Now, on to the breakdown for this week:

From CBS Press Express, as posted by Squid, in the episode thread posted by Michel:

A SECRET MESSAGE PASSED BETWEEN TRIBES COULD GO DOWN AS EITHER THE DUMBEST OR BOLDEST MOVE IN SURVIVOR HISTORY, ON "SURVIVOR: HEROES VS. VILLAINS," THURSDAY, APRIL 15

"Survivor History" - Convinced that a women's alliance is running the Villains tribe, The Heroes develop a risky strategy in an effort to align themselves with one of the game's most notorious players, on SURVIVOR: HEROES VS. VILLAINS, Thursday, April 15 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”.
—George Santayana

Someone was napping through History class, hmmmm?

The real story of this week is:

The show preview starts with a quick look at really dumb Survivor moves (thank you FlowerPower for bringing over the vidcaps!):

That sets us up for what JT and the Heroes tribe are about to do, and qualifies JT for the Survivor Hall of Shame.

The 'simple' plan:

The reality:

We have been hit over the head in the previews that JT will in fact pass the hidden Immunity Idol to Russell this week, because JT and the Heroes fear:

The Reward Challenge:

Villains win according to Blackwhale at Sucks. Russell sits out, leaving the Villain girls to outlast the Heroes on the foot holds of Hell. JT won this challenge in Tocantins, but not this time.

The Immunity Challenge:

Heroes win this one, as the bootlist indicates a Villain joins Coach on the jury this week. These are the only vidcaps so far on this challenge, so we do not have much to go on other than that.

The boot:

Heroes win Immunity, so the Villains go back to TC. Last week the discussion was whether to boot the challenge worthless Courtney, or the flaky Coach, and we all saw how that turned out. This week’s boot should not surprise anyone:

The Summary:

Dumb Survivor move that qualifies for the history books: JT

HI's: JT hands Russell the one found at Heroes beach, Parvati finds one at Villains beach. Neither is played in this episode.

RC: Villains

IC: Heroes

Boot: Courtney
