Survivor Insider Presents: Catfight! Sponsored by the Hidden Immunity Idol

Two castaways get physical over clue to trophy's location in Heroes vs. Villains, and a famous flipper jumps ship

Talk about a reward.

Imagine you're a strapping single Castaway sharing a bed with two hot women who suddenly begin wrestling...wouldn't you want to join in? Not this guy. Engrossed by the search for booty (oh, the irony) in the trio's prize screening of Treasure Island, he had to drag himself away to mediate the fracas over a Hidden Immunity Idol clue.

In the end, his distraction cost him—and his alliance—dearly...

Because referee/film critic Colby persuaded Amanda Kimmel to sacrifice the clue to Danielle (and the Villains), Survivor's most experienced player had her torch snuffed for the very first time.

Always a Bridesmaid: The two-time runner-up may not have been completely honest when she said she's "kind of glad not to be a part of" the game anymore, but I'm inclined to agree with her. She's so obvious, and hasn't offered much in the way of entertainment. Except, that is, when Danielle "wrestled her to the ground and grabbed [the Hidden Immunity Idol clue] out of her hand." (That's Danielle's imaginary "edit," not what we saw on TV. Sadface.)

Survivor Shuffleboard: Thank you, Survivor producers, for the symbolism in tonight's challenges. Shuffling over to the other tribe was Candice—notorious for her mutiny in Cook Islands—persuaded by Russell's usual (yawn) trust-building Immunity Idol show-and-tell. I doubt Russell knows her history of flipping—she probably just reminded him of his Samoa blondie alliance. (But this time you can bet he'll stick with the brunette if he makes it to the finals.)

House of Cards: "The powerful Villains alliance comes apart at the seams," Jeff Probst proclaimed at the end of Tribal Council. Really? Parvati and Russell's alliance has the sturdiest foundation of them all, and the rest of the Castaways are spending so much time trying to knock them down that they are putting themselves at risk. The king and queen can only be toppled if someone else has a Hidden Immunity Idol (an ace, if you will) up their sleeve.

SURVIVOR INSIDER

Some Survivor stars just can't seem to stay out of trouble—or jail—lately. But while CBS can't control the Castaways once they leave the island, they do carefully scrutinize the contestants before the competition. Before departing for their exotic location, the chosen ones (and their alternates) hole up in a Los Angeles hotel, complete a battery of tests and try to guess who their fellow competitors might be among the other guests. Do you think Russell's douche hat gave him away?
