Survivor: Redemption Island Discussion (Spoilers)

[Garak]

I thought Russell was crying on the off chance there'd be one more shot for him to return in to the game, so he could look more like a sympathetic character. Glad they didn't do that though. Loved how Russell ended up going out with his guns blazing.

Hair Sweater is SUCH an idiot, let his ego get in the way of playing the game well and opened up his mouth about the immunity idol. He deserves to have the idol flushed ASAP.

Boston Rob is brilliant, loved how he faked the consitpation and got everyone on the beach, only to run back and look for the idol. Great play, great find.

Red Tighty Whiteys/Secret Agent Man, you're next to go buddy. Looks to me like Rob's tribe won't be winning many immunity challenges - giving up that info was a terrible idea.

I think the purple tribe is stronger without Russell. Even with those potty mouthed hotties.

And then Special Agent Banana Hammock blows it.

I think he was sincere. Remember he's been at this three times in four seasons. That's got to wear anybody down physically and emotionally, even a bastard like Russell.

Just when I thought Ralph was smarter than he was letting on, he goes and does something stupid like revealing that he has the immunity idol. And not just to his own tribemates, but to the opposing team as well. The gal that was with him tried to stop him, but it doesn't take a secret agent to see that he does have it when he was reaching for it when she stopped him. What an idiotic move on Ralph's part.

 

[Skywalker]

Well, Ralph isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. I think he made a mistake by even telling the rest of his tribe that he had it; nobody would have suspected him.

Boston Rob was frakking brilliant this week, though. Coming up with a "beach day" and making up a game for everyone to play, then faking constipation and running off to find the idol. He knew that with Kristina at the duel, nobody else would suspect him of looking for the idol. Amazing.

I hope he manages to win this time, but if his team doesn't start winning, that's going to make it harder for him when the tribes merge.

 

[Snaploud]

No kidding...Though, it would be hilarious if Rob were able to use Russell's two allies to take the majority post-merge.

 

[Yoda]

I really don't like anyone left. Rob is good at the game, but I don't really like him that much. Most of the rest are annoying. Maybe I'll cheer for that bratty brunette from Russell's harem, I got a kick out of her "that's not strategy, that's stupid" speech last week at least.

Special fuck you points to Mr Iraq Veteran. That guy is totally obnoxious.

 

[Trekker4747]

Special Agent Banana Hammock all the way!

I laughed when Rob called them "Pink Tighty Whities."

 

[Stardate]

I am sorry but Ralph pawned Russell. I felt Ralph did the right move telling people that he was aligned with about the idol. It showed he trusted them. However it was defiantly mistake on Ralph part to revealed that he had the idol during the challenge. He was mad at Russell for talking crap about people he was friends with. So he lost his cool and he wanted to show Russell that he isent the only one that can finds idol without a clue.

Anyway Kristina was voted out and goes to Redemption Island to complete against Matt. Matt is on a role so Kristina has to dig deep to beat him. I was kind of rooting for Kristina. She didnt fall into Rob spell but this most likely cost her the game as Rob saw her as threat that needed to be eliminated.
She really didnt have chance with Rob gunning for her from the start..
Boston Rob had a good episode. He finds the idol and convinces his alliance to keep Philip over Kristina. But he is on a losing tribe that could cost him when the merge happens.
Pretty good season and i am loving the Redemption twist.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Haha, that was funny. I was a little bummed about the idiots on Russell's tribe getting their way (although I think throwing challenges is a legitimate tactic in certain situations, and I think kicking out Russell was the right move), but goading that dumb douche into revealing his idol was an awesome goodbye. I'm sick of Rob too though, please someone: grow a brain and throw him out already.

 

[Skywalker]

I don't think Rob's going anywhere until the merge, at the earliest, unless someone over in Ometepe finally wakes up and realizes they're supposed to be trying to win this game. Right now, Rob's pretty much got that entire tribe wrapped around his finger, now that Kristina is gone. Not that I mind; I like Rob, though I appear to be in the minority.

 

[Greg Cox]

Rob's in an odd spot. On one hand, he has an idol and is the undisputed leader of his tribe. On the other hand, he's stuck on a tribe that apparently can't win a challenge unless the other tribe throws it.

Which means he could be in trouble at the merge. He's the king of a shrinking tribe of losers . . . .

 

[Skywalker]

Agreed. I still think Rob overreacted by getting rid of Matt the way he did; he rationalized it as him not wanting Matt/Andrea to turn into a power couple or anything like that, but I still think he was just pissed at Matt for going over and shaking Zapatera's hands after that challenge.

 

[Greg Cox]

Hell has frozen over. Phillip went an entire episode without mentioning that he was once a federal agent . . . .

 

[Nowhere Man]

Just watched last nights episode 3/16/11. I got to say, on Rob's tribe I'm now rooting for Phillip so get an allience going. Those two girls are useless and Rob is just a dick. He's no worse than Russel, just a little more likeable. No one on that tribe seems to have a brain in thier head.

As far as the other tribe goes, Ralph is completely retarded. I feel he messed up the challenge more so than Stephanie. Christa is right though, none of them are playing the game. They just keep roling along with no real strategy other than listen to Steve and Ralph. They just sit around singing coobyah. Stephanie needs to redeem herself somehow, I think she could be a good player. Dumbass Dave the lawer/ self titled puzzle man needs to go, he's a douche and useless IMO.

Matt is on a roll, I kinda hope he comes back just so he can build an allience so he can wipe that smirk off of Rob's lying face. I wanna see Matt get Rob voted out and get some payback.

 

[Skywalker]

I loved how Rob switched the clues. He's going to end up with two immunity idols. And unlike James, I don't think he's going to let himself get eliminated with both still in his pocket.

Nah. The clue was for the idol he had already found. He was mostly just having fun messing with his tribe-mate.

 

[Skywalker]

Ohh, my bad. I missed when the idols were introduced into the game, so I'm not 100% familiar with how they work. Is there only supposed to be one in play per tribe at a time?

Supposedly, yes. And when one is used, IIRC, it goes back into circulation. B.Rob just placed the first cryptic clue he got out there pretty much just to dick with the guy.

Pink Panties guy has to go. That or his underwear (replaced with something more dignified) and those shitty old-man shoes of his.

Yep!

But Rob had to pretend that the clue was a big deal or Grant would have realized that he had already found the idol . . . .
