My life will never be the same, cause boy, you came and changed the way I walk, the way I talk, I cannot explain

So, tonight, it's Thursday night. That means it's time for Lily to recap this week's episode of Survivor.

The majority of the Aiga tribe except for Shambo voted out Erik, so things are a little stirred. Laura thinks that Russell made a dumb move by playing the Hidden Immunity Idol when no votes were cast against him. I actually kind of agree with her, but still, you never know.

At the Reward Challenge, the tribe is split into two teams of five, with Natalie choosing a side. The purple tribe of Dave, John, Monica, Kelly and Shambo prevail over the yellow team of Russell, Mick, Brett, Jaison and Laura. They win a trip to a rock slide and a picnic. While on their reward, Monica discovers a note that indicates that the immunity idol has been re-hidden at camp. They agree to share the info with the former Galu tribe, but not to tell any of the members of the former Foa Foa.

Back at camp, Russell is determined to find the immunity idol, without any clues or knowledge of there being an idol. And sure enough, he finds it again. I gotta give it to Russell: as much as I dislike him, he IS playing a very good game. He shows the idol to Shambo, who conspires with him to vote out Laura.

The Immunity challenge is won by Laura for the second consecutive time, which once again ruins Shambo's plans to vote her out. Russell talks to the former Foa Foa members about voting for Kelly, seeing her as one of the strongest players in the game. Dave talks to the former Galu about voting out Russell for being a strategic threat.

I didn't hear much of the Tribal Council discussion because I was arguing with my brother (who wasn't being very nice to me). But the vote proceeds. Before the vote, Jeff announces that if anyone has the hidden immunity idol, and they wanted to play it, to do so now. Russell announces that "he ain't done playing yet", and plays the idol again. This time, it works. The seven votes cast against Russell by the former Galu didn't count, leaving only the votes cast by the four Foa Foa members for Kelly to count, and she is blindsided by a vote of 4-0. I didn't have much of an impression on Kelly. She seemed cool. Kinda laid low, but sometimes that works. So peace out Kelly. Looking forward to seeing what you have to say on the jury. Jeff announces that the idol will be re-hidden again. And judging by the preview for next week, the former Galu will do anything to see that Russell doesn't get it this time around. We'll see.

So there's my recap. Comment or whatever. I'll see what else I'll have to blog about during the week. My 20th birthday is coming up, so I'll definitely do a recount of the events of my 19th year too.

Love y'all,
