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
Danielle interviews that it's obvious that they need Douche and should vote Courtney out tonight, but Li'l Russell freaked out when she pointed that out. She says he thinks he's in control of this game and everything must go the way he decides. And you chose to ally with that, so whatever, Danielle. Sandra talks to Courtney about how she thinks it might be difficult to convince Danielle to vote for Douche over Courtney. "She's such a competitor," Sandra says. Plus, she overheard part of Li'l Russell and Danielle's fight. She interviews that she doesn't know which way the vote will go tonight and can only hope that it works out the way she planned. Then Li'l Russell scampers back over to Parvati and Danielle and says he "might have a change of heart." They might need Douche at least one more time after all. "I think we should vote Courtney," he says. NOOOOOOOOO! Courtney is hilarious! We need her! I need her! Parvati interviews that her alliance can't make a freaking decision and stick to it. "That's a problem," she whines, although clearly she has no desire to actually solve said problem.
The tribe arrives at Tribal Council. Probst naturally wants to address the fact that since they got rid of big strong men like Tyson and Rob, they have been on a losing streak. He asks Danielle if she regrets voting them out now. She says a whole lot of nothing, concluding that they did what they thought was the right thing at the time. Probst points out that Douche was the only person who got a point for the tribe in today's challenge, to which Douche does a hilarious "ah," pretending to be humble and embarrassed by this when in reality he is loving it. Probst continues that, when it comes to a physical challenge, "99 out of 100 people" would choose Tyson or Rob over "say, Courtney." Well, 99 out of 100 people would probably choose Tyson or Rob over Jerri, too. Or Sandra. Or Parvati. Or Douche. Or basically anyone left in the Villains tribe right now. But way to single Courtney out like that, you asshole. "No disrespect," he then says to Courtney. "Thank you, Jeffrey," Courtney says, rolling her eyes. Jerri and Parvati, sitting behind Courtney, very much enjoy this. As do I. Courtney is awesome! Has anyone every called Probst "Jeffrey" before? He tries to convince us that he's right to call Courtney out, saying that she sat out "the majority of the challenges." Well then, it's not really her fault if the team loses the majority of the challenges, is it? Maybe they shouldn't keep having reward/immunity challenges that make it so that the Villains are able to sit Courtney out several challenges in a row. Courtney says that's what her team decided to do and she doesn't need to feed her ego by participating in challenges. And she was just as against voting Tyson and Rob out as Probst apparently is. "I'm sad that they're both gone, but insulting me isn't gonna bring them back," she says. AHAHAHAHA! She totally called Probst out for being in love with big strong men. "It's not meant as an insult," Probst says; "it's just one person's observation." Oh, fuck you, Prost. It's totally meant as an insult because you hate female players that you perceive to be weak in this game, which is pretty much all of them. Also, you aren't one person casually observing the events of the show. You're the host and a producer, so your "observations" have weight behind them and can unfairly influence someone's vote. "Boston Rob was dominating," Probst continues, totally about to cry. "I AGREE WITH YOU," Courtney says. "But Danielle just told me that's why you voted him out!" Probst whines. "I DIDN'T VOTE HIM OUT OF OUR TRIBE. The tribe voted him out because he was not in the dominating alliance," Courtney says.
