Perhaps it's appropriate that during 'Cal Week' (sick of hearing about that yet?) that Russell and his Lionesses should be ruling Survivor. My life is surrounded by 'lionesses'. I am not at all a lion. I am like that mane-less brother of the head male that they take in and keep around half out of pity and half out of the entertainment value I bring to the pride.
The Heroes have been tricked to believe (by some pretty weak reasoning) that the Villains are run by an all girl alliance I affectionately call 'The Lionesses'. Why that name? Well we all know that in nature the male lion is not the king legend makes him out to be. The female lions are the ones who actually run the pride. They do all the hunting and keep the male around to prevent other males from sniffing about for sex. The ladies control procreation when times are good and will boot any male who assumes otherwise to the shade of the next tree.
But doesn't Russell run that alliance? Yeh, he does until they are tired of him and Parvati (who I don't know if I love or hate but boy that devious mind of hers' impresses me. She is Russell's twin separated only at birth - when they each killed half the babies in the nursery before escaping into the wild in opposite directions) decides he has to go.
She has done two things he has never done - survived 100 days on this show and WON it. The first you can't expect from Russell since he was found late in the cycle of shows but the other he needs to lay claim to if he wants consideration as the greatest one to ever play the game.
What does one say about poor J.T? At first I was thinking that bumpkin was some kind of Hillbilly genius with the way he schemed to protect a person on ANOTHER tribe with a hidden immunity idol. That was until Russell showed the love letter J.T. had written to him to Parvati. I felt as bad for him as you do for a buddy who drunk dial's his ex at 3 a.m. and leaves a message on her machine.
Russell even got the man love on his side. Truly any child conceived between a union of Russell and Parvati would be the anti-Christ. I am not judging. I am just saying.
Finally they got rid of Courtney who had to go. I really really hate to see the girls who become skeletons on that show. I know the culture claims that is beauty but to me that is one of the most horrid images of a human being that I can see.
Coach continued to impress with the outfit he wore to the elimination ceremony. He may look, act and BE goofy but he goes 'full retard' with his beliefs so he has my respect. It's not an act.
