Survivor: Redemption Island: Crazy Does Have a Color: It's Pink (from 4/20)

Matt is praying and telling his god that he wants out of the game but if "Lord" wants him to stay, he will. Yes, I'm sure if there is a higher power he's up there wanting you to play games in the jungle to win a million dollars. That's your life mission. That's what you were born to do.

I really dislike it when people "pray" about winning games, Grammy Awards, Oscars, etc. How about praying for sick people, for peace or for people to stop driving around with their music as loud as it can possibly go.  I mean, those things help everyone.

Back at camp, Phillip is chanting or something. Maybe his mind has really started to turn into mush and he can't get a real word out.

Oh ok, he's meditation and it is Buddhism.

The old Zapatera tribe (Hairy Ralph, Julie and Steve) have a lot of food leftover since most of their tribe members are gone. So they are happily eating up their rice in front of the others.  I now think that Phillip MIGHT be stealing some of their rice because now that they are one tribe, the rice is for all of them. Sure. That would only work if they were voting as one tribe instead of as the old tribes.

Onto the duel at Raw Sewage Island. Matt, Mike, and David are fighting for their lives by building a house of cards (not actual cards, they are like tiles). The first two who reach their deck to 8 feet will stay alive and the last will be out but will be the first jury member.

Mike gets his the tallest first but putting his last set on the top makes the tower lean a bit. He's shaking.

Mike is able to finish, then Matt.  David is going home and will be on the jury.

Matt keeps talking about the lord. Maybe because he's starting to look like pictures of what Jesus may have looked like he's feeling closer to him.  Either that or Kid Rock.

Back at camp Andrea opens the rice and sees that there are maggots in there. You can't tell in this picture but trust me...some of these things were moving. Gross.

They dump the rice out onto a blanket and separate the maggots. They now have nowhere to put their good rice so they ask Steve if they can put their rice into their container. Steve says "I don't think so" and I don't blame him. Why should he? So they can eat some of their rice before the kick them off one by one? Nope. All set.

It is quite unfortunate that Phillip looks naked in this scene.

Thankfully, he lifted up his arm and I saw his tightie-pinkies. I never thought I would be happy to see those things. But I do NOT want to see Phillip naked.

Phillip starts arguing with Steve and saying that they are being unreasonable. The minute their can of rice is left alone, he's going to take it and hide it. Smooth Phillip. You are such a secret agent.

Steve calls Phillip a lunatic, rightfully so. Phillip suddenly says "Anytime someone of my color gets up in your face you call them a lunatic." Oh cheeseandrice.

Now Phillip says that he's the Chief of Counterintelligence. If this is in any way true, we Americans should be afraid...very afraid.

He keeps pointing out his status of being a federal agent and even though only one person is on camera (Steve who does a great salute) I know that ALL of them were rolling their eyes. Even the cameramen.

Phillip is CRAZY...and it isn't because he's black. He's just fucking crazy. I was going to title this recap "Crazy Has No Color" but I had to change it. Crazy Does Have a Color: It's Pink.

Since he's losing weight on the island, his tightie-pinkes are now loose and baggy. Ew. He has also resorted to using the "n" word so now I hate him even more.

Challenge time! The first six who finish the puzzle first move onto a second puzzle. The winner gets immunity.

First six: Rob, Julie, Ralph, Andrea, Steve and Grant.

Second round: Rob wins immunity. He's the puzzle master apparently.

The only shot Steve, Julie and Ralph have is if two of the others join them in voting out Phillip.

Julie hides Phillip's shorts as they are hanging on the clothesline. So now we are all going to be forced to see him in his loosie-pinkies forever.  PLEASE vote him out because I can't watch this.

Phillip is of course going nuts. Threatening people and now wearing his "buff" over his pink bulge.

At tribal council Phillip says that he can tell that Steve was the one who stole his "trunks" and Jeff says "And you could tell...this goes back to your former training."  Phillip says "Absolutely." I laughed out loud. And I will repeat...we as Americans should be very afraid if he really was a former agent.

                                                       

Phillip thinks that when Steve calls him 'crazy' he's really calling him the "n" word. He's losing his mind.

Jeff wonders how he has jumped to that conclusion and in response Phillip says "Do you know what it's like to be a woman?"

Of course Jeff says no.

Phillip "You don't. You don't know what it's like to be an African American."

Jeff: "Ok...Phillip...."

Phillip: "Let me finish! You asked me a question I'm gonna go there. When I worked for the government as a federal agent in the department that I worked in, I was the only one of 67. I can't sum it up in words, but I know it when I see it." 

He then compares it to how a woman knows when a guy makes an inappropriate remark. Ummm...how on earth is knowing that crazy = "n" word and a woman understanding when a guy is a pig the same thing. Not even related, what the hell is he talking about?

Somehow Jeff makes some sense of it all - kind of. Julie admits that she was the one who hid the shorts. Nice super secret agent intelligence Phil.

Votes: Phillip, Phillip, Phillip, Julie, Julie, Julie, Julie...Julie is voted out. Ugh. Now we have to see more loosie-pinkie. Great.
