Krista on ‘Survivor: Redemption Island’: The 3-6 split
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011Episode 3 recap
A trip to the dentist? Krista Klumpp competes
in the reward/immunity challenge.
Arrogance, inflated pride, a sense of overconfidence that can lead to downfall.
The Greeks call it Russell, er, hubris.
Russell Hantz came into “Survivor: Redemption Island” with a target on his back. Now that other players have actually seen his game on television, he can’t use the same ol’ bag of tricks he used in previous back-to-back seasons.
What does that mean for his Zapatera alliance members Stephanie Valencia and Fairhope native Krista Klumpp? Will they ride into the final 3 with him, or end up obliterated before they can scheme their way forward?
Find out after the jump …

Krista on ‘Survivor: Redemption Island’: Redeem or die
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011‘Survivor: Redemption Island,’ episode 3 preview
Video: Second chances come at a cost, starting
tonight on “Survivor: Redemption Island.”
“Survivor” has had at least one predictable outcome in its previous 21 seasons: The first out — whether 20th place or 16th place — was only memorable as a possible trivia answer.
Tonight’s episode of “Survivor: Redemption Island” will scramble that notion forever.
Francesca Hogi, the first one voted out, and Matt Elrod, the latest castaway cast away, will battle head to head. The loser goes home, finally. The winner gets to stay in isolation for another few days until the next loser stumbles into camp.
Hmm …
Meanwhile, the Zapatera alliance of Russell Hantz, Stephanie Valencia and Fairhope native Krista Klumpp looks to pull off the “biggest blindside ever.” Hmm again, I thought that was the one they pulled over on the audience bringing back the tired old villains.
Check out the action tonight, and look for the recap here.
Video: preview of Jail Break Duel,
the first battle in Redemption Arena.
Episode 2 recaps:
- Wade on Birmingham
- Jeff Probst: “Once again, the gold star of the episode does go to … Philip. … The explanation of his two tattoos was so good I had to watch it three times.”
“Survivor: Redemption Island” airs at 7 p.m. Wednesdays on CBS 42. Look for the full recap tonight following the show.
