The show will be starting in about five minutes here on the East Coast. As it airs, I'll update this post with major news while sharing some opinions on what I see both here and in comments. Of course, the comments area is where the real party is! Everyone is welcome to join in, the water's fine! Oh. And bring snacks. Snacks are always good.
At least Matt is smart enough to realize he's stupid!
I find Rob entertaining to watch on the show. But why in hell are these fools trusting him? Don't they remember Lex?
Interesting multi-part immunity challenge -- digging up a club, untie knots, smash tile. First six move on. Eww ... submerge head in trough, go through obstacles, spit to fill tube. Three move on to puzzle. David, Grant, Mike in final round.
Rob looks nervous.
Grant wins immunity!
Huh, not a half-hour into things and we have Tribal Council?
Vote tally: Phillip, Phillip, Phillip, Phillip, Phillip, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike ... Mariano's Mafia does the kill.
Rob told us he wants the final three to be himself, Phillip and Natalie.
Second immunity -- hang from a bar as long as you can, after 20 minutes, by legs only. Cheeseburgers -- white rock, black rock. Black means play, white means eat. Phillip and Steve choose to eat.
Rob's out first! Down to three Ometepe women and David.
David is out! ("That leg's going to be decapitated!," Phillip told him.)
Andrea won after the other two jumped.
Rob told his tribe not to eat the dead fish that Zapeteras caught in a net. Grant nibbles. Uh-oh.
Second Tribal Council. Phillip still with his feather and funny stuff.
The vote tally: Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, David, David, David, David, David, David ... bye, David! Mariano Mafia hit will go swim with the fishes on Redemption Island.
Then there were three on Redemption Island. Interesting, ain't it?

Yay, its finally springtime in my hood. In honor of it, I have a big ole watermelon to share.
Diving in...
Can't believe I'm first. Howdy Jackie! :)
Waving! Yes, Matt ... you should feel naive and stupid!
Matt is so sweet and so gullible. What a shame!
We have a lot of watermelon to put away between two of us, lol. Hope some others show up. :)
Hopefully, if he makes it back into the game, he'll be wiser.
Hey all, only here for a quickie comment. They're showing too much Matt; I hope that doesn't mean he loses his next face off.
ML
Its probably too late for Matt to wise up. The rest of the tribe will always see him as expendable. :(
Just a quick check-in from San Diego and then I'm headed home. I'll grab some watermelon to take with me!
Ralph, you dork... that's the game of Survivor. You went in without the numbers. Duh!
Help yourself Laurie! :)
Only half of it is spiked, ;)
Oh God, SAM is going to get me drunk again. Love the feather.
Hey, all. Love watermelon! I still can't believe that they sent Matt back to RI.
I would like to pose a question. I think that anytime Phillip opens his mouth with some of his "stuff", even if it isn't SAM that we should drink!
Rob's probably going to get blindsided tonight. At least that's what the previews are leading to. Like this challenge, but I hate the water spitting part. Ewww
Hey!
*splash*
Great watermelon Monty!
Sure Becky... I'll just type from the floor. It will be safer that way.
So we can eat a slice of watermelon for SAM? Anytime he "Phillips-Out" on something, I'm drinking/eating.
I am getting a little "off" on Rob. If he spearheads voting out one of his own I will disown him.
Sweet for Grant. So hot and they barely show him. hmmm... he could go far, I think.
Yeah, let's go with a slice of watermelon this week. And save the drinking for SAM. Monty, I would hate to se you on the floor. And since I really am a light drinker I would beside you.
Yes, drink and eat all we want. Hey Petals!
Why do I find Phillip oddly amusing while I loathed Coach? Maybe Coach cried too much. I don't know.
It's so early. Are they going to have an RI duel tonight?
ML
Rob's showing his cocky side. Not good.
Rob's got 'em on lockdown. Fun-NY!!
Whoever gets voted out tonight will duel with Matt next week, no?
Its okay Becky, I have a long keyboard cord. :) Problem is, the couch will be blocking my view, lol. Phillip is my HERO, haha
Jackie - Coach didnt just boast & bluster. He also had that whole Dragonmaster/yoga/Zen thing that was kinda cheesy.
Bathroom buddies, is that really necessary?
I still dont know why everyone dislikes Matt.
DRINK!!
Who else is laughing out loud, for real???
Jackie, I agree on the Phillip/Coach question. I'm very amused with Phillip, but I was sort of with Coach too.
Hey, he's talking lore... I'm drinking.
Hello baby. xoxox
DRINK!!!
Phillip is a member of the family....he's the red-headed stepchild.
Mike is right on.
DRINK!!!!!!
DRINK!!!
I think so, Joyn. I don't think they have time to do that tonight and another tribal on top... but I've been wrong before.
Special Agent... DRINK
SAM!
We are not gonna be able to drive home after this TC.
I'm kind of tired of Godfather Rob, but it is kind of nice to see the morons who threw the challenge to oust Russell get picked off. They had numbers and they gave it all away.
SAM is saved! Thank you tribe!
Another week of SAM. I'll bring a bottle of my favorite port next week.
I liked Mike -- but it would be rather dull if Phillip went home. I agree that he is funnier to watch than Coach.
?!?!? Another vote?
BFJOE!?
They are fast-pacing this episode, aren't they? The duel and another vote.
Haha @Petals and I agree with you Joe. It serves them right and I believe we were all wishing for that the night they voted Russel out. Well, some of us. :)
Hi everyone! Just stopping by to drop off a cold case of beer because it looks like you need some!! SAM
Sue on the Left Coast
Sue, thanks! You'll see why, when you watch. Phil is tweaked.
I'd get along fine without Phillip, but he's just one of those WAMBER train wreck's that you love to have around for the blog.
Since they're going with the Godfather theme tonihgt:
Rob is the Godfather
Grant is Tom Hagen (the Consigliere)
and philip?
Philip is Lucca Brazzi.
Monty - you are so right! But I hope Crazy SAM doesnt cruise to the end!
Haven't been here in a long time. I miss the luxury challenges. I get bored with the one on one challenges to get back in the game.
I suppose Ralph and SAM are going to become BFF's by the look of this. Ouch!
Coach was supposed to show up to one of our Survivor viewing parties but hasn't made it yet...I really wanted to see if his head was bit as he thinks it is ROFL Most of the people that I have met that have been on Survivor or TAR are very nice and not on an ego trip.
Sue
Brent, LOL. Phillip is a better Fredo - the loony brother!
girls should do well at this.
LOL, Brent. Petals, I don't think he has a hope in hell to make it to the end. Just a hunch.
Why do they always choose the food? Do they not know that can be a sign of weakness? Ugh!
Did I miss the RI challenge? I went to get something to drink.
That HAS to hurt so bad.
When I was MUCH younger I could have done that.
Just joining the pool party and trying to catch up on the show. TiVoing through commercials and almost there.
Haven't read all your comments yet.
WTG girl power!
Phillip cracks me up.
So they are choosing to starve? Dumb.
Went back and read the comments. Brent, great 8:33 comment!
I bet that David bites bullet tonight.
Wouldn't it be funny if the winner at RI comes back in the game after the challenge.
geesh. Rob is in total control. The Boston Rob Show.
I am drinking!
Rob is coming on a little too strong with even his own tribe.
RI = 3 person challenge???
Oh, Phillip is getting me drunk AGAIN. :)
Probst loves to bait Phillip, LOL
SAM Stealth!
Thank you Jeff! Why sit out and eat?
I can't believe that Rob kept them from eating.
Hope they're smart and get rid of one of the Russell stabbers!
Yikes. I like David. Poor Steve.
The Godfather lives another day!
Did Zap ever win a challenge after they voted out Russell? Don't you know Russell is LHAO?
Jackie, can we spend the night? I think we had too much SAM toasts.
Yes, Becky. We have plenty of room here.
Rob is so entertaining... cocky yes and Phillip really spinning the tales!
If it gets down to Ometepe final six, Rob will be in trouble. Grant already getting restless here and if Matt comes back, he's screwed.
Now there are 3 on RI...HUH! Matt Mike and David or am I confused!
Could there be a final three of all girls? Those girls rocked the challenge tonight.
Oh great preview. SAM ramps it up a notch next week. Kissing my liver goodbye right now. :)
Night folks!
You're not Delee... I posed the same thought. That will be interesting. Probably not for Matt. :(
Sooner or later they're going to have to realize they need to mutiny Rob.
Thinking over the Godfather analogy in light of the second half of the episode, I'm beginning to wonder if Grant really is Tom Hagen. I think it's possible that he's Tessio instead and he just hasn't had the opportunity to express his inner Tessio-ness.
Brent - Too bad I don't have a "like" button on the comments!
Wonder if Zapatera has finally realized that in throwing a comp an making the joint, and poor, decision to get rid of Russell they totally shot themselves in the foot and it has been downhill ever since. They were just too focused on getting rid of a shrewd and wily player. And look what it got them. Serves them right. I'm not a Russell fan but the guy knew a thing or two about strategy.
Anon - Plus, Russell wasn't too shabby at challenges, either. They created their own doom.
Hi All
I can see a time when Philip and
Grant team up to get rid of Rob.
Rob has gotten for too cocky, allways like him
Times have changed
Estelle
I still say that Rob is playing an excellent game but, at this point, his cockiness may quickly be his undoing. Grant is noticibly perturbed about it. Ashley is making small moves without Rob. Grant may get into Phillip's head about getting Rob out soon and despite his SAM status, he seems easily led.
I'm having doubts that if Rob does somehow make it to the end, he will get the votes but he is playing a hell of a game and should win if he makes it that far. No one else on his tribe comes close to deserving a win. Just my opinion.
Wow, really excellent article on "Survivor: Redemption Island - 4/13 Episode Blog Party". Everyone will like it. I look forward more post from you. Thanks for sharing it.
