People are rarely this happy to be voted off of Survivor.

“That was fun,” Malcolm grimaces before casting his vote. Roxy’s vote for Angie comes with an “I call a spade a spade,” and Angie’s vote for Roxy is “I can’t stand you, and I won’t miss you.” There’s that beauty queen attitude!

There’s no Hidden Immunity Idol, and when Probst “tallies” the votes, we see Angie’s vote for Roxy with three exclamation points, and Roxy’s vote for Angie. But then it’s Roxy all the way, and she is the second person voted out of Survivor: Philippines. Angie sits on the edge of her tribe looking smug and Malcolm gives her a smarmy wave goodbye. Russell does not look happy. The only good news Probst has for Matsing is “tomorrow is another day,” because he was watching Gone With The Wind, or possibly Annie, in his comfy hotel room before Tribal Council.

This was an interesting vote, because both Russell and Denise voted against their long-term interest. Russell is very aware of his position if Matsing loses again next week, and Denise knows that she risks being the expendable member of a Malcolm-Angie-Denise alliance. But I expect Denise was more concerned that if Angie were voted out the next vote would be “anything goes,” while voting out Roxy would guarantee Russell and not Denise would be next. And once Denise had decided, Russell had no choice but to go along.

Next week on Survivor: Lisa scrambles, with Pete asking her if it would be okay to get rid of Mike. “Just tell me what to do,” says Lisa. And Russell slides, wondering if it’s God’s plan for him to be out here. God is probably wondering “How long is it going to take this dumbass to learn the lessons I’m teaching him?” And Michael Skupin bleeds from the face! Is there anywhere that man can’t bleed from?

Roxy describes her six days as six loooong days, so it doesn’t sound like she had much fun out there. Poor Roxy.
