OMG
3 letters that can express how shocked I was with what happened in Survivor Heroes vs Villains this week - Boston Rob Mariano getting voted out. Are you kidding me? LOL
 Rob delivering his last words after he got voted out of Survivor Heroes vs Villains. Way too early, Rob! |
I love Rob Mariano. I loved him since Survivor All-Stars. I really thought he'd win, but he lost to Amber Brkich, now his wife. But, this season, Heroes vs Villains, he sucked. I really thought he'll be as cunning as he was in All-Stars but I was disappointed. I thought it's going to be a great fight between him and Russell. But, no. Rob didn't do anything great strategically. He only aligned himself with weaklings Sandra and Courtney. I don't know why he transformed into that likable, hardworking Rob. C'mon! That's not how to play the game of Survivor and you know it, Rob. You were so good at it in All-Stars! Whatever happened to that evil, two-faced cunning Rob Mariano that I loved?!
During Tribal Council, Rob kept on making excuses on what he's trying to do to help the tribe. He said that he only thinks about the tribe and to keep them strong, but he wants to get rid of Russell who's one of the strongest players in their tribe. C'mon, Rob. You know that's BULLSHIT. Courtney should've been voted out, but, because you wanted to keep your weak allies in the tribe, you were voted out instead. Even Coach wanted to get rid of Courtney because it's the SMART thing to do. Russell could've gunned for Courtney instead of you if only you actually thought of keeping the tribe strong. Now, Heroes will keep on winning because you weren't thinking! Sheesh.
Russell is officially the BEST Survivor player ever. He got Rob Mariano booted out too early in the game, and that only shows how good he is in manipulating people. I knew no one got to watch his season because they all don't know what he did back then. If they did, they wouldn't trust him, well, except for Parvati and Danielle.
Did you see how Russell told Rob that Sandra OR Courtney should go home next? "One of these", referring to Sandra and Courtney who were right in front of them. Hahahaha! Mai and I thought Russell was speaking privately to Rob, but, then, we saw this:
 Sandra looked at Russell, surprised after Russell said to Rob that one of them (her and Courtney) should go home next, right in front of their faces. |
Then, Rob clarified what Russell was saying and he pointed to Sandra and Courtney. PRICELESS!!! Hahahaha. Mai and I had to pause the episode because we were laughing hysterically at what Russell just pulled off. How could you NOT love Russell?!?! He speaks the truth!
Rob laughed nervously, and there's this look like he cannot freaking believe what Russell just did. LOL!
 Rob's reaction after what Russell said. Oh dear, Rob. You had no idea what you were up against. I still love you, though. |
As much as I wanted to see more of Rob vs Russell, I knew that one of them wouldn't make it before the merge. But, still, I would've loved to see Rob more. Courtney and Sandra should've gone first before him. Tsk!
Anyway, Russell Hantz is still in the game and that's the only thing that makes me want to continue watching. To everyone who hates him, why?!?! He's only playing the freaking game of Survivor. Don't start with all that bullshit and drama that they should still be nice and not compromise their integrity or values for just a game. We're not talking about "REAL" life, you idiots. Do you play nice when you play Poker?! Do you think of your opponents' feelings when you play Chess, basketball or any other sport?! Sheesh. Just because there's a social game involved doesn't make Survivor any less of a mind game.
Another reason why I'm enjoying Survivor Heroes vs Villains now is because James Clement got eliminated last week. He's been an asshole and a moron ever since he got Stephanie voted out of their tribe. I hate him so much that I was even happy he got injured and his allies were forced to vote him out. Now, it seems that he was the one who was bringing the team down because of all his negativity. He's still as stupid as he was back in Survivor China and Fans vs Favorites. Good riddance.
I don't like Colby, but, what James said to him, referring to Colby as his fake Superman who was actually wearing a fat suit, was just RUDE and I pitied Colby. I knew it hurt to hear those words from a fellow Survivor. And James really didn't need to say that.
I don't really like the Heroes tribe and none of them can still be considered a "hero". Even Rupert Boneham irritates the hell out of me. He takes the freaking game and challenges too personally. Remember when he hurt Jerri when the round was already over? Then, at the last challenge, he was pissed off with how Russell was handling him. It was a physical game. He was supposed to stop you from helping your tribemates, just like what you were doing to him. LOL. I hate him. I hate Rupert Boneham and James Clement. I hate the Heroes tribe.
I love what happened in tribal council last week, when Russell saved Parvati Shallow's ass. I loved how Russell manipulated Tyson Apostol into voting for Parvati instead of going with what Rob wanted them to do, which resulted to Tyson getting the boot. I loved Tyson, but, he knew he was stupid for trusting Russell.
The looks on every one of the Villains that night were PRICELESS! Russell looked pretty happy with himself, Parvati and Danielle don't know what just happened. They didn't know that Russell planted a seed on Tyson's head before the tribal council. Parvati was shaking her head, I'm guessing she was trying to wake herself up from that crazy dream. LOL!
 Danielle & Parvati shocked at Tyson's elimination (Pardon the poor photos. Can't get any more clear snapshot of it) |
From the sneak peek of next week's episode, it seems that the Villains tribe will start losing or will crumble after Rob's elimination. Let's see. Russell was able to survive his tribe's downfall in Survivor Samoa, leaving 4 of his tribemates in the merge against 6 of the opposing tribe, but he was able to manipulate their way to the Finals, so, I'm still waiting for what Russell's going to do next.
