "Whoever gets it will be marked," she threatens. Russell, who found three idols without a clue last season doesn't agree and sets out to find this one. The others agree he's an idiot and that he's sealing his own fate. The Heroes find their clue hidden in the coffee beans and Tom and Colby know they need to find that idol to stay in the game. The whole camp scatters like roaches when the lights come on, with Tom being the lucky one to find it. He tucks it away in his sock but Amanda spies him doing so. She quickly informs the rest of the Heroes that Tom has the idol.
At the immunity challenge, the castaways get to play the same game that took out black Russell last season: the blindfolded giant ball maze. It's the only game in Survivor history that was never completed - it was stopped for medical to come in and save Russ. Tom is calling the shots for the Heroes while B-Rob leads the Villains. Rob proves to be quite the leader as he guides his team through the maze. The Villains eek out another win, sending the Heroes to Tribal Council for the third time. Let the jockeying begin!
Cirie says it's either Colby or Tom's night to go, especially since Tom has the idol. J.T. wants to put Candace on the chopping block, reasoning that her scrambling makes her a liability. Amanda
joins forces with J.T. who's in an alliance with Tom who offers to give the idol away to prove his loyalty. Throw in James for good measure and you've got a 5 on 2 alliance. Amanda stupidly reports to Cirie that Tom is gunning for Candace, and Cirie - being the clever player that she is - explains how it's a bad move to keep Tom in the game. J.T. overhears the conversation and reports to Tom that Cirie is the true mastermind. And just like that, Cirie is on the chopping block next to Tom and Colby.
J.T. is in one too many alliances. He wants to keep the "good guys" in the game (whoever that is) but doing so would eventually put him in the crosshairs. "I know how everyone is voting ... except me," he says.
At Tribal Council, Probst grills Rupert after he says his vote will allow him to remain true to his word, even if it's a bonehead move. James admits he doesn't care who goes as long as he wins. He says that the social aspect of a game is a distraction and people should forget about that part until it's time to merge. After the vote, Tom plays his idol and Cirie gets the ax in the first blindside of the season. I thought she would've made it farther than this, but Tom totally outplayed her at a strategy she invented in this game: listening.
CHANNEL SURFING
Because of the timing of how the show is filmed, I know that 10 designers from "Project Runway" (Lifetime, 10:00) showed at Bryant Park. So the question is do the contestants really need to aspire to win, or should their focus be on staying long enough to get to the top five, six or seven? Who cares about the money if you still get to show your collection at one of the biggest fashion shows in the country? Whatever ... in this episode, the designers had to create a look with materials found in a hardware store. They didn't even let them shop at Mood to get any fabric. Jay makes a stunning "leather" outfit out of garbage bags and duct tape and gets his second win. Emilio, who normally makes beautiful garments was uninspired by the challenge and sends a half-naked model down the runway. It was obvious he should've been the one to go. Instead, the judges dump Jesse for his metal cloud attached to an armor breastplate. Auf wiedersehen!
On "The Office" (NBC, 9:00), after five long seasons Jim and Pam became the proud parents of a baby girl named Cecilia Marie Halpert, 7 lbs., 2 oz, 18 in. Mother and daughter are doing fine.
