Survivor of Love

Thursday, November 15, 2007 at 11:01pm by Maggie

James woke everyone up by singing a little good morning song, which reminded me of an episode of Friends. Then he cooked some breakfast fish. After breakfast, he had a conversation with Denise. She told him she was worried about her place in the group because she was the only one who didn’t know what was going on at last tribal council. James assured her to keep quiet and stick with him, which she wanted to do because duh…he has two immunity idols.


Then Peih-Gee regaled everyone with her impersonation of Jean-Robert, and to Todd and James, it was like he never left.

Then Courtney and Frosti fell in love over a piece of fish.

Time for reward. Peih-Gee and Eric picked teams to compete, and the goal was to keep a rubber ball off the ground by bouncing it on drums while traveling across the playing field. Frosti, Courtney, Eric and Amanda got comfortable with the challenge before the other team, so they won a riverboat ride complete with fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and booze. They all got kind of drunk and counted each other’s vertebrae. It was like one big double date.

Todd was really jealous that he didn’t get to go, and Peih-Gee was so pissed that she picked a fight with James, who called her a loser and told her she was silly. Then James confided in Denise that he worried about Courtney’s loyalty now that she was having a big romance with Frosti. When the four returned, they lied about what they had for lunch, thinking that the mention of fried chicken would make the others go insane.

Then they went to the immunity challenge. Jeff offered everyone a chance to eat instead of play for immunity. James, Todd, Courtney and Denise sat down to cheeseburgers while the other four competed in a memory game. Peih-Gee won. James later revealed that he’d eaten seven cheeseburgers.

Since Peih-Gee saved herself, there was a scramble back at camp to decide who to get rid of. Frosti put in a bad word for Eric, Courtney suggested she may vote against the group if Frosti goes on the block, and Todd suggested that maybe Courtney should go. I didn’t get my hopes up because that was just too good to be true. Courtney voted against Frosti after all.

Once he was gone, Jeff informed them that they had more business to attend to at tribal council. Da da da!

    I so wanted James to call Peih-Gee out on the fact that EVERY SINGLE TIME she had control of the ball during the challenge, it would bounce wildly out of control. Frosti and Eric figured out pretty quickly that the key was to calm the ball down and let it bounce as little as possible. Peih-Gee had that thing hopping ten feet in the air every time. But she still wants extra credit for “trying”, and somehow it’s James’ fault for not running back to the start line fast enough. “Silly” doesn’t even begin to cover it. Hope she goes soon.

    You have totally ruined me; I’m one sentence into your recap, Maggie, and I’m singing, “Moooorning is heeeeeeeeeeeere, get into gear!”

    I hope the beginning of the next show is not a straight vote – in that case, Erik will clearly and predictably get the boot. Predictable = bad. Maybe they’ll weave in a quick immunity challenge.

    How could they expect PG to contribute when she had that tiny little drum? The other team wisely gave that to Courtney and apparently told her to stay out of the way. amanda too for that matter.

    Has Todd tried to get one of the individual immunity things back from James?

    Mel, I just snorted. SO HARD THAT IT HURT. I love it!

    Also. What on EARTH is wrong with Amanda’s ass that it is constantly being blurred out? It’s not crack, because it’s being blurred from the bottom. Does she have testicles?

    I had the same question about Amanda’s rear. It’s almost like she has a product placement on her bottom that they have to blur.

    I’m always a little disappointed when people who are on the chopping block don’t try to rework the numbers in their favor (or maybe the editors didn’t show us). It appeared that Frosti and Eric knew it would be one of them, but didn’t appeal to Denise or Courtney to flip based on their “outsider” positions on the core alliance.

    I don’t have anyone I’m rooting for too strongly at this point, but I guess I’d like to see James win just to get Miss Alli’s panties in a bunch.

    Me too. I keep waiting for the day her head actually explodes, but it never happens.

    Mel, I keep looking at that and laughing my head off. THANK YOU.

    I wondered about her hiney too and figure maybe it is some sort of offensive tat? Any other option is just to ick for me to even consider!
    :) That whole wolf the burgers down segment just screamed to be LOL’d!

    Question: Everyone knows that James has two “American” Idols – why don’t they all just vote against him in the next two tribals to even the playing field? Maybe there’s something about the rules I don’t understand because the first thing I’d do is take away his edge any way I could.

    Mel, it’s not really that easy, though, is it? Because when James uses the immunity idol, the person with the next closest votes goes home. So you have to orchestrate the votes so that James gets the most votes, and so that the other person who you’ve decided will really go that week (who will not be cooperative) has more than one vote … because James will probably vote for somebody entirely different, and you don’t want a tie.

    And you have to do this two times in a row. And the second time, James will be aware that you’re doing it, and probably won’t go down without a fight.

    I honestly don’t think this group has either the balls or the smarts to pull of a maneuver like this once, much less twice. Todd probably has the smarts, but I doubt he’d put himself on the line like that.

    TY, GB. My mind was trying to explode trying to figure out how this year’s crop could pull something like that off.
