This week on Survivor, the hungry, exhausted people lose two challenges to the well-fed, well-rested people, and Ravu continues to purge itself of women. Do we really need to say more? Well, okay. Yau Man and Earl collaborate on trying to find the idol, to no avail. A reward challenge involving Sumo wrestling is an even bigger joke -- given the tribe's completely different physical conditions -- than most challenges are at this point, and Moto smokes Ravu and goes home with a haul of stuff. At Couch Camp, Alex and Edgardo suddenly realize that all the other members of their alliance are big dumb jerks, and that Cassandra and Dreamz are being treated like so much sneaker-sole poo, and are therefore sure to bail as soon as the merge comes, which will be a problem even if Moto loses no one from here to the merge. Stacy and Lisi are enormous bitches and don't get it, and Boo is a plain old idiot and doesn't get it, so Alex and Edgardo are seriously beginning to rethink their positions. At the immunity challenge, Ravu finds that the mind grows fuzzy when the body is unfed, and they lose again, though they actually come very close to pulling it out. Brief consideration is given to getting rid of Rocky, which is what they should do, but instead, they just continue peeling off the women, this time getting rid of Rita for talking too much. It's not a great season to be a woman with a mind of her own. In fact, between the smug bullying and the ridiculously stacked deck in challenges, it's not a great season in general. It may be the first genuinely bad -- as in, genuinely not entertaining -- season the show has ever had. Whee!
