Survivor 4/27 Recap - Can You Smell What Terry Is Cooking?

**waywyrd** · 04-29-2006, 06:11 PM

Welcome to this week’s recap of ~~the Terry show~~ Survivor! Last week we watched as poor, incredibly constipated Bruce was carried out on a stretcher, writhing in pain. I felt awful for the old guy, but he’s pretty tough. Cirie won the reward challenge and chose to take Aras and Danielle with her, sending Shane into a fit of rage. Again. I’m thinking he’d throw a fit over pretty much anything at this point. Can you imagine this guy in a restaurant if the waiter brought the wrong order? I wanted the salad dressing on the side! Is that too much to ask for? IS it? Oh, and Terry won the immunity challenge. But that seems to happen every episode, doesn’t it? On to this week - will Bruce return and claim his spot on the jury? Will Terry win immunity yet again? Let’s find out...

They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Ha
We open the show with the members of Gitanos trying in vain to catch some fish. (Does anyone even use this tribe name? Seriously, it seems to just be

Terry versus the old Casayans. Nobody ever mentions Gitanos.) Terry is out by his lonesome fishing, while the rest of the tribe tries various bait. Until Shane pulls out a piece of wood (no, not that kind) he found on the beach that he calls his Blackberry. Seriously. The girls whisper to each other about the weirdness that is Shane, while he sits on his stump and sends “messages” to people. Now, some people think he’s acting, and some people really think he’s off his rocker. I personally tend to think it’s a combination of both. Just look at this guy’s face and tell me he’s not a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Doomed From the Start
It’s time for the reward challenge, and this one is a little tricky. The survivors are divided into two groups of three: Terry, Danielle, and Courtney make up one team and Aras, Shane, and Cirie are the second team. Poor Aras. The teams are chained to a rope and must navigate an obstacle course, unclip from the rope, jump across some “lilypads,” and retrieve a bag from an underwater chest. When all three bags have been brought up, they must reclip to the rope and go back through the obstacle course. Jeff tells them that the winners will get a trip to a private island where they will enjoy a barbeque feast, and the teams begin drooling. The chocolate cake would have done it for me. Terry’s athletic team has no trouble getting through the twisted ropes and get to the underwater bags quickly. Aras and crew are not so lucky, as he has to literally shove Cirie over obstacles. She really tries, but physical challenges just aren’t Cirie’s strong point. They eventually get into a tangled mess, and Shane looks like he has given up as Aras and Cirie struggle. Jeff tells them to get their asses out of the water (he really did!) and they manage to get untangled, but not in time. Terry and the girls are already at the finish line, and before they leave to stuff themselves they are asked who they want to send to Exile Island. The girls seem to defer to Terry, who wants Aras to go in hopes it will weaken him for the immunity challenge. Shane and Cirie head back to camp, and Aras hops on the boat to nowhere.

But Wait, We’re Not Done!
Before the winning trio goes off to their feast, Jeff tells them they have one more challenge for an individual reward. It’s the old slingshot and tile game, with the person to break their three tiles first winning. The prize? A brand spanking new 2007 GMC Yukon. Their eyes light up as they grab their slingshots and begin. Marbles fly, and tiles break. Danielle doesn’t do very well, Courtney comes close, but...you guessed it. Terry wins again. With a huge grin, Terry leads the group off to their waiting plane. They

arrive at the island and waste no time in getting the grill going, slapping the different meats on the fire. Terry also wastes no time in trying to gain some allies. Hey, I can’t blame him. He’s the Lone Ranger out there, with his former tribemates all gone. Courtney enjoys being on the winning team for a change, and seems to gravitate towards Terry, telling him she’s all for his plan of voting Aras out and taking the girls to the final three. Danielle hesitates, correctly seeing that she would end up third since Courtney would be the ideal person to take to the final two.

Back at camp, a clueless Shane is discussing strategy with Cirie. He sees the final three as himself, Aras, and Cirie. Cirie seems to have her own little alliance with Aras and Danielle, however, that Shane is unaware of. She tells Shane what he wants to hear, but confides to the camera that she wants Courtney gone first. Having placated Shane, Cirie takes off to go fishing, and I wonder how a nurse can be so squeamish about smashing a few snails for bait. Amazingly, she catches a pretty decent fish, and drags the poor critter all the way back to camp, squealing about it all the way. It’s Shane’s birthday, and she presents him with the fish, getting a kiss in return. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t let those lips anywhere near my face. Hell, I feel like spraying Lysol on the screen whenever he’s on my TV. The three reward winners come back to camp, and Cirie runs up to tell them about her big catch. They’re happy for her, but I’m quite sure they’re not interested in a fish dinner after stuffing their faces with all that barbeque.

He Said, She Said
The plotting continues as Terry and Danielle smash snails around the fire (is this all these people can find to eat?!). Danielle sees through Terry’s plan and calls him on it, telling him that he wants to take Courtney to the final two, since she would be the easiest to beat. Terry says he hasn’t really thought about that (yeah, right) and Danielle tells him that she won’t settle for third. Ever the quick thinker, he offers a suggestion that the two people who finish first and second in the final challenge would go to final two. Danielle agrees that it is a fair plan, as does Terry. Danielle goes off to tell Courtney about the plan, and Courtney takes it as a personal affront. Courtney seems to take everything as an insult. Danielle tries to calm her down, telling her that it’s the fairest way to ensure that nobody gets a free ride, and that sets Courtney off even more. I guess the truth hurts. Sneaky Cirie has been listening, and confronts Danielle after Courtney stomps off. She tells Danielle that Terry is playing her, of course he’s going to take Courtney to the final two. Cirie also recognizes that she comes in fourth in this little plan, and does her best to convince Danielle to get rid of Courtney now while they can. Of course, if she can do that, Cirie takes Courtney’s place as the most likely to be taken to final two.

Just Engrave His Name On the Necklace, Already
It’s immunity challenge time, and hopefully they didn’t eat too much that day, as they must hold a percentage of their body weight by rope while kneeling on a platform above the water. They will start with 20 percent of their weight, with the weight increasing after every fifteen minutes. Cirie gives her best “I’m screwed” look as Jeff explains the challenge. The survivors grab their ropes with both hands as the challenge begins, and Shane only lasts a few minutes, dropping into the water. More weight is added, and a sweating Cirie drops. Danielle is next, with Aras losing his grip and falling right after she does. Terry and Courtney are left, and Shane tries to cheer Courtney on, telling her that Terry is wavering. She does surprisingly well, but Terry refuses to give up and Courtney lets go. Terry wins that huge necklace for the fourth time in a row as the others shake their heads in disbelief. Hey, they don’t call him Captain America for nothing!

They return to camp and the various alliances talk about the upcoming tribal council. It’s getting hard to keep track of who has a real alliance and who’s just slinging BS. Cirie runs to tell Aras what’s been going on, and he appreciates her having his back. Cirie also tells Danielle that if she wants to be there tomorrow, she has to vote Courtney.

Blindsided. Nice!
It’s time to vote, and in comes Austin, a cleaned-up Sally, and.....Bruce! Yes, Bruce has returned, probably about 10 pounds lighter and looking a whole lot happier. They clap as he takes his seat, while Jeff asks his usual questions. Shane tells Jeff that they will have to eat one of their own tonight, and they cast their votes:

Cirie - Courtney
Terry - Aras
Aras- Courtney
Shane - Danielle
Courtney - Aras
Danielle - Courtney

And with that, a shocked Courtney’s torch is extinguished, and she looks back in disbelief as she leaves. Shane is left to wonder why the vote went as it did, and Cirie smiles smugly, having gotten her wish. Join us next week as Aras gets pissed at someone, Cirie gets busted, and Shane finds a wooden plasma TV on the beach. Too bad he can’t get cable out there.

Do they keep psychiatrists on the island? I hope so....waywyrd@fansofrealitytv.com

Hmm...I really didn't notice Aras at all this episode, which is odd. Well, by the looks of it, he's gonna get his ass plastered all over next episode. 'Mazin recap!
