I Love Survivor!

I am not sure how many of you are Survivor fans, but I have always been hooked on it! Tonight's episode had to be one of the best! For those of you who don't know this season is Fans vs. Favorites. It started out as Fans on one island and the Favorites on the other island in Micronesia. They compete in reward challenges (for fire/shelter/food/ect) and immunity challenges (keeping someone safe from elimination). The winning team of the reward challenge gets to send someone from the losing team to exile island where you spend the night by yourself with no food or shelter and then they rejoin their team at the immunity challange. The good thing about going to exile island is there is an individual hidden immunity idol there to find. If you find this you can play this at tribal counsel if you think you might get voted out. The person with the next highest votes would be sent home instead. Well Ozzy (who you either love or hate, I happen to love him!) was sent to exile island early in the game and I swear he is part fish, and has lungs of a whale. It took him a while to locate the idol, but he didn't give up. He created another fake idol to replace the real one in hopes that the next person sent to the exile island would find it and think its the real thing. He carved a little face in it and tried to make it look authentic. It wasn't as good as the real one, but hey it was a great strategic move on his part. Well, Jason (a Fan), was sent to exile island and low and behold he finds the fake immunity idol that Ozzy created. He seriously thought he was a leg up on everyone. Well, tonight they merged the two tribes into one meaning now that instead of team immunity you are fighting for individual immunity. Each for their own now. Well, Jason ended up showing Eliza (a favorite and his alliance) the idol that he found, and she was convinced that it was fake because it didn't look like something the real idol would look like. She was convinced Ozzy had the real one. At the immunity challenge Jason won immunity so he was safe from being eliminated everyone else was up for grabs. Eliza told Jason that she should try and use it tonight (because she thought she was going home) and see if its the real immunity idol. At tribal counsel everyone had casted their votes and Jeff (the host) asks if any has the hidden immunity idol and would like to play it now would be the time. Eliza reaches in her backpack (and Ozzy is just grinning) and she pulls out the fake immunity idol. Jeff proceeds to explain the meaning behind the hidden immunity idol, and then said that this was not it. Eliza jumped up and yelled that Ozzy has it then, and that he created the fake one. She grabbed it from Jeff and threw it in the fire. Ozzy still laughing, and James cracking up was hilarious! When Eliza threw the fake idol in the fire Ozzy said "Come on, that took forever to make!" As he was laughing. Eliza ended up being sent home. But if it was the real one Ozzy would have been sent home. It will be interesting to see how Ozzy will use this now, and how the others will use this information. Makes for an interesting Survivor. I tried finding a clip so you all could see it for yourself, but they must not be posted online yet. If I find a small clip I will put it on here because their faces are priceless.
