Sorry this is so late. But once again, I could barely watch since it was basically focused mostly on one person.

This week's episode of Survivor: Samoa was . . . a huge disappointment. And one I'm not gonna recap. I'm sorry, but I'm just . . . not. This season's been going down the tubes fast ever since the editors and producers chose to make it The Russell Hantz Show. Hell, the show's been falling since at least Cook Islands with all the recruits being cast instead of deserving fans. So for the first time since I started watching this show, I'll be checking out. Yes. That's right. Checking out of a season of Survivor.

I'll still keep myself up to date as to the reward wins, immunity wins, and, most importantly, the vote-offs. And yeah, I'll keep track of the final winner, too. But other than that, this season's taken such a bad turn, I don't think even the most surprising of turnarounds in strategy will save it. Especially since it's so obvious that Foa Foa getting the bulk of the focus (via editing) means that they'll somehow get the upper hand come the merge, and that the winner will come from their tribe.

So I'll just be brief this week and all following weeks. At Foa Foa, Russell H. did more self-back-patting, this time for Ashley's boot, which he had nothing to do with at all. The whole tribe had wanted her out. Liz was firmly on his radar now for knowing about him having the hidden Immunity Idol. At Galu, Russell S. started feeling weak. The two tribes learned that both of their tribes would be going to Tribal Council after a challenge. During said challenge, Russell S. collapsed and made several people -- including Probst himself -- think he was dead. He was simply overly dehydrated, but it was so severe, he was removed from the game via medical evacuation. Because of that, neither tribe would go to Tribal Council. That's the gist of it.

Thirteen castaways remain. Who'll be voted out next week? We'll see then!

Russell S I liked at the beginning. But after the power went through his head and the way he denied Shambo the feat, it knocked him down a notch with me. Despite not wanting him to go down in flames. Also he should had taken a survey on who wanted tarps or blankets. Not decide for the tribe himself. Really I won't lose any sleep over him being gone. Because he really got arrogant in the end. And in the process, paid for his arrogance. Sorry but that's the truth.

Didn't like that he went out that way, though.

I actually saw this episode because my parents were watching it when i went to visit them. I agree this season has been horrible. I too have decided to check out, ill just keep up todate from you...assuming you will still most small recaps? There has been so many things wrong about this season, first being the lasrge cast IMO and next being Russell H. I agree so may of the people casted are just wth. CBS has some serious issues when it comes to casting for their reality shows. Anyways i was sad for Russell S. he seemed like a genuine guy and i hated for him to go out that way. Anywyas im close to being all caught up on the blogs, got to go to class now, will finish up tonight!
