With Me or Not With Me
Last week Tai tried to dictate the vote and felt totally betrayed when no one listened to him and even left him out of the decision to still vote out Jason.
Dara - Night 32
-They get back to camp and Tai is kind of shell shocked that he was in the dark about the vote and they made him waste his advantage by throwing a second vote at Michele.
-He tries to talk to everyone but when Michele challenges all his honesty and loyalty talk because it doesn't include her, he has no response other than to say he doesn't think she belongs (What? Tai's social game could use some work.)
-Tai quickly focuses his hurt and feelings of betrayal on Aubry, he doesn't see that he was treating all of them like Scot treated him and Aubry is something of a Tai whisperer, she calmly tells him people felt he was not listening to them and then she apologized for not giving him the heads up. I don't know that he was appeased though.
REWARD CHALLENGE
They had to run into the jungle to a large wooden ladder and retrieve three bags of sandbags (one at a time) - once they had a bag back at the playing area they had to throw the sandbags at their targets in the sand, first person to get one sandbag in each of their five targets would win the Reward - being taken to a spa and having food.
-Everyone races out, with Joe bringing up the rear, and it was neck and neck with most of them, except Joe who was way behind the whole time... until everyone ran out of sandbags to throw except Joe and they couldn't re-set until absolutely everyone was out of sandbags... so Joe was able to take his time with his last throws and JOE won the Reward! Gettin' 'er done at 71!
-So, Joe wins the Reward and is told he can bring someone along, no brainer, he chooses Aubry and then Jeff tells him he can pick someone else and Aubry tells him to pick Cydney, Joe says he's going to let Aubry pick (come one dude, make one decision on your own) but Aubry pipes up and picks Cydney - further alienating Tai, but also, not too worried because Tai & Michele are not the best of friends after the last tribal.
REWARD:
Joe just makes a big old pig of himself. He couldn't help it, he was really fading with no food and they gave them skewers of meat... Joe went to town. And it cost him - big time.
-Aubry has the epiphany while she's there and Joe's telling her that she's [Aubry's] the biggest threat out there, that Cydney may be a bigger threat to her than Tai because she has been quieter but still made big decisions (uh, I don't know.) Aubry doesn't want Cydney in her final three anymore.
Back at camp:
While everyone else is off getting their feed on, Tai & Michele make some kind of peace. They air out their grievances and then Tai gives her a massage... they do talk about trying to work together, Tai still has his idol, maybe they could try to sway Cydney...? Aubry would never see that coming.
Dara - Day 34
The reward trio returns to camp and Tai welcomes them back with open arms.
-Aubry has solidified in her mind that she is better off going to the final with Joe and Tai, now she has to make sure that Tai, who is so emotionally needy, doesn't feel slighted by her or he may just go the totally opposite way.
-Aubry puts on her Tai-whisperer hat and when they go for water she breaks him down - she assures him that he and Joe are her absolute choice for the final three and when she tells him that you have to put a lot aside when you play this game... he starts bawling - Tai had just been saying how the mental and emotional aspect of this game is the hardest thing he's every done. They hug it out and she tells him to take time for himself, not do so much around camp, take care of himself and Tai feels valued and cared for (Man, she is good!)
Cydney sees Aubry & Tai coming back with the water and they look too comfortable together for her liking - it was very suspect. So she's talking to Michele about how they have to be thinking two steps ahead and basically they are on the same page to take out Joe or Aubry.
But then Joe's reward feast starts to cause some problems. He's plugged up with the mounds of beef he ate and the bloating and his typically enlarged prostate (as a 71-yr-old) has stopped him from being able to urinate - so he's in some discomfort. As the day goes on, it's getting worse so he asks for medical to check him out - they give him some medication, see if it will sort itself out but by that night Joe's in agony and rather than risk permanent kidney damage, he is pulled from the game.
It is a testament to him that all of them are crying their eyes out, going to miss grandpa Joe.
No immunity challenge, no tribal council, just a teary send off for an elder statesman. Also, Aubry has lost her closest ally again and her grand plan is ruined... Who knows what will happen now??
With Joe leaving, that takes Shelley A., Elliot L., and Alexis G. out of the pool. So close, and yet, we all know he wasn't going to win right?
Joe's final thoughts were that he has proved to himself that he could face this challenge, it was a success for him especially at his age and he's ready for the next challenge.
So, next Wednesday, May 18th is the Finale and here's who is in the running to win the whole enchilada:
Aubry: Sandie G., Manny W., and Gillian H.
Cydney: Kim B., Maggie H., and Drew C.
Michele: Brandon L., Katie L., and Susan N.
Tai: Jeff T., Lucy C., and Sharon R.
Good luck everybody!
Have a great rest of your week,
