Season 20: Episode 08: Expectations

The tribe has spoken.  Dick is asked to leave the pool immediately.

After the immunity, the Villains return to their camp, and wash off their mud-caked bodies in the ocean.  While the rest of the tribe appears utterly defeated, Coach boasts on his stellar performance.  “Everybody’s down, everybody’s hurting, everybody’s nauseous, and The Dragon Slayer is just coming into his own,” says Coach.  “I feel full of energy, and it’s time for me to shine…off into the horizon,” he continues.  Although Coach ultimately wishes to get rid of his arch nemesis, Russell, he feels that is would be more appropriate to get rid of Courtney, his tribe’s weakest link.  Russell is still dead-set on ousting Coach, but Danielle advises him against it.  “We have a chance [at winning] if we have Coach,” says Danielle.  Russell yells at Danielle for being irrational, and storms off.  After allowing himself some time to vent, Russell has a change of heart, and decides that it would be best to vote off Courtney.  Parvati and Danielle are befuddled at Russell’s inconsistency, and still hope to oust The Dragon Slayer.  “You never know what’s gonna happen between now and when the sun goes down,” says Courtney.

TRIBAL COUNCIL

At Tribal Council, all eyes are on Courtney for her lackluster performances in challenges.  Courtney fights back, but harsh words are still thrown her way by Coach, who views her as the weakest link who continually demoralizes the tribe.  With this, the tribe members cast their votes, and with four out of the seven votes cast against him, Coach is voted out.  Benjamin “Coach” Wade, the 38 year-old from Survivor: Tocantins became the ninth person voted out and first member of the jury of SURVIVOR: HEROES VS. VILLAINS.

Next week on Survivor, what Jeff calls the dumbest move ever in the show's history.

Quote of the week:  from Jeff “Everybody drop your… expectations.”
