SFist Watches: Your Locals On Reality TV

Due to a betrayal by TiVo, which decided we'd rather watch a rerun of "My Name Is Earl" than "Survivor: Fiji" we had to try and watch the first 20 minutes of last week's episode online. Which isn't so bad normally, but we had a very finicky connection that would freeze every few seconds and tell us the video was loading....80%.....and play...and freeze....and loading....66%...85%...90%...and play...and freeze....and loading....67%....and then we slammed our heads against the wall and said "Screw it!" So, you won't get to read about how the first challenge went. Like anyone besides us really cares.
All you need to know is Yau-Man was still around. The Ravu tribe apparently lost ANOTHER Reward Challenge, but Yau-Man wasn't sent to Exile Island, although he may have wished he had been as the idle chatter between his female tribe mates focused on such topics as lip gloss, skin tone, and the perceived maintenance (high or low) or said tribe mates.
Immunity Challenge! And it was a big game of Concentration. Not the most exciting of challenges, so not the most interesting to recap. The tribes were tied for most of the game but, once again, Ravu LOST.
Back at camp, the scrambling began. Rocky complained about how everyone couldn't shut the hell up during the challenge and just...concentrate. Lovely Rita Motormouth agreed. And agreed and agreed. While most of the tribe wanted to vote out Anthony, Rocky wanted to get Rita and her yammering the hell out of camp.
Tribal Council. Anthony admitted fearing for his survival, but in the end, Rita's yammering sent her packing. And Yau-Man survives another week!
