Parvati Gone As 'Survivor' Gets Dirty
NEW YORK (CBS) ―
It's survivors gone wild! Three cast members of CBS' "Survivor: Cook Islands" luxuriated in a hot tub on Thursday night's show, leaving their dirty, sweaty clothes behind.
"I've got two naked guys in a hot tub," Parvati coos. Shedding the skivvies isn't a big stretch for her; Parvati's clothes, as the CBS cameraman have certainly noticed, tend toward the skimpy side.
Parvati, Yul and Ozzy won a reward challenge that sent them to a spa with the hot tub for the night. The pampering was appreciated, since the challenge itself was kind of gross. All the tribe members covered their bodies in mud to see who could siphon off the most in a bucket.
"It's like watching bad performance art," said high-and-dry host Jeff Probst.
Best segue of the series so far: those three winners lying down for a massage of coconut oil, then cut to Adam on exile island, flies feasting on his open wounds. Adam spent a miserable, shivering night alone that left him physically depleted for the immunity challenge.
The challenge involved balance beams and construction of a maze. Ozzy won with ease. He's quietly become a formidable force for his sheer physical ability in the challenges, while Yul is the quiet CEO directing everything.
Again we ask: why don't the other tribe members band together to vote for Yul and force him to use the immunity idol they all know that he has?
Yul essentially decides who gets voted off. He kind of likes Adam, and admits he underestimated Parvati's ability as a player.
Bye-bye, Parvati.
Parvati Shallow, 23, grew up the eldest of three siblings on a commune in Vero Beach, Florida. She and her family moved to Atlanta when she was 11 years old. Having studied martial arts since her youth, she currently works as a female boxer and cocktail waitress. She previously worked as a model, bartender and in public relations.
