Week 3: “Mama Said There’d Be Days Like This”


Previously on Survivor: Jalapao bonds, Timbira splinters. Brendan and Taj decide to work together to figure out clues to the immunity idol. Sierra was on the chopping block until Candace opened her big mouth. Candace was sent packing. 14 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

Timbira, Night 6:

Erinn was thrown for a loop when Candace was voted out and tries to distance herself from Candace… no one is buying it. She may be next.

And we have credits…

Timbira, Day 7:

Everyone is cold and miserable. Erinn realizes she has to shine in the next challenge or else she might go home. Jerry ain’t feeling the beans. He won’t eat them for breakfast and he didn’t eat them for dinner the night before. He says he has an upset stomach. He says he’s pretending to be okay with the situation even though he’s miserable.

Jerry had the bubble guts.

Jerry had the bubble guts.

Jalapao:

They struggle to catch fish with their new equipment, but eventually figure it out. JT shines catching major fish for the tribe.

Please don't vote him off. He's useful and CUTE!

Please don't vote him off. He's useful and CUTE!

Luxury Challenge: Six members of each tribe are blindfolded and tied together, the remaining tribe member directs them to water and buckets so they can fill a bin to raise a flag. And then they need to get corn and raise another flag? They’re playing for patio furniture and a tarp.

Jon directs Jalapao and Debbie directs Timbira.

Timbira is a hot ass mess. Jalapao has dumped three buckets before they dump one. Jalapao kicks butt and raises both flags.

Coach is pissed. Boohoo.

Jalapao chooses Brendan to go back to Exile Island and he chooses Taj. Big mouth Jeff asks if that concerns the tribes. Well, if it didn’t, it might now!

Back at Timbira, Coach is all whiny and upset ’cause they lost so badly. Debbie feels like she let everyone down. She did. But they all equally suck. Coach says they shouldn’t go off and shit talk each other… and then he does exactly that. Tyson trips over himself to kiss Coach’s ass. Coach calls Tyson his assistant coach and Tyson is all atwitter. He thinks Coach has a schoolboy crush on him. Um, I think it’s the other way around.

"I can't kiss Coach's ass fast enough!"

"I can't kiss Coach's ass fast enough!"

At Jalapao: They celebrate their win and bask in their own awesomeness.

“We are so awesome!”

“I know, right?!”

Timbira Day 7:

They are getting all wet and miserable.

Exile Island, Day 7:

Taj picks the urn with the next clue this time. It’s surrounded by wood at their camps.

Taj and Brendan discuss each bringing in another person in case they’re not sent back for the clues next time. Taj picks Stephen and Brendan picks Sierra. They discuss a four-person alliance should they make the merge.

Jalapao, Day 8:

The tribe sleeps well with their new blankets and tarp covering their shelter. They’re hoping Timbira is miserable going into the immunity challenge.

Immunity Challenge:

Two members of each tribe race to roll a crate to their mat. Once all six crates are there they have to spell out their tribe’s name. Blah…

It’s pretty much neck-in-neck for much of the race for the crates, until Timbira gets a big lead.  Once they start working on the staircase that spells their name, Erinn takes charge and they’re pulling ahead. Then they start fussing and fall behind. Jalapao wins!!!

Jerry says he’s through. He’s finished. He knows he may be voted out.

Timbira, Day 9:

Jerry is drained. He doesn’t even bother hiding it. Has he seen this show? He says that they’re gonna have to vote him out, he’s not giving up.

Coach is annoyed that everyone seems to be ready to get rid of Jerry and ignoring Erinn. He says that she got an evil look on her face when she realized she was safe. He starts pushing for her to go.

Privately, Tyson tells Jerry to try and look strong. And tells him no one has mentioned his name to go home.

Brendan starts snooping around the tree mail area and finds the hidden idol. He hides it elsewhere.

Erinn: You don’t want to be like, “Hey, everybody, Jerry’s sick!” But you kinda wanna be like, “Hey, everybody, Jerry’s sick!!”

"Hey, everybody! Did I mention that Jerry's sick?!"

"Hey, everybody! Did I mention that Jerry's sick?!"

Tyson says he wants Erinn blindsided ’cause he likes seeing people cry when you crush their dreams. I can’t wait for him to go.

At Tribal Council:

When asked, “Who should be the leader?,” Jerry says, “Brendan.”
Coach takes offense and thinks he should be the leader. He says he led the competition with his eyes.

"I lead with my psychic-douchebag powers."

"I lead with my psychic-douchebag powers."

Erinn smirks.

Everyone votes.

Jerry – 4

Erinn – 1

Tyson doesn’t look happy.

Poor Jerry.

I think other than her big "fyi my husband it big football superstar" mishap, taj is playing a pretty good game. She seems to be the only one thinking ahead. The two coach guys are the ones bringing their team down, wanting to vote people out for all the wrong reasons. I already like the taj/brendan/sierra/etc merge alliance. They are all the people I actually like.

I agree. I'm rooting for Taj/Brendan/Steven... not sold on Sierra yet, but I think she'd be loyal to Brendan.

Jerry screwed up..he should have hid he was sick more OR right before tribal..say "I feel perfect now!" Then they would have voted Erin off..her grin is annoying.

I can't stand Soccer Douche. I just know he coaches handicap 3 year olds the shape hes in.

When he said he led the team during the competition with his "eyes," I damn near fell off the bed.

And yeah, Jerry must not have watched the show before. You gotta suck it up better than that if you want to stay.

OK--I'm not watching this season, but just decided to drop by! Hello there!

Same here! I'm not watching this OR the Amazing Race. If I read Nina's blogs, I don't have to sit through the actual shows. And my evenings are free for BSG :)

If Coach wins this show I'm going to be upset. Ugh he's awful!! Just wanted to remind you that you can chat with Jerry today on Fancast at 3:30pm EST. Every Friday, Fancast hosts a live chat with the latest booted contestant. Check it out- http://www.fancast.com/blogs/live-chat/live-chat-w...
