You Call, We'll Haul
Last week was the merge with thirteen people and Chaos Kass for some reason decided she was going to try and call out Tasha as a liar which blew up in her face, aided by Ciera also trying to spread some lies about Savage right in front of his face... needless to say, Kass did not survive through that vote.
Orkun - Day 20
-Savage is patting himself on the back talking with Jeremy, "Brilliant plan, executed to perfection." (Ugh, get over yourself already.) He said his first goal in Survivor was to make the jury, and now he's done that so now his job is to stay the course, keep his alliance solid and pick off the Cieras and Abis and Wentworths (really, sexist much?) They say Ciera's call to 'play the game' was just her wanting to go after the guys... (can you blame her? You are apparently going after the girls, considering them expendable. I really hope a woman wins this season.)
-Savage says he knows they are planning a big move, he just has to figure out what it is and try to offset it.
-Stephen talks to Ciera because you know he wants to make big moves. She's got to convince him that now is the right time to make the move. Ciera says if it were up to her, she'd try to take Joe out if he doesn't win immunity again. Stephen sees surprised at that but he also doesn't want to get run over by the 'bros' (Jeremy, Savage, Joe) he thinks it is time to go after one of the real threats to win this game. (Of course all the women are completely discounted in this scenerio... I think Tasha could do it and even Wentworth, she's got a hidden idol still, she's just on the wrong side of the numbers right now.)
REWARD CHALLENGE
They are divided into two teams of six and they have to paddle a boat out to a series of four crates - they have to untie each crate, get it in their boat then return to the beach where they will have to stack them so no colour is repeated on each side.
-First team to get it right wins reward of the Survivor Cafe; iced coffee, bagels, cream cheese and cookies.
-First time they did a paddling challenge was season one when Kelly Wiglesworth, the river rafting guide, lost the challenge to Jervas, the guy who couldn't swim.
The teams are:
Green: Kimmi, Wentworth, Wiglesworth, Joe, Keith and Ciera.
vs
Purple: Jeremy, Savage, Tasha, Spencer, Stephen and Abi
Off they go and Wiglesworth's team is having trouble finding their rhythm but by the time they have to make the turn and come back to get the crates, they seem to have a handle on it, even pushing the other team off course to take the lead. Joe & Keith worked together to get their crates into the boat. Abi put purple farther behind taking too long on the knots so Spencer took over getting the blocks untied but they are a full block behind when green makes it to the beach.
Green team is stacking when Purple starts taking their crates up the beach.
But once they are all stacking it's neck and neck again... Purple thinks they have it but Stephen is wrong... and Green does get it right and wins Reward!
-Stephen is terrified at the thought of Joe and the girls being on the Reward together, they could get in his head and that could ruin everything.
Reward
-They arrive by tuk-tuk to the Survivor cafe - Kimmi was so super excited because she has never been on a Reward so it was super special to her and gave them a glimpse of the world outside the game.
-Ciera meanwhile is thinking the reward is super important because it's the perfect time to strategize - when people have a second to relax a little bit, then you can really hit them with the strategy and they could maybe see the light of day. She sees it as an opportunity to plant a few more seeds and build a few more relationships (are there really people that are this cold blooded and scheming all the time in everything they do? It's pretty scary - like my husband said, this is the perfect game for psychopaths.)
-So Ciera is working on the group and they are all full and mellow so they just let her drone on... she's fishing, she's hoping someone will just take the bait. She says Jeremy, Tasha, Stephen and Savage are not breaking up, as long as we have the numbers, it might be the time to make a move.
-Joe tells the camera he is with the Bayon, he's proven himself to them but he also knows that Ciera is right, they are really tight.
-He tells them all that Stephen will try to make a move, he knows the numbers... and Joe tells the camera he just has to make sure he makes the right move, with the right people, at the right time.
And we've lost Keith, he could care less about the strategy talk, he's checking out the tuk-tuks, "What are them, you call them rickshaws?" "To-to's, yeah" and he decides he wants to drive one... ha! That's awesome. They can all see Keith, retired to Cambodia and driving the tuk-tuk on the beach. Keith is loving it, doesn't get any better, he could get his Cambodia drivers license and do this, "You call, we'll haul. You call me up and we'll come git ya."
Orkun - Day 20
-They show them eating dried fruit... they have food. Stephen is super bummed about losing out on the Reward, the food and the chance to bond. Abi tells him to get over it, "Debbie Downer." (She's so comforting.) But Stephen finds more sympathetic company with Spencer and Jeremy when he tells them that he kinda lost his season due to bonds that were made at a Reward, he was never able to recover from that. Stephen is telling the camera that the people he needs to make a big move are off on the Reward bonding with Joe and that's his nightmare.
-Stephen & Jeremy are talking and Stephen tells him he doesn't want to waste days getting rid of the Cieras and Abis when there are real threats in the game (grr, I get it, you figure they're not going to win so why waste time on them, but there is no short cut, if you keep them around they can start to out-number you and take over...)
-Stephen says he's been thinking, if Joe doesn't win immunity they should make a move on Joe.
-Jeremy has known Stephen wanted to take Joe out from day one
but he's been reluctant to give up his Man-Bun Shield - but every time Joe wins, the bullseye on his back keeps getting bigger and bigger. Jeremy says his alliance will be down for it, if the opportunity presents itself.
-This is all about the ghost of JT for Stephen, he just doesn't want to be the guy that is pulled to the end as the goat, and to make sure that doesn't happen he has to start driving.
-Stephen then goes to Spencer and tells him he was thinking if Joe lost, they can get the votes together to get him out. Spencer agrees that Joe would never suspect a blindside coming this early in the merge... Spencer is willing to play ball, Joe is favoured to win most of the immunity challenges so they'd be stupid not to try and take him out if they can.
-Stephen is then talking to Tasha (he's everywhere) - he tells her he's been thinking, if Joe loses immunity, what would she think about voting him out? Tasha says it's a possibility... Stephen goes on saying it would obviously have to be a blindside... and Savage skulks by in the bushes and overhears this conversation and he's disgusted with the lying, scheming deceit... (what a hypocrite) Savage has a great alliance with Joe, he loves the guy, so he's not going anywhere and if Savage has to go toe to toe with Stephen, bring it on. (Ugh, Savage is one of those guys - things always go their way, people follow them and they don't realize that is not how the world works for everyone.)
Orkun - Day 21
-Savage tells Joe that Stephen is diabolical and keeps throwing Joe's name out. It comes as no surprise to Joe, he knew this was coming but he didn't expect it so soon.
-Savage is doing the super intense, 'on my kids lives' promise that he will never write Joe's name down (showing the old school there - you never swear on your kids man, home life needs to stay out of the game. And this has no weight anymore, it's become a trope, a joke because no one keeps their word on these shows anymore.)
Of course, Savage really means it and Joe knows he can trust Savage - but if Stephen has rallied the numbers, he knows if he doesn't win immunity, he's gone.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
-They will have to balance a ball on a disk attached to two ropes. At regular intervals they will move their hands down the ropes taking them farther away from the disk and making it harder to keep the ball balanced on it. If the ball drops, they are out. Last man standing wins immunity.
-This challenge was run once before, Jeremy was the first out and Keith won... so lets see if history repeats.
Seconds in - and Kelley Wentworth and Ciera are out... way to go ladies... no sooner had I typed that than Wiglesworth was out followed by Jeremy - there is no forgiveness is the floating disk. Abi is out, Fishbach is out, Savage is out.
10 minutes in - and they move back on the ropes - Kimmi has been able to save herself to this point but she drops the ball and we're down to four.... spoke too soon, there goes Tasha.
-Now we have Keith, Joe and Spencer who make it the 20 minutes to move back to the farthest position.
-Joe and Keith show a little bit of movement but it's Spencer who is next out and we have a showdown between Keith & Joe which lasts another 10 minutes.
-At 30 minutes they add a second ball to the disk and there is no time limit... if those balls start going in opposite directions you're in trouble... Joe's balls are moving all over the place but he's able to keep correcting enough and it's surprisingly Keith that loses his ball and JOE wins immunity again - much to Fishbach's dismay.
-Joe thanks God that he won immunity, he's thinking they should go after Stephen.
Orkun - Day 21 Baby monkey!
-Stephen is so frustrated, he's been working on getting Joe out since the beginning and he wins frickin' immunity again. It's like Moby Dick, Joe is Stephen's white whale.
-Joe asks Savage where his head's at, and Savage thinks they should go with Stephen. Joe is thinking he can use the three girls that are on the bottom to do it.
-Next we see Joe talking to Wentworth and Wiglesworth on the beach and Joe tells them Savage is thinking Stephen tonight and Wentworth is all for it, she thought that she, Ciera and Abi were screwed then this fell in her lap. Joe says he's writing Stephen's name down no matter what and she agrees that's what she's going to do, "Fish."
-Wentworth tells the camera, yes, she has a hidden immunity idol but she doesn't want to use it this early in the game if she doesn't HAVE to.
-Next we see Wentworth walking with Ciera and she tells her she has to promise to keep this to herself (Oh no, don't tell her about your hidden idol!) she tells her the vote is for Fishbach tonight (phew, that scared me for a minute, don't give Ciera ammunition, that would not be a good move.) Total Blindside. Wentworth and Ciera agree they are good with anyone else being voted tonight as long as it's not them.
-Savage is talking to Wiglesworth and Tasha and he tells them that Stephen is really dangerous, he knows his big move is coming and thinks they should take him out tonight. Jeremy comes and crashes the party and Savage tells him it's Fishbach because he's been talking about getting rid of Joe.
-Jeremy tells the camera he thinks that would be a bad move for him because Stephen has been with him for 20 days and he's built trust with him - he wants to keep Stephen with him far into the game, "Once the big guys start going at each other, I want to have all the bullets." (I guess it's Fishbach shield now.)
-Jeremy pushes back, as Savage is saying that Fishbach fancies himself one of the best strategists in the game... Jeremy says, "I hear what you're saying but I don't want to let those girls keep going."
-Spencer (where did he come from) says they know what Stephen is trying to do and he won't be able to do it without their cooperation so he's not an imminent threat.
-Jeremy goes on that he thinks they should take out Wentworth or Ciera before they start trimming the fat on their side.
-Savage concedes the argument, he made his pitch for Stephen, it didn't fly, so he's going to bow to the groups wishes (much to his disappointment) but he does agree that Ciera and Wentworth are dangerous so it's just deciding which one they vote out first.
-Joe asks Tasha what's going on - she tells him that none of them trust Stephen but they don't want to take him out and create a divide so soon. This makes Joe nervous.
-Joe meets with Wiglesworth, Ciera and Wentworth at the beach and tells them it's 'no bueno' Fishbach apparently had more connections than he anticipated. Wiglesworth tells them Savage was all for it but... Ciera says it's one of us tonight then and Wentworth thinks it's her - Joe doesn't know yet.
-Wentworth tells the camera that Joe wouldn't grow a pair so that plan fell by the wayside. Ciera is equally sick of their half-assed plans - Wentworth, Ciera and Abi agree that they should all vote together, they just need to decide what name to write down.
-Ciera has been pleading with these people to play but they don't seem to want to do that, now she's praying for a miracle at tribal council ideally.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
Kass comes in as the first member of the jury and gives them all the finger (Ha! What the??? I think she's a little crazy-sauce.)
-Ciera says she still thinks that no one if fighting for their spot in the top and it's frustrating for her.
-Wentworth says there are four people running this game and they are going to go one by one up the ladder and that's it.
Jeff points out there are eight other people that could easily swallow that four.
-Kelley - you'd think so, but nobody wants to make a move.
Jeff asks Ciera to make a big move and name the four.
-She says it's Jeremy, Savage, Tasha... and Stephen or Joe... which makes them laugh a bit, not sure if it's Stephen or Joe.
-Jeremy says that's a joke, they named five people, so they don't even know who's running the show (ask Jeremy to name them off then...)
Jeff says it doesn't matter if it's true or not, it only matters what people believe.
-Savage says there is a bunch of us that talk often and we have mutual respect for each other but there are also others that are on the same level as us and we make decisions as a group.
-Ciera (is doing ridiculous amounts of eye-rolling through his whole speech) she doesn't believe that anyone would buy that - in an alliance there is a top and a bottom and there are definitely people playing but she wants those people not at the top to wake up.
-Spencer agrees what Ciera is saying probably is true and maybe people are waiting for someone to flip or maybe there is an idol in play, we haven't seen any idols... Jeff asks more about that, it seems like no one is looking for them - Spencer says maybe there aren't any idols or maybe they have been found and they're just waiting to be played (Wentworth and Jeremy are keeping their mouths shut! But Wentworth does have a little smile on her face.)
-Savage thinks Ciera's plea is fascinating and it's one she can make because she's not in the alliance and she's at the bottom (she rolling and crossing her eyes now - oh grow up, she's annoying me, Abi gets in on the act as well - you are taking away from your argument with your silly antics ladies.)
-Stephen puts forth the theory that there isn't really a bottom here, the way the game is being played this season is different than all the thirty previous seasons (oh no it's not, don't kid yourself) they've switched a dozen times and it's not hierarchical like it has been before, this is different (uh, I don't know about that.)
-Ciera says some things are never going to change, in an alliance, somebody's on the top and somebody's on the bottom. Some of you know you are not in the tight four and nobody's doing anything about it, that's why I'm frustrated.
-Wentworth says it's obvious that Abi, Ciera and herself are on the bottom so it seems like the easy vote is one of us. But someone came to her today and said they wanted to make a big move, she didn't go to them... so the tight four may not be as tight as they think. Jeff asks why she doesn't make a big move and out that person, "Well, what if I'm here tomorrow and I have to work with them." (Exactly.)
Alright, it's time to vote: And we get more gymnastic eye rolls from Ciera (didn't your mother ever tell you not to do that or your eyes could stick that way?)
They didn't show us how anyone voted.
Tallying the votes:
Jeff asks if anybody has a hidden immunity idol they want to play, this would be the time to do so... long pause... will she or won't she?... and Kelley Wentworth says, "You know Jeff, I may be on the bottom but I'm not ready to go home yet." And there is shock and amazement rippling throughout the tribe, some good some bad.
Jeremy laughs, Savage looks pissed, Spencer is in awe and Ciera says this is her favourite moment... no one knew, it was fabulous.
Jeff confirms that any votes cast for Wentworth will not count.
Votes:
Wentworth - 1 (OH YEAH!)
Wentworth - 2
Wentworth - 3
Wentworth - 4
Wentworth - 5 (Um, did they not think to split the vote? I guess not.)
Wentworth - 6
Wentworth - 7
Wentworth - 8 - all do not count.
Savage - 1 Wentworth and Ciera fist bumped and Savage hung his head and muttered, "Unbelievable." (Oh, is it really? See what underestimating the girls got ya?)
Savage - 2 - that enough, SAVAGE is the second member of the jury.
And a he leaves Abi yells to him, "You made it to the jury." He gives her the finger (wow, lots of birds being thrown around tonight, hahaha.)
That was Awesome! You have got to love when the hidden immunity idol is used to such dramatic effect!
And with Savage leaving, that takes Sandie G., Carol-Anne D., and Cindi C. out of the pool.
Next week: Everyone is looking for a hidden immunity idol and during the challenge where they have to balance on a triangular perch out in the water, Jeff releases a row of buoys and says first person to reach the buoy gets an advantage in the game. (OOH!)
Savage's final thoughts: that was stunning, no one saw that coming... Wentworth did. He did some things out there he didn't do 12 years ago and he played the strategy game pretty good up to two minutes ago. It rips his heart out. (Can't say I'm sad to see him go - b'bye.)
Have a great weekend everyone,
Coleen

-Savage says there is a bunch of us that talk often and we have mutual respect for each other but there are also others that are on the same level as us and we make decisions as a group.
-Ciera (is doing ridiculous amounts of eye-rolling through his whole speech) she doesn't believe that anyone would buy that - in an alliance there is a top and a bottom and there are definitely people playing but she wants those people not at the top to wake up.
-Spencer agrees what Ciera is saying probably is true and maybe people are waiting for someone to flip or maybe there is an idol in play, we haven't seen any idols... Jeff asks more about that, it seems like no one is looking for them - Spencer says maybe there aren't any idols or maybe they have been found and they're just waiting to be played (Wentworth and Jeremy are keeping their mouths shut! But Wentworth does have a little smile on her face.)
-Savage thinks Ciera's plea is fascinating and it's one she can make because she's not in the alliance and she's at the bottom (she rolling and crossing her eyes now - oh grow up, she's annoying me, Abi gets in on the act as well - you are taking away from your argument with your silly antics ladies.)
-Stephen puts forth the theory that there isn't really a bottom here, the way the game is being played this season is different than all the thirty previous seasons (oh no it's not, don't kid yourself) they've switched a dozen times and it's not hierarchical like it has been before, this is different (uh, I don't know about that.)
-Ciera says some things are never going to change, in an alliance, somebody's on the top and somebody's on the bottom. Some of you know you are not in the tight four and nobody's doing anything about it, that's why I'm frustrated.
-Wentworth says it's obvious that Abi, Ciera and herself are on the bottom so it seems like the easy vote is one of us. But someone came to her today and said they wanted to make a big move, she didn't go to them... so the tight four may not be as tight as they think. Jeff asks why she doesn't make a big move and out that person, "Well, what if I'm here tomorrow and I have to work with them." (Exactly.)
Alright, it's time to vote: And we get more gymnastic eye rolls from Ciera (didn't your mother ever tell you not to do that or your eyes could stick that way?)
They didn't show us how anyone voted.
Tallying the votes:
Jeff asks if anybody has a hidden immunity idol they want to play, this would be the time to do so... long pause... will she or won't she?... and Kelley Wentworth says, "You know Jeff, I may be on the bottom but I'm not ready to go home yet." And there is shock and amazement rippling throughout the tribe, some good some bad.
Jeremy laughs, Savage looks pissed, Spencer is in awe and Ciera says this is her favourite moment... no one knew, it was fabulous.
Jeff confirms that any votes cast for Wentworth will not count.
Votes:
Wentworth - 1 (OH YEAH!)
Wentworth - 2
Wentworth - 3
Wentworth - 4
Wentworth - 5 (Um, did they not think to split the vote? I guess not.)
Wentworth - 6
Wentworth - 7
Wentworth - 8 - all do not count.
Savage - 1 Wentworth and Ciera fist bumped and Savage hung his head and muttered, "Unbelievable." (Oh, is it really? See what underestimating the girls got ya?)
Savage - 2 - that enough, SAVAGE is the second member of the jury.
And a he leaves Abi yells to him, "You made it to the jury." He gives her the finger (wow, lots of birds being thrown around tonight, hahaha.)
That was Awesome! You have got to love when the hidden immunity idol is used to such dramatic effect!
And with Savage leaving, that takes Sandie G., Carol-Anne D., and Cindi C. out of the pool.
Next week: Everyone is looking for a hidden immunity idol and during the challenge where they have to balance on a triangular perch out in the water, Jeff releases a row of buoys and says first person to reach the buoy gets an advantage in the game. (OOH!)
Savage's final thoughts: that was stunning, no one saw that coming... Wentworth did. He did some things out there he didn't do 12 years ago and he played the strategy game pretty good up to two minutes ago. It rips his heart out. (Can't say I'm sad to see him go - b'bye.)
Have a great weekend everyone,
Coleen
