Signed, Sealed and Delivered
Last week Brains went to Tribal Council and they easily blindsided Liz who, along with Peter, thought they were running the game. But you should never underestimate 'crazy like a fox' Debbie.
Brains - Night 8
-They return from Tribal Council and Peter is feeling pretty shaken, Debbie (calling herself the Mastermind) goes and talks to him, saying he is still there because they wanted him there - She knows he's a narcissist so she strokes the ego a little while still taking him down a few pegs. Peter thinks he's now on the pea brain tribe, they no longer have a strong tribe (because Liz is gone? No, because he's not running things anymore. Sheesh.)
REWARD CHALLENGE
-This is the first time the Reward challenge is separate from the Immunity challenge. They are playing for Survivor kitchen supplies, first place gets a full kit, second place just salt & pepper and minimal supplies, third place nothing.
They have to race through a series of obstacles to a log which they have to dig themselves under, then they got to a sandy pit where they have to dig up three bags of balls. Once they have all the bags, they have to basically play Skeeball with them, getting all balls in the holes.
Everything goes along pretty normally despite the blistering heat, until they get to the digging up the balls and then it just falls apart. 45 minutes all the teams are still trying to dig up their balls, they are all exhausted and close to heat stroke. Finally Brains gets all their bags and they get the balls in the holes winning first reward - then they sit waiting for the other tribes to finish.
While Debbie is trying to hide in Joe's shadow he is looking at her state and decides they have to call for medical as she's close to heat stroke. While medical comes in to tend to Debbie, Beauty finally finds their third bag of balls and they get started trying to get the balls in the holes.
Brawn is lethargically trying to dig, Alecia is cheering them on (as she's just kicking the sand around instead of digging) and Scott snaps at her, "Yeah, keep cheerleading, that's all you're good for." (really dude? Why you got to always be an a-hole? Not saying she's not annoying and they aren't all doing this challenge on the surface of the sun with no water... but still.)
Beauty is down to trying to get their last ball in the hole and Brawn finally finds the last bag.
Oh yeah, Debbie is alright now, they've cooled her down, she's okay.
Brawn starts getting a couple balls in the holes but Caleb finally gets the last ball in for Beauty and the challenge is over... Then all hell breaks loose.
Caleb (Beauty) staggers over to a somewhat shadier spot and collapses on the ground. Cydney (Brawn) is collapsed beside a small post shaking and gagging with Jason trying to tend to her.
Medical is pulled from Debbie to tend to Caleb who is starting to shake and pass out. They have oxygen on him, ice on him - Jeff calls all the crew to stop whatever they are doing and bring aid to the contestants (I've never seen that happen before, you know this is serious when the only camera shot is from an overhead camera up in a tree.)
-Cydney has been moved over by Caleb so medical can monitor her as well - she's getting liquids and is having her blood pressure checked when it looks like Caleb stops breathing (WHAT THE???? At this point I'm thinking how irresponsible it was for the production to allow this challenge to go on so long that they endangered the players to this degree! I was scared and mad!)
-They start an IV on Caleb to get cold fluids into his system to try and cool him down, he is breathing and responding but his condition is so tenuous that the doctor makes the call that he has to be medically evacuated - Caleb is out of the game. (Holy Crap!)
-Beauty tribe was all crying but I felt especially bad for Tai, he lost his Survivor Boyfriend. Oh, and you should have heard the epic music they were playing for the fallen... It got a little over the top.
-Cydney, luckily, not as far gone, she still needs recovery time but she is able to stay in the game and Debbie is positively the picture of health compared to the other two that went down.
-So with Caleb being medically pulled from the game, that takes Terry B., Sue S., and Sunnie C. out of the pool. (They did put up a card that Caleb has 100% recovered and he wants to play again.)
Brawn - Day 9
-They return to camp and Cydney is trying to chill out and recover but Alecia has a bone to pick with Scot, she calls him out on his saying all she was good for was cheerleading... and she made her point... but then she just would not let it go, she just kept bringing it up over and over again until Jason blew up and had to walk away... and still she wouldn't shut her trap - and she's proud of herself, seeing this as her not giving up and not being intimidated, when she really has no social game to speak of (no outwitting here.)
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
-Two tribe members have to run into the jungle, climb up a wooden ladder and retrieve three rope puzzle pieces. Once they get back to the mat, two other tribe members will race out into the water, dive down and retrieve three more rope puzzle pieces. Once they get back to the mat, two tribe members will then begin trying to solve the rope puzzle (all the pieces are different sizes, they had to fit them in a set snake configuration...anyway, it was harder than it looked).
-Brains was behind from the start when Peter left one of the pieces behind in the jungle. They were the last tribe to start on the puzzle but once Debbie switched out with Peter, he proved a puzzle wizard and Brains was the first tribe finished to win immunity.
-Beauty was not doing that great, Julia got Nick to take her place and he was able to get the puzzle finished, also winning immunity.
-That left Brawn, even though Alecia tried to switch out with one of the guys, they did not come to her aid - so it was Brawn going to Tribal and I can't help feeling like they wanted it that way.
After the other two teams left the challenge area Jeff even asked them what were the odds that Alecia was not going home tonight - Scot holds up a big ol' zero - Jason says let's vote right now... and Jeff offers to have Tribal right there, but Alecia had to agree and she refused because that would be giving up (seriously? It's over, you lost.)
They didn't even show them back at camp, next scene was Tribal Council and Alecia was voted out (B'bye! She did vote for Scot and he was not happy about that, but he deserved a vote against him too, I don't really like any of these Brawn guys.)
So with Alecia leaving, that also takes Monica S., Cindi C. and Phillip K. out of the pool. (It was a blood bath for our pool this episode.)
Alecia's final thoughts - she's proud of herself, she didn't give up. (Yeah, she didn't learn a thing about dealing with people... Scot had said he hopes she watches this back and realizes what they were trying to tell her, but she's not going to realize anything, just saying.)
Next time: They are told to drop their buffs - they are switching things up. (Ooohh...)
Have a great rest of your week everybody,
Coleen
