Previously on Survivor: Brendan and Sierra find the hidden immunity idol at Timbira and Taj and Stephen find the Jalapoa idol. JT wants to vote out Spencer. Taj goes black girl crazy, but doesn’t get voted out. Spencer gets the boot. 11 are left, who leaves tonight?
Jalapao – Night 15:
JT is not sorry to see Spencer go.
The next morning, Sydney is worried that if they lose again, she’ll go home. Joe pretty much admits that though Taj is the stronger player, if they lose again she will go home over Sydney because Sydney is hot. Dumbass.
And she ain’t even that hot!
And we have credits…
Timbira – Day 16
It looks like a prison camp.
Beans are done cooking and Coach adds dirty river water to it. He says it makes the beans taste better. The rain comes and he doesn’t even tend to his nasty concoction. He gets into the shelter with everyone else. When the rain stops, the beans are ruined. I’d have kicked him in the junk.
Jalapao – Day 16
Their beans are juuuust fine.
Taj wants to tell JT about the idol. Stephen ain’t feeling it. He wants Taj all to himself… and the idol.
Luxury Challenge – Each tribe has five minutes to build a barracade in the other tribe’s frame. Then they have to toss ceramic pigs into their frame and if they break or drop the pigs, it doesn’t count. Most pigs win. They get to eat if they win.
They have ten minutes to toss pigs one at a time. Timbira scores first. they take a lead, but Jalapao starts to catch up. Sydney takes a lot of hard hits when she catches the pigs against her bony frame.
With three minutes left, Jalapao takes the lead. Woohoo! BUT.. Timbira wins. Ugh. I don’t want Coach to win ANYTHING.
Timbira picks Joe to go to Exile Island, and he picks Erin because when they merge, he wants someone to flip. He says his charm game is strong.
Timbira – Day 16
They go to their reward; the perfect all-American picnic.
At Exile Island, Erin and Joe realize the idols are at the camp.
Jalapao – Day 16
Stephen and Taj realize that when Joe gets back he’ll know right away where the idol is, and then figure out that Taj has it. They decide to make a fake idol to put in it’s place. Taj makes an arts and crafts project and hides it in tree mail.
JT and Stephen are going fishing and JT picks up a bag (Taj’s) and finds the idol. He approaches Stephen who is caught off guard and doesn’t display the appropriate amount of shock. He tells Taj that she should tell JT and she does. Now it looks good. It looks like she was honest. JT laps it up.
At the immunity challenge – Each tribe uses a sling shot to break a tile and release sand, which reveals bag and puzzle piece. Gather your pieces and complete the puzzle first.
JT shoots for Jalapao and Tyson for Timbira.
Timbira gets a lead working on their puzzle. Brendan and Erin work on Timbira’s puzzle while Stephen and Joe work on Jalapao’s. Timbira wins. Ugh!
Jalapao Day 18 - Joe finds the fake idol. He tells Sydney they’re voting out Taj. JT and Stephen try to convince Joe to vote out Sydney. JT and Stephen consider backstabbing Taj.
At Tribal Council – It’s so clear it’s between Sydney and Taj. Taj tries to work the angle that she might be able to flip some Timbira folks her way. Sydney says that she will remain loyal because she doesn’t know any Timbira folks Time to vote!
Sydney is voted out 3-2. This makes me happy because she has not been playing the game. She hasn’t made any moves. Why should she stay? Cause she’s cute and she gives Joe a boner? Bump that!
Bye!
