'Survivor: Samoa': Another one out and a crazy tribal council

Last Thursday's Survivor was crazy -- especially Russell the Unevil being medically removed from the game after fully passing out during a challenge. Usually when the game ends like that for someone and they don't do a vote at tribal council, it's pretty boring, but they came up with a new twist this time.

Even though no one was voted out, everyone came to TC and sat around the fire. First time that's ever happened, and it was a doozy of trash-talking.

I'm vacation-punting again and sending you to Jeff Probst's recap because he's got a lot more insight on all the medical drama. It's pretty interesting.

What did you think of the episode?

I feel for Russell S. He would have gone very far in the game. I was wondering why CBS just didnt give both sides pizza at the tribal council. It was neither side's fault that Russ went down with a medical problem. Yes, they were correct to stop the contest and send both sides back to their camp to get them out of the way.

I wondered about that as well Capt Jack. Seems like as much rain as they've had to endure, that's the least they could have done is given them a couple of slices of pizza. Hard butts!
