Cops-R-Us
Last week Brains did not represent very well for that trait in this Brawn vs Brains vs Beauty season. They lost both immunity challenges and lost two people... shockingly they kept J'Tia who managed to destroy their rice and bring nothing to the team.
Brains - Night 6
Spencer can't believe that Garrett proved so bad at this game that the women decided to keep someone who destroyed all their food over him. Spencer knows he's the odd man out and he's ready to resort to crazy creative ideas to keep himself there.
-The girls are planning to stick together now... but it's still early days. Tasha is still mad about the rice but she's also mad to find out the guys had an alliance with Kass. Kass feels like she won some loyalty from the girls by voting with them and hopes they don't screw her over for Spencer.
Brawn - Night 6
Everybody's sleeping except Tony who's sitting by the fire by himself - he doesn't trust anybody, it's just him and his idol.
-When Sarah comes over and joins him he decides he's going to trust her with his secret and comes clean that he is a cop. She knew it, her cop-dar never lets her down. Now they have the blue blood bond, cops are loyal to cops - she says, they will be partners in crime (well I hope not.)
-But Tony goes on to lie to her and tells her he overheard Cliff and Lindsay talking about taking out Trish and then Sarah because she's too smart. She's shocked. He says he doesn't trust anybody and she says she doesn't either now (No, listen to him Sarah - Don't-Trust-ANYBODY!) She swears on her badge it's Cops-R-Us and that means nothing to him, it's just words. He's in it for himself and no one else, make no mistake.
-Then the skies open up and they are deluged; thunder and lightening and pouring rain. Everyone is awake now and miserable. They are either huddled in the shelter or around the tiny fire they've been desperately keeping alive... and everyone is hoping the sun comes out in the morning.
Brawn - Day 7
No such luck - it is still pouring (I think they filmed this just before the hurricane that decimated the Philippines) - I couldn't imagine having to sleep outside in that kind of weather.
-Woo seems to be the only one embracing the elements - it's gnarly, horrible... but this is what Survivor is all about, baby!
-Lindsay is the opposite - this is the worst situation she's ever put herself in and she wishes she hadn't.
-Sarah is feeling no sympathy for her - after Tony shared his lies about Lindsay & Cliff wanting to take out Sarah, it just set her off against them. Sarah & Tony have the conversation again and he embellishes it - telling her he heard them say they can take Trish out at any time but Sarah is the smart one - Lindsay said, "But I like Sarah." and Cliff is the one who said it's a game and she had to focus. (So Sarah was focused on Lindsay and Tony tried to redirect her on to his real target - Cliff.) Sarah is 110% in with her brother in blue, Tony... but he's a shyster and it could bite her in the butt.
Beauty - Day 7
-It's still raining - get ready to watch pretty people shake and cry... it's beauty queen Jefra that is the worst offender. She's in a Survivor nightmare and doing a lot of complaining - not much doing.
-LJ is disgusted with her, but he rallies the guys to try and repair/build a better shelter so maybe they can have some respite from the constant driving rain. He's starting to see the stereo-type of Beauty in the girls especially - it takes a lot of work to survive in these situations and the girls are doing nothing... but he's got to keep his mouth shut so as not to become a target. (Oh, let it fly! You know you want to.)
-They are huddled in the meagre shelter, freezing and complaining when LJ decides to go check out those rocks that Morgan was exploring when they got to camp to see if he could find the hidden idol. (LJ is definitely the thinker in this group... however purple pants Brice does watch him go.)
-And LJ's work pays off - he finds the idol in a tide pool by the rocks and tells the camera no one is ever going to know he has that thing. (And I believe him, he thinks the rest of his tribe are idiots.)
Brains - Day 8
-It's finally stopped raining and they get tree mail that surprisingly tells them they will have to gather water from the ocean and fill a big bucket on the end of a teeter-totter. Tasha right away wants to strategize and practice for the challenge but J'Tia wants to get rice cooking... (I said Pardon?) Tasha cannot believe the gall of the chick who dumped out 95% of the rice bringing up cooking rice. But Tasha is just annoyed with everyone not doing what she wants - she starts bullying Spencer, telling him that he especially should want to practice (subtext: because if we lose, you're going home.) He just wants some water - staying hydrated is also important... but also managing his emotions is proving a challenge being the only guy left and having to deal with Tasha-bossy pants.
-Next shot is them practicing tossing water from one coconut and trying to catch it in another... and her dictating which type of arc she likes better... they settle on holding the target static against the chest so the thrower has something substantial to aim for.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
They have to use a bucket to get water from the ocean (first bucket filled, then the bucket is tossed to the next person who then tosses the water to the next person who then fills the bucket on the teeter-totter.) Once the bucket fills the board will drop releasing a ball - that ball will be used by two tribe mates to solve a vertical maze puzzle - they have pulleys and ropes on either side, so they can move it back and forth.
-First two tribes win immunity - and first tribe will get blankets, pillows, mosquito net and a tarp - second tribe will get just a tarp.
Brawn sits Tony and Lindsay (hmm, that's curious) and Beauty sits Jefra and Alexis (not a surprise.)
Off they go and no one is doing very well with the water tossing - practice did not help Brains (they didn't practice tossing the bucket itself) - Beauty is leading and Brawn is second.
Beauty is the first tribe to start on the maze puzzle - LJ and Jeremiah.
Beauty is the next tribe on the maze - Cliff and Woo.
Coming up a distant third, Brains at least gets to the maze... but barely before BRAWN wins, first immunity and the big reward!
Brains starts to mount a come back (Spencer & Kass) on the puzzle where Beauty has fallen apart... and it's BRAINS winning the tarp and most importantly - they won't have to go to tribal council again!
Brawn - Day 8
-They return to camp the conquering heroes and proceed to get that tarp set up over their shelter. Tony's devious little mind is always working and he knows there could be another clue or an advantage in the comfort items so he paws through everything saying he wants to string up the hammock - which he does, and also finds another clue, with no one noticing. He already has the idol, but now he's assured no one else is going to be looking for it.
Beauty - Day 8
-They come back to camp really down and while Jeremiah is struggling to coax their fire back to life, LJ floats it out there, "Maybe a stupid question, but is anybody ready to go home?" (Hey, if someone volunteers, way easier) but there are no takers. LJ then tells his core group of four (himself, Jeremiah, Jefra and Alexis) that it's Brice. He figures he'll be more of a problem later on (he's got no worries about B. McGee.)
-Brice is worried he could be a target but he's trusting in Jeremiah - he talks to Jeremiah and asks if LJ said anything. Jeremiah tells him they're voting for him - Brice wants to take out Alexis tonight - so they're going to try and make that happen.
-Jordan (B.McGee) also wants to talk to Jefra and see if she can get her in with them as well... but she's not that good at manipulating women. She tells her, like, we're voting Alexis and Jeremiah's with us and we want you to vote with us too. Jefra was just like, "Hold on here, when did you talk to Jeremiah?" She's confused but still wonders why not take out LJ instead of Alexis - but Jordan says they still need him for challenges. Morgan, "You can talk to Jeremiah, he'll talk to you." And that's exactly what Jefra does.
-Jeremiah denies that he's in an alliance with Brice and Morgan and tells Jefra he's still voting Brice with the group. But he's not the greatest liar - he looks like he's freaking out. And he tells the camera Jefra didn't want to vote Alexis so now he's stuck. (Oh boy.)
-Alexis joins them and they start talking about splitting the vote in case Brice or Morgan have a hidden immunity idol - if it's a three way tie and they have to revote, they'll all just vote for Brice on the second vote. (That's just dumb when there are only six people, why would you want a three way tie? All Jeremiah has to do is vote with the other two and you're screwed. Yeah, they're pretty.)
-Jeremiah has the biggest decision to make, which alliance to choose. He says he's just a country guy and he doesn't want to hurt nobody's feelin's. (Really? Can you feel me rolling my eyes at that?)
TRIBAL COUNCIL
They start off talking about how they are all pretty and happy to be beautiful but then, Jefra said, the storm came and they lost the challenge and everything changed. She said everyone was paranoid and as far as she knew no one had been talking strategy to that point.
-But Brice lays it out - there have been talks around camp - they see LJ and Jeremiah together and Jefra and Alexis which leaves Morgan and Brice out. He says some people have not been talking strategy at all - Alexis hasn't talked to him so he feels like she's gunning for him.
Jeff asks: So is it a foregone conclusion that you're voting for Alexis?
-I feel like everyone should pull their weight around camp. You know... (dot, dot, dot - head wiggle, eye bulge - all we needed was the finger snap.) And Morgan throws Alexis a, "you're going down, b*tch" look.
-Alexis makes no effectual response - he knows how the game is played and he can use that as ammunition to take me out.
-Jeff asks if there's been talk of idols - Brice says there's been talk of the town that idols could be in play with Morgan getting to camp before the rest of them.
-Morgan says she thinks she knows how things are going to play out tonight after their talks today but you never know, people could stab you in the back. (Jeremiah just looks at the ground - he's like a dog that's done something wrong.)
-Jeff catches it and asks Jeremiah if he thinks he knows what's going to happen tonight and Jeremiah says he thinks he knows but it's going to hurt, it's going to suck, but it's Survivor.
And it's Time to Vote:
Morgan votes Alexis
Alexis votes Cousin Brice (what? he's not your cousin)
LJ votes Morgan
Tallying the votes:
No one plays a hidden immunity idol
Alexis -1
Brice - 1
Morgan - 1
Alexis - 2
Brice - 2
Final vote: Morgan - 2
That ties it up which means Alexis, Brice and Morgan will not vote again. (Brice throws Jeremiah a Look!)
Revote:
Brice 1, 2 - There was a lot of eye rolling - and the fabulous Purple Pants are out!
With Brice leaving, that takes Maddy D, Elaine R and Jessica C. out of the pool. (And I think it also means B. McGee's days are numbered.)
Next time: Brawn is looking to throw a challenge and take someone out - the immunity challenge is the 'blindfolded, lead people by yelling at them obstacle course' - and they show everyone getting hit in the junk by walking into things (it's not funny, but still so funny.)
Brice's final thoughts: I'm definitely disappointed in Jeremiah, he betrayed my trust but that's okay, I'm sure he didn't really understand - I'm surprised he could even spell my name (ooh, ouch). Obviously they wanted the cutest, most fashionable person out first. I hope Morgan does well, the rest of the people, I don't even remember their names. (Oh so bitter. Love it!)
Have a great rest of the week everyone,
