Episode Report Card Sara M: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Waterloo
By Sara M | Season 19 | Episode 15 | Aired on 12.20.2009
But before we can see the immunity challenge, we have to do the stupid boring time-filler walk of the fallen tribemates. First up is Marisa. Li'l Russell says if he didn't "get rid of her first" then he wouldn't have made it this far. Marisa says she'd rather be a strong woman and leave the game early than the other way around. I'm still trying to remember what, exactly, made her a strong woman. Jeffrey Tambor is up next. He almost died and had to leave the game, only for his medical crisis to be overshadowed by the actual death of the other Russell. "You never give up and you go down swingin'," he says. That's great advice if you, too, want to leave Survivor in a van with an oxygen mask on your face. Betsy is up next, and Li'l Russell criticizes her for telling him he was playing "too hard" because he thinks everyone should play the game hard or end up like Betsy. Betsy says that this show rekindled her desire to push herself to the limit that she lost when she became a mother. So Li'l Russell basically said "Screw you, Betsy," and Betsy basically said "Screw you, kids." Moving on.
Oh, it's Ben. "He had no idea how to play it socially," Mick says; "I wasn't sorry to see him go." Wow, has anyone gotten a worse tribute on this show than that? But he deserves it, so it's cool. Ben says people couldn't handle his honesty, and if Survivor was really about survival, he'd win. Not only that, but he'd apparently murder everyone else. I'm not going to bother arguing with him because it won't do any good. Yasmin is next, and Brett gets to speak because no one else really knew her. He calls her a "character" and a "crack-up." Is Brett from the '40s? Yasmin says she's proud of what she did in this game but won't go camping anytime soon. Kind of makes you wonder why she went camping in the first place. And then, Ashley. "She was my little sister. I loved her," says Natalie, who said the same thing to Ashley right before she voted her ass out. Ashley says her "strategy" was "to make a really strong alliance. And it didn't work." Then she goes on to blame it all on Li'l Russell and his control over the game.
Dead Russell is up next. Brett calls him "the heart and soul of the Galu tribe" and the reason why Galu did so well. They probably figured it out once Galu basically fell apart as soon as he left. Mick says he "hated" to see Russell go but "hoped" to see him go, too. Does Mick have anything nice to say about anyone? Russell says being medically removed from this game totally sucks as we get to see yet another replay of when he died. Hey, wait! What's up with the shot of Probst there? This is Russell's montage! Keep out! Anyway, Russell says if it wasn't for his wife and daughters then he would have rather died on Survivor. Which he did, so, congrats Mr. Deathwish! Now go drink some water so you don't die again. The last pre-merge contestant is Liz, who Natalie calls "physical" and "a rock star." They probably could have used her against Brett, then. Oops! Too late now. Liz says this game taught her to be a patient person.
