Survivor: Samoa - It's Called a Russell Seed

Our evil quote from Evil Russell tonight: "I was born for this, it was what God made me for."

Is that being a douche? Thank you @god.

Anyway, Evil Russell gets an unexpected roadblock in his evil ways: Jaison!

SPOILERS AHEAD

Another combined immunity and reward challenge, another loss for the Foa Foa tribe.

For the reward, Galu's leader Dreads Russell gets to choose: Comfort (pillows, towels, etc.) or Function (pots and pans, camp stuff, etc.). He chooses: Comfort. Wah-wah-wah. His logic being: the "women" need to be happy. OK, anything you say Dreads Russell. I'm sure there will be dire consequences to this decision in the future. The women won't vote you off just because you gave them pillows.

Shambo is chosen to go to the Foa Foa tribe to spy and look for the Hidden Immunity Idol. The tribe likes her after she said her tribemates would rather do yoga than do stuff at camp. (Of course she conveniently left out the fact that she failed to catch fish and ruined the fishgear last episode).

Evil Russell had been plotting to get rid of Ashley after the last Tribal Council. He's calling it the "Russell Seed" -- planting doubt in everybody about Ashley. Anyway, this seed did not grow in Jaison's garden as he is adamant about getting rid of Ben.

The tribe is split: follow Evil Russell's suggestion or follow Jaison.

In Tribal Council, we get an amazing conversation about race between Jaison and Ben. Jaison wins the debate and gets his way. Ben is voted off unanimously. During the post-vote-off interview, Ben still believed that Evil Russell was on his side even if Evil Russell voted him off.

This actually gives me hope. Jaison FTW. But I don't know how long he will be able to fend off Evil Russell and the rest of the Galu tribe during a merge. While Evil Russell is clearly playing for himself and not the team at this point, Foa Foa is dead in the water. But anything can still happen. But they are down 4 players!
