Episode FIVE:


Description:


REMINDER: Please do not vote in the weekly poll if you know the outcome due to spoiler sites or comments you've read elsewhere.

If the Villians go to tribal, I'd like to say Russell, but if he finds the HI Idol and plays it, it won't be him. My wife hates Russell and wants him gone bad. She's hoping he doesn't find it and they vote him out because he looked for it.

Every time Russell talks about Coach I have to

Bout time he found the idol.

Damn, physical challenge

Nice seeing Coach get knocked down there, sucks for James. Challenge sucked though, over too quick.

@ Rupert in the challenge. James says back up and he goes forward.

Courtney is pathetic. Has she ever had a positive impact on a challenge?

man heroes suck with puzzles, i was hoping for a win

Man the heroes are dumb.

This is just getting pathetic for the heroes, I don't know how James will be a good asset with a bad leg over voting off Tom.

I'm reminded tonight why Amanda's 2 prior seasons are 2 of the only ones I've quit on - she is an annoying bitch! And James is a stupid SOB. Not sure what Candice and JT were thinking...Amanda and James will stab them in the back as soon as they can.

Also, how far has Rupert fallen from being a top notch competitor and likable guy to a piece of crap?

I like Colby, but since he's clearly the next one to go, I hope the Villains run the table from here on out, and that James being hurt is a direct result of their losses.

I'm 100% with everything you said. Why is there a consensus that Amanda is so much stronger/better than Candice? One thing I don't understand is why James had to be taken out of the Reward Challenge. He could have thrown for the baskets when on the platform and just stood off to the side when in the pit. Wouldn't have kept them from having to vote someone off though.

I guess the producers who picked Rupert and James as heroes define heroes as dumb, stupid, idiotic, misogynistic dipshits. I thought James had the monopoly on bullying women until Rupert threw Jerri up against the rail.

I really don't get that vote from JT and Candace.

at Colby....no chocolate for us....we're focused....start the challenge. Nice job.

Can't wait for Russell vs. Boston Rob to play out.

Colby will turn out to be right, and JT will regret that decision. It was so stupid and especially after he made such a bold move at the last tribal. I honestly don't want any of the Heroes to win now and Amanda's eye candy, but she deserves to go before Candice. James couldn't even take a little joke about Probst's niece without looking like he wanted to rip Jeff's heart of his chest and eat it. What a major league dick.

Wow, and now I'm trying to look at how they made Russell the star last year and how they're doing it again this year and, based on that, it looks my favorite player on both sides will be going home next.

This season is quickly crashing and burning. It would be fitting if Parvati won the damned thing.

Colby's dream of holding hands with Tom in a video production did come true tonight though, so Colby can't claim the challenge was a total loss.

The best part was that he didn't even end up taking part in the challenge he was so focused on.

Yep. I liked Russell last year, he's annoying the shit out of me this season - although I will say, if Rob is blindsided by Russell using the HII, he deserves it. C'mon, everybody has to know he has it. Or at least assume he has it, since he's been off looking for it unattended. Hopefully Rob has enough support that they can do a split vote to get the HII out and vote somebody like Poverty out.

Too bad the Heroes simply suck at the puzzle portion of the immunity challenges. It's looking like a back-end season chillin' with the villains.

I normally can't stand Russell, but his line about the villains being focused because they always win was great. Rupert's dumb growl in response was even better.

I liked how Amanda was asking all these dumb questions about James's knee ("is it broken?" etc.) and Candice Woodcock, M.D. was all clinical about it.

Did everyone else notice Rob walking around with a hand protecting his junk after he got hit there?

Wow, keep cripple James over Tom. I hope none of the Heroes win. They all suck. Amanda and James have become super annoying this season.

Why is everybody so crazy for Amanda? She has to be one of the dumbest strategic players out there. Is it just because she's pretty?

As for the Heroes, they continue to fall apart and it's fun seeing all the bad decisions they keep making. JT and Candice had an chance to align with Tom and Colby and vote out the rest of that dumb tribe. Too bad they blew it. I never understood people who vote on a friends only basis. Rupert and his broken toe should have been gone weeks ago. I can't wait until the villains devour the remaining heroes at the merge. It's going to be awesome.

Finally, is it just me or does it seem like Courtney sits out on every challenge possible?

I'm sure the answer is YES for most of us. Especially the married ones.

Coach continues to be one of the biggest fools of all time and it's just friggin' crazy how seriously he takes himself when he's such an idiot.

It's one thing to be dumb, it's another to be a fool. He was all overwhelmed that Russell asked HIM to be apart of Russell's side and shared his "secret" with HIM that he was willing to leave his other alliance just for the honor and the kindness Russ displayed to the big bad (but also sensitive) Dragon slayer.

I mean, doesn't Coach remember his last time on Survivor? He really thinks he's there for honor and to make friends.

JT is playing a COMPLETELY different game this time around.

We need a gross food challenge soon.
