-People seem to hate Parvati for some reason, I thought she was the most entertaining part of this episode. The love letter reading was gold. And her finding an idol is game changing. Kind of shocked she told anybody, but bringing in Danielle (and her boobs) was probably a good move. She quietly holds a lot of power and she could go very very far in this game. She won't win, because as I said people seem to hate her for flirting or whatever, but I wouldn't be shocked if she's sitting in the final 3.

Parvati won the last time there was an All-Star season, pretty much by doing what she's doing now.

Giving away two idols! And saving her alliance. That was an amazing move by Parvati that should go down in Survivor history. This has been a great season.

Just got done catching up. Damn NFL Draft.

-Parvati is absolutely brilliant. She saw right through Amanda (and for good reason, that was a weak sell) and played it absolutely perfectly. One of the boldest and most well executed moves I have seen in the short time I've been watching this show. I didn't think there would be a move that could top ousting Boston Rob, I was wrong. Just... wow.

-Thank God that shook out the way it did. The thought of an all-Hero final 5 bored me to tears.

Again, like a few weeks ago, if you're the guy who changes channels before the "Next Week On Survivor", do not click the button. You've been warned.

Spoiler

As much fun as that was, if Sandra does what the preview hinted at and flips, Parvati and Russell are screwed. And then after they're gone, Danielle and Jerri are screwed. Apparently giving someone an idol doesn't buy loyalty like it used to. Russell isn't going to like that he wasn't in control of the game, but if he doesn't get on board and find a way to keep Sandra on their side all his scratching and clawing to get to this point will be for naught. They can't afford to let their tribe divide, they have numbers. Unless they want to get stupid like the Galus in Samoa, a self-destruction that Russ saw first hand, they need to unify and pick off Heroes one by one. On the record, right now, I see Sandra flipping and Russell leaving. She hates him. I don't know that he can fix that, outside of another HII being put into play.

-Probst's mind as he's putting the necklace around Danielle's neck: "Careful. Careful. Don't touch the boobage."

-Speaking of Probst, he really shouldn't be trying to talk people into staying in challenges. If they want to leave, don't stop them.

-I'm sick of all the banana talk. It isn't interesting. As Russ said, stop worrying about that and play the game.

Parvati finally showed something this season, amazing move by her to give both idols away and expose herself to a vote. Having not seen next weeks preview, I have to wonder how they are going to keep Sandra from flipping because at the very least she is going to want to get rid of Russell, and I doubt Parvati giving her the idol really changes her opinion on the tribe. I know the villans feel like they are in a position of power but if they cant convince Sandra that she has a place in the tribe, which I dont see why she would believe that garbage, the heroes would have the numbers still anyways. At this point I think my only hope of a solid finale is if it boils down to an all girl alliance again as I dont see anyway Russell/Colby/Rupert get anywhere near the finale.

The Heroes missed their chance - when Sandra came over to Rupert, they should have all made an effort to turn her over, but they let it go. By the end of last nights episode, Sandra decided she needed to stick with Russell and the Villains alliance... for now. That, along with Parvati giving Sandra the idol should be good to keep Sandra on board for one more vote, which is all the Villains need.

I knew Parvati would be the end of Russell. He needs to drop the issue and just move on. He has to try and keep the group together long enough to get the numbers.

They should have dropped Sandra when they had the chance. I see why people want Parvati out, but they should want Sandra out more. Sandra is a lot more dangerious than any of the other women.

Russell was arrested!

I would bet sizeable amounts of money that as he was being cuffed he said to the cop "Don't you know who I am? I'm Russell Hantz."

Read that and supposendly it was all for nothing. Russell was partying near some bar he owns apparently and somebody told a cop that he had shoved a woman to the ground, the woman in question was actually partying with Russell and said that he didnt do it, Russell said the same thing but the cop said that because there was a witness he had to arrest him. Russell is now contemplating filing charges against the officers who arrested him.

"Don't you know who I am? I'm Russell Hantz."

Russell: "I dare you to hide the keys to the handcuffs. I'll find them. I'm Russell Hantz!"

Sundra from the Cook Islands was on CSI last week. So was Omar from the Wire. She played his wife.

Apparently she was also on Lost last week but I didn't recognize her there.

When was HvV actually filmed? Did anyone know what kind of player Russell was coming into this season? Lol. J.T. obviously wasn't given the memo. And that move by Paravati was epic.

It was filmed right after the other one. No one knows what they told the other people, but they had to of showed them something or told them about his game. People know his game, so something happened.

Re: *** Survivor: Heroes vs. Villians (Season 20) ***

I don't think they have any sort of clue what kind of game he played the first time around other than maybe what he might have told them himself.

[DrJones]

Re: *** Survivor: Heroes vs. Villians (Season 20) ***

They were told he'd gone far in his season and that he was worthy of being one of the top 5 villains ever. That's it.

Re: *** Survivor: Heroes vs. Villians (Season 20) ***

I'm not particularly sure why the Villians didn't just eliminate the unknown guy right at the start. Guess it's too late for that now.
