An Apple in
the Garden of Eden
November 6
Dan is Gone. Susie is still here and
Randy is pissed. He wanted Dan to be here, but he has no choice but to
continue playing the game.
Susie’s game play is what’s keeping her here and Corinne is addressing
it saying that Susie sold her under the bus at tribal. In an aside
conversation Susie makes it clear that she does not care and that her
goal is to assure that she has the power. Good for her. After all there
is only one sole survivor.
At Fang, Ace is outta here and Sugar is relishing her power. Of course
she doesn’t have that much power as now she seems to be in Ken’s pocket.
Crystal on the other hand is in no one’s pocket and passes an olive
branch to Matty saying that she won’t hold his vote for her against him.
Yeah, we’ve all heard that one before.
The only word that is common on all the Survivor’s lips is merge. Will
it happen?
Kota gets their tree mail and is shocked to see that it is a spoon. Tree
mail directs them to the beach, mentions a feast and tells them to only
bring personal possessions for a new home and a new game.
As the survivors arrive they see an endless feast. And a box. The box
says do not open until the feast is over.
But more interestingly there is a note under a bowl. Halfway through the
meal, Ken notices it and tries to read it by himself, but then Charlie
sees it as well. With cover blown, the info is shared and they group
decides to dig up the idol that is hidden in the sand under a low
hanging tree branch.
To fast forward a little... The group of ten decides to set the immunity
idol adrift. Kind of makes sense because anyone who took it would be a
huge target. With the idol gone, the box on the table is opened and here
comes heck.
Note one directs the survivors to draw stones out of a bag. They do so
cautiously.
Note two tells them that these stones have separated them into two new
tribes.
That’s right. There is no merge.
The new Kota and Fang
Fang:
Randy, Matty, Sugar, Charlie, Corinne
Kota
Bob, Crystal, Marcus, Susie, Ken
The Kota six are relieved to see that they have majority on both sides.
Then come a few revelations.
Marcus finds out that one of his good friends is Crystal’s cousin.
Sugar realizes that she was duped into ousting Ace
…and Susie realizes that she has an effectual swing vote should the new
Kota lose.
Trouble is a brewing in Gabon and Earth’s last Eden is about to be
shaken up.
The new Fang is coming together… and splitting apart. Charlie, Corinne
and Randy are united in their front that should they lose they will
eliminate Matty. Matty is aware of this and plans on doing anything to
win. After all, if they don’t win he might be the first member of the
jury.
Challenge Time!
Each Survivor will hold posts up on the back sides of their hands
against a board above their head. If they lower their hands the posts
will fall eliminating them from the challenge. The last tribe with a
member still standing will win immunity.
Crystal is out immediately, and is followed by Sugar and Susie.
Then Randy and Corinne drop out simultaneously.
Ken quivers next and he is gone.
Then Marcus drops leaving Bob as the only member remaining for Kota.
And then Charlie loses it making it a face off between Bob and Matty.
Matty’s post is more than half off the board and Bob is looking pretty
solid. Matty is cackling like a banshee, but he shuts up as the pain
increases. Somehow, Matty digs deep and when Bob begins to shudder, it’s
game over for Kota.
Fang wins immunity (all thanks to Matty).
And boy are things going to be interesting over at Kota.
Marcus and Crystal step aside and in their chatter we learn that Marcus
wants to keep Crystal around but think that Ken should go first followed
by Susie. Crystal isn’t taking this to well, considering that Ken is one
of her greatest allies in the game.
This leads to Crystal pulling Ken aside. Ken seems confident that he is
safe but Crystal gives him a big wake up call. Both realize that Susie
flipping is their only hope.
So….
While Ken is wandering about by the campfire, Crystal is in the hut
chatting up Susie. Susie realizes her position, but tells Crystal that
1. She is known for being trustworthy and 2. That Marcus has promised to
bring her to the final 3. Crystal nearly explodes in disbelief reminding
Susie that Randy hates her and Corinne hates her and as a result, Marcus
can’t possibly make a promise like that.
With all of this talk, Susie’s head is spinning. Seems like a perfect
time to go to…
Tribal Council!
Nothing shocking here folks. It’s a rehash of everything that was
discussed at camp. The member of the Kota 6 seem confident, Ken, being
on the chopping block, gushes about why he should still be here and how
Marcus is a big bully (he eventually votes for (Marc-Ace). But most
importantly, Susie says that she is comfortable with the decision she
made of who to vote for.
As the votes come in, it’s two for Ken and two for Marcus, the only vote
we do not know is Susie’s …
As crystal said earlier with Marcus, the game is to Outwit and Outlast
and you don’t outwit Crystal Cox.
Well, apparently it’s true!? Susie votes for Marcus! The Tribe Has
Spoken!
Yet another Blindside in Earth’s last Eden. The plot will surely
continue to thicken. Stay tuned. |
