I promised to write about Survivor on Thursday, whoops! All in all, it wasn't that eventful. Ravu kept losing -- including a reward challenge that Sylvia was completely useless in and an immunity challenge at which it appeared to some people that Anthony had given up. (The former had a slip-n-slide quality to it that looked pretty fun. That latter was a gross food challenge, and in his defense, it was pretty clear that Anthony was going to lose his round. I wouldn't necessarily have gobbled down as much pig snout as I could, either.)

(Side note: I'm watching the pre-Oscars coverage on E!, and I just saw Former Vice President Al Gore and Former First Lady Tipper Gore standing around waiting to talk to ... Ryan Seacrest. That was a little surreal. Ha! Ryan asked Gore who should play him in a movie, and he said William Hung. Nice American Idol reference, Al! Also, WHAT is Jennifer Hudson wearing on her shoulders??)

So Sylvia was sent to Exile Island and got more clues about where the immunity idol could be, and after she got back, she started trying to dig around camp for it.

About the only screen time Moto got was when Gary was having a shortness of breath issue and the medics came. Seriously, what do we know about the personalities on Moto? Hardly a thing -- I guess the down side of winning all the time is that there isn't much drama, so a lot of the footage ends up on the cutting-room floor.

The other major thing that happened was that Michelle got a fire started for Ravu. She was about the only person in the history of the show who has gotten a fire going without flint.

In the pre-tribal-council scrambling, it appears most of the tribe is leaning toward Sylvia. Then Mookie talks about being angry about Anthony's performance and persuades others to vote for him. Rita doesn't seem to like where things are going and says she won't be going along with the tribe.

When the votes came in, it was a pretty even split between Anthony and Sylvia (except for Rita's vote for Earl), with Sylvia going home. Thankfully. She was bossy and unhelpful in challenges -- not a good combination.

Here's hoping the fire begets water, which begets more energy for Ravu, so they can stop losing all the time.
