Dumbest Move in Survivor History

Erik the ice cream scooper made what has to be the dumbest move in Survivor history, if not reality tv history, by agreeing to give up the immunity idol to the women and promptly having every one of them vote him off. What a moron!

Survivor Convention Planned

Survivor: Fiji's Yau-Man Chan says that CBS is organizing a Survivor convention for die-hard fans of the show. It's geeky, but at least Survivor is a current show on tv. Trekkies dress up in their Spock outfits and go to Star Trek conventions when that show hasn't been on the air for who knows how many years.

Rob and Amber Promise a Huge New Project

Rob and Amber Eliminated from The Amazing Race

"The Amazing Race" took a dramatic turn Sunday night as the powerhouse reality show couple Rob and Amber Mariano made a series of costly mistakes in Chile and Argentina and ended up being eliminated much sooner than anyone expected.

The couple won three legs in a row and it seemed like they owned "The Amazing Race: All-Stars" until they lost to Charla and Mirna.

The kiss of death was Rob's misspelling of Philippines on a placard by adding an extra L and omitting a P.

Yul Wins Survivor

Last night, Yul Kwon won Survivor. On Thursday's show, Ozzy Lusth won immunity. Parvati nuded up in a hot tub with him to try to flirt her way to the final five, to no avail. She was voted off.

On Sunday, Ozzy won immunity again, and Adam was voted off. Then, in the final four (Yul, Ozzy, Sundra and Becky), Ozzy won immunity again. The group decided to vote two for Sundra and two for Becky. A tie is broken by a fire making contest. Neither could start fire with flint and steel. Sundra could not start a fire with matches. Becky took forever but finally started the fire with matches and went to the final three.

Becky was seen as a follower, so she had no chance of winning. The jury focused their decision on a choice between Yul's puppet master strategic ability versus Ozzy's physical challenge ability. In the end, Yul won by one vote.

Survivor Update

Update on Survivor and reaction to the three finalists/nine jurors format.

Jonathan Voted Off Survivor

On Survivor, the reward challenge involved the cast's family members. Parvati and her father won, and her father chose Adam and his dad and Sundra and her mom to go for a field trip. While they were gone, Ozzy, Yul and Becky decided to hide food from the others to make them weaker and to punish them for not helping provide for the tribe. However, they ditched that strategy when the three returned from the reward with a lot of food for the rest of them. Jonathan wore out his welcome this week, and the tribe voted him out at tribal council.

Survivor Richard Hatch Appeals His Tax Cheating Conviction

Survivor winner Richard Hatch has appealed his conviction for cheating on his taxes, sticking to his goofy story that he caught the producers smuggling food to other contestants on the show and that they bought his silence by agreeing to pay the taxes on his million dollar winnings. Couldn't he have come up with a more convincing lie than that?

Candice: No Off-Island Romance with Adam

Candice from Survivor says she and Adam are just friends and that there is "nothing off the island."

Survivor Update

Do these cast mates not remember past Survivor auctions? They were each given $500 and the ability to bid on items such as food and mystery items. Jonathan was aggressive, winning a hot dog and pizza. Many of the others sat back and never upped their bids very much and were left with nothing when the auction ended, yet they still bad-mouthed Jonathan for being so aggressive. I think they were all holdinig back waiting for some super item to be available, thinking that the auction would continue until everyone had spent their $500. I am not sure why Yul showed the hidden immunity idol he found on exile island. Some of the less bright cast members still didn't seem to think he had it. Adam isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, so it was surprising that he won the math-oriented immunity challenge. Parvati still had not seen a fish being gutted until this episode. Jonathan called her a "lazy, selfish girl." Host Jeff Probst had a great line when snuffing out Candice's torch, saying about Adam, "Maybe if it were love, he'd be giving you the immunity necklace." Adam has already hit on Parvati once; we'll see if he does it again now that Candice is gone.

Candice Voted Off Survivor

The tribe voted off Candice Woodcock on Survivor last night. The main controversy stemmed from the five who do all the work deciding to eat all the fish that they caught and cooked while Candice, Adam and Parvati cuddled and slept. The three were upset that the others did not share, and Candice made a big stink about it. Jonathan squeaked by again, despite being disliked by the whole tribe. He has more personality than the others, annoying though it is, so I hope he stays on the island a while longer.
