Keep It Real
Last week the tribes merged, they named themselves Merica, Joe won the first individual immunity, Blue Collar thought they were running the show but Jenn made an epic play of a hidden immunity idol which took Kelly out of the game.
Merica - returning from Tribal Council
Will proclaims, "Welcome to Survivor ladies & gentlemen. It just got real."
-Rodney is really mad about Kelly going out like that and he blames Mike. The vote was supposed to be Hali, but Mike changed it to Jenn to test Will. (None of them even considered a hidden immunity idol - they're just girls after all.) Rodney thinks Mike's a stupid red-neck, plain and simple.
-Rodney pulls Will aside and does his mile a minute strategy talk saying they're going to let Mike think he's running the show but once Joe, Hali & Jenn are gone they'll take him out. (Whatever, Rodney's all talk, he just steamrolls over people, doesn't take the time to finesse the desired results.)
-Mike congratulates Jenn on a great job, it wasn't his desired result but he respects her play. She says she's sorry to still be there to disappoint him... but she's really not.
-Jenn is still there to have some fun. If she can mess with the other alliance, that will provide her with entertainment. No Collar is still there to play and win!
Merica - Day 20
The girls are making food and Rodney has to have his nose in everything, he tells them to add more rice, he's trying to take the skin off the salami and they girls want it on... he tells the camera ever since the merge Joe's crew has been in charge of the food and he's tired of it - he feels like his alliance is running the game and he has no respect for anyone that hasn't earned it (Oh, please let Survivor karma get him this episode, please!)
REWARD CHALLENGE
They have to make their way across a series of balance beams collecting bags of puzzle pieces as they go - the first three to collect all three bags and make it across will move on to the final round where they must use the puzzle pieces to make an anchor puzzle - the first to finish their puzzle wins Reward of - zip-lining from the jungle canopy to the bottom where they'll have a pizza picnic.
Off they go: Dan & Shirin fall off almost immediately - but they all start getting their bags across... except Shirin who apparently has no balance.
-Joe, Mike and Hali make it into the final round.
-Mike gets out to a fast start, but Hali starts to pick up the momentum and Joe starts getting his together too... Mike starts to talk himself down "settle down, settle down"... Joe & Hali get stuck with a few pieces left... JOE Wins Reward! and gets some polite golf claps but no one is that excited he won.
-Joe gets to pick 3 people to join him on the Reward and he chooses Tyler, Will, Mama C (which they are calling Carolyn) and, of course, Jeff tells him he can choose one more.
Rodney starts running his mouth that he's been the hungriest out there and Joe says he also eats the most... which puts Rodney on the defensive (he can do whatever he wants after all) denying he eats more, then he takes himself out saying he doesn't care if Joe picks him, he's keeping it real (just. stop. talking.)
-Jeff tells Joe to pick and Shirin pipes up, "Super fan", and Joe reluctantly calls Shirin over - she's super annoying but it is a once in a lifetime experience and she will appreciate it (besides, Joe wants to work on Will and the White Collars - can't have a pesky Blue Collar around.)
-Rodney is still grumbling about keeping it real and Jenn mumbles, "I hate you." (I love Jenn.)
-Mike is devastated that Joe won another challenge - the kid's amazing, he's not sure how he can beat him.
REWARD
Zip-lining through the jungle - it looked like a lot of fun. Both Shirin and Carolyn would have had more fun if the other wasn't there - but, Pizza!
-Carolyn saw Joe's pick of no blue collar as a smart move.
-Joe noticed a clue in Carolyn's bottle of soda and said he wished he had more soda... she offered hers up right away and Joe tried to chug it down and take the clue in his mouth but it was too big and Tyler totally saw it - he didn't out him though - they both made a couple veiled comments which basically meant - I saw that and you better share. Tyler is curious about what new options may open up if Joe finds a hidden idol... and they are the only ones who know about it.
Merica - Day 21
It's barely dawn and Joe & Tyler are wide awake with Mike playing possum beside them. Joe gestures for him and Tyler to grab the dishes and they're going to go have a read of the clue. Mike follows because he knows there must have been a clue to the hidden immunity idol on the Reward and he wants it now that Jenn showed him the value of having one.
-Mike climbs a tree to watch as the other two read the clue and Mike doesn't understand why Joe would be showing Tyler the clue unless he wants to woo him over (oh, d'think?) Mike then goes and joins them which freaks Tyler out - did Mike see them reading the clue? Tyler doesn't want to alienate the group he's currently with so he tells Mike that Joe has the clue and then tells him basically what the clue said... thus began the mad dash of insanity as everyone on the Blue/White alliance sets out looking for Joe.
-Mike is fixated on getting Joe out and convinced that he needs the hidden idol to keep himself there. Mike finds Joe but didn't see him find anything... but he pretends he did and tells everyone that Joe found the idol. Joe is saying he has no idea what he's talking about but then he starts playing along, figuring maybe everything thinking he has the idol may be just as good as actually having the idol and maybe they'll leave him alone to look for it more.
-But Mike is the one doing the looking.
-Dan & Shirin are talking down by the water and he talks to her like he talks to all the women, he's such a condescending, self-important a-hole. He says he's surprised at her, a super-fan, siding with the short side - "another super-fan that can't do basic math." (Please sweet Godupus, get rid of Dan as well.) HA! and at the same time I was writing that, Dan is asking, "for the love of God will someone just slap this woman and shut her up" - he can't even be bothered to learn Shirin's name because she annoys him so much.
-Shirin felt sorry for Dan as he kept running his mouth trying to cut her down... he goes on and on pointing out how poorly she's playing and then tops it off by saying, "I'm just trying to be nice, I truly am." (Are you kidding me!?! What a complete gluteous maximus! I will not be sorry to see the last of Dan either.)
Merica - Day 21
-Mike is again up a tree looking for the idol - no luck - no luck, but he does find some termites to snack on (ew, you don't have to keep eating everything you find, we get it.) Mike is getting choked up talking to the camera about how he has to find the idol... he says people that find idols in this game are the people that work the hardest... and voila, Mike finds himself the idol! And cries... then does a happy dance. And he says he's not going to share it and he's set his sites on Joe - Joe has got to go.
Day 22 - IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
-They will race to move a puzzle piece through three slide mazes - once they get that same piece through the mazes they will then have to use the piece to complete a slide puzzle (I suck at those so much - hopefully Joe's good at them.) First to finish wins immunity.
-Then Shirin has a little back and forth with Jeff acting like a weirdo super fan...saying this should be right up her alley if she can control her excitement.
-Off they go and Joe makes it to the puzzle first, closely followed by the rest of them. Dan thinks he won it... Jeff comes to look at his puzzle - and he's wrong. They all go again and Dan thinks he has it again... and he's wrong again... leaving it open for JOE to Win Individual Immunity for the second time! Way to go JOE!
Polite golf claps again... but Joe is definitely the one to beat which Rodney is still blaming on Mike because if Rodney had his way Joaquin would be there instead of Joe and they'd all be sitting back eating rice & beans.
Merica - Day 22
-Shirin was hoping she could achieve a life goal by winning a challenge but Joe won, Joe wins everything. However, now everybody thinks she's so weak and non-threatening in every way that she's hoping it buys her a few more days. "I'm not that concerned." (Oh crap, that's the kiss of death - I may be out tonight with what's her name.)
-Mike, Dan, Sierra, Carolyn & Tyler are talking about voting out Shirin tonight - Tyler is saying he's pretty sure she doesn't have the immunity idol from the White Collar camp because she was looking
for it to the last day (oh, and Carolyn has it). Dan says he doesn't think Shirin's game is good enough for her to keep her mouth shut if she did have it, but she could be an idiot savant, though he's leaning more towards idiot (this guy needs to stop running his mouth and think - they know Shirin doesn't have it because...)
-Mike thinks Shirin is a never going to win anything so why bother with her at this point - he's thinking that the three No Collar are so tight they should take out one of the tri-pod and they'll crumble. So he wants to take out Hali. He'll vote Shirin if they all want to go that way but none of them thought Jenn had an idol either.
-Next we see Hali, Shirin, Jenn and Sierra having a chat down by the water and Shirin fills them in on the horrible things Dan hurled her way - Sierra can't help but pile on, Dan said some very unnecessarily hurtful things to her as well and she hasn't forgiven him for it - if they could take Dan out that would be amazing.
-Sierra wants to go with the girls if she can, she doesn't want to be stuck with the Blue Collar guys in the end. The girls decide if Dan's going to go misogynistic on them, the girls are going to take him out... if they can find another vote - because despite what Dan said, they can do math.
-Shirin goes and talks to Tyler (can we trust this guy?) she makes a good argument that this could be the last shot they have to take out one of the strong Blue Collars and even it out a little more - she tells him that Blue has no allegiance to him, he's a threat to them. Tyler looks to be considering it... (Oh please!)
TRIBAL COUNCIL
Tyler said a lot of people were bummed out after last tribal council, Kelly was well liked, but despite the things that were said about the chainsaw dividing up the tribe, he said that didn't happen, there was still a lot of talking among the survivors.
-Sierra agrees, she said the line wasn't completely drawn in the sand and she can go with whichever alliance she wants to.
-Mike knows that he is 155K% sure of what he's voting tonight but they all know how to tickle peoples ears - are you going to go with someone who gave you pizza or someone that provided for you the whole time you were out here?
-Dan says, as a fan of the game he knows the bomb can drop at any time and you just have to hope it's not going to drop on you. But you have to trust in your alliance and the three magic words: Flippers... Never... Win.
-Shirin pipes up that Dan is flat out wrong. Tony flipped a million times and still won, Epically. It's like a fear tactic that he's using with his alliance so no one will vote against him.
-Hali thinks Dan's sending a message but he needs to remember that they are Tribe Merica and if you look at history, what if the colonists never flipped on the greatest empire in the world. I think flippers have a great historical record to win this game. (It was both silly and highbrow - love it.)
And with that - It's TIME TO VOTE:
Mike votes Hali
Shirin votes Dan
Tallying the votes:
No one played a hidden immunity idol
Votes:
Dan - 1
Hali - 1
Dan - 2
Hali - 2
Dan - 3
Hali - 3
Dan - 4
Hali - 4, 5, 6... Darn it! Sierra! We said goodbye to Hali and have to suffer through more Dan next week.
And with Hali leaving us Cameron A, Maureen M. and Amy K. are out of the pool.
Next week - there is a really hard challenge that beats them all up on the water and Jenn is talking about throwing in the towel, "There's nothing out here for me but despair." (Oh come on, now.)
Hali: "I was shocked, I didn't think I was going home tonight." She thought they had the girl thing going but she understands the game play. She's just ready for a shot of whiskey and some ice cream.
(Good for her!)
Have a great rest of your week everybody,

Merica - Day 20
The girls are making food and Rodney has to have his nose in everything, he tells them to add more rice, he's trying to take the skin off the salami and they girls want it on... he tells the camera ever since the merge Joe's crew has been in charge of the food and he's tired of it - he feels like his alliance is running the game and he has no respect for anyone that hasn't earned it (Oh, please let Survivor karma get him this episode, please!)
