Episode Report Card Sara M: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Fistbump
By Sara M | Season 20 | Episode 8 | Aired on 04.08.2010
Jerri points out that Sandra could have said "hell yeah, put me in there!" Sandra tries to sum everything up, asking if they're saying that they lost today because she and Courtney sat out. Danielle decides to speak up and make things even muddier with this: "yeah -- no!" Sandra is being way too defensive about all of this, but I'm fine with it because it means the return of the Furious Sandra interviews! "The worst tribe ever put together is the Villains tribe. I should not even be here. I should be with the Heroes. Cause I can't stand Jerri, I hate Coach, I hate Danielle, I hate Russell even more. So any of those four -- I'm not gonna pick one above the other cause I equally hate them all." Hee hee hee. First of all, she doesn't hate them all equally because she just said she hated Li'l Russell more than anyone else. And second, I love how Sandra thinks the reason why she should be on the Heroes is because she hates people.
Courtney and Sandra hang out together in the woods being awesome. Courtney can't believe how quickly things turned on them, but Sandra is beyond complaining about it now and has moved onto the plotting stage. "Do you want to get even with Coach?" she asks. And now it's time to remember how Sandra won a million dollars in Season 7. She says Li'l Russell is the kind of person who will gun for someone he thinks is gunning for him. If they can convince Li'l Russell that Douche is plotting against him by "putting a bug in his ear," he'll turn his alliance against Douche and they'll be safe for now. Ha! Screw you and your stupid seeds, Li'l Russell! Sandra has bugs. Magic bugs, too. "I'm gonna work my magic and we're both gonna be here on Day 22 and Day 23," she promises.
The next day, Douche hangs out with Courtney and tells her about how much he hates who he is stuck playing the game with. Like, why talk to Courtney about that, Douche? You've been trying to vote her out forever and she knows it. You actually helped to screw her and her alliance over by voting for her. What could she possibly have to say to make you feel better? "I guess that maybe you feel guilty or something," Courtney says, adding that she's sure she's the next to go and has accepted her fate, so there's nothing more to say about it. Oh, except that this is all Li'l Russell's fault because people are too afraid to take a stand against him. Meanwhile, Li'l Russell was watching them speak and now sits down next to Sandra to give her the perfect opportunity to begin Phase 1 of her plan. He says he just saw Courtney talking to Douche. Sandra just shrugs and lets Li'l Russell keep talking, which he naturally does, saying that he doesn't care what Courtney says to Douche because when it comes down to it, Douche and everyone else will vote the way Li'l Russell tells them to. Well, except for the last Tribal Council when Douche voted for Courtney. Sandra says that's probably true ... but then, she also heard that Douche is going around telling people that he made a mistake letting Rob be voted out and now he wants to get rid of Li'l Russell to atone for it. Sandra then shuts up and lets Li'l Russell take the bait and work himself up about this, saying that he doesn't trust Douche, who is now "digging his own grave," based on the information he totally believes even though it's coming from someone with every reason to lie. Sandra runs to an interview to proudly tell us how Li'l Russell believed everything she said to him because he's "so stupid." "He don't know how to play this game. Yeah, he's done good so far, but with me, he don't know what he got himself into." And he won't figure it out for a while if ever, either, because Li'l Russell is too used to thinking that all women are weak, stupid, and slavishly devoted to him.
