After lasts weeks crazy Tribal Council I didn’t expect a similar outcome this week. It was less fighting but the person who left was all that more surprising. The favorites opened up the show with their day after Tribal Council. It was obvious that Cerie and Jonathan still had beef and I can see why I guess. It just doesn’t make sense that he’s so upset when he did the same thing multiple times in the Cook Islands.

Over at the fans tribe it seems were still low but looking up…. at least they caught an eel. The focus of this segment was to show Chet’s lack of work ethic which was a theme throughout the episode. We finally saw Natalie and I almost forgot she was on the show. Apparently she “keeps her head down and works” the entire time and well what good does that make for good TV? Everyone basically bashed on Chet being so lazy and we saw a few clips of him laying on the beach, laying in the ocean and hey even laying in the hut!

Now the favorites are having doubt that Eliza should have gone over Yau. She was feeling rather sick and they basically discussed around her that she should have been the one to go. She didn’t take it too lightly, considering she IS Eliza. The favorites are really odd to me. They work so well together in challenges yet are so divided when it comes back to their camp. I hate to see it but I love the mix. I love how they are making drama for us but still keeping them all in the game (thank God!) by winning all the challenge!

The reward challenge was an interesting one and almost made for Ozzy. In a long cage that was submerged under water, several coconuts where floating, some with letters and others with none. What they had to do was get the coconuts out of the cage, swim the coconuts back to the beach and then have the other members put together the coconuts to form a word. Both teams were fairly even but Ozzy’s plan to move all the letters up front, which I’m sure someone else come up with but he just did, secured the win for the favorites. They won four chickens meaning eggs and meat eventually. Plus they all should know they can make popcorn from the chicken feed so I’m sure we’ll be seeing that soon.

Now we all knew someone found the hidden idol, thanks to last weeks preview, so it was no surprise. It was interesting though WHO found the idol and how secretly and well crafted it was. Ozzy is a great swimmer so going island hopping was no problem for him. He quickly found the idol the first night he and Kathy, once again, were there and then created what will hopefully be a great story line later down the line. By pulling a page out of Yau’s playbook, Ozzy hid a fake idol where he found the real one. Probst has said that someone gets burned by a fake idol so I can wait to see how this all plays out!

The Immunity Challenge was a rather odd one since well…. it was so one sided. The favorites quickly got their keys unlocked to their “hub” while the fans struggled. It was really all of Erik’s fault since he couldn’t fine the correct key out of six measly keys to choose from. It made no sense that they just couldn’t get it together and basically handed the win to the favorites for the immunity over lousy key maneuvering.

The fans were now scrambling for the vote as Mikey B. wanted to control things this time around. He Joel into voting out Chet, even though he wanted Kathy out. That made things interesting though as Tracy in the end was the one to control Joel. She got him to vote Mikey out instead since well, he was controlling Joel or trying to. Does that make sense? Joel voted out Mikey because Mikey was trying to control Joel, but Joel was really being control by Tracy. Yeah it was a very interesting vote off and how things went down and I’m still kind of surprised it actually happened as it did with Mikey going. I really did NOT see that coming.

Next week looks rather interesting as the tribes are mixed up and Jonathan could “potentially” have a major leg injury that where Eliza tells us he “could possibly lose his leg”. I’m kind of surprised an injuring would escalate to that bad but we shall have to wait to see!

The night began with a return to the fans beach after they get back from Tribal Council. Mikey obviously knows that Joel pulled the strings for Mary to go and it seemed like he wasn’t too happy with that decision. Over at the Favorites camp we saw the division move even further as it seemed Cerie has joined Jonathan, Yau, Eliza and Ami but she let us in that she isn’t deciding which side she’ll move to until she figures out which side is best for her.

The reward challenge was a brand new one for the show and was very dramatic and crazy. Basically they had to steal pillows from each other, kind of like a hardcore pillow fight in the water. It was great to watch them fight it out and I have a feeling that challenge took forever and we only got to see 5 minutes of it. I wish they would put the full events online for us to watch, like challenge and Tribal Council, but alas we must put up with their cut out version. Of course the challenge was put together very well and made for a great showdown. The favorites pulled out another win and a very needed one for them I felt.

We then saw a few clips from both beaches. At the favorites beach we saw Cerie playing the game much earlier then she did last time. She began to favor the love foursome and told Amanda and Parvati that its them three to the end, screwing over the other four she just minutes ago claimed to be a part of. At the fans beach we saw their lack of shelter help them oh so much during the worst down poor yet. They basically have no idea what they are doing as they claimed to have not slept at all through the storm. They have been there for at least a week now in episode three, so you would think they would have things at least a little under control. Guess not.

It then came down to another physical challenge for immunity. Four of the tribemates had to hold a suspended net, while the other five had to shoot coconuts into the other tribes nets. It was another brand new challenge for the show and a very fun one to watch! Jonathan commentated the entire time which probably contributed to him losing. You would think James could have held that net all by himself, but the favorites struggled for a large portion of the challenge while the fans didn’t move a muscle. It was a no brainer for a win as the fans gained another victory, even on their lack of sleep. It was then off to Tribal Council for the favorites who had a lot of drama going on so it was kind of good they went so we could see it play out!

Cerie was the start of last nights pre-TC and during the Tribal Council. She basically told everyone she’s voting one way and one way only, and that was for Yau Man. This made the foursome love alliance vote with her just so they had her vote in the future, even though they could have voted off whoever they wanted actually. Jonathan wasn’t happy that Cerie (or as he calls her Sherie) wasn’t voting who he wanted her too and basically blabbed about his entire alliance to the entire tribe, good work Jonathan. I like both him and Cerie but I think they made majorly bad moves by voices such strong opinions and both trying to control the game so early.

When it came to the Tribal Council both Jonathan and Cerie fought once again, but this time in front of Jeff. It is kind of expected from Jonathan that he’d act like this but nobody really saw it coming from Cerie. Last time she was very subdue and really didn’t get into the fight but just sat back and watched. Yau Man took the fall in the end and wasn’t really shown much, meaning they were probably happy he went anyway.

Next week looks to be another showdown between Cerie and Jonathan and yet another one between Mikey and Joel. Plus someone apparently finds the Hidden Immunity, thanks for ruining it in the preview Burnett!

Survivor Micronesia is just beginning but the blindsides are already starting. But before we get to that lets start off with the “lovers square” that are trying to become the new Romber. It seems like Amanda/Ozzy and Parvati/James are becoming too tight for their own good. Their games are seeming to get screwed up by their “love” found on the beach and they probably don’t realize they are a huge target. Cerie FINALLY came into the episode and the game and plans to pull that alliance apart. Her and Jonathan began talking and it seems they are now aligning and my perfect alliance was born! Let’s hope they go all the way.

Over at the fans we seem them in more trouble then before. They can’t get fire started and the tribe is split 7 to 3 with another old/young split. Kathy, Tracy and Chet were basically kicked out by the youngins and ended up building their own shelter, which ended up being better then the first one! It was actually funny to see as they kick them out of the shelter, they then build there own and then they ask the three to help them build a new one just like it! I don’t know how long this split can last, but I hope the three of them can take it at least to the merge. I’m always up for a good underdog story.

At the challenge I was really rooting for the favorites as I didn’t want any of them to go. The challenge started off fairly even with everyone basically right behind each other with the key. When it came time for Chet to swim out, he lost the key and came back to the beach empty handed, putting the fans one rotation behind. Ultimately they couldn’t catch up as the puzzle was solved before the fans could even open their chest. Thankfully the favorites won!

 Then we found the new twist to the game as Exile Island returned. The favorites sent Kathy, which was odd, to Exile and then were told to send one of their own. Cerie said she would go and off they went. I think Cerie wanted to experience Exile Island since it started on her season and she wanted to prove she could go there. At Exile her and Kathy quickly bonded and found out they had to first search for clues to find the hidden idol. They swam across the ocean 4 different times and ultimately never found the idol. At least Cerie was on tons more then last week though!

At the fans tribe they had to decide who was going. Mikey made up some huge plan to vote where they would split the votes for Tracy and Chet, since Kathy could give them the hidden idol. It was kind of crazy and put a target on him actually and his new showmance Mary. At Tribal Council the votes were switched up since everyone though Mikey was running things and had Mary at his side to do anything. Mary ended up taking the fall for Mikey, who would have gone if the fans didn’t need him for the challenges.

I must say Micronesia is getting very interesting very fast. I can’t wait to see how this season turns out and can’t wait to see how Cerie switches up this game next week! Can you tell who my favorite is yet? I bet you can!

I watched my Tivo’ed Surivivor Micornesia Fans vs. Favorties last night and I have to tell ya….this is going to be quite the season.

Not quite an “All Star” show but taking 10 contestants and match them up against 10 fans of the show is seeming to make for an interesting mix.

First off, I am very happy to see Amanda back. I think I am still in love with her since Survivor China and I am hoping she goes far….now as far as Ozzy is concerned….chill out. This is not Big Brother and I will NOT TOLERATE a SHOWMANCE on SURVIVOR! (Jeff Probst has spoken!)

Do you think the “Faves” are a little cocky and not really focusing on the game…I mean….between 2 obvious couples, losing the first challenge and just a weird we rock and have nothing to prove attitude….they just seem to be coasting by…

….meanwhile the fans seem to be more focuses on winning the challenges which we all know is really what matters. They may have not had shelter and had a learning curve for most things but when it comes down to winning….they DID and ended up sending JFP packing!

Speaking of JFP…was it just me or was he “trying” (and very poorly I may add) to fix his bad reputation.  I have to admit that I was very unimpressed with him.  He had no game and came off as a whining spoiled brat…..I want to go home, I want you to vote me off, I dont have it in me.  Obviously you dont….YM has more game then you ever will!

So tomorrow night, Valentine’s Day, round 2….who will win?  Fans or Favorites?

Peace,  Jeff Probst
