"Survivor"

Notes and spoilers from tonight, after the jump. …

What was the line one survivor had — they didn't go out in "blazing glory"?

Strange week. Penner was taken away because of his knee injury, and his tribe still won immunity. Then Chet, perhaps because he sensed how difficult his position had become, claimed that he had an injury, too (a bad heel that did look as if it had the potential for blood poisoning), and asked to be voted off. At which point things became, briefly, really crazy — with a few of the tribemates asking Chet to stay so they could take out Ozzy. But Ozzy gambled, didn't use his hidden idol — and didn't get voted off.

Still, it wasn't all that thrilling. The Gang of Chet was once again inept at challenges; and had they kept Joel or even Mikey B, they could have replicated James's immunity-challenge strategy and had a chance at winning. Then there's the fake immunity idol Ozzy made, now in the hands of Jason. That could be funny down the road, but right now it was just a setup.
