Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains - Tonight, We Make Our Move - Recap

Here's a quick recap of tonight's episode of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains.

(Unfortunately, my DVR acted up again, and the Tivo did not backup. However, I got the gist of what happened unlike last time...)

At the beginning of the episode: Why is Coach being such a drama queen? Oh yeah, because he is. Sheesh. It's a game. I guess some people in the world just take themselves too damn seriously. Entertaining though. The I'm the toughest guy in the world bit and then crying afterwards when he doesn't get his way is still good TV.

Reward Challenge: Win some Sears merch. And a great excuse to oil some Survivor bodies.

It was close, but Villains win reward!

Somehow in the stash of both camps, a clue to the hidden immunity idol comes up.

Evil Russell said he made a mistake because everyone saw the clue when he should have kept it. I think he looks for the immunity idol and was confronted by Rob or Sandra -- but my DVR blacked out this part.

Over at Heroes, JT reads the clue -- and then everyone goes out looking for it. Tom finds it, but Amanda saw him take it.

Some planning now between Tom and Colby on how they can use the idol to get back into the ins with their tribe.

For the Immunity Challenge we get the same challenge from last season that Good Russell fainted on and was evacuated from the game. Glad that they were able to reuse their setups.

I thought it was close, but it just seems that the Villains are just more in sync with each other than the Heroes. Villains win immunity!

And now politics in the Heroes tribe:

Tom and Colby try to make an alliance with the 'powers that be' -- meaning JT (as the swing vote in everything), Amanda and James -- to get Candice out and let everyone use the immunity idol (perhaps against the Villains).

Amanda reports to Cirie. Cirie is adamant and refuses. Rupert agrees with Cirie. (Logic being in a numbers game, you stick with your numbers).

Unfortunately, JT witnesses this and makes the deciding move in the tribe yet again.

Poor JT. He literally is making the decisions on this tribe.

He reports to Tom and Colby and they hatch their plan to take the leader out herself: Cirie. The alliance will split their vote to ensure that either Tom or Colby leave just in case the Idol is played, but if JT flips then they could take Cirie out.

Tom's soundbite as he was voting for Cirie: "You are way too good wrapping these weak minds around your little finger." True! James is not smart and Cirie even said Amanda's not using her head.

At tribal council -- a lot of chat with Jeff Probst as usual, and Rupert gives us a dose of honesty. He is only honoring his alliance for alliance sake and not to keep the tribe stronger to beat the Villains. How sad. I like these guys, and they will now be too decimated to have a fighting chance against the Villains when the merge happens.

After the vote, Tom uses the immunity Idol and Cirie is voted off - thanks to JT.

Wow.

Go JT! Still rooting for ya!
