Episode Report Card Sara M: B+ | 4 USERS: B- YOU GRADE IT Titanic
By Sara M | Season 20 | Episode 12 | Aired on 05.06.2010
The tribe arrives at Tribal Council. In walk our jurors, Courtney, J.T., Amanda, and Coach. That's right -- I called him Coach! No more Douche for him after I saw the Ponderosa videos on CBS.com this week and witnessed the music video for his band, the DRAGONZ (featuring Courtney and Coach on vocals and J.T. on guitar). If you haven't seen it yet, you need to watch it right now. It's basically the most awesome thing Survivor has ever done. EVER. Probst asks Rupert what the "fall out" was after Amanda was voted out. Rupert sighs that they realized there were "only two Heroes left" in the game. And that would be him and Colby. Not Candice. Rupert makes sure to spell that out as Candice rolls her eyes. Candice says it was "obvious" that Amanda was going home regardless of how she voted. "The numbers were already there," she claims. Rupert and Colby know that's not true and that, with Sandra, they would have had the numbers, but to their credit, they don't sell Sandra out by saying so. Or maybe they just forgot. Colby says he doesn't "respect" Candice's "excuses." Candice says it wasn't going to get her any further in the game to "go down on a sinking ship." Colby says she just should have said that she thought this was her best play to win one million dollars. Um, I think she did just say that, didn't she? And even if she had said that at the time, Rupert and Colby wouldn't be any less furious with her now.
Probst asks Li'l Russell if Candice's move, by which she probably put herself on top of Rupert and Colby on the totem pole, was a good one. Li'l Russell says it was the best move Candice could have made. Probst asks if that means it'll be Rupert or Colby going home tonight. Li'l Russell says he has no intention of getting rid of a Villain, so it'll be Rupert tonight. Probst asks Rupert what happened at camp when they returned following the immunity challenge. Rupert says he "calmly went for a walk in the jungle and stayed until [he] felt comfortable." Aw, look at Rupert trying to hard not to lie now that he's called everyone else out for lying in this game! His reputation and maintaining public adoration really is more important to him than a million dollars. Weirdo. You can buy plenty of public adoration with a million dollars. Probst asks Li'l Russell if he thinks Rupert or Colby has the idol. "If they don't, then they gave up. And I don't think Colby or Rupert would give up," Li'l Russell says. INCORRECT; Colby would and already has given up. Like, multiple times every episode.
