Noooo, Jaime’s no Jessica Simpson. Not her. She’s SMRT smart. So, that was possibly the Most Entertaining Tribal Council Ever. (It’s definitely been an interesting “results” week for reality tv, hasn’t it??) I’m not sure which was more entertaining, Jaime playing her “hidden immunity idol” or James’ unmitigated glee the entire episode just thinking about her possibly using it. Or Jeff carefully detailing all the rules, then tossing it in the fire. It was almost satisfying enough (and I liked her!) that I wasn’t totally upset that JimBob didn’t head out.

The good: James’ joy. Frosti winning immunity with his self-professed “bad memory.” Todd being the national spokesperson for Survivor. The short bike in the back? Okay, I laughed.

The bad: Jaime saying she was too nice for this game. Hunh. I guess she forgot about throwing the challenge and digging through James bag. The other bad? Well, Jim Bob, of course. Duh.

The ugly: See above. Threatening Our Todd. The nerve. (Loved that Todd was totally unfazed by him.) And honestly, who does Jim Bob think he’s going to intimidate on the jury into voting his way? I’m pretty sure that everyone will shout a hearty hurrah when JR leaves, possibly even building a statue in honor of the person responsible for it. And if telling everyone on the jury that Todd is a little back stabbing weasel surprises ANYone by the time this thing is over…yeah. I know. Todd has been so hard core since the begining, I think they’d be more shocked if he didn’t. Everyone there knows he is in it to win. Period. So please, put JR on the Samantha Bus home. Or even the short bike. Ha!

In other news, tribes merge, and for the most part nothing really changed, so I’m glad it was an enjoyable episode anyway. Next week? Oh no, don’t target James! No, Todd, no!

So…yesterday was actually National Author’s Day. I did not know that. I wish I had. I’d have lobbied for more time. I mean, shouldn’t it then be a law of some kind that an author gets an extra day to turn her book in if her deadline falls on a National Holiday? I mean, the cruelty of making a deadline be on National Author’s Day. Seriously. It’s like having your birthday on National NO CAKE Day!

Okay, time for some winners! Check out Lucy Monroe’s blog to see the winner from my Monday blog challenge. (Link in Monday’s blog.) So who won the SHaQ Attack contest? I asked you to name Erin MacGregor’s hero. The answer? Dylan Chisholm from The Great Scot. A slew of you got it right, but you’re Fabulous Blog Babes, so of course you did! But there can be only one fabulous winner. And that is…….Phyllis from Idaho! Woooooooot!

As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I am taking a long weekend with my son, so I will return next Wednesday with all the Dance MAC you can stand! After this week’s shocking elimination, it should prove to be an amazing and interesting week of competition. I’ll cover both Dance Night and Results Night in Wednesday’s MAC. Who do you think is going to go???

In the meantime, have a safe and wonderful weekend. And don’t forget, you get an extra hour Saturday night!!!
