Ooh, it's a double elimination tonight on Survivor: Gabon.  In the preview for this week's episode, Jeff Probst informs both tribes that they'll be eliminating someone.  Now, I've been a fan of the show long enough to know that double eliminations only happen for two reasons.  The first is that the season is boring, lacking any major drama, so Survivor looks to shake things up.  The second is that one tribe is destroying the other so Survivor looks to even the playing field a little.  Looks like we have a little bit of both going on here.  I predict a feast at tribal council for the winning tribe and they can sit in on the losing tribe's tribal.  Am I good or what?  We'll see as I update live through the next hour.  Keep refreshing and post your thoughts, too!

Crystal just spilled so much rice at the Fang camp!  Oh man, I'd go ballistic.  She feels so bad that she won't even eat now.  Why is Crystal always upset about something?  Right?

Corinne just said that Dan is socially inept and said that maybe he was a former fatty.  That is mean and semi-amusing at the same time.  I don't get everyone's problem with Dan at all.  He doesn't bother me at all.

Tonight's reward challenge is a good old fashioned game of keep away. The winners are getting flown to a yummy picnic. With Ace as a defender, I think Fang has a good shot... except for the fact that Kenny and Crystal are basically incapable of even throwing the ball to one another. Kota ends up winning, sending Sugar AGAIN to Exile Island. Ugh, Kota are such jerks sometimes.

Okay the location of today's picnic is so beautiful but I'd probably die of a heart attack because I hate heights. That cliff is ridiculous!! Oh man, they got letters from home, too. That's so cool. Bob is freaking out - he's so happy. I love him to pieces. I want him to adopt me stat.

So both tribes are going to tribal council tonight but it's individual immunity up for grabs. I smell that merge coming, don't you? In the challenge, tribe members will go face to face in a log roll, sometimes even facing their own teammates. Sugar, Ace, and Marcus are in the finals. Marcus wins! OH NO! He has to give immunity to a member of the opposing tribe. Oh, that’s big. LOVE SURVIVOR TWISTS! Sugar receives immunity. I predict Crystal going home on Fang now.

Ace asks Sugar for the idol because he must've gotten wind that Kenny is gunning for him.  Ugh, I don't want Ace to go home.  Fang is fighting at tribal over rice.  Jeez, Crystal is so defensive and unhappy in this game.  She's not very fun to watch.  Here are the votes at Fang's tribal: Ace.  Crystal.  Ace.  Crystal.  I'm SO NERVOUS!!!!  7th person voted out: Ace.  DAMMIT.  I'm so mad right now...

Kota seems to be set on voting Susie out.  I mean, it makes sense.  She's pretty non-factor physically and she'll end up being someone's important swing vote if she gets to the merge.  Dan and Susie look like tonight's targets.  As long as it's not Bob or Charlie, I don't care who goes home this week.  Susie just told Corinne she was voting for her.  WHY WOULD YOU EVER DO THAT?  That was the dumbest thing anyone has ever said.  You don't tell people you're voting for them unless you know you have the votes to back it up - which she doesn't.

Kota votes at tribal: Susie.  Dan.  Dan.  Susie.  Dan.  Susie.  8th person voted out: Dan.  Ooh, that's rough.  Kota is nuts.

Ace and Dan will be on the phone together tomorrow talking to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview.  That oughta be good...
