It’s safe to say that if you’re reading a blog about last night’s episode of a Reality TV show, you must’ve seen the episode, hence, will be unaffected by the inevitable spoilers that are coming as a result. Right? Ok, then..

Survivor: Redemption Island has really been a hard season for me to grasp ahold of. It’s no secret that I’ve been meh on the whole Redemption Island twist, but things just keep getting weirder and weirder. You don’t return to your tribe after winning a Redemption Duel? Blowing challenges this early in the game is a good strategy? Claiming to have bowel issues is your best excuse for trying to get away from your tribe? Looks like we might need to rename this season: Survivor: Batshit-crazy Island or Survivor: The Russell and Rob Show. Oh, wait a minute…

Duel Numero Dos saw a battle between Orange’s Matt and Purple’s Russell. And really, I thought there was just no way in hell Russell would be the second person booted from the game for good. Right? Wrong! Matt had Russell hitting the dusty trail soon enough, with an epic showdown that finally snuffed the torch of Survivor‘s most renowned and hated villain. Ever. Must feel good, Matty. Lord knows I’m sick of seeing that filthy little Hobbit’s face. Let’s move on and pretend he never existed in this season at all. Agreed? Great.

Rob finds the idol. Surprised? No, of course not. After finding the clue hidden within the seam of a chair last week, it was only time before Boston Rob nabbed that precious little idol. Rob is steps ahead of this game. Although I don’t think he’ll win, or even come close, it’ll be interesting to see who takes him out and how. I used to intensely dislike Rob, but now he’s OK in my book. Though, he’s no Stephenie LaGrossa.

Kristina lands a spot on Redemption Island, which sucks for her but doesn’t really affect me that much. At the start of the game, she was sitting pretty. Smart woman, hidden immunity idol in hand. But she trusted the wrong person and that guy (crazy Phil) blew up her spot. She plummeted…and fast!

Can she beat Matt? What madness do Russell’s little lackeys have up their sleeves? When and how does someone actually redeem themselves!? Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? TUNE IN NEXT WEEK.
