I am – Hercules!!


“That’s not much of a coach if you ask me!”

A weepy Coach, who in the prologue refused to stop telling his insane stories, has inspired me to stick up a post for tonight’s “Survivor.” Which could use the plug with “American Idol” siphoning off its reality mojo.

He’s the last of the Mohicans AND King Arthur!

And by the end of the reward competition Coach is talking about "The Dragonslayer" again.

"There's no way I can get a clue to the hidden immunity idol and not find it," boasts Russell Hantz, who found more than his share of idols, with and without clues, last season.

But Rob, who never saw Russell play, and never played during a hidden-immunity-idol season, classifies Russell a "bonehead."

Meanwhile, back in heroland, Tom does a terrible job hiding his found idol.

Cirie wants the strong people on her tribe gone.

The reward challenge is the aborted one that nearly killed black Russell last season.

Russell still hasn't found an idol. Producers must have tired of his bloodhound-like acumen last season and taken pains to hide the villains' prize exceptionally well.

Despite Tom's hidden idol, Candace has a great plan to break up the Tom-Colby alliance. Tom's plea to JT and Amanda could turn things around, but Cirie tells Amanda she's nuts to keep strong players like Tom and Colby around.

Why doesn't Probst ask for the hidden immunity idol before he reads the votes?

Nice job of misdirection, producers!! Did NOT see that ending coming!!
