Survivor Update: Hmmm, maybe they were the smart people...

So, let me just apologize for not commenting yet this season on HOW MUCH TONY LOOKS LIKE A FRIGGIN MONKEY FACE.  Seriously, are you sitting there every Wednesday discussing amongst yourselves how I could be over looking this?  HOLY SHIT.  I just looked at the TV and said, HE'S A MONKEY FACE. 

Ok, last week Jefra stayed with her alliance and male model Jeremiah was sent packing.  Spencer used his idol to protect himself instead of giving it to Jeremiah, and Kass has to rub it in his face. She is kind of a bitch.  Says of course he wouldn't give it up he's the most selfish of the species, a college age boy.  Hmmmm, me thinks someone didn't get invited to the Senior Dance in college! 

It's Survivor Auction day.  And, it's also time for me to rant.  The trouble with this show is it has become predictable.  Everyone knows there is going to be an 'advantage" for sale.  This time, it meant the food was a buyers market with Tony, Tasha and Spencer sitting out bidding and waiting for the advantage.  Tony is such a (monkeyfaced) paranoid bastard that even with the special GAME RUINING idol he still can't handle the thought of someone else getting a slight edge.  Trish, on the other hand, is either feeling really safe or is totally clueless as to strategy.  She is HUNGRY.  She buys the first item-popcorn, candy and soda- for $80.  OMG, IT'S A GUMMY BEAR!!!  My prediction is at the after show she is  going to weigh about 220.  That girl is going to come off the island like a hoover vacuum cleaner. 

Jefra buys the next mystery package and gets quesadillas, quac and a margarita for $100.  For $20 Kass gets the choice of 2 covered trays,  The one she takes has a steak sandwich and ice tea.  At this point Trish is all "why aren't you people eating???"  "Cheapo Deapo's".  Trish buys the tray Kass gave up for $60 and gets rice and water.  LOL.  Ribs and beer go for $40 to Woo who describes them in their entirety. 

Jeff asks Tony, Spencer and Tasha what they are waiting for.  They want an advantage,  Jeff.  Ok, so lets got to it.  Tony yells out $500.  Nope.  If it reaches the maximum, then anyone who has the money and wants in can pay $500 for a chance to draw rocks.  Tony and Spencer are in but FOR WHATEVER REASON, Tasha doesn't.  Idiot.  It would have increased the odds that she and Spencer would have gotten it.  Big surprise, Tony gets the advantage and the auction is ended.

Dear Mark Burnett/Jeff Probst.  PLEASE STOP SELLING AN ADVANTAGE AS AN ADVANTAGE.  If you want to include an advantage in the auction, might I suggest you mention that one of the items up for sale might include an additional advantage?  That way, more people would bid the food stuff up.  Either that or totally skip the advantage next time around and totally screw people over who wait for it and get neither an advantage or food. 

Spencer is miserable and Kass is loving it.  Tony is pissed off that people bought food and ate.  He's also annoyed by the girls sitting around discussing what they ate.  So he wonders off, reads the advantage and yawn, it's a clue to the immunity idol. 

The girls are in the water rinsing out their cooches, and Tasha makes sure Tony sees her right in the mix.  She wants to make him paranoid.  Tony doesn't disappoint.  He sees them all talking and starts wigging out, complaining to Spencer about it.  Spencer, who really is playing a great game, asks Tony if he's worried?  He proceeds to tell him how Jefra wanted to blindside him, and how she was saying she could get Trish to flip as well.  Spencer knows Tony is crazy and could easily be pushed. 

A little later on, the girls and Spencer are in the water and Tony is pissed off.  There's a dying crab and Jefra tells him to hurry up and cook it so it doesn't go bad.  He's mumbles to his ever present sidekick Woo "get your ass up here and cook!" 

A little later, and for whatever reason it is accompanied by the "suspenseful music", Tony finds another idol.  He runs around showing it to his alliance, supposedly because it's for "all of us", but mainly so they don't try to flip and blindside him. 

Challenge:  Race to dig up 5 bags, each one with a ball in it to be used in a table maze.  Kass and Trish are totally lost digging for balls (life imitates art, once again...) and as Jeff says "Tony goes crazy and knocks his balls all over the place".  It's a race between Woo and Tasha, with Tasha once again winning immunity! 

Tasha is still working Tony with her chattering to the woman.  Tony counts and figures out there are 4 women and 3 men.  One of his alliances is an all male one, since he thinks there might be the beginnings of an all female alliance.  He tells Spencer's theory and that he wants Jefra to go.  He talks to Woo, who is like, cool dude.  Tony wants Spencer to get Tasha in on it, and of course she's fine.  He chooses not to tell Trish or Kass the plan. 

Spencer doesn't totally trust Tony, so he goes searching for the idol, which makes Tonymonkeyface mad.  He tells Woo "there's going to be chaos tonight!" 

Tribal
Spencer-yes, Jeff, one would think I was in trouble tonight.
Tony-IT'S CHAOTIC OUT THERE!! Spencer tried to make me think Jefra was against me.  He pulls out his idol and puts it on.  "I'm not going anywhere tonight"
Jefra-I was upset about LJ
Trish-she was upset that you didn't TELL her about LJ
Tony-you don't advertise a blindside dumbass.  All they have left is a belief in our alliance.
Spencer-chaos is great!  If I can mix things up it only helps me.
Kass-someone could very well make a mistake tonight.
Spencer-I've played well and hard but I'm not ready to go.  There are windows of opportunity that open and close fast.  Not making a move when the opportunity arises is why most people lost the game.

Jeff: sniff sniff, you said that way better than I ever did and I've had like 20 seasons of trying.  Let's vote.

It's 3 votes for Spencer and 4 votes for Jefra!  Another blindside!!
