Monty Brinton/CBSTonight, an evil opponent stole a page from the coach's playbook and cut an MVP from the roster.
Talk about bringing the pain...
Ouch. Saying farewell to Jimmy Johnson hurts. Yve wasn't exaggerating when she said his "soul is inspiring." Jimmy Johnson has such an aura of greatness that he positively glows, and when his torch was snuffed I felt like I was sacked by a linebacker...named Marty!
Hail Marty: Russell Hantz thought he was the puppet master, but he was playing with Muppets in Samoa compared to Marty, who is dominating "people that are definitely smart." Yet he's right when he adds, "actually not that many"—especially now that the tribe has sent home a brilliant strategist over weeble-wobble Dan, Insane Clown Holly and Jimmy "The Mouth" Tarantino. Before the start of the season, Jeff Probst told me he believed Marty would "go deep in the game," and if Espada continues to vote out its weakest members, keeping the Immunity Idol in Marty's hands, he's probably right.
TWITTER: I'm chatting/sobbing with Jimmy Johnson tomorrow morning, so tweet your questions to me @drumoorhouse and I'll try to hold it together long enough to ask them.
