RECAP: With Russell throwing the entire game out of whack and now playing both games, as he was prone to do, he realized that it was about time to split up the sister duo that had been doing so well the entire game. When Elissa won immunity, he immediately began to target Rachel. Since they owned Russell for saving them last round, both Gordon and Jeff decided to vote with him. Julie, not wanting to be caught on the outside looking in when it came to the final five, decided to ultimately leave Elissa all by herself and join the men. Rachel was voted out and sent to the jury at tribal council.

With her back against the wall, Elissa knew she had to win immunity to stay alive. Sadly for her, Russell ended up winning his third individual immunity and putting himself in the final four. This left Elissa, Gordon, Jeff and Julie as the only ones eligible to be voted out, three of them being hosts. Two idols are still in play, and both WILL be played at the vote. Russell cannot be voted out. Vote for anyone EXCEPT Russell Hantz.
RECAP: Thanks to Russell winning immunity, it seemed all but certain that Gordon or Jeff would be voted out. However, since he's Russell and he does things that make people scratch their heads, he decided it was time to betray a member of his own alliance for no reason at all and send them to the jury. Using Gordon and Jeff's votes, and knowing that the plan was to split the votes between Gordon and Jeff to be safe, Jane was blindsided in a 3-2-2 vote and sent to the jury.

Elissa wins immunity and is safe from the vote. There are still two idols in play. Vote for anyone OTHER than Elissa.
RECAP: Thanks to the sister duo of Elissa and Rachel winning immunity, the downfall of the hosts would continue. Thanks to their alliance with Russell and Jane, and Julie being promised that she would be safe, the alliance of five looked at their four targets of Drew, Gordon, Jeff and Ryan. Julie wanted Jeff gone, since she hated the sexist jerk, while Russell wanted Gordon gone simply because he wanted to be the head male in the game. As always, Elissa, Jane and Rachel decided on who would go. While Gordon was a physical threat, his vulgar attitude annoyed everyone and the girls deduced that he wasn't a threat to win in the end. Ultimately, the girls forced Julie and Russell to vote out Drew and Ryan, since one was likeable and could easily fly under the radar to the end, and the other was using his gig as American Idol host to make deals with everyone. With that, two more hosts bit the dust as Drew Carey and Ryan Seacrest were sent to the jury.

Russell Hantz (Survivor Samoa, Heroes Vs. Villains, Redemption Island)
Seeing what was happening, Gordon and Jeff realized they were sitting ducks and needed to win immunity. Unfortunately for them, Russell started to show just why he considered himself the greatest Survivor ever, winning his second individual immunity and making him safe from elimination instead. One pre-merge idol and one post-merge idol are still in play. Russell Hantz CANNOT be voted out. Vote for anyone other than Russell.
That's right. My favorite color is what I just upgraded to. It's going to suck when I go to red, since I LOATHE the color. How sadistic is that of Tengaged? They give me my favorite color, only to make me upgrade to the one I despise most next? Mean! But, yeah, I upgraded once more and I'm very proud of myself. Little by little, continue climbing that Tengaged letter!
RECAP: With Gordon dominating the challenges and making himself very likeable among the remaining castaways, despite his foul mouth when agitated, Russell began to get upset and realized he needed to make a big move against the hosts. He planted a Russell seed in the weak-minded Elissa, who in turn forced her sister Rachel to side with Hantz as well. Russell then went and got Jane and Julie to be on his side, too, playing off Julie's hatred of Jeff to his advantage. Deciding to target the more physical threat Phil, Russell told Julie to lie to the other hosts about who to vote for, so there would not be a tie. It worked, and Phil, the Amazing Race host, was sent to the jury at the next tribal council.

Another double tribal council would soon happen. Amusingly, both Elissa and Rachel win immunity, making it so neither of them could be voted out. Two idols are still in play. You CANNOT vote for Elissa or her sister Rachel. Vote out TWO PEOPLE other than them.
I made my first final two ever in a Frookies, and I got robbed at the end. Mostly due to a bitter jackass who was holding the jury for three hours and voted out of bitterness, and a person who voted for his girlfriend because both of them joined the same game. Yeah, very fair. So, yeah, I'm proud of myself for making my first ever final two, but I got robbed by one vote and it hurts. But, I'm sure there will be more in my future; I just have to keep playing hard. I earned that win, but due to a girlfriend/boyfriend duo and a bitter fool, I was robbed.
Try and stay positive, right? There's always next time. I'm sure all of you have gone through a hard final two loss before, too. I'm just going to say that I got 1st place anyway, since that jury clearly did not know what they were doing. So, yeah, 1st place for me! Yay.
