Recap: Survivor: The Old Hat Trick

Survivor

By B-Side | Friday, December 15, 2006 | 2:23 pm | 22 Comments

survivor12-14-06Well, we’re in the final stretch of Survivor. The season that started of controversially, turned bland, and then suddenly became totally riveting is about to say farewell. I can’t say that last night’s episode was entirely unpredictable, but in a rare turn of events, I really didn’t care. I’ve grown to love the four protagonists so much that I don’t care how boring they’ve technically made the game with their dominance. Nevertheless, with their numbers down to two, the old members of Raro had to pull out all the stops this episode, but could Parvati and Adam prove they had the scheming skillz to stay in this competition? Well… um… let’s just get to the recap…This week’s show began with a rather weak “Cold Open,” as they say. We found Adam and Parvati enjoying camp life without tribal nuisance Jonathan around, but as fun as it was to not have an old guy with a feathered cap yelling at them all day, the reality dawned on them that they now had to crack the Aitu Four, a task that probably would have been less daunting had they had another number… like Jonathan.

After the opening credits, we jumped right into the reward challenge madness. Some tree mail arrived alluding to a very messy, very muddy event. Immediately, Yul feared the worst: NAKED MUD WRESTLING! Luckily, Yul homoerotic fears were unsubstantiated. The gang showed up at the challenge where they found a giant octagon filled will all sorts of mud. Jeff Probst then honed his inner Xtina and announced, “Time to get dirty!” Within seconds, he became a gay icon.

Anyway, contrary to Yul’s fears, the goal of this challenge was not to strip down and grapple with one another in muddy, orgiastic glee. No, instead everyone had to run into the mud pit, cover their body with as much mud as possible, and then race over to their designated buckets, into which they’d scrape off as much mud as possible (and no, players were not allowed to carry any mud in their hands). The person with the most mud at the end of ten minutes would win reward. And that was it. Another shockingly straightforward challenge, and not only that, it seemed like it had been pulled straight from the playbook of The Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Nevertheless, the winner would receive a luxury spa reward: massage, pool, laundry, food, etc. etc. Shockingly, there was no vehicular prize. That’s right. Bucking Survivor tradition, we did not have a car giveaway on the penultimate episode. Maybe there’ll be one on Sunday’s finale. We must see if the curse of the car continues!

Just a little more housekeeping: the winner of this challenge would send someone to Exile, and the people with the second and third heaviest buckets would join in the reward. I know you were dying to hear those facets of the competition.

Well, Jeff flapped his arms in that famously Probst way, and within seconds, everyone was in the mud. They were covered from top to bottom and all were using different techniques to fill up their buckets. Yul used his back, Becky used her hair, Parvati used her breasts, and Adam used his legs. But what about Ozzy? Well, he used pretty much everything, and in typical form, he quickly took a major lead in the competition, especially after he balanced a crazy amount of mud on his neck. Nevertheless, we sat through several minutes of watching the castaways scrape and pull mud into a bucket, and on more than one occasion, this scene definitely looked like a giant shit-fest, especially when the cameras zoomed in on the buckets and drops of mud plunked in.

At one point Jeff chimed in and said, “Like watching bad performance art.” Of course, the implication there was that there’s such a thing as good performance art, of which I’m still not convinced. Anyway, the ten minutes finally came to an end, and it was time to weigh the buckets. Jeff chose Ozzy’s first, on account of it being the only bucket completely full of mud. It registered a mighty forty five lbs. on the scale, thus putting Ozzy into first place.

Parvati was next, and she weighed in with a distant twenty four pounds, but for now that was good enough for second place. Adam earned a halthy twenty-two pounds for third place, and Sundra and Becky were nonentities with their twenty-pound hauls. Last was Yul, who by half a pound edged out Adam, earning himself a spot in the top three. This sucked royally for Adam as he then fell victim to the cardinal rule of the jungle: “If Thou Looketh Like Aaron Eckhart, Thou Must Goeth To Exileth Island.” You never heard of that one?

Anyway, after the commercial break, we returned to camp with Sundra and Becky, who decided they’d rather sit around with caked on mud than actually take a dip in the ocean and wash the gunk off. Turns out the reward challenge had brought something to Becky’s attention: Ozzy’s kind of a good competitor. I’d like to now pause and welcome Becky to TWENTY EIGHT DAYS AGO. Yes, the realization had finally dawned on her that maybe they should get rid of Ozzy as soon as they could. She noted that “Ozzy just hates to lose.” You know, except when he threw an entire competition to vote off sad sack Billy. But aside from that, yeah, he hates to lose.

Becky apparently still fears the wrath of The Predator.

Meanwhile, high above the Cook Island, the three winners of the challenge were getting mud all over a lovely private plane. Luckily, there were layers of protective plastic on the seats, thus reducing the amount of Parvati-to-Cushion mud transfers, but I couldn’t imagine the flight crew was terribly happy about their dirty passengers.

survivor12-14-06ozzymud

The group eventually wound up at Rumours Spa where they enjoyed a luxurious shower (not together) followed by massages. As her stress and aches were rubbed out of her, Parvati marveled that she’d endured thirty-four days of dirtiness, but hey, it was no big deal. She could do five more. Of course, her dubious assumption was that she’d be lasting five more days. Oh Parv Parv and your longevity assumptions!

We then headed over to Exile Island where Adam was lying out on the sand like a beached starfish. Needless to say, his quest to soar like an eagle had taken another regrettable wrong turn. A closer look revealed all sorts of bugs crawling on his foot, which had me wondering if maybe he had simply died. Nope. He was just sleeping. I did have to admit that I felt slightly bad for him. He had seemed like such a whiny asshole all season, but the past episode or two, he’s kind of transformed into just a big ol’ lug of resignation. I still reserve the right to hate on him again, but for now, I have uncharacteristic empathy. Maybe it’s the holiday season.

After watching Adam gorge himself on all sorts of raw delicacies of the deep, we then went back to the spa where Parvati was working her flirtatious charm on Ozzy. It all seemed like misdirection, but then again, Ozzy has always been something of a lone ranger. I wouldn’t be totally shocked if he flipped. Of course, having Yul right there severely undermined any good scheming Parvati could muster, and besides, who could think strategy when the spa was so romantic. Yes, that’s right. Because of a random blackout, the spa employees had to light scented candles all throughout the Rumours facility, thus making the evening much more intimate than previously expected.

Later on, after some native dancers had come and gone, the group got drunk and wound up naked in the hot tub, but alas, the scene wasn’t nearly as scandalous as it would seem. I mean, seriously. Is Yul even capable of scandal? “I propose that we come to a mutual understanding whereas I will aspire to rub or caress your bosoms while you provide a specific sensation of arousal in my pelvic region, to the extent that tugging and/or pulling would inspire a great deal of pleasure.”

We then went to commercial and saw that dumb ad for Lincoln featuring a newly skinny Rocco DiSpirito, or as I like to call him, ZACH BRAFF. After the break, we found the castaways returning to camp where Becky and Sundra had finally washed the mud off their bodies. Yul immediately sensed that there was tension in the air, and so he and Becky walked off to discuss what was up. The Beckster informed Yul that she had made a discovery: Ozzy likes to win! She floated the idea of getting rid of him before the Raros, which would be a bold move, but Yul didn’t seem to protest. He revealed that Parvati had been extremely flirty with Ozzy at the reward, which then brought up the question as to whether they should get rid of Parvati before Ozzy. After all, she did seem to be more influential. It would all have to depend on the outcome of the Immunity Challenge, they decided. And speaking of the Immunity Challenge…

The gang all headed out to Jeff who was waiting for them by the beach. Already, we knew this was a challenge Ozzy would win, simply by virtue of mentioning the word, “Beach.” Basically, the way this challenge worked was that each player had four bundles of puzzle pieces. One at a time, they’d have to take each bundle across a balance beam and to a mat (Balance? Yup, another Ozzy advantage). Once all four bundles had been collected, players would then untie them and use the pieces to create a table maze — like the old game Labyrinth (not to be confused with the Jennifer Connelly/David Bowie opus of the same name). The first person to sink two balls in the corner pockets of the maze would win immunity.

Well, just as expected, Ozzy took a quick lead. Part of that was thanks to his revolutionary idea of removing his sneakers before getting onto the extremely narrow beams. Soon, Ozzy had his first bundle over on his mat. By the time Yul and Becky had their first bundles over, Ozzy was already delivering his second. The combination of people falling and delivering bundles continued for several minutes. Ozzy, of course, dominated, while Adam and Sundra weren’t able to get across even once. Becky, meanwhile, took a fall so vicious that it made Sundra’s spill last week look like a minor stumble on a giant mattress.

survivor12-14-06beckyfall

Eventually, Ozzy managed to get all four of his bundles over, which meant he could start compiling his table maze. Yul soon delivered his four bundles too, but at that point, Ozzy still had an insane lead. As the two men battled to build their puzzles, Adam continued to struggle, yelling at himself, “C’mon!!!” This gave Jeff the perfect opportunity to do some classic needling: “Two days on Exile taking their toll!” C’mon, Adam. Don’t listen to Jeff. Soar! Soar! Soar like the eagle you know you are!!!

Well, Ozzy completed his maze first and began adjusting the slant of the course to guide a ball to the proper hole. Yul, meanwhile, had surprisingly messed up his puzzle, putting him at a severe disadvantage. For a moment, it looked like Yul might stage a comeback, but Ozzy proved too adept at the Labyrinth-ing. He easily won immunity again, thus destroying Becky’s plan to send him home. Imagine that. I guess it’s time to pick between Adam and Poverty. Kind of a snoozefest, but again, like I said before, I love the Aitu Four so much that I’m happy to see them pluck off the Raros.

And by the way, Adam and Parvati have Jonathan and Candice to thank for creating such fierce loyalty amongst Yul, Becky, Sundra, and Ozzy. Had those two not jumped ship, I’m not sure the tribe would have been as strong and cohesive as a unit, and thus impenetrable to scheming.

Well, when the tribe returned to the beach, Adam approached Yul and pretty much asked to be spared. “If you want to stay, you’ll stay,” Yul said casually, as if this was all a matter of who’s bringing quiche to the pot luck dinner. If you want quiche lorraine, then no problem. We’ll have quiche lorraine!

Adam then told us how if he made it into the final five, “my best shot is to win challenges.” Yes, because that strategy has worked so well all season.

Later, Parvati cornered Yul and pled her case for staying. He told her that Adam’s the bigger threat, which was amusing because not long ago, he was saying the same thing about Parv Parv. Oh Yulie. Playing both Raros. So cruel, and yet, you make it seem so friendly.

Meanwhile, Adam and Parvati announced to Ozzy that they’d be voting for Sundra, and when they asked him who he’d be voting for, he said he didn’t really know. Riiight. Adam then pressured him to vote out Sundra too, but sensing that the Raro kids might be up to no good, Yul suddenly crashed the party and amusingly scolded Adam. “I knowo you gotta play the game, but don’t try to get Ozzy to your side,” he said. Amazingly, Adam did a few “Huminah huminahs” — as if he’d been caught with his hand in the cookie jar (I guess he was afraid the gang might vote him out as a result of this). Either way, it wasn’t really Yul’s place to command Adam to stop scheming, but it was mildly awesome that it worked. Oh YUL! By appealing to his generous side, you’ve inspired a sufficient level of loyalty from Adam, to the extent that it will keep detractors at bay throughout the rest of this social process! See, I can speak like Yul too!

Just before heading up to Tribal Council, Yul pondered the consequences of wearing Jonathan’s hat to tribal council. Personally, I wouldn’t touch that thing, but Yul wanted to bring it with him. He had only one fear: “You think Jeff is going to yell at me?” YES. He’ll yell at anyone for anything, and besides, it’s well documented that Jeff Probst hates straw hats with feathers! You might as well be slaughtering a baby in front of him!

According to Yul, returning the hat to Jonathan was nothing more than fulfilling a favor. In his mind, if he had left something that had strong sentimental value to him at camp and then was voted out, he’d like it if someone brought it back for him. He’s right, and this is why I love Yul — because he’s so kind. That being said, he’s a total kiss up. Which is not unlike me.

Well, at Tribal Council, Yul showed up with Jonathan’s hat after all and quickly placed it on the jury bench before the jury had even come in. It seemed like a rather casual gesture — not ostentatious at all, and especially not as obnoxious as if he had handed it to Jonathan during the actual Tribal Council. However, one shot of Jeff revealed that our prickly host was simmering with anger. Sure enough, when the jury entered, Jeff totally outed Yul, happily revealing that he had been the one to return the hat.

“Quite possibly the boldest move I’ve seen yet from someone trying to win a vote, should they make it to the final Tribal Council,” Jeff lashed out passive aggressively.

Yul defended himself by saying he simply wanted to bring the hat back as requested, but Jeff wasn’t about to take that. “Just want to make sure I have the facts right,” Probst started. And you always know it’s gonna be good when Jeff says he wants to make sure he has all the facts. Nevertheless, he continued, “This is the same guy who was part of your little coalition that you blindsided, and now you bring him the hat back just ’cause it has sentimental value????” I half expected Jeff to pull out a shotgun and fire it in Yul’s face, adding, “That’s what I think about your little hat stunt.”

With Jeff absolutely enraged (at least, in his Probst sort of way), Yul confessed that yes, returning the hat served both the purpose of fulfilling an obligation and appeasing any resentment Jonathan might be feeling. And with that, there really wasn’t anything else to say, and so Hatgate 2006 came to an end. Memo to self: never engage in hat exchanges in front of Jeff Probst.

Probst then asked Parvati if she had bonded with Yul and Ozzy on her spa trip, and she replied suggestively, “I’d say I bonded with the fellas!” She then added, “THEY BOINKED ME IN THE BLACKOUT!”

Okay, she didn’t say that, but she did note, “Me and two guys in a hot tub — the odds were in my favor, I guess.” This caused Ozzy to chuckle with glee as he surely had a flashback to his notorious porno experiences.

Later, Jeff started asking about Ozzy and his performance, causing Yul to acknowledge that the reason why the Aitu Four have been so successful has been because of Ozzy in a large part. We then cut to Candice who rolled her eyes in disgust. WTF? Why you rolling your eyes, biatch? Were you expecting some sort of credit? Be quiet before we send you off to Exile Island again.

Anyway, it was time for the votes, and no real surprise here. Sundra received two votes, and the rest went to Parvati. And with that, the tribe was relieved of its taxing Poverty issues. Now we have a final five going into Sunday’s finale. Who do you think will win it all? What’s your ideal final three? Does Adam have a chance?

    I would love Yul to win, just because he is so damn smart and I love the way he played this game! To think that by being polite and realistic could get you this far… who knew?!
    I think the best final two would be Ozzy and Yul, as they’ve both played a great game and either way it would be a good outcome.

    Wow! Quick recap B-side. Thanks!

    that screencap of the reward challenge winners makes them look like statues. Kinda cool. :)

    I’m SO glad that Yul beat Adam for the reward. The time on Exile hurt him in morale and strength in the immunity challenge. I realy wanted him to go home, but I can see how voting for Pavarti was a good move too. I hope to see Yul, Becky, and Ozzy in the finals with Yul as the winner. As well as Ozzy’s playing, I think they’ll cut him loose ASAP, and Yul has the idol to protect him. Why no one has tried to pull the idol away from Yul in TC is beyond me. It’s like they’re letting him go further by giving him the opportunity to play it at HIS will instead of theirs.

    Pavarti in the hot tub was blech. You could see how Yul was getting sick of it, but Ozzy seemed to be having fun. His mud carrying was amazing!

    Lovely recap, B-side. I’m glad Poverty’s gone and I hope Adumb goes next. I’d like to see the Aitus stick together. It did bug me, though when Becky and Sundra were complaining about Ozzy’s bucket being so full. They seemed to think he should have slacked off so someone else could win. How about if you two try harder to win?

    I loved Poverty’s final words where she said it was good to know if she was stranded in the wilderness again, she’d know how to survive. Yeah, if there are OTHER people to find the food and cook it for her! WTF is she thinking? She didn’t even learn how to gut a fish until a whole month had passed. And let’s not forget nearly cutting her thumb off! It amazes me how lacking in self awareness some of these people are even after this experience.

    That’s when Candice turned around and looked at Nate who looked like he was surprised at FlirtHo’s admitting being a FlirtHo.

    Hoping the final 3 will be Becky, YuleLog and Awezzy.

    My favorite Survivor quote of the week comes from a drunken Parvati: “I just peed in my pants… and I wasn’t even wearing any.” Heh.

    This episode was fairly predictable, but the muddy reward challenge more than made up for that. I don’t think I’ve ever took so many screenshots for one episode. I’m not sure why, but all the people covered in mud had me laughing nonstop for the first half of the show.

    What a sight. It was as if God had a bad burrito from Taco Bell and strewn god-sized chunks of diarrhea all over Cook Islands. Nice.

    So am I understanding things right? Instead of a Final 2 TC it is going to be between 3 people?

    Ozzy needs to get smart if he gets immunity next time. He has to convince Sundra and Becky to cast their votes for Yul, and of course Adam will too. Yul votes for Adam, so Adam still goes home, but this way everyone is on an equal playing field in the final 4. I know Sundra and Becky seem super tight with Yul, but hopefully they understand that if Yul still has his idol and Ozzy wins more immunities, one of them are going home.

    Thank you for the speedy recap B-side, chuckled nonstop. Mmmmm, mmmmmm, a big juicy kiss for you! I thought Yul could’ve handled himself better when outed by Jeff re: the hat. He should’ve just said “the guy asked for his hat back and I gave it to him”.

    I know wtf with Candice rolling her eyes?? I too wish they would send her back to EI, who cares if she’s no longer in the game.

    Becky complaining about Ozzy giving it his all in challenges was just stupid. What do you expect, IDIOT!

    Still rooting for Yul, but he seemed a little pissy this episode. Gotta keep cool Yul.

    No mention of Jeff screaming “Ozzy’s got a huge load in his hair”?

    I would love to see the final 3 be Ozzy, Yul and Becky, but at that point I don’t think Yul can use the idol anymore so it would be a shootout between Ozzy and himself. Personally, I’d give the money to Ozzy since he’s a struggling porn actor and Yul is a Stanford/Yale education genius who can get any job he wants.

    B-Side, as always, a fantastic recap!

    I was so angry with Becky this week, plotting against my boy Ozzy – and while I get where she is coming from, her logic was a little off. “He likes winning, it doesn’t matter what it is, he just doesn’t like losing”…um…duh, Becky!! You are supposed to want to win in the game of SURVIVOR!!! Sheesh, who stole her tots?

    And for the first time, Yul, of all people, made me a little upset! When Poverty and Adam were talking to Ozzy in the hut, Ozzy leaves and Yul is all “Don’t try and get Ozzy to turn against us.” And Adam started feeling bad…that was the one time I actually kinda liked Adam, and I was yelling at the teevee “Don’t feel bad for scheming! You’re in a GAME!!” Yul is the only one allowed to plot now? Me no likey!

    Glad Poverty went – she was a bigger threat…what with her stupid manipulations and chopping off thumbs with machetes.

    I heart you, B-Side – I aspire to be a recapper like youself! ;)

    GO OZZY!!

    Stellar recap. Either this is one of the best you’ve written in awhile or I’m just drunk. Probably both.

    “We then headed over to Exile Island where Adam was lying out on the sand like a beached starfish. Needless to say, his quest to soar like an eagle had taken another regrettable wrong turn. A closer look revealed all sorts of bugs crawling on his foot, which had me wondering if maybe he had simply died.”

    ROFL! I thought that bug shot was a trite way to inspire pity but the idea of the camera panning out to reveal an expired Adam had me in stitches.

    On another note … why you gotta be bugging Probst?? All of the jury members looked incredibly bored by the hat discussion and I really don’t think anyone cared either way. I think Probst is realizing that this season is strategy-lite and he’s trying to jump in the 11th hour and get something going. Silly host, mad rants about jury pandering are for the players!

    Mowgli is just too good. I too was wondering why everyone didn’t follow suit and take off their shoes. And I also never noticed how bad her teeth are.. I guess she didn’t go through the preliminary Asian kid stage of braces. I know I did..

    Glad to see Nate calmed down his act a bit on the jury. I’m also surprised Candice wasn’t seething with jealousy over Parvati and Adam’s obvious display of affection. Instead she was rolling her eyes at Yul’s statement? Please.. can’t wait for the reunion episode.

    Wienersnitchel, I agree, what was up with Probst? He was just giving the hat back instigator! Probst seemed more annoyed by it than anyone else. I guess he’s paid for doing that sort of stuff.

    Becky through me off with the whole ” he doesn’t like to lose” bit. I guess Survivor isn’t for him.

    yul in the hottub with parvati and ozzie = major league intentional cockblock.

    poor parv. she could have been the first woman ever to pull a train in primetime. we all know ozzie would have been game. but the yulster wasn’t gonna let anyone tamper with his monkeyboy. and just like that, the season’s self-proclaimed sex-pot earned her walking papers.

    parvati was the right choice for everyone. adam did show solidarity by voting for sundra, but he’s going to need an unlikely miracle run in order to be able to cash in all the good will he has on the jury, and he really looked whipped after his latest exile.

    what can you say about ozzie? he’s been a bit of a whiner at times, and i still think throwing the competition was just totally moronic on every possible level. but the dude is just creaming everyone in those competitions, and there really isn’t much they can do about it. he seems no less adept at puzzle fare than at the physical challenges. because he was pretty much flying solo before the mutiny and because yul is viewed as aitu’s ‘godfather’, ozzie can’t really be accused of backstabbing anyone. he’s friendly with everyone on the jury but jonathan, who respects ozzie’s game-play in spite of their personal differences.

    as much as i like yul, if ozzie gets to the final 3, i think the jury has to give it to him. if not for the hidden idol–which yul found partially by the luck of being sent to exile island early on–yul would have been toast a while ago. ozzie controls his own destiny, and has from the beginning of the game. yul also overplayed the hat thing. he could have handled that much more tactfully, and he may be on the verge of provoking a backlash at the jury, many of whom see him as the mastermind behind their undoing. i like yul better, but i think if ozzie can sweep immunity to the end (which is what he’ll likely have to do), he’ll be the top survivor ever. yul will be all right–i read somewhere that he was working for google before the IPO–if he wins survivor, he’ll probably donate his winnings for the write-off.

    ironically, again the mutiny can be pointed to as an unlikely turning point: had candice and jonathan stayed behind, aitu not only would have been less cohesive and impervious to persuasion–they would also have likely targeted ozzie, recognizing that he could dominate individual immunity if allowed to reach the merge.

    “If Thou Looketh Like Aaron Eckhart, Thou Must Goeth To Exileth Island.”

    I hadn’t seen an Aaron Eckhart comparison in a while. If it went on without one of those, I would have said that he looked like Howie from Big Brother. This season actually let me down. It was like watching the entire season of “Survivor: Palau” all over again. I s**t myself when Tomboy Ozzy won that immunity. Oh, and “Tomboy” is my term for men who are too much like Tom Westman. You have probably seen those with Gary Hogeboom and Terry Deitz. If I don’t see Adam win, I hope he kills Yul and Ozzy at the reunion. I would pay extra to see Ozzy’s death, because that’s the last person I want to see win.

    I am hoping for an Ozzy win myself. I think the producers and Jeff Probst have seen his Foursome tape. When he said that was the best shower ever I giggled. Also when Jeff yelled “Ozzy doing it all with the pole” was awesome. I could watch him compete in suvivor challenges forever and be happy. GO OZZY!

I want Ozzie to win if not him then Yul. Looks like Sundra has lost some weight, she looked pretty in her side view of her face. Ozzy can do anything!

    Strangely enough, I have to say Adumb and Poverty have grown on me these past couple of weeks. It has to be because they were the underdogs, but they honestly weren’t as bad as they had been with the loathsome Jonathan around. I believe he was a human type of cancer in that tribe. It was very obvious this episode. Cancer is a single cell that continues to divide and cause havoc and that is exactly what Jonathan was in that tribe. Actually in whichever tribe he had been in.

    Pov had definitely proven herself to be a competitor. Sure she didn’t fish; but she kicked ass amoung the other females in this game. Her and Candice were two that shouldn’t have been underestimated. The show said that Pov is a boxer so I guess she should be physical and tough. Shallow Shallow was too much to tolerate early on (vapid); but she turned out okay in my book. I still think she is more deserving of the final four than either Sundra or Becky.

    Speaking of Becky, though, I think she is calling the shots. Pov’s exit interview stated that Sundra was behind her ouster, so maybe both of the girls are calling the boot order but I wouldn’t really say that is controlling the game. When they have the numbers, it is hard to not move on.

    If Pov had a couple of more days with Ozzie I bet she could have swayed his vote in her favor. I think this was too bad because I believe the season became rather stale after the Aitu 4 came into power. There is something about them that screams “smug” and I hate that on Survivor. I bet that is exactly why we all hated Adam and Pov in the beginning when they had the numbers. The Aitu isn’t as likable as they used to be.

    Yul is the worst liar to ever play this game. His remarks to Pov about Adam being his biggest threat sounded moronic and juvenile. Poor Yul has his back to a wall and I don’t think he can recover. I believe this game will be Ozzy’s if he continues to win the Immunities.

    I say Adam is next; followed by Becky because Ozzy and Sundra will consider the pact between Yul and Becky to be too much. It will be Sundra, Yul and Ozzie in the final three. Sundra is the worst final 3 contestant for a couple of seasons — remember valueless Vecepia (a winner), lousy Lillian and dreadful Katie of Palau? An unspectacular Sundra may join their ranks tonight if she inches into the final 2.

    As for the mud challenge; wasn’t this done on season 1 with Kelly winning one of her consecutive immunities? This was either the week Sean, Rudy or Sue got snuffed.

    The following lit me up:

    ‘Is Yul even capable of scandal? “I propose that we come to a mutual understanding whereas I will aspire to rub or caress your bosoms while you provide a specific sensation of arousal in my pelvic region, to the extent that tugging and/or pulling would inspire a great deal of pleasure.”‘

    Hahahahahahaha!!! You’ve still got “IT”, B-Side!!!
