The Circle of Life
Last week Brawn went to Tribal Council again and Jenny couldn't keep her mouth shut which sealed her fate (maybe that bug in her ear did more damage than we thought)... and inexplicably Alecia survived another vote.
Brawn - Night 6
They return from Tribal Council, Alecia is mad that Scot still voted for her and now she wants him gone - but she also trusts Cydney more and vents to her, while Cydney is still tight with the guys and just tells them whatever she says... things are far from harmonious in Brawn-town.
Beauty - Day 7
Tai is still trying to get the idol - he goes while everyone is eating, hoping they will be too distracted to notice. So he goes back to the tree, but now he's lost the tool they gave him to get the key - why does nothing in his life come easy? He's given this some thought and instead of climbing the tree he's fashioned a long pole and improvised the tool on the end - and he is able to push the key out of the cylinder... and finally open the box to the idol. But this is no ordinary idol - the twist this season is; two idols will fit together to make a Super-idol which can be used AFTER the votes have been read (on it's own, it is a regular idol.)
Brains - Day 7
Dr. Peter is telling us that he and Liz are running the tribe but they are managing two other sets of two in Debbie & Joe and Aubry & Neal (really, you're running things are you?) They want to keep Debbie & Joe around as their goats and take out Neal.
-Debbie isn't as unaware as they seem to think, she's gathering intel and sees pretty clearly what those two are: Peter has a superiority complex and Liz is a prima donna princess. Since they need Peter for challenges, her first target is Liz. She tells Joe they have to move to acquire Aubry & Neal's votes to split up Liz & Peter.
-Debbie thinks she's being all covert and smart but when she talks to Aubry & Neal she's just creepy and even though she is saying she likes them and wants to work with them, you can see both of
them are kind of uneasy because she's just so weird.
Beauty - Day 7
Tai has a really hard time with killing the chicken, he knows it's the circle of life and they need the protein so he doesn't try to stop them he even holds the bird, but then he cries. All the girls are very moved by Tai's kind heart and then there is model douchebag Nick who dismisses all the emotion, "Animals eat other animals. They're there to eat." He's turning all the girls against him with his callus attitude.
-Poker player Anna is thinking strategy, she knows the three girls are solid and they need to pull over one of the guys - Nick rubs her the wrong way so she talks to Caleb and proposes he vote with the girls to take out Nick.
Brawn - Day 7
Scot is out trying to find a hidden immunity idol especially now because he doesn't trust Alecia and doesn't want her to get it... but of course who stumbles across the clue - Alecia... but she's with Cydney and trusts Cydney so they start digging and who sees them digging but Jason. Oh now it's on.
Alecia sees Jason, he takes off. Alecia takes off to find something to dig with and Cydney has found the box, she pretended she hadn't found anything so she could get Alecia to leave... but it's the same deal as what Tai found - locked box, tool and clue to find the key. Alecia comes back, she couldn't find the hoe to dig, Cydney has re-buried the locked box and they go back to camp acting natural like nothing happened.
-Cydney knows she has to tell the guys because Jason saw them so she quietly tells them Alecia found a clue and the guys take off running to the tree - the girls follow slower Alecia asking Cydney if she told them and she says, he saw us, plain and simple.
Jason finds the box and the clue with the map and he just takes off running like a bat out of hell - it was funny watching the bouncing video as the cameraman tried to keep up with him (bounty hunter can run) and now all of them are running after him, Alecia doesn't want to lose her idol to him... but the guys fashion a pole and push out the key, then Jason makes sure to bowl over Alecia so she can't get it... (it's getting pretty Lord of the Flies on the Brawn tribe.)
-Alecia watches as Jason and Scott open the box and retrieve the idol but she didn't stick around for the reading of the Super Idol
instructions. Jason & Scott think they're invincible, if they can get the other idol (now I'm wondering, does the Super Idol only come into play once they merge? What if there is only one idol per tribe so there can't be a SuperIdol until they're all together. Huh.)
IMMMUNITY CHALLENGE
They will jump off a platform out on the water and swim in to a boat where they will retrieve three bags of rice, then they must work together to get the bags through some obstacles and onto the beach where they will split open the bags and search through the rice for three balls - once they have the balls, one tribe member must balance on a beam and try to maneuver a ball using hand pulleys along a vertical maze of holes, to the top of the board - once they get all three balls seated in their holes at the top, they'll win Immunity and reward.
First tribe will have a choice between comfort items or their emotional items.
Second tribe gets what's left.
Beauty tribe sits Anna & Michelle. Brain tribe sits Aubry & Joe.
Off they go - and the bags of rice are heavy! Getting into the beach it's Beauty, Brawn and then Brains.
Beauty does really well with the maze - Sorority girl Julia, and Tai both get their balls to the top. Brawn having trouble, Cydney does not do slow and steady and keeps losing the ball in the holes - she swaps out with Jason. Brains starts catching up as Debbie gets a ball in.
Beauty tribe Wins - immunity and choice of Reward.
We are neck and neck for second place and it's BRAWN! by a hair. That means Brains is going to Tribal tonight.
Beauty chooses comfort, takes the pillows and blankets.
Brawn gets emotional items - a note, a picture, a teddy bear...
Brains - Day 8
-Liz & Peter think losing today was good for them (that's never a good sign - losing is never good) but they are looking forward to voting Neal out. Liz thinks they'll tell Aubry & Neal that Joe is going
home tonight - but the actual plan is to split the votes between Neal & Aubry in case Neal has a hidden immunity idol. Their downfall is going to be thinking they are smarter than everyone and underestimating Debbie's cunning (she's stupid like a fox...)
-Liz lays out the plan exactly how they see it working to Debbie - expecting she'll go along like a good soldier - which she pretends she's going to do - but Debbie is having none of this plan.
-Debbie goes and tells Neal that Liz & Peter are voting for Aubry because they think he has an idol. Neal thinks they need to be punished for spreading lies.
-Neal goes and confirms with Peter & Aubry that they're voting Joe tonight - to keep the tribe strong and Peter is oblivious to anything possibly not going his way.
-Peter pontificates to the camera that these people need to be led like children and he's their father figure.
-Aubry doesn't feel that Peter has any emotional intelligence and she doesn't know that he's someone they can move forward with... to her Peter is the bigger threat and she talks to Debbie about taking him out instead of Liz. They agree he's a narcissistic bully who is playing this game with overbearing exuberance - maybe he is the better choice to take out first.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
-Peter lays out that there are basically three pairs in this tribe.
-Debbie says they are all analytical and playing the game without letting emotion rule their decisions...
-Neal pipes up, "or maybe we just think we're the smartest one in the game and we'll be fine."
-Aubry says you have to also be able to pick up on social clues, not everything is numbers.
-Peter thinks he's a professional in social interaction being an ER doctor (I don't think he understands what they mean... or he really is blind to his own failings.)
-Liz thinks paranoia is a strong word but if anyone doesn't have some fear that there is a conspiracy out to get them, they're probably not thinking enough about how to play.
-Peter said they were bummed after the loss but okay because the plan is going forward.
-Neal says he's not worried about Peter's plan and that rankles P
Peter to the point that he calls Neal a snake in ice cream pants and spills their whole plan (what the heck??? Are you that insecure?) - they can split the vote, take Neal or Aubry out and forge ahead as the brains.
-Debbie says good for him for laying out what he wants to happen (and then she shuts up - Debbie is proving better at this than anticipated.)
-Liz thinks the person going home with not be completely shocked.
-Neal thinks they'll go forward as a stronger tribe, but what stronger means, we shall see.
-Peter says he and Liz are smart people, they've thought of everything and he just wants to vote. (Aubry says wow, and everyone else is just blown away by his ridiculous hubris.)
Time to Vote
Liz votes Aubry
Debbie says, "The world does not revolve around you, but good luck"... but they didn't show that she voted for Peter (who else could it be?)
Tallying the Votes:
No hidden idol... though Neal does pretend to look around.
Votes:
Aubry - 1, 2
Peter - 1 - that took the smirk off his face
Peter - 2
Liz - 1, 2
So it's a three way tie, Aubry, Liz and Peter will not vote and the rest can only vote for one of those three. Liz is looking for Peter's reassurance but he's trying to be smirkingly cool, like this isn't killing him.
Re-Vote:
LIZ (What???) Why wouldn't they cut off the head of the snake??? I guess they still want Peter's strength in challenges and hopefully this will knock him down a peg or ten.
Oh yeah, with Liz leaving that takes out Shelly P., Kim K., and Coleen T. (Sigh.) Liz was my girl in the pool so yes, I am out of both Survivor and the Amazing race already - I must have screwed up my pool karma somehow.
Next time: The punishing heat takes someone out in the challenge - med-evac here we come.
Liz's final words - she was very confident things would work out for her, she doesn't know what happened to make them want to vote her out (then you better become more self-aware sweetheart) she blah blah'd- about numbers not lying but people lie (whatever, they're done with you - goodbye!)
Have a good rest of the week everyone,
Coleen
