Survivor: All Shamar, All the Time

Yes, peeps, a day early.  Or 5 days late depending on your point of view. 

So, what are we thinking of this season?  Meh.  It's really 2 shows, the celebrities that show up at challenges and then hang in their air-conditioned trailers and the FAVS who are actually trying to play the game.

Shamar, Shamar
do dooodo dooodo do do
Shamar, Shamar...

What a lazy freaking ASS.  No way he went to Iraq twice and didn't get shot by his fellow soldiers.  Last week we thought he was going since Laura promised the handsome duo, Reynolds Wrap and Eddie she could bring 2 votes.  But alas, no.  And the other "attractive" girl was sent packing.  Eddie and Wrap are feeling duped.  Laura says "you're just mad because your plan didn't work", to which Wrap yells "IT WAS YOUR PLAN!!!". 

Over on StealthRUS, Phillip has given all his alliance names: 

Cochran= The Intelligentsia Attache
Andrea = The Eliminator
Malcolm= The Enforcer
Corrine = Dominatrix
Dawn= True Grit

He then gives Brandon a name-tells him he has know earned the honor of joining his alliance.  Brandon is now The Conqueror.  Phillip is just trying to give him a sense of belonging but Brandon doesn't even realize he's being played.  "It took me 9 days to infiltrate the alliance...Phillip doesn't even know I've been lying to him-he sucks as an agent..." 

Andrea is pissed that not alliance people are getting silly names too.  What next, Brenda? Yep, she's Serenity.  Because you know, there's nothing else to bitch about other than the names Phillip gives out on Celebrity Survivor. 

Challenge:  Reward.  2 people have to be moved from platform to platform, and then everyone has to swim to another platform and do a pile on.  Wanna know what you're playing for?  A visit from a local, mostly nekked bushman. 

FAVs win, of course.  Laura can't freaking swim.  Yet Shamar stands up and yells "THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!".  I hear he also cheered for the wrong side in Iraq.  Although in his defense it is quite hard to figure out what is the right and wrong side in Iraq... 

Tata, the little 4' tall bushman comes to the celeb camp and helps them make better rice in bamboo, helps then fluff their pillows and, per Cochran, gets a little bump and grind against the women".  So, "it was like dinner and a show". 

FANS-Shamar is laying in the shelter about 19 hours a day because he is so fat that he can't move without eating.  Seriously, how much money did we waste on gourmet food in Iraq anyway?  He never went a couple days without food like most people in that part of the world??  "hey little poor Iraq child, would you bring me your rice??"   He actually tells the tribe that he'll stay but "y'all have to bring me rice once a day".  LOL.  They're all pissed off at him. 

So apparently while he was laying in the shelter scratching his balls and his ass repeatedly, he also scratched his eye.  Which swells up over the night of rain and wandering rats.  Pssssst-why not catch and freaking eat a rat?????  So Shamar is all swollen eyed, and for some reason is holding his hand strange-perhaps it's the one he uses as toilet paper.  Anyway, Jeff arrives (apparently for the second time although they didn't show that he came before when Shamar wanted to quit).  He brings the Australian Medic Jeff cheats on his wife with and she says he has 2 scratches on his cornea.  Jeff gets all serious about it (remember when he ignored the woman who could have had appendicitis??)  Since it could effect his vision he is pulled from the game.

"Shamar, do you feel like you are letting your tribe down?"  Bwahahahahaha.  He has the tribe come say goodbye.  "um, later."  "yea, sorry Shamar". 

Immunity Challenge and Jeff is wearing the blue nipple ring shirt. NOT THAT I CARE.

One by one they swim out to a platform, jump off smashing pottery (don't get me started) and retrieving a key.  There are 5 keys that unlock 3 locks on a trunk full of balls that get thrown at a  balance bean holding wooden blocks.  SO YEA NO PUZZLE AGAIN!!!!

Sherrie messes up and the FANS fall an entire key behind, even though Eddie makes up a lot of time.  Phillip is throwing and then Wrap starts nailing the blocks.  But alas, they can't catch up and FAVS win immunity again. 

Mike and Matt talk.  Matt wants to get rid of Laura and keep Eddie and Wrap.  Mike isn't sure because, well for one he's gay and prefers to hang with women but he also trusts Laura more than Eddie and Wrap.  Matt talks to Wrap who doesn't really trust him.  Tells Wrap that he and Mike are voting for Laura.  "If you don't believe me, play your idol but I'm voting for Laura". 

The girls are thinking they need to split the vote again.  Matt tells Sherrie he is voting for Laura because they need the strong people to win.  "We're not winning anyway"...  Sherrie doesn't want the 4 men to take over.

Tribal: Also in blue

Matt:  There is less tension without Shamu.  But we lost a big strong guy.
Sherrie:  I miss Shamu as part of my alliance...
Wrap:  I don't vote with them.  They have a strong 5 person alliance but they can't win without me and Eddie.
Laura:  It's about prioritizing strength vs loyalty.  We've had 10 days to build loyalty.
Wrap:  But we're losing
Sherrie: Yep, we're losing anyway.
Eddie:  With this vote we could come together and win. Laura is the weakest.  Sherrie is also weak.
Laura:  Yes, but what if there is a merge...

hmmmmm


Vote:  Wrap plays the idol and Laura is voted off and not even given a chance to get a Probst rub against.
