Two Survivors Leave Micronesia 5/01/08

James and Alexis Leave Survivor Micronesia
CBS 8/7c 5/01/08

Is the reality show Survivor becoming too dangerous? A record number of Survivor Micronesia: Fans vs. Faves have had to leave the show due to severe injury. James is the latest victim of infection this season.

A small cut on one finger brought down arguably the strongest Survivor contestant in the shows history tonight. Jeff Probst has obviously been worried about the cut on James' finger, calling for him to be checked after every challenge and meeting.

The Reward Challenge tonight was a visit from a loved one. Always a tear-jerker. In a Q&A game, Alexis won and sent Amanda to exile island (Amanda volunteered, wanting to find the Hidden Immunity Idol). Alexis picked Natalie and Cirie to go on a reward with family members. Leaving James, Parvatti, and Erik to go back to camp lonely and hungry.

James was sent to medical first, and told the infection in his finger was great enough to warrant his elimination from Survivor Micronesia. Jeff Probst commented on the historic decision by the medical staff.

Thus far on Survivor: Fans vs. Faves, Jonathan went home with a severe leg injury/infection. Kathleen asked to leave the camp, sick and emotionally drained. Chet asked to be eliminated at Tribal Council due to a foot injury. Now James has fallen, showing up at Tribal Council with an I.V. pole supporting continuous antibiotics through his body.

That was a nasty cut. It looked as bad or worse than Jonathan's leg, both nasty infections. At least James was well enough to still attend Tribal Council for the surprises.

With James out of the game, Erik is the last man standing. The shaggy headed blond looks like a survivor, and has every man's dream. Except the women he is surrounded by are just as dirty and skinny (almost) as he is! Poor guy, they are all out to get him too!

It's a Cimemax Afterdark movie gone wrong.

Lucky for Erik, he won Individual Immunity in a gun shooting challenge. This left the women to vote off one of their own.

Amanda found the clues to the Hidden Immunity Island and trusted Parvati with the information. The Idol was buried under the camp flag. They played it like Amanda couldn't find the last clue.

The women thought it was only fair to let Amanda know that they would be voting her off at Tribal Council. Amanda, with a cover story from Parvati went out to dig up the Idol.

At Tribal Council, Jeff Probst did the usually calling out. Then the votes were cast. Probst asked if anyone would like to play the Hidden Immunity Idol, and after sufficient suspenseful music, Amanda played the Idol.

The other women looked absolutely sick. The jury members were loving it!

The votes were then read, Amanda's smile ever widening as they rolled in for her. The person with the second highest votes would leave Survivor Micronesia tonight.

Amanda and Parvati both voted for Alexis, and she went to join the jury. Alexis was completely surprised, but the jury members loved every minute of it.

Jeff Probst commented that this group of Survivors have perfected the 'back-door'.
