The Jocks vs The Pretty People
Last week the tribes merged and the jocks and pretty people seemed to be banding together but Brain Neal was taken out by an infection on the knee so they were spared Tribal Council.
Dara - Day 19
-Neal just boated away and they are all kinda in shock. The Brains are coming to terms with the fact that they are down in numbers, and will have to try to find a way to stay in it. Brawn & Beauty are staying the course - in case Neal left his idol behind, the plan is to split their votes between Debbie & Aubry and start taking out the Brains.
Dara - Day 20
-Jason comes clean about his daughter's autism... makes him more relatable and human - so you can almost forget how big a jerk he can be.
-Cydney sees this as Jason being more of a threat to her now, it was touching how he talked about his daughter, she'd give him money too - she's got to start thinking about who she can beat.
REWARD CHALLENGE
They were divided into two teams of 5 - starting out on a platform in the water, they will use stepping poles to move one person from one platform to another (and it was a pretty long way) - once they get the one person across, all five team members had to climb on a small platform and have everyone's feet on or above the top to win the Reward of... Ice Cream, delivered to camp, to enjoy in front of the losers. (nice.)
Teams: Julia, Scott, Nick, Debbie & Tai (picked by Julia, large and small)
Aubry, Michelle, Cydney, Jason and Joe (all the middle of the road picked by Aubry.)
And this was a blow out - with Scott and Nick there to anchor the stepping poles, they were able to transfer Julia across. The other team could not get any of the girls (and they did try them all) more than two steps. Team Julia won the reward quite handily.
Back at Camp:
The Ice Cream MAN! He was waiting for them and made them whatever they wanted. Being respectful they didn't rub it in the other team's faces, it was a little awkward but whatever, they earned it.
-This was a get to know you episode, we get to hear more of Scott's background. He's mormon, his dad died when he was teenager, his mom is in assisted living with a rare disease and he financially helps out his brothers and their families - that's why he wants the money (hmmm, I don't know.) But the family aspect worked with Julia, she thinks he's awesome.
Dara - Day 21
Julia, Michelle, Cydney and Tai go fishing in the boat - Jason, Scott and Nick start speculating about whether there is an all-girl alliance in the making, they are evenly split guys to girls right now... Nick doesn't think it will happen (because he thinks the girls will do whatever he says) but to allay their fear he blatantly pulls Julia aside when they get back and point blank asks her if they talked about an all-girl alliance. She tells him no, he says he knew it and then openly reports to Scott & Jason, "we're good."
-Cydney watched the whole thing and called them all on it - saying if they want to check up on us [girls], send someone better than Nick. (She was ready to snap.) All the guys act dumb, "oh uh, no, not us... we weren't checking up on you." Then Jason asks her to go get water with him so they can talk.
-He throws Nick under the bus, that it was all him, he and Scott had nothing to do with it. Cydney's not really buying it, she knows the guys think they can do whatever they want, talk to whomever they want, but if she goes and talks to anyone, all of a sudden there is an all-girl alliance. Irritated Cydney will blow this whole game up, so don't check her boo.
-This also got Cydney thinking, maybe picking off the Brains isn't her best move - if the guys have to go, they have to go. (Oh yeah! Irritated Cydney is my favourite!)
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
They will have to stand with their heels on a small perch, their back against a post and their hands holding a handle behind their head (so basically a crucifixion pose - ouch.) If the hands come off the handle or the feet come off the perch, they're out.
-It seems like this hurts immediately and Jeff pretty quickly tells them there is going to be a food temptation... but he drags out bringing it out and Julia is first out seconds before she can get the food. Once Jeff starts the countdown - Jason, Scott, Joe and Michelle step down for the pizza, brownies, hot dogs, chicken and cold beverages.
-That leaves Nick, Tai, Debbie, Aubry and Cydney in the challenge.
-Tai said he stayed to see how far he could push his body and to make sure a Brain doesn't get it.
-Nick takes the Brain bashing to a douchy height by laying it out for Jeff that the Brains are outnumbered and on the chopping block, saying it with a smirk that just makes you want to punch him in the head.
-Debbie & Aubry fall out and Nick steps down as soon as the Brains are out because he's a cocky jerk and confident he doesn't need immunity himself, he just had to make sure the Brains didn't get it.
-Cydney and Tai go to the bitter end, he looked tortured the whole time but she was solid until it looked like the pain hit her like a ton of bricks and she dropped. TAI won immunity and they both collapsed on the ground, he hugged and kissed her (aww.)
Dara - Day 22
-Tai came back and checked in with his chicken, "you have a good day." (Ha! I can't help but love Tai.)
-Nick wants to take advantage of Aubry's weak position, he's confident that Debbie will be going home but he wants to give Aubry enough information so she'll stay and hopefully feel like she owes him. He hints that they are splitting the vote between Joe & Debbie and she'll be safe if she votes for Debbie. Acting the arrogant jerk, which he fully admits, but she can't do anything about it, so whatever.
-Cydney makes her very discrete move by rounding up Debbie & Aubry before Nick sees them. Nick's getting a little too big for his britches and he's rubbing her the wrong way, so she points out to the ladies that they are even in numbers right now and they have to s
trike now - to take Nick out. He needs to go now.
-Debbie was hoping her Survivor boyfriend would come around but if it has to be Nick, so be it. The girls are in! (Oh, please, please make this happen - that guy has gots to go!)
-Next we see Cydney with Julia & Michelle out in the water and she is smart, playing it more cautiously with these two... "Are you close to Nick?" He checks in with them... Cydney asks how they'd feel about voting Nick out? Julia is okay with it but Michelle still considers him part of her alliance and thinks she may want him around a bit longer (NOOOOO!)
TRIBAL COUNCIL
Nick & Michelle had never been to Tribal Council before, how is that possible? 22 days, wow, that's impressive.
Neal came in as the first member of the jury with a small bandage on his knee - he's fine.
-Debbie lays it out that Brains, Brawn and Beauty are still distinct in this newly merged tribe but Brawn & Beauty have now merged.
-Nick confirms the Brains are on the outs, they're going to be splitting the votes and then moving on from there. He says it like it's a known absolute, no big deal (argh! Every time he talks I'd like to slap him, is that wrong?)
-The girls do a good job of not letting on that they spoke at all.
-The guys are stupidly confident that they know exactly how the vote is going to go tonight.
-And the other thing that happened was that Tai spilled the beans about the Super Idol right there in the middle of Tribal Council. I thought Jason was going to throttle him... and he tried to backpedal, like he thought everyone knew but maybe it was just a story someone told him to get him to vote how they wanted. (I thought he was so stupid, but maybe it was more cunning, he was trying to feel out who knew... or am I giving him too much credit?) Everyone knows now.
Time to Vote:
Jason votes Aubry
Nick votes Debbie
Debbie votes Nick and has the best line to the camera, "Over-confidence is a weakness." (Exactly!)
Tallying the Votes:
No one plays a hidden idol
Votes:
Aubry - 1
Debbie - 1
Nick - 1
Aubry - 2
Jason - 1 (huh? Who voted for Jason?)
Nick - 2 (he's still smiling)
Nick - 3 (the smile slips)
Nick - 4 (and shock sets in, "Oh, man.")
Nick - 5 And it's NICK voted out! (YAY!! I love it when a blindside comes together. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.)
So with Nick leaving, that takes Jennifer G., Scott M., and Andria S. out of the pool - sorry for being so stoked that he was out guys, but it was a good blindside.
Next week: The men seek vengeance - hiding the ax and machete, trying to starve the girls out - and it pulls the ladies apart. Oh little Julia, Aubry says the person in the middle of the road often gets run over, you better watch your back.
Nick's final thoughts: First and last tribal council and it was bittersweet. He didn't see what they were planning, he was over-confident and cocky and he deserved it. He's still going to be arrogant and cocky because he still thinks he's the greatest! (That's not exactly what he said but you get the gist.)
(Oh, and it was Tai that voted for Jason, maybe he was hoping the Super Idol bomb would get them all to vote for Jason, but they don’t all know Jason has an idol.)
Have a great rest of your week,
