Episode one of Survivor 20 Heroes versus Villains!  YES!  So amped we’re finally back to a healthy dose of Survivor on Thursday nights!  And if that isn’t enough, it’s a conglomeration of all our favorite stars and the best part yet, The King is back on the island!  You know it, King Russell has arrived for his second shot at becoming the ultimate survivor and folks, you don’t really think Russell is out to disappoint, do ya?

So to start things off the survivors were all helo’d in and dropped off their hueys smack dab in paradise.  They were separated into their respective groups and Probst began the welcome aboard “Q & A.”  Nothing new here really just typical questions about their thoughts of their tribes whether they were on the right or wrong tribe.  A few comments about their previous games and things the survivors felt they did wrong or right.  James was looking huge but admits he needs to fear the talkers in the game which did him in last go around with 2 idols in his pockets…  Jerri admits yes, she is right at home on the villains.  Russell is in awe of those around him and happy to be given the opportunity to play others who respect the game.  All in all nothing too unexpected on the beach but first things first baby, lets line em up for their first challenge!

The first challenge which would be for the fire reward was called Battle Dig.  The object was for 2 survivors from each tribe to run down a lane and stop in a designated area digging for a bag hidden under the sand.  Once they got the bag they would need to run back.  This was an extremely physical competition which truly brought the competitive nature of these survivors out in an instant.  Stephanie in fact got her arm dislocated from her shoulder by Parvati.  Russell looked like he was attempting to break Tom’s leg after that occasion and Sugar got her top ripped off while running to the finish with her bag.  When the dust finally settled, the heroes won the first challenge.  Happy happy joy joy seemed to be the theme for the heroes from this point on in the show.

In the aftermath of  Battle Dig, tribes headed off to their camps to begin setting up for the stay.  As one might expect, the king quickly set about working his women approaching both Danielle and Parvati with his end game contract in blood deal with the devil.  Parvati recognized it as such but at the same times said she welcomes a deal with the devil.  Both Danielle and Parvati are on board with becoming the king’s first loyal subjects Parvati noting how much of an incredible force that Russell is in the game.

Meanwhile at the heroes camp,  Colby was crying because he got beat out in the Battle Dig by Coach and the rest of the camp was frolicking all about.  Amanda Loves her tribe full of good energy, good aura, good karma and Tom finds 4 chickens meandering about.  He rounded up a few fellow survivors and used the fish net to capture them.  A most impressive deed for sure!  Rupert gets ecstatic watching his crew thinking that perhaps his team won’t hit the wall in the first five days which are surely the toughest.  Its good to be a hero!  Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Day two rolls around to find Coach pining away over Jerri while Courtney sees romance and thinks Jerri is in love with the dragon slayer.   Both Jerri and Coach are content to team up but don’t want to let their bond become a hindrance to their game.  Russell lays it out for Coach telling him ya don’t step away from love it it hits ya, you go grab a hotel!  Boston Rob is simply annoyed that no one appears to give a shit about doing anything and goes off to make fire out of two sticks.  Randy tells him he’s crazy, it’ll never happen only to wind up helping Boston Rob make fire!  Awesome job by the villainous!

Day two for the heroes involved a bunch of allying and teaming up with JT allying with everyone; James, Cirie and Amanda allying; Tom and Stephanie allying.  Rupert spends most of the morning trying to make fire believing that it can’t be done with his flint and steel shaving off most of the magnesium  while Cirie just sits and watches his ego.  Rupert gives up taking a walk while JT and Colby come over to make the fire in two snaps.

Later that night, Sugar tries to hook up with Colby who is totally not down with that walking off whenever she would try and cozy up with him.  As a side note, on twitter, Sugar has mentioned that she wasn’t interested in Colby and had in fact hooked up with JT before going to the show.

Immunity Challenge is next on the agenda and its a big one.  Lock, Load and Light is the title of the challenge and it involves the tribes building a raft, floating it out to grab a torch and back where they take the boat apart and begin working on a puzzle upon completion of which they would use their boat parts to build a ladder up a wall to light their tribes cauldron, whew!  The challenge started out with the villains behind, putting their boat together was taking them to the point of panic.  Once they did manage getting it together, they were at an extreme disadvantage barely making it to the halfway mark before the heroes were taking their boat back up the beach.  However, once the heroes got to the puzzle they were screwed.  Rupert was just standing there looking off into space at who knows what, while the two girls Cirie and Amanda were in a state of idiocy.  Meanwhile Boston Rob was kicking some major ass making up and destroying any advantage the heroes had gained on the water.  The villains blew the heroes away on the puzzle, made their ladder, and won immunity for the tribe!  Happy Happy Smackity Smack!  On cue Sugar begins opening up the flood gates sobbing which Probst quickly noted in case it was missed.

After the loss, Rupert mentioned the obvious that the villains needed the win and the heroes were cocky.  Meanwhile the maneuvering begins in the heroes camp to choose the first victim.  Everyone seems to be going with Sugar, until Tom brings up Cirie.  A very wise choice to bring up Cirie indeed, as lately in these games don’t you just get tired of seeing the powerhouses taking each other out while the floaters float to the end and take the game?  I sure am.  Tribal council is largely uneventful with Probst asking his normal questions focusing in on the puzzle fail and Sugar’s emo outburst.  In the end the votes were tallied 6 for Sugar and 1 for Amanda.
