like destroy this message after reading by throwing into the Tribal Council fire like a Bob Crowley fake idol.
And lets begin with the following question:
How did we get tricked by two 25-year-old surfers?
Ryan
I think thats a query a lot of viewers are asking themselves after watching this latest double-shot ofSurvivorepisodes.

To be honest, the bulk of the credit goes to only one of those surfers.
Ashley just kind of seems to have been in the right place at the right time.
She hasnt done anything wrong, but we havent seen her do anything right either.
But then theres Devon.
Mr. Jeff Spicoli No Shirt No Shoes No Dice himself.
I liked Devon the first time we met him back in episode 1.
Looked like a good dude.
About a million times better looking than I have ever been or will ever be.
Honestly, I wasnt sure he had the strategic chops to even spell strategic.
I still stand by that assertion.

Joe was walking around like it was a Fijian Christmas, thinking his arch-nemesis Ben had been blindsided.
By the way, how exhausting are all the Knights of the Round Table references on this show?
I guess it could have been worse.
Or, Its really hard being out here alone onSurvivor.
(Seriously, sorry about that.)
So big props to Devon do people even say props anymore?
for a strategic masterstroke.
Its one that may help pave the way to a million dollar check.
But before we do, double-check to make your voice heard!

You tell me!Go vote hereand we will reveal the results before the finale.
Feet are just kinda there.
They get the job done.
at the top of his lungs.
(Go back and give that final lightsaber battle between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul another look though.
Its the best lightsaber fight scene in anyStar Warsmovie.
It feels good, announced Lauren with all the emotion of someone reading an online bus schedule.
Of course, Ben did credit the letters for giving him more fuel to play the game.
(Wait, did he burn the letters as fuel to stay warm or something?)
The former Marine then stumbled onto an idol clue, which in turn launched him onto a new objective.
My mission now is to get this idol!
You think Im joking, but Im not.
The idols just keep on coming.
You all know I am normally aghast when folks choose food over competing.
Anyway, thats how I normally feel.
I do wonder what it says to your alliance-mates, however.
In any event, the one person from that new final-four alliance who did compete, Ashley, won.
JPs Last Stand (Wait, who is JP?
)Man, JP was boring.
I cannot stress that enough.
He made for truly yawn-inducing television.
And let me be absolutely clear about something: That is not a dis on the guy.
I bet JP is a totally solid dude.
He just didnt make for particularly interesting TV.
Yet the fact that he was so unconcerned with making interesting TV makes me kinda like him.
God, its good.
Of course, I was a bit confused as well.
Because why take out JP?
Sure, hes good in some physical challenges, but only some.
Why not take out Chrissy here?
Maybe they were worried Ryan would share his idol.
I mean, Im not saying Ben Driebergen is the second coming of Meryl Streep.
But hes not Tommy Wiseau either.
Orange Hat AlertNice to see Probst bust out the orange hat for the final two challenges.
Im going to go ahead and just skip the second reward one for the most part.
(Hey, I dont come up with these things.)
(Recap continues on page 3)
The challenge is cool enough.
If you dont win you will be at risk.
Some might say you would be helpless, or powerless, or even defenseless.
Of course, if you win, you would be the opposite of that.
Hmmm, I wonder what that word could be?
It sure would be INVALUABLE if I could figure that out.
I guess we should also make note of the open cheating once again happening on a puzzle.
Not even open, but encouraged!
Devon stepping back to look at Chrissys puzzle, said Probst.
All is fair inSurvivor.
That totally makes sense.
I dont necessarily like it, but I get it.
Lets not forget: Theyre making a TV show, ladies and gentlemen.
And it certainly does not qualify as unfair since the same rules apply to everyone.
It may work against you in one challenge, but then help you in the next.
So it all basically evens out.
(Unless you dontneedto do it, in which case, youre a genius!)
I may hate it, but I would TOTALLY copy off someone else if I were out there.
I would just have to hope I was copying off of someone smart…like Chrissy.
And maybe he would.
Would they do it, though?
But Joe didnt scream or holler (or holla, for that matter).
He took his lumps in stride.
They definitely got me, he said in his final words.
Kudos to them and Im looking forward to seeing whos in the final three.
Good for him for leaving game animosity in the game.
Its not personal, just business.
Look, I have no idea what living on the island with Joe was like.
My best guess is that it may have been something of a nightmare.
Just imagine a tribe with Joe Mena and Tony Vlachos together.
(SurvivorGods, yo make this happen.)
So kudos to Joe.
He delivered the goods, even if he could not deliver himself a victory.

Are you psyched or sad to see Joe go?
And whos your pick to win from everyone left?
