Episode 9 - JT has just made a dumb move.

I almost said that JT was the stupidest survivor ever, but even if he goes next week, that is not true because Erik from Season 16 holds that honor. JT will come in second though, unless by some sort of luck (which isn't going to happen), Russell does come to their side.

It is interesting that Parvati and Russell now both have idols and they can pretty much control this game. Parvati is playing smart though, getting Danielle on her side and trying to get Courtney, but it just didn't work out. If I was them, I would have voted out Sandra, because she has new life now that they are merging next episode and the game is about to change. I was already wrong on my next to go , but I still stick with the order, just taking Courtney out of the mix, the rest will go as predicted. ;-)

The Villains were smart and had the advantage anyway, by having Russell sit out of the reward challenge, as the girls clearly had the advantage in that challenge. I like the twist on the challenge where they were going against people from the other tribe as opposed to everyone for themselves.

I think Russell purposefully didn't try in the immunity challenge, so he could get the idol, once Colby told him about it. I'm not sure even if he did try that the Villains would have had a chance, but it didn't matter.

Should be a fun rest of the season and I hope that my prediction is at least close, because I really want to see Sandra get farther and I think she is safe for at least two more weeks, especially if she either flops or the villains regain the numbers.

Thanks for reading and see you next week. Until then, the Tribe has spoken.
