Survivor: Kaoh Rong...tai tai tai what did you do?

So week before last, there was a medical evacuation and that's pretty much all that happened on the show. A few players were oozing but only Neil was sent home by the medical team. He will be on the jury.

Last week, the episode was like many others in the past: the men start to feel that the women are planning an all female alliance...which of course THEY had not even thought about and rarely carry out on this show.

But no, the plan is to stick with the plan and vote off one of the original Brain members. Everybody clear on that? Yep. Aubry feels she is doomed. Then, in a classic Survivor mistake, Nick feels the need to huff and puff and let everyone in on the plan including the brain members. Sorry, it's your time and this is just how it has to be. We're strong and you gotta go. But I'm just trying to be up front with you (pats himself on the back).

Aubry, Debbie and Cydney finally do discuss an alliance. They give Julia and Michele something to think about but it doesn't appear there is anything strong in the works. They go to tribal with the idea to stick with the plan.

Tribal is the usual talk about keeping the original alliance strong. Blah blah blah.

Next section ripped from Entertainment Weekly because I loved this description:

"And then something truly bizarre happens. Probst asks Tai if there has been any talk about idols. Pretty standard boilerplate query. And Tai begins by repeating his claim that he didn’t think there were any idols. Okay, no problems there. But then he suffers a massive brain freeze — maybe from all that ice cream he ate courtesy of the Kaoh Rong Creamery? — and reveals the existence of the super idol! What in the name of people who tie themselves to a chicken is going on here?!? Another classic example of saying WAY too much at Tribal Council. First Jenny back in week two and now this? Tai tries to lamely backtrack, but the damage is done. "

Debbie is quick to tell Julia to think about what just happened and how left in the dark she has been. Also, to think about her position in line with the men.

Rut roh.

Nick was the next victim of a blindside and the satisfaction of the players, plus those of us at home, was sweet. He didn't even carry his belongings to tribal he was THAT confident.

This is the ugliest "Survivor" I have ever seen! (let's gaze at your sores and open wounds, shall we?)

I predict someone with tattoos will get the check!
