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!
