Jeff Probst rehashing what’s happened so far this season takes up the first five minutes. We hit the skip button 10 times, and Day 37 begins with some beautiful water shots contrasted with Russell walking down the beach with tree mail.

Balance, speed and patience are going to be required for the next immunity challenge.

Night 33 and Brett is giving Shambo a head massage – not an image we want to see. She looks like she’s having way too much fun with it.

Day 34 and Brett is spitting out bible verses, while Natalie enjoys having that in common with him. Shambo is talking about her hair, and Russell says: “She should shave her whole head. The mullet went out in the '70s …” Actually, Russell, it was the early '90s, but I digress. He then explains to the camera that Shambo stores food in her hair.

As the episode begins, Shambo is stunned about John being voted out. Russell tries to soften the blow by placating her, telling her whatever it takes to win. “This is too easy,” he says. Strange, no opening sequence tonight.

Day 31 and the tribe members are lying around the beach talking about Russell. Jaison tells the camera that he should win the million dollars. Jaison just sold Mick and Russell out by telling the tribe that Russell made $2 million last year.

It’s night 27 at camp, and the first word out of Shambo’s mouth is "Medusa" (referring to Laura). John explains to the camera why he switched his vote to Laura last episode. Monica is calling John the Judas of Galu and hopes he will go home.
Day 28 dawns and there’s tree mail. It’s time for the Survivor food auction and each member of the tribe has received money to buy whatever Jeff has to offer.

The show opens with more quotes from Russell:

“This might be one of my best pieces of work I’ve ever done. Take that to the bank.”

Then: “It was almost as great as my kids being born."

As the episode begins on Night 21, the tribe is talking about food, and Russell, concerned that he’s next to go, is hoping for a miracle.

Survivor once again welcomes you to Blindside City.

It’s Night 18 and Foa Foa is in a horribly inferior position with four people out of 12. Russell has some big idears about getting members of Galu to move over, and he’s “too good for this game and too sly.” And, he’s ready to plant his seed in the other dumbasses heads.

After last week’s tribal non-vote, the tribes head back to camp, and at Galu Erik is back in his tree -- then out of his tree, but not figuratively. The guys talk about bringing Shambo along with them in their male alliance.

At Foa Foa, the tribe is happy that Russell is no longer in the game. Sly Russell is planning to win the next three immunity challenges.

At Galu, the guys now want to nominate Shambo as the chief. That way, Erik says, she’ll be “as deep in my pocket as the lint in the bottom.”

Nice diss, Erik.

Tonight’s episode begins with the tribes appearing very cold through the never-ending storms. Jaison says he wants to find a heart, you know, like the one from that cartoon he has trouble describing. Russell on the other hand is enjoying the miserable weather.

"Survivor’s" fourth episode begins with Jaison going on another rant. He’s hungry and tired, but says, “It’s the worst decision I’ve made in my entire life.” Yikes. Is he going to quit? Russell is even questioning Jaison’s manhood (no, not that manhood). Russell pulls a Mick Jagger by saying he’s got it all under his thumb right now.

Shambo is not happy because “there was a huge appreciation for Shambo” at Foa Foa. Uh oh, is she going to be another person who refers to herself in the third person?
