Play or Go Home
Last week they switched up the Brains, Brawn & Beauty into two tribes with a single player, Julia, on her own until someone was voted out and she could assume their place. The new Gondol tribe lost at the immunity challenge and poker player Anna was not saved by Tai who bogarted that hidden immunity idol for himself - b-bye Anna.
Gondol - Night 13
Peter decides to step up his game and starts talking to everyone about taking Joe and/or Aubry out. But Dr. Peter really is not very smart in the ways of Survivor or he's too arrogant to credit realize other people may be as smart as he is. He makes it very obvious to Aubry & Joe that he is talking to everyone BUT them... and they ain't no dummies.
Chan Loh - Day 14
Debbie has set her sights on the Greek God (in her eyes) Nick and he's vain enough to want any and all attention lavished on him. Nick is pretty savvy in sizing up Debbie as someone who needs to talk and feel like she's being heard, so he'll let her, but he's not drinking the kool aid.
-Oh yeah, and apparently Debbie has been modeling off and on through the years (Lady! Come On!)
-Tree mail lets them know there is going to be some basketball required so Nick starts practicing - he was a point guard in high school but he's going up against an NBA player cause you know Scot is shooting for them.
REWARD CHALLENGE
Julia comes in and joins Gondol - welcome, now prove yourself!
They start out on a platform in the water, one player has to swim out and dive down to release a group of buoys, once they all pop to the surface the rest of the tribe jumps in to herd the buoys to the beach where one player will shoot the balls into a basket - first tribe to get 10 buoys in their baskets wins a huge food reward: breads, meats, cheese, veggies, tuna, beverages - that looks really good actually.
-So the story here is Michele on the Chan Loh tribe could not get the knots untied to release their buoys which put them behind. Scot was shooting for Gondol but he wasn't doing so hot, Nick actually gave him a run for his money - but in the end, the tribe with the former NBA player won the reward.
Gondol - Day 14
They return with the food and Julia is playing get-to-know you with the tribe. Peter glommed on to her and pitches his idea to take out Joe and Aubry... and Joe & Aubry are watching him. What a dope.
-Joe decides he's going to confront Peter about trying to vote Joe out - he'll know he's lying because of his FBI experience. Peter was genuinely shocked that Joe had any inkling of what he had been doing (because he doesn't give anyone else credit for having a brain I guess) and Peter lies of course and Joe knows, of course.
Chan Loh - Day 14
Michelle knows its time for her to try and make some connections, she really likes Debbie, she's quirky and honest (quirky - that is a good word for her actually) and Michelle wants to align with the Brains. Debbie isn't very fond of Jason and so Michelle goes to Nick, her Beauty ally and proposes they side with Brains to take Jason out and Nick shoots her down immediately. "We're not doing that." Nick has no respect for Michelle, he treats her like an idiot and she'll only put up with it until she can get him out. He dictates that they are sticking with Brawn. (I actively dislike Nick on all levels. Just saying.)
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
They had to go over a series of obstacles as a tribe, then two tribes members will use poles to knock blocks out of an overhead net. Once they have all the blocks they must stack them (there are two sizes) into one tall tower - first team to get all their blocks stacked so they stay long enough for them all to run back to their mat will win immunity.
-The teams were pretty much neck and neck throughout but the story here comes down to the stacking strategy. Peter wanted to stack the small blocks first then have Scot the Giant hold them up so they could stack the larger block underneath them - but the tower was even too tall for Scot to hold - it involved getting Debbie standing on Nick's shoulders to get their blocks all stacked... and Chan Loh won immunity, sending Gondol back to Tribal Council again.
Gondol - Day 16
Eventhough Aubry doesn't trust Peter and he screwed up with the block stacking strategy, she is more worried about losing the Brains majority on the tribe and convinces Joe they should take the easy vote of Julia and keep Peter.
-She sends Joe to make peace with Peter and they kind of make up, enough for Peter to decide to stick with the Brains and vote Julia out with them.
-When Peter tells Scot he's scratched his mutiny plan and is voting Julia, he says it like it's no big deal, of course he can do whatever he wants, but Scot's sick of Peter's BS and rallies Tai & Julia to vote Peter.
-Julia knows a tie isn't good enough, Joe is too loyal to sway so she goes and talks to Aubry and lets her know that Peter had approached her to take both Joe and Aubry out. When Aubry heard Peter had been throwing her name around, she didn't let on it bothered her and Scot & Tai decided they don't want a tie so they'll just vote Julia too.
-But things have changed for Aubry - she can't take the uncertainty of Peter anymore and talks to Joe about voting Peter tonight. Joe's having none of it, the plan had been made, when you scramble you screw yourself - he's not changing his vote again. For Joe, it's Julia and Aubry is torn.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
Honestly, I wasn't paying much attention, old tribes, new tribes, growing pains, blah blah blah...
-Scot says something about people changing their minds every few minutes - there is more blah blah about how complex the tribe dynamic is and then Tai just sits up and whispers to Scot - Peter?
Scot confirms "Original?" Aubry looks at him and he mouths, Peter.
Jeff asks what's going on and Scot tells Julia to stick with the original plan - she's all smiles - for her the original plan has always been Peter.
-Joe knows his original plan but Aubry's now in a tailspin, she doesn't know what to do - Scot's told her Peter, Joe is voting Julia.
Time to Vote:
Peter votes Julia - this was the original plan as far as I know.
Aubry hesitates... then writes Julia (Awh!)
Tallying the votes:
No one plays a hidden immunity idol.
Votes:
Peter - 1
Julia - 1
Peter - 2
Julia - 2
Peter - 3
Final vote is Aubry's vote withJulia PETER written loud and clear! (Wow, changed her mind at the last minute. Good for her, the dumb doctor had to go.)
So with Peter leaving us tonight, that takes Bernice R., Lindsay J. and Tori K. out of the pool.
Next week: It's the Merge! (Holy, not giving them any time to get comfortable this season.)
Peter's final thoughts - Disappointed in Joe & Aubry but a million dollars isn't worth his dignity (whatever, they owed you nothing) - then the dig - no one is going deep in that tribe anyway so he'll enjoy seeing what happens in the next few days. (Arrogant prick to the end.)
Have a wonderful Easter weekend everyone,
