Not Sure Where I Stand.
I went to Burlesque last night with some friends (I do sometimes pretend to have a life) so I’m going to try something a little different – writing the recap on the fly as I watch it. (Oh, and I enjoyed Burlesque, yummy cheesey, singy goodness - I recommend it to anyone without a penis.)
Ever have one of those days when everything goes wrong? Welcome to Sash’s world. His closest alliance, NaOnka had a hidden idol… then gave it to Chase and his other ally Purple Kelly would do everything he said – they both quit.
Libertad – Night 28
They come back from Tribal Council and are complaining they had to go to Tribal because of them and get all wet – they come back to camp all wet and the quitters get to be all dry and warm tonight.
They decide to name the remaining chicken – Kelly-Nay, because they were both chicken. (Perfect!)
Sash realizes he’s not in a great spot – he has a hidden idol but he’s stuck between two alliances – that don’t include him. Chase, Jane & Holly v/s Benry, Fabio and Dan.
Libertad – Day 29
Sash talking to Benry, Fabio and Chase – he tells them he’s going to play the hidden idol at next tribal to declare himself a free agent and not a threat to anyone so hopefully they’ll keep him around.
Chase tells Sash he thinks it’s in their best interest to stick with the women. Sash says the only person he thinks will beat them is Jane. Chase says he’s going to try and get Sash and Holly a reward – they’ve gone the longest without bonus food.
Day 30 – Reward Challenge
- Second chance to revisit some of the previously played challenges. First round, crawl through mud, dig ball out of hay, bounce it off a shield into a barrel.
- First 4 advance to next round – use a stick to retrieves a key off a suspended spring , unlock a chest containing 4 sandbags, throw the sandbags on a barrel
- First 2 people to get all 4 bags on the barrel move on to the final round – use a paddle to dig up 3 rope rings out of sand, the first person to land all 3 rings on the target will win reward.
Reward: The winner will go to a private resort – meal, shower, good night sleep. (Oh, I can smell this coming already.)
They’re off – Chase, Jane, Benry and Holly move on to round 2.
The boys get the keys quickly – and Chase and Benry are in the final – before either of the women get their keys down (ugh.)
Final round – CHASE wins reward! He was a man possessed.
Of course – he gets to choose 2 people to go with him. He chooses Holly because she gave up reward last time and then he chooses… Jane! I KNEW IT! He said he’d take Sash and just burned him.
Sash thinks he’s so stupid – knowing Sash has a hidden idol and then play him like that – especially when he already has Jane’s vote sewn up.
Back at camp – Day 30
The dirty boys come back to camp – Fabio’s fine with the 3 that went. Sash says Chase made the dumbest move ever, leaving him, the wild card, alone at camp with the opposing alliance. Sash dives right in, “Tell me your game plan…[so I can see if you can get me to the end.]”(was implied)
Dan calls him on it – so you could still side with them. “Uh, uh, uh…” Yeah – they don’t trust him. Dan says we’d be crazy to trust him especially after what he did to his own right hand girl… but if he sides with them they have 4 so he might have to trust Sash.
Reward –
They are all still covered in mud and they are stuffing their faces – they head inside their resort room and see a mirror for the first time in a month – they can’t belive how skinny they are.
Holly says she thinks Chase made the stupid choice by not bringing Sash on the Reward. Chase realizes it now – he talks to Holly and tells her he knows he made a mistake. They think the others may now try to pick them off. He’s going to enjoy the Reward while he’s there and do damage control tomorrow.
Back at camp:
Fabio to Benry and Dan – they don’t want Sash to side with the others – no one wants to go to the final with Jane so they hope he realizes they are his better bet. Benry’s not sure about Sash though – he’s been back and forth this whole time.
They killed Kelly-Nay – wondering if Jane will be upset they ate her chicken without her – it’s not her chicken. (But, wow, I think that was ballsy eating the chicken without the others.)
Libertad – Day 31
Jane is crying about the chicken – “They didn’t have to eat her – they have enough rice here. I did love that chicken.” Oh no, she made a shrine to the chicken… Remember the crazy old lady a few season’s back and the dead bat… they’ve been out there too long.
Holly worried about Sash spending so much time with the other guys. Chase says they have to convince Sash that they need him with them and they are willing to dump Jane and keep him.
Benry is nervous – he’s getting paranoid. He approaches Chase and asks if his name’s been brought up. Chase says no, why not Fabio. Benry says he’s down with that if Chase will vote out Jane – Hell Yeah! (So basically, they lied to each other.)
Chase goes and tells Sash he’s sorry he didn’t take him on the reward - He very much regretted not taking Sash – but he also wanted to show him that he trusted him by leaving him there with the guys. Sash asks if he’d swear on his mother and wonderful father – that you would take me to the final 3 or 2 no matter what. Of course.
Holly, as usual, has the best timing – she barges up to them and Chase tells them that Benry told him he wanted to keep playing the game with Chase and Fabio would be next to go.
Sash says that’s a straight up lie. They agree that Benry should be the next to go, he’s the most likely to win immunity.
Benry comes and reports to Fabio that Sash is talking to Chase and Holly – Dangerous? Dan, yup. Our plan is doomed. Probably no picking off the other three now. Benry thinks he’s done enough to keep himself here – he’s in tight with Chase and momma Holly. He goes and joins the Sash/Chase/Holly circle and they tell him they’re thinking Fabio next – Benry makes his pitch for Jane – no one wants to go up against Jane in the final (Shades of Marty still infecting their thoughts…. If Jane does go to the end – Marty may have won her a million dollars.)
Immunity Challenge:
They will be attached to a hitching rail – and have to move over and under it to release their rope – when they think they have enough of the rope free – they will run out and try to reach a bag of gold coins- first 3 to get their bag of coins will move on to the final. They will have to solve the gold coin puzzle – looks like stacking them so they fit in a box…?
Fabio is the first to his bag – Sash and Benry do not have enough yet – back they go – but they do make it the second try and Benry, Fabio and Sash are working the puzzle.
They have prestacked coins – it’s a matter of getting the shapes to all fit together into a rectangle shape.
Jane is being annoying, come on Sash, Fabio, Benry – shut up!
Benry cannot get his head around the puzzle and Sash wins immunity just ahead of Fabio. (I guess he won’t be playing his Precious tonight after all.)
Libertad – Day 32
Sash feels great – triple threat – individual immunity, hidden immunity and he’s in the most powerful alliance. Most of the game he’s been sandbagging, going 75-80% so he looks at Benry and Fabio who have been going 100% the whole time and they won’t make it because they are a physical threat.
-Fabio asks Sash if he will let him know if his name comes up – Sash, yeah, sure. Fabio feels like Sash is closer to him then anyone else on the tribe – he thinks sitting back and being cool is the way to go right now – but he doesn’t kow.
-Dan talking to Sash and Chase – they tall Dan it’s Fabio – Sash says they’re stringing the guys along and he’s going to keep them guessing – Benry, Dan, Sash & Chase – we’re going to tell Fabio we’re voting Jane – Benry says he won’t believe that – tell him it’s Holly. Benry says he feels bad lying but he’ll do whatever he needs to, to stay there another night.
-Fabio buys it – I’ll vote Holly – He feels good with that, he’s ready for her to go.
Sash and Jane – he tells her she’s like a second mom to me – tells her that he has her back. She feels good with their 4 way alliance. He says we all fell in place because we’re all loyal and sincere people… (with a Cheshire Cat grin… oh, I don’t trust him.) Jane hopes they’ll be able to pick them off one by one cause that’s what they planned to do to us.
Tribal Council
Jeff points out the quitters. (Yeah, yeah, we’re over it.)
Chase, you had the chance to pick 2 people to go on the reward with you, great strategic opportunity to make 2 people happy but it could also work against you…
- I was very concerned it’d work against me – make 2 people happy and 4 people mad.
How concerned were you, due to being young and fit that you’re a threat.
- Yeah, I’m a physical threat but I haven’t won individual immunity yet – Benry and Fabio also physical threats.
Benry –how concerned are you?
- Extremely concerned.
Jane, compare yourself to Fabio – how much of a target is on your back?
- He’s a big physical threat, not so smart on the puzzle but definitely a threat.
Fabio feels okay with his alliance.
Benry’s feeling okay that things will go his way tonight.
Sash feels great with immunity around his neck – he says it makes him more approachable around camp. Everyone wanted to talk to him.
Fabio saw everyone talk to Sash but he’s okay with it (he thinks he knows they’re voting for Holly.)
Holly said she noticed everyone talking to Sash and it made her nervous – she feels sorry for Fabio that he’s not. You have to talk to people, you have to find out what’s going on – communication is huge.
Time to vote:
They didn’t show us how anyone voted… Ooooh, what’s going to happen?
Anyone with a hidden idol want to play it? Chase does not play his.
Reading the votes:
Holly 1, Fabio 1, 2, Benry 1, 2, 3, 4…. Oh, they blindsided Benry!
And, with Ben Henry (Benry) having his torch snuffed – Cara L, Cheryl J and Fred M are out of the pool.
Next week: Only 2 episodes left – huge feast for the winners and the losers will be taken and executed - Gasp. (HA hahaha… I wonder what that really means?)
So it does look like the show will be over before Christmas - some lucky people will have some extra spending money over the holiday
Have a great weekend,
Coleen
