rice or death? well that's easy - rice (but cake would be better)! so much ado about rice. a couple seasons ago we had special agent phillip squawking about getting a scoop of the crispy, now i think this season's contestants would be happy to get a scoop of anything. skupin is eating uncooked rice - wha??? doesn't he know it's more filling if you COOK it first? it grows like, double its size! duh. and why hasn't anyone in the tribe done anything to stop him? quit your bellyaching and DO something or else you have no one to blame if you have no rice to eat.
reward challenge time - a gigantic field of mud & a huge rubber band ball - gladiator style! it's like the groping game with mud.
why does carter have perpetual stank face, even while probst is describing the yummy food rewards? meanwhile malcolm just looks GOOOOD.
how much you wanna bet abi-maria sits out AGAIN? oh no, she didn't. trickery! oh wait, it's so she can sit out during the immunity challenge when winning really counts.
so penner has his arm pinned up against skupin's junk - owwie that looks, um, uncomfortable. he looks like he's up to his elbow in skupin's ass. i think they got more than they bargained for when they designed this giant ball mud wrestling challenge.
they've been watching both teams sleep on the ball for an hour...and it's only the first point in the challenge!
WHAT?! probst is saying they can negotiate their way out of a challenge? and a tribe that "supposably" wants to get rid of penner is now depending on him to catch fish because they've given up all their rice? what the what? crazypants. and the worst part? abi didn't have to compete - again.
now tandang is feeling stupid. you should! they just found out they gave up the reward challenge for the world's smallest bag of rice. i guess they should have asked how much rice kalabaw had left before they made this idiotic deal. whoopsie!
since i love food of course i have to talk about the reward spread a little bit. A HUGE plate of brownies, three gigantic sandwiches - avocado, bacon & turkey penner tells us, i could eat that now! - chips, ice cold drinks and a covered bowl of who knows what (apparently it was soup, according to probst's pre-challenge description. how come there's no soup-love from the survivors? I loves me some soup!).
they're in the philippines, how come there's no pancit? where's the kare kare or dinuguan? they could have at least served some lumpia, everyone likes lumpia!
and to round out this love fest of a reward, there are also loved ones letters. i'm guessing that if tandang had known that, it would've been a no-go.
hey guess what? penner can't fish - unless you count those two little angel fish he brought back to camp. he's no ozzy, that's for sure. oh snap.
#immunitychallenge time! time for abi to sit on her ass and pretend everything is beyond her control. and time for some more katie bashing by probst - does she have any chance of surviving a tribal council vote with all this negativity? is probst lying? no. but no need to make her seem more pathetic. in this challenge, malcolm is the hero and sends kalabaw to tribal council again. mmmmm, malcolm *slurp, slurp, drool, slurp*

so who will go home today? carter tries to say that tandang's awesome strategery ("they knew exactly where to aim the ball") is why malcolm kept catching the ball. i'd say it's because carter has the upper body strength of a 12 year old girl. and then he asks penner if he wants to vote "katie or penner" - hilarious idiot! equally unsmooth is penner with katie, since she smells his "let's vote denise" BS a mile away.
carter is confused. that's a shocker.
tribal council highlights:
- according to katie she has no strengths to offer or reasons to keep her except "I've been here the whole time"
- probst asks jeff if he's played any other game (like baseball, perhaps??) that requires strategy. ha ha, love probst! and the look on jeff's face is priceless.
- it looks like jeff hurts probst's feelings when he tells him survivor sucks.
- penner said ODDgitation. where is he from?
- seeing the smirks all around when penner doesn't play his HII would lead me to believe that penner is being voted out. you can't trick me, survivor editors!
- and katie is voted out. bye bye katie! so happy that denise hasn't had to scramble at all since joining this tribe. go matsing!
but as yummy as malcolm may be, no one beats mr. dimples himself, jeff probst in the yummi-ness department. dawson agrees and she's not crazy at all.
my apologies for the lateness of this post but we've been busy with hurricane sandy preparations. stay warm and safe everyone!
