Survivor: Redemption Island: Turtles! (from 3/16)

The yellow tribe had to cuddle up under the tarp last night because it was pouring. Crazy Phillip 007 slept behind Rob with his knee in his back the whole time. I wouldn't have been worried about his knee...there isn't much material between the tightie-pinkies and 007's 007.

Now Rob thinks that Phil should stay because he annoys everyone so much that it takes the heat off of Rob.

At the purple camp, people are catching fish left and right. They decide that Stephanie and Krista (Russell's ex-pawns) are going to watch the duel. They want to send a message to the other tribe that they were Russell's girls and they will be ready to go against their own team at the merge.

Lucky for the yellow team, Rob and the handsome Grant are viewing the duel. Rob is in control of the yellow team so it is best that he's there to hear the young girls' pleas.

Big Boobs McGee was sent to Redemption Island last week. Sorry...Kristina. So she is going against Matt, who has won every duel he's been in. Jeff explains what everyone already knows, the loser of this duel goes home and has no shot at the million dollars. No pressure.

The duel consists of making a box out of pieces, like a 3D puzzle. Matt wins again so Boobies is going home. Sorry guys. What am I saying? Sorry me, too. I'm a straight woman and I can't stop staring at the boobs. I have boob envy.

The purple girls make it known to Rob and Grant that they are willing to merge with them and go against their tribe. Who knows if Rob & Grant believe them?

Two of the girls on yellow don't do anything except shampoo their hair and tan on the beach.

Phillip is trying to pull Andrea into an alliance with him if Matt is able to return to the tribe. The only way that this will work is if they win the immunity challenge today so they don't have to send anyone else home. If they merge, Andrea, Matt and crazy Phil could have a chance to merge with the other tribe because they are going to want to get Rob out immediately since he is a huge threat. We shall see.

The purple girls are on their way back to their camp. Krista asks Stephanie "What all are we going to tell them?" What all?? Why do people add "all" when they ask questions like this? I've noticed it lately. Like, "Who all is going to go to the party?" Why is ALL there??

Sorry...grammar police checked in for a second.

The purple tribe seems pretty confident about winning the next challenge. They have won every single one except the one they lost on purpose.

This challenge consists of one person for each team calling out and leading the team members who are blindfolded, through a maze. They have to find bags that are tied up and bring them to one spot. Stephanie and Rob are the ones calling out for each team and I'm surprised that Stephanie isn't that bad.

Once the bags are all collected onto the perspective tables, Rob and Stephanie will have to empty the bags and complete a puzzle. Yellow team has all of their bags but purple is behind because Hairy Ralph doesn't know left from right.

Rob is supposedly a good puzzle maker. However, the camera sees Rob drop one of his puzzle pieces on the ground and he has no clue. Oh...no wait, he found it. It is kind of neck and neck here. I'm biting my nails.

I knew it was "The Sweet Taste of Victory" as soon as I saw the word Victory at the end. The prize was a bunch of donuts, hello???

Rob and the yellow team wins. This is good news for Phil and Andrea.

Everyone on the yellow tribe are chowing down on donuts. Those things are going to sit in their stomach like rocks.

Rob and Grant find the clue to the hidden immunity idol in the coffee so they do a little maneuvering and Rob is able to get away with the clue as he's going to get water. He's running through the jungle. He went to his spot where he hid the original clue (no one knows he had found that and in turn has the immunity idol) and swapped them out. He knows the original clue was not helpful so he's going to let Grant and whoever else see that one, while he has the new clue hidden.

We get to see a turtle burying her eggs in the sand, that's amazing. This isn't the actual turtle from the show.

I really need to start watching National Geographic channel or something more often because this stuff fascinates me.

Purple tribe seems to be not as unified as they were. However, Stephanie and Krista are clearly on the chopping block because of their unity with Russell.  Some people think that Krista is #1 to go and some think that Stephanie is #1 to go.  Sarita thinks that David, who is a lawyer, a bigger threat and seems to interrupt a lot should go home but I doubt that will happen.

Too much talking during this tribal council.  This whole episode has been pretty uneventful I guess. Predictable from the beginning. Krista gets voted out. The other tribe is probably hugging their stomachs in pain from all the donuts. Poops in the woods. Seeing that turtle bury the eggs was the best part.

Oh!!! And I just saw a baby turtle using its flippers to hop along the sand! THAT was the best part.

That isn't THE baby turtle from the show, but one I found to show how cutie wootie it is!!!!

Looks like next week crazy 007 comes out again so it should be more interesting.
