He Was Right!

Tonight’s episode of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains was epic. Both of the challenges were great. There was the usual backstabbing and deceiving, as well as many of the castaways stereotyping themselves and becoming caricatures. Several times I found myself writing my notes in text-ese using LOL and OMG. Then finally, I was actually “laughing out loud” and shouting out “Oh my God”. At Tribal Council, the award-winning Jeff Probst had to do very little prodding or muckraking. The Villains were on fire and the verbal barbs were flying! To top it all off, Boston Rob made a bold statement, which proved to be quite prophetic.

I am going to cut right to the chase, after a heated exchange with the Hall-of-Famer Russell, Boston Rob looked him straight in the eye and said, “and it’s either you or me tonight.” And he was right and was told by Probst, “With four votes, the eighth person votes off is Boston Rob.”

The tribe had indeed spoken and Am-Bah’s husband was sent packing. But not before he avoided Coach’s embrace and told him that he was a little man. I have never been a fan of Boston Rob, but I am truly sad to see him go. He always provided for great theater.

With Boston Rob’s dismissal, we are left with twelve people competing for the $1,000,000 first prize. There are seven Villains and five Heroes remaining, made up of seven ladies and five guys.

With the merge looming in the not-so-far distance, here is how I rank the final twelve. Please keep in mind; this is how I want them to finish, not how I think they will finish.

1. Russell. I am sorry FSG Auntie Janet, but this guy is the best. He is a first ballot Hall-of-Famer. He was born to play Survivor.

2. Rupert. I can’t help but pull for the big hairy galoot. As popular as he is, I still think he is somewhat of a tortured soul.

3. Amanda. This time I must apologize to FSG Jamie. But hey, I can’t help it; she fills out her bathing suit very nicely.

4. JT. I don’t know why, maybe because it’s he says “y’all” just like James used to.

5. Colby. Previously he would have never have been this high on my list. But tonight he finally grew a set and became the Colby from season two that I enjoyed so much.

6. Parvati. I couldn’t stand her on her first two seasons on Survivor. Now I can tolerate her because she is bright enough to align herself with the Hall-of-Famer.

7. Coach. Okay, he is a pompous, self-righteous, sanctimonious ass, but he was the only one with enough sense to realize that Courtney was the Villain that should have been eliminated.

8. Jerri. I have never cared for that her much in the past, but this season we are seeing her emotional side. Maybe that has been her problem in the past, she can’t let things go.

9. Danielle. Wake me up when she does anything worth noticing. It hasn’t happened yet.

10. Candice. She is the Heroes version of Danielle. Zzzzzz……

11. and 12. Courtney and Sandra. It had to be a tie, I just can’t get the image of Skeletor playing with the Rosie Perez wannabe’s hair on the beach. It reminded me of two monkeys in the zoo picking at each other.

Like I said before, the merge is right around the corner, which will make things very interesting. If the ladies were smart the would form an alliance, otherwise Russell will run roughshod. Until next time…from the booth.
