This week Mark and Jeff mix things up with TWO individual immunities while there are still two tribes.  But that wasn’t the only thing done in twos this week.

Two lame ducks fight it out in the Hero’s camp as James (crippled by an injury) and Colby (crippled by being a ripe old 35) try to figure out how to stay on the island in a feat that would even make Ty Pennington call wussy.  We love both these guys but come’on guys — grows some pairs.

In Villain land, the two super-alphas, Rob and Russell, piss in the corners and on each other (figuratively) as they battle each other.  As strong a player as Rob is, compared to Russell, Rob, too, is going to make Ty Pennington scratch his crotch just to make sure this break out epidemic of Barney-group-love isn’t shrinking his testicles.

In the end, Tyson go home as Russell pulls off one of the most ballsy move with a hidden immunity idol ever.  He Povarti his secret idol despite the fact he has been told he will be getting lots of votes — and he did it with “honor” to his alliances.  And, ironically, James — the man who did the very worst hidden immunity trick [took the home with him after he got voted out] was sent packing this week, too.

Picks

Mike:  Reward: Heroes, Immunity: Villains, Voted Off:  Colby

Our break music is “Deep Six” from Her and Kings Count’s 1609 CD ’cause there were those who were buried and there are those for whom graves are being dug.  One can smell the death in the air — should be great TV.

They make us laugh, introduce us to various guests, they share their stories about their lives - the good and the “not so good”, they make us think.  Two of the best, most-listened to podcasters, Keith Malley and Chemda, have conquered the next medium - they have written a book, “What Do We Do Now?  Keith and the Girl’s Smart Answers to Your Stupid Relationship Questions”.

We talk with the authors about their careers, including how they got into podcasting, their book, comedy and singing.

The book is candid and presents different points of view on many common questions.  They tell you the “real” answer - keeping it humorous but informational.  It makes for a great gift for the couple celebrating a milestone anniversary, a newlywed couple, the guy or girl that just broke up, or even the newly dating couple.

Next time someone asks you “What do we do now?”, you have the answer for them - go buy multiple copies of this incredible book!

Thanks to everyone for listening, joining the chat and / or commenting on the blog.

In the picture above notice that the kids each have a handful of toys and are smiling (OK, Nick is now fake posing puke for the picture but he was actually quite happy) — isn’t Auntie Chemda great!  Keith was handy with the clean up.  But, Brolo — where’s the phone, buddy?!?

They may not be Mark Burnett certified but these two are defiantly survivors!

SPECIAL GUESTS:  Chemda “The Girl” Khalili and Keith Malley have spent the last 5 years (not just 39 days like the wussies on our favorite TV show) in the wilderness of New York City forging a living as podcasters producing the oh so popular Keith and The Girl show.  This audio program is listened to by people around the world.  For an over an hour every week day Keith, Chemda and their guests entertain with hilarious insight and wit from their apartment studio.  Most Armchair Survivor fans know of and/or follow Keith and The Girl, but, for the four or five of you who don’t, this is the perfect opportunity to find out why both Marji and Mike, along with tens of thousands of others listen to this show religiously.

In addition to being probably the biggest independent podcasts in the world, Keith and Chemda are now authors.  Their new book, “What Do We Do Now?“, is available in books stores both on-line and in real-life.   You’ll want to buy this book — we have and we love it.  Click here to buy and to see more reasons to buy.

Keith and Chemda are truly pioneers in the communication arena making podcasting a viable occupation.  Even after the “big boys” like Mevio (formerly PodShow) seem to have failed to let their producers “quit their day jobs” and still make a living, Keith and Chemda continue to grow their media company in much the way Howard Stern has with radio.  Like Stern, The Keith and The Girl Show has set new standards for audio podcast shows.  As well, they have delved into internet video, merchandising, CD and DVD publishing and now book publishing.  In years to come, communication majors will most likely be studying the phenomena that is Keith and The Girl along with others like Howard Stern, Orson Wells, Milton Berle, Mark Burnett and Guglielmo Marconi.

After switching his vote last week, JT comes back to camp and tries to gain trust back.  Meanwhile at camp Villain almost everyone is doing “dragon-slayer chi”, which is sometimes known as “Coach-Chi”, all except Russell.  Russell is still searching for the idol and then… found it.

Reward Challenge - Three of each tribe battle in a pit to get the balls to pass to their tribemates who will try to make a basket.  First team to make two baskets wins reward of a feast of chocolate and a swim in a gorgeous watering hole.  It is a rough game, James even gets hurt, but in the end the Villains win!  The medics look over James and with a heavily bandaged knee goes back in the game.

Immunity Challenge - One person is the caller who directs blindfolded teammates to collect puzzle pieces.  Once all the pieces are collect the tribe can take off the blindfolds and solve a puzzle.  The Heroes have a clear lead after collecting pieces but can’t solve the puzzle fast enough and…  the Villains win Immunity.

The Heroes are frustrated and are considering voting off Candice, Tom or James - in the end Tom gets the most votes and is out.

Picks:

Marji - Reward - Heroes, Immunity - Villains, Voted Off - James

Mike - Reward - Villains, Immunity - Heroes, Voted Off - Rob

Thank you all for your continued support!!

Our break music is appropriately titled Thursday Night from a local Akron Band called Lock4.  Check them out at Lock4.net.  Also note, they’ll be touring the country as a Stone Temple Pilots tribute band.  Go see them and tell them we sent ya!

Podcast:  AS20100311.mp3

Sniffle, sob, boooo hoooo - man up Coach!  Coach turns to Tyson for support and Tyson gives it to him - don’t tell your stories, don’t wear feathers to tribal, and do your tai chi in private - Come ‘on man!  Fist bump between Boston Rob and Coach and hopefully all will be okay.

Tree mail brings a Sears catalog for the tribes to pick their own reward.  In the reward challenge one person from each team races and heads down a slide, grabs their assigned number and then moves down the slide to shoot a ball into a basket.  First team with four baskets win.  It is a close race and in the end the Villians win reward!

At camp the Villians are admiriing their loot and find an idol clue in one of the tools.  The team decides that whomever looks for the clue will be the next one out.  The clue is your curse.  At the Heroes tribe they decide to make coffee and find a clue also, however, they all scramble and hunt out the idol.  Tom finds the idol and tries to sneak it into his sock but Amanda sees him and tells all he has it.

Immunity Challenge, or as we have titled it (Good) Russell Ball.  One person is in a giant ball and has to guide two blindfolded tribemates to push the ball through a maze.  Then they guide three other blindfolded tribemates through a ball maze.  It was a close maze with Boston Rob and Tom guiding their teams and in the end the Villians won Immunity.

The heroes are scheming and who will go - Colby or Cirie?  JT turns and it ends up with Cirie leaving.

Picks:

• Marji - Reward - Heroes, Immunity - Heroes, Voted Out - Russell
• Mike - Reward - Villians, Immunity - Villians, Voted Out - Candice

In honor of the greaze (both on the survivors and in our…) we picked this cute little filthy song by Her and Kings County from their City-Country CD called “Dirty”.  Go buy stuff from all of our friend artists.
