DISCLAIMER:
This is a personal fan-site,
it is non-profit, and is in no
way affiliated with CBS, SEG or Mark Burnett Productions, or any other entity involved in the creation, promotion, or other aspects of the television series, "SURVIVOR".  Most of the pictures were taken from the official CBS websites for "SURVIVOR" and "The CBS Morning Show".  This site is purely for the love of this series and means no harm nor ill to anyone.

If you haven't seen it in a while, I urge you to watch the comedy film, "UHF",
starring Weird Al Yankovic.   My favorite character in the movie was the
martial arts instructor.  Weird Al produced a TV game show around him,
called "Wheel Of Fish".   When contestants made bad choices or gave wrong
answers, the guy would start yelling at them, "STUPID!!!  YOU ARE SO
STUPID!!!"  As you will see, this is quite relevant in this week's episode of
"SURVIVOR".

We begin on Night 33, back at Camp Dabu.  Amanda is still trying to convince
folks she was not lying about not finding the Hidden Immunity Idol (HII) on
Exile Island when she was there.  She did find the clues that enabled her to
find the HII on Dabu Beach.  Cirie was most shocked by Amanda's play of
the idol.  She must have felt left out since Amanda had confided to Parvati
about the idol.

Day 34 and we find Erik and Natalie discussing Amanda.  He is upset about
her trashing him at Tribal Council.  Erik wants Amanda gone.  He tells
Natalie that he wants to go to Exile Island, next.  If he finds the idol, AND
then wins immunity, he may protect Natalie.  Cirie talks with Parvati about
Erik and Amanda.  They see the need for those two to make peace.  So,
Amanda goes and chats with Erik.  She still wants to be allied with him.
Erik seems willing and they make a pact to take each other if the reward
should involve food.  They also agree to send Parvati to Exile Island.

It's time for the Reward Challenge.  Instead of "Wheel of Fish", we have
"Wheel of Seasons".  Each contestant stands behind a podium with a
large wheel built into it.  On the wheel are logos from each season of
"SURVIVOR".  First to get four correct answers to questions wins a heli-
copter trip to a resort for a massage and a meal.  The winner may take one
player with him or her, as well as decide who goes to Exile Island.  A new
idol has been hidden, but is ONLY good for the next upcoming Tribal
Council.

First question was which season did a contestant have a pet snake?  The
answer was Pearl Islands, where Rupert had a snake named Balboa.  Erik
and Amanda get it right.  Second question was which season did a shark
bite a contestant, who then bit the shark back?  The answer is the All-Star
season, where Richard Hatch encountered a shark.  Natalie and Cirie get
it right.  Third question was which season did a contestant need someone
to pee on him or her?  The answer was John from Marquesas, which only
Erik got correct.  Fourth question was which season did a castaway fall in
a fire and had to be med-evac'd?  Australia and both Erik and Cirie got it
right.  The fifth question was which season began with four tribes?  The
answer was Exile Island.  Natalie, Cirie and Erik got it correct.  Erik wins!
He selects Parvati to go to Exile Island and chooses Amanda to go with him
on the reward. 

Back at Dabu Beach, Natalie is pissed off that Erik took Amanda.  She tells
Cirie how they had a deal to send either one to Exile Island.  But, instead,
Erik sent Parvati.  Natalie smells a rat.  "If it smells and looks like a rat…",
begins Natalie.  Cirie finishes with, "...feed it some cheese."  LOL!  Cirie is
enjoying watching Natalie stress out over Erik.  It only gets worse when
Erik and Amanda buzz them overhead in their helicopter!

In route to the resort, Erik and Amanda are enjoying the sights.  He tells
her that he is glad he took her.  He wanted to make up for past sins.  At the
resort, they enjoy their massages.  They then share a moonlight dinner.
Erik confesses that he has a hard time making tough decisions.  Oh-Oh!

Day 35 and Parvati is chillin' on the beach at Exile Island.  She's on vacation!
LOL!  Parvati isn't even wasting any time looking for the HII.  She figures
that with her there, nobody else will have it and she has confidence in her
alliances.  Back at Camp Dabu, Natalie is still bitching about Erik.  She's
more bitter than folks in Pennsylvania!  HA-HA-HA!!!  Erik and Amanda
return from their reward trip.  Cirie playfully gives them a hard time while
Natalie completely ignores them.  Later, Cirie talks with Erik about why
Natalie is mad at him.  He says he knew he would piss someone off with
his choices.  Natalie overhears Erik tell Cirie that Amanda and Natalie are
the big threats and both need to go.  He wants Parvati and Cirie to be the
Final Three with him.  Natalie gets even more pissed, if that is possible!

Day 36 and Cirie talks with Amanda and Natalie about Erik's strategy.  They
decide to play the gender card and vote him off if possible.  Erik overhears
them complaining about him.  He talks with Amanda about why he is dis-
liked?  She explains that he needs to choose A side!

Immunity Challenge time!  Use ropes to find three bags of puzzle pieces
buried in the beach.  A plank at the beginning gives coordinate clues for
the first bag.  Assemble that puzzle and it gives to coordinates for the next,
and so forth.  The last bag of puzzle pieces will spell out a phrase.

Erik gets his first bag early.  Then Cirie gets her first, followed by Amanda.
Erik solves his and goes for his second.  As Cirie starts to dig for her next
bag, Natalie finds her first.  Amanda starts digging for her second bag as
Erik finds his and assembles it.  Natalie digs for her second and Parvati
finally finds her first bag!  Erik gets his third bag and assembles the last
puzzle.  "GUARANTEED FINAL FOUR".  Erik wins immunity!

Back at camp, the ladies discuss how Erik worked them all.  They scheme
a new plot.  Natalie will try to convince him to give her the Immunity Necklace
and together with Cirie, vote off Amanda.  Then they will boot him off!  LOL!
So Natalie talks with Erik.  He is reluctant to hand over the necklace.  She
tells him Cirie will ONLY go along if he does.  He talks with Cirie, who tells
Erik that she will only trust him if he makes the public gesture and gives
Natalie the Immunity Necklace.   He needs to go out on a limb.  LOL!  Erik
thinks about it!  NOOOOO!!!  He then tells Natalie and Cirie that he is con-
cerned that Parvati has the Hidden Immunity Idol and may give it to Amanda.
He'll only go along if they vote for Parvati instead.  Natalie and Cirie agree. 
OMG!!!  DON'T DO IT!!!

At Tribal Council, Erik begins with how he wanted to redeem himself by tak-
ing Amanda on the reward with him.  Parvati says she had a nice vacation
on Exile Island and was glad she wasn't around when Erik tried to play
everyone.  She spills the beans about his under-handed deal-making.  Erik
tries to defend himself.  But Amanda then jumps in and both she and Parvati
attack Erik for his wishy-washy alliances.  Erik wants forgiveness.  He's
worried that The Jury hates him.  Cirie tells Erik that redemption does help,
but action, not words, are proof. 

Erik thinks about it, and decides to give Natalie the Immunity Necklace!!!
NOOOOOOO!!!  The ladies are all smiles.  The Jury is astounded!  It's
time to vote.  Erik votes to boot Parvati.  The Ladies boot Erik!  The Jury
laughs!  Erik exclaims, "You guys drive me crazy!"  James speaks up from
the jury bench, "I've lost my reign as the dumbest survivor!"  Hahaha!
STUPID!!!  YOU ARE SO STUPID!!!

SPOILERS:  Three days left to decide who wins.  Season Finale is Sunday!
