Oh baby, when you talk like that you make a woman go mad. So be wise and keep on reading the signs of my body.

So today was a little crazy. In between talking with my friends, getting feedback on an essay that I spent an hour working on (and it was surprisingly good feedback), and having a routine dermatology check-up, I barely had time to catch my breath.

But, of course, I managed to catch "Survivor" and my memory is still pretty fresh about what happened.

At Galu, Shambo continues to feel alienated from her tribe, especially since she was the only person who didn't vote against Yasmin. Shambo has always bugged me from the start, so I hope Galu pulls together and eliminates her.

At the Reward Challenge, each person from the tribe has to drink a smoothie filled with disgusting seafood. I personally already hate seafood, but some of the stuff that was blended was just repulsive. I am VERY surprised I didn't throw up during it (altho the only thing I'd throw up would be decaf coffee with chocolate-caramel creamer).. I guess my friend Cheryl put it best: I'm strong and beautiful. Even tho I look like a teenager straight out of the late 90's (I'm thinking Neve Campbell during the Party of Five era?).

Anyhow, Galu ends up victorious after Ashley of Foa Foa is unable to hold hers down. Jeff tells Russell S. to send one person from his tribe over to Foa Foa, he chooses Shambo for the second consecutive time, which doesn't sit well with Shambo.

When she arrives at Foa Foa, she shares the clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol with everyone and searches for it, not knowing that Russell H. has already found it. Liz talks to Russell about how she doesn't trust him, and of course, Russell being Russell, he targets her for elimination.

The Immunity Challenge is won by Galu after both Russell and Liz put up a good fight. The 6 of them huddle close together in their shelter to avoid the rain, so there isn't much strategizing going on.

At Tribal Council, everyone talks about how hard it is to play the game, and trust issues. In the end, Ashley is unanimously voted out 5-1. I liked Ashley. She was a ray of sunshine in my lonely world, never stopped smiling, even when she got voted out. Peace out Ashley, and never stop smiling.

There's my recap for this week. Another great person who does Survivor recaps is Stephen Fishbach, runner-up of last season. He talks about the more stategic moves of the game and his posts are very witty. You can read his latest entry here.

And before I officially sign off for the night, I want to give a shoutout to one of my favorite contestants this season. His name is Brett Clouser and he's a t-shirt designer from LA. I've talked to him on his Twitter and he's an absolute sweetheart. And he's always got nice things to say.

Now I'm gonna sign off for now and watch Private Practice. One of those shows I fell out of touch with but am getting back into.

Love y'all,
