Survivor One World - April 25th Episode Recap

Never Say Die

Last week they voted out Leif despite Troyzan's laying out the idea of taking out Kim at Tribal Council and the episode opened at:

Tikiano - Night 27
-Tarzan knows the odds are not in his favour, especially with only two guys remaining so he's going to do whatever the girls want and try not to be associated with Troyzan in a bid to stay in the game.
-Kim was thrown a little by being made a target at Tribal but she feels like that Tribal Council solidified the women's alliance, they are now all completely committed to keeping the women together.
-Troyzan is well aware he is an island - bring it on.

Tikiano - Day 28
-They get tree mail and it says something like their power of perception will help them get away... and for some reason that makes them think they'll be picking people to go on reward (? I don't get it.)
-Anyway, Kat thinks it's time for her to go on a reward and she wants Kim to pick her and vice versa - Kim says the only people she doesn't want left alone together are Troy, Alicia and Christina so she'd go for Kat, Kim and Alicia... (Oh you know this is not going to end well.)

Reward Challenge
-There are voodoo dolls and fire... what the heck?
-They have to answer a series of questions about their tribemates - Jeff will tally the answers and then the challenge will be to try and guess what the consensus was in the group.  Whenever they get an answer right, they get the chance to cut the rope holding up the voodoo dolls - three chops and the doll swings into the fire and that person is out of the challenge.  Last person left standing (or hanging in this case) will win a helicopter ride to an island where they will have a picnic.

First question: Who does not deserve to still be here - answer: Christina (burn) - 3 got it right and each cut a different rope.
2nd - who would you trust with your life? - Kim : most of the girls got it right and they burned Troyzan.
3rd - who most needs a wake up call in life? - Kat :everyone got it right but Kat and they burn Tarzan and Chelsea.
4th - Who is the biggest poser? Troyzan - no one burned
5th - Who does the least for the tribe - Sabrina - They burn Kat and she's pissed.  Sabrina also burns.
6th - Who would you most like to be stranded with on an island? - Only people left standing are Kim, Alicia and Christina and the answer was Kim and Kim & Alicia got it right - Christina burns.
7the - Who do you hope to never see again? (Man, these questions are brutal) both said Troyzan and the answer was Troyzan - Alicia burns and Kim wins Reward.  (This challenge is always very telling - and often predicts how voting will go.)
Kim chooses Alicia to go on the Reward and when Jeff says she can choose one more, she chooses... CHELSEA!  Ha haha... I smelt that one coming.  Kat, "Are you serious?"
Troy takes the opportunity to stir it up again - "This is very telling, Kim, Chelsea and Alicia are the top dogs and the rest are on the bottom."  He's going to use every chance he can to play with their minds.

Helicopter - Picnic Reward
-Kim can't really enjoy the reward - she's scared that everyone's mad at her - she's worried Troyzan is going to be able to turn the tide on her game.

Back at camp:
-Kat is bitter and complaining that Kim made a comment about Chelsea never getting to eat - Kat, "I'm hungry too." (They all are you idiot.)
-Troy says it's not about food - it was strategy - you need to wake up and smell the coffee. (He is totally playing with her little mind and it's working.) So Kat is mad at Kim and she's fed up having to listen to Troyzan... she breaks down and Sabrina tries to tell her that Kim left the girls there that she could trust... but I don't think it's sinking in - Kat's not smart.
-Sabrina knows Troy is still a threat and she wants to feel Christina out so she goes and talks to them together and Troy is telling her he's willing to be that vote they need to get Kim out and Sabrina is listening... and Christina is swaying (I'm wondering why she is still there... just luck at this point.)

-The Reward ladies come back and Kat is freezing Kim out - Kim asks to speak with her please (oh, Mom's mad) and Kat tells her she's furious and Kim turns it around, this is my worst day out here, I wish I didn't win, it's much easier being picked than doing the picking (wah!) 
-Kim tells the camera the decision not to take Kat was her first non-strategic move and she's paying for it. (She really needs to get over herself.)

Tikiano - Day 29
-It's raining and a pig walks into camp... huh?  A real pig... "We gotta kill it."  What? The girls get the axe and a rope... Sabrina says they're all thinking Ham and Bacon (you got a smoker and salt?) - then they wuss out and tell Troyzan to kill the pig.  Okay, them chasing a pig around in the rain was  hilarious... squeal squeal (that was the pig and the women.)  Kim saw the pig as a godsend - it broke the tension of the day and she felt the walls coming down.

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
Two at a time they will slide on their stomachs down a slippery course (slip & slide) picking up rope rings along the way - once they get to the end they have to toss the rings onto hooks - first person to get the ring on a hook moves on to next round, last person left standing at the end wins Immunity.
-Chelsea and Alicia both have boobs they're afraid to flop on apparently - they don't do well - Chelsea moves on.
-Sabrina and Kat - Sabrina slides for it but can't stick the ring - Kat moves on.
-Troy and Tarzan - All the girls are rooting for Tarzan and they both keep missing the pegs... until Tarzan actually does knock Troyzan out. (Oh, he was so pissed... and all the ladies were happy.)
-Kim and Christina - No contest - Kim moves on.

2nd round
Troy is standing with his back to everything... Really? Having a good pout, little baby?
-Two rings this time: Kat vs Chelsea - Chelsea moves on to final.
-Tarzan vs Kim - (and I just have to say, why did they have the oiled up challenge after all the hot man bodies are gone?)  - Kim moves on.

Final - Kim vs Chelsea - 3 rings this time - KIM wins Immunity. (Troy deigns to glance over his shoulder... whatever.)

Tikiano - Day 30
They walk back to camp and the pig is hanging out in the shade... aw, he's waiting for them, pet pig.

Troy is trying not to get himself down - he knows to never say die in Survivor.  They think he has a hidden immunity idol so they're going to split the vote, maybe there is something he can do.

Kim is doing exactly as he thinks, in case Troyzan has an idol they are going to split the vote and throw a couple votes Christina's way (huh, I don't know if that means Tarzan is more of a girl than Christina or if Kim is going to take Tarzan to the end because she knows no one will vote for him... which could also backfire, because if that crazy old bastard makes it to the end, I would totally vote for him!)  Kim's reasoning is that Christina is used to seeing votes for herself and won't be as mad as someone else (really?)
-Kat is sick of being told what to do, everyone thinks that she's just a follower and can't make her own decisions.  "It's frustrating for me. I don't know what to do." (And she doesn't even see the irony.)
[close up of the pig] I'm starting to love the pig.
-Sabrina tells Christina they are splitting the votes between her and Troy - but don't freak out, you're not going home... Sabrina tells the camera I probably should have told her another name (ya think?)  But Christina doesn't freak out... she goes and confirms with Kim what Sabrina told her and Kim makes it sound like that was Sabrina's idea (she is a slippery one) and asks if Christina's okay.
-Alicia - If I got votes, all hell would break loose - but Christina's IQ is zero, if that even exists (doesn't she work with special needs kids?  Shouldn't she know about that stuff?) Oh, she says she handles Christina like one of her students so she'll do as she's told.

-Christina then talks to Troy and tells him she is willing to vote for Chelsea if he votes for her.
-Troy tells us that he doesn't think anyone else will vote for Chelsea so he has to figure out who they are splitting the vote with... and Christina offers it up - I heard my name bandied around. (Maybe Alicia is right, she's not that smart).  Boom, Troy is now voting for Christina.

-Kim's plan is to have 5 votes for Troy and 2 for Christina - as long as everyone votes like they're supposed to, Troy will go home.  But you never can tell, Kim knows he's playing so hard, she won't believe he's out until Jeff snuffs his torch.

Tribal Council
So, started as men vs women - seems today it's still men vs women.  Troy are you in trouble because you don't have the necklace?
-Yeah, it's the girls and Tarzan against me - maybe the Survivor gods are out there, blah blah.  (He should have just answered - DUH!)
Sabrina, if there is men vs women, there are 6 of you [women] has there been talk about who's number 6? 5?
-I wouldn't say there's been talk among all 6 of us.
Christina, you know what that means right? (and apparently no, she doesn't) There hasn't been talk among all SIX of us...
-I know there's been talk (and you haven't been invited, do the math) but no one's been clear about who's top 5, 4, 3 (can she really not see it or is she just not wanting to give away too much? I'm not exactly sure, no one can be that clueless, surely?)
Chelsea, agree with that?
-No, I feel this game started so fast that people were thinking top 3 on day one.
Christina pipes in - but sometimes people get voted out, people flip flop, things change.
Troyzan - that sounds like the kind of answer you want to hear.
-Yeah, it does. That tells me she's not 100% on her alliance.
Christina, why are you here?
-Because I'm one lucky girl, that's why I'm here. (I don't think that's the answer he was looking for - but everyone agrees with her.)
Alicia, why are you laughing?
-I find it funny that was her answer because when we had that reward challenge the general consensus was that Christina doesn't deserve to be here.
Christina, what did that feel like? (Really Jeff?  That question was beneath you.)
-Ah, that really hurt my feelings but in the beginning no one really got to know me...
But this challenge was just two days ago
-Right, I get that...
Alicia - no one thinks you've had any strategy
Christina - I have strategy, I just don't talk about it because the game is about deception, outwit, outlast, outplay.
Troy loves hearing these women talk and not really say what's going on - Everyone knows Christina's in the bottom.
Let's talk about the Reward challenge. (ugh, do we have to)
Troy very vocal about calling out what was going on - (he doesn't care anymore, he's going to tell it like he sees it and stir it up)
Jeff asks Kim if she was worried being the one to have to choose people and we're back to polite veiled talk (snoozer) but she talks Troy up, says he's brilliant at getting into peoples heads.
Kat, you were heartbroken at not being chosen, why?
-Comment Troy made about Kim, Alicia and Chelsea being the top 3 and she started thinking "Am I a weak player, am I a follower?  Am I so far up Chelsea & Kim's butts that I can't see if I'm making the right decisions?  He got to me.
Troy loved hearing that and Kim not so happy.
Troy, it's pretty clear it was you or somebody else so it's been your job to make it somebody else - how you feeling right now?
-I feel pretty good.

Time to Vote:
Troy votes Christina - Hoping she gets lots of votes.
Christina votes Chelsea
Kim votes Troy - whispers "Please go home."

Tallying the votes:
No hidden immunity idol and they ladies are happy

Chelsea - 1
Troy - 1, 2, 3
Christina - 1, 2, 3
Troy - 4... and Troyzan has been ousted from his Island.  (He whispers to Kat to do it... trying to stir it up to the very end.)

And with Troyzan leaving that eliminates: Ritch G, Bernice R and Wendy E from the pool.

Next week: Tarzan is the last man standing but can the women keep it together - Kat and Sabrina seem to be the next two on the chopping block.

Troy - sad he didn't reach his goal of winning Survivor - the fans are going to love my game and I hope they appreciate it. (Oh yeah, he just wants to be famous.)

Have a great rest of the week everyone,

Coleen.
