A
Sinking Ship
May 6
Candice has flipped to vote
with the Villains.
Sandra has flipped back to vote with the Villains.
Rupert believes the only heroes left in the game are himself and Colby
Parvati thinks Russell wasted an immunity idol.
And Russell thinks it's time to raise some hell.
That's because on this week's Survivor there are going to be 2 immunity
challenges and 2 Tribal Councils.
But no, this episode is not sponsored by Doublemint gum.
Rupert has another belief that hasn't been shared yet. He thinks Russell
is worse than Jonny Fairplay. He then goes after Russell in public (as
public as camp can be). He calls Russell out for swearing on his kids
and says that Russell only cares about himself.
Russell seems tickled by this and remind Rupert that he is a villain and
could care less.
Well, DUUUUUUUHHH!
Feeble attempts to assassinate Russell's non-existent character behind
us, we move to reward.
Or should we say immunity as there will be no reward this week.
Each Survivor will stand atop a small wooden perch and have one arm
overhead tethered to a bucket. All they have to do is keep the arm up to
keep the bucket from dumping its liquid contents on top of them.
But there will be temptations...
Parvati has won this before lasting over 6 hours and Rupert has lasted
multiple hours himself.
As the challenge begins, Probst brings out a tray.
Both Sandra and Russell say they want it. Without even knowing its
contents they step down and receive cookies and milk.
So, one minute in we are down two survivors. Probst brings out another
tray revealing donuts and iced coffee. Colby steps down for it. We
continue.
all the girls are chattering about the fact that someone needs to beat
Rupert. They decide Parvati can do it alone just in time for Tray number
3: Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches.
Candace, Danielle and Jerri all come off leaving Parvati and Rupert.
I wish I could say there was another tray, but no. At the 1 hr, 10 min
mark, Rupert slips and Parvati wins immunity.
Now Jeff warned there would be a twist at the end of the challenge: The
clue to the next hidden immunity idol.
Two paths meet, a burning bush, a shadow cast, under a rock... AND GO!
As soon as the survivors arrive back at camp, the race is on. To the
victor go the spoils and the victor is... Sandra! She manages to find it
without anyone noticing, so she chooses to keep things a secret.
Rupert who was unsuccessful in finding the Idol has other ideas. He
places a large rock in his pocket and chooses to act like he found the
Idol.
His plan works when Russell spots the bulge in his pocket at camp.
However, Russell is not worried, he rounds the troops and makes it clear
that they need to split the votes, 3 & 3. To make sure either Rupert or
Colby goes. The girls however, feel this might be a great time to get
rid of Candace as they do not trust her and think she is a bigger threat
than Colby.
If only this planning had been done without Rupert and Colby overhearing
it....
At Tribal, Rupert and Colby share some mean words with Candace calling
her out as a traitor. She takes the words in stride and tries to stay
focused on the game. So, let's hit the first of our two votes this
evening.
Jeff tallies the votes... and by a vote of 5-3, Candice, the tribe has
spoken!
Ouch, for Candice who calls her ouster karma coming back to bite her,
but kudos to Rupert and Colby for sniffing out the plan and buying
themselves more time in the game.
As the Survivors return to camp in the darkness, the villains are not
happy with the result. Russell feel like he and Parvati are in equal
control of this game now and that he has to fix that. Further, the
villains seem to be in agreement that they do not think Rupert has the
Idol as they can't imagine that he would not have played it. With their
Scooby-sense firing on all cylinders, it is time for another immunity
challenge!
It's a 3-parter, so we'll do it the same way.
Part 1: race across the floor dig up a peg, run it through a grid maze
and bust a tile. The first 5 will move on. This part of the challenge
eliminates the Australian Outback. Colby and Jerri are out.
Part 2: The remaining 5 now have to clip up a ramp using 4 insertable
puzzle pegs as hand and footholds. First 3 up move on to part 3. Sandra
slips up along with Danielle leaving Russell, Parvati and Rupert to duke
it out for immunity.
Part 3: A slide puzzle of the Survivor logo. First to finish wins
immunity. Parvati quickly falls behind pace leaving the two boys to face
off and when all is said and done, Russell wins immunity!
And boy does he know how to use it. Upon arriving back at camp, all the
girls who think this is going to be a easy day on the beach are in for a
shock. Russell has decided to use this win as a chance to retaqke
control of the game. His plan? Pit Parvati and Danielle against each
other.
He pulls Danielle aside and lets her know that he doesn't think either
of them can beat Parvati in the finals if she makes it to the end.
Danielle doesn't disagree but states clearly that now is not the time to
flip a vote against a villain. She believes Rupert is the only choice.
With that "Russell seed" planted, Russell goes to talk to Parvati to let
her know that Danielle told him that they need to get rid of Parvati!
The audacity of this man. Parvati finds it hilarious and says that she
needs to talk to Danielle to straighten this out. Russell not wanting
the girls to talk for fear of being found out warns Parvati that she'll
be everything short of stupid if she discusses this with Danielle.
She does anyway. This makes sense considering the amount of loyalty
between the 2 girls. Danielle half loses it realizing that Russell
bringing her name up as a saboteur virtually puts her name on the
chopping block. Parvati also recognizes the potential game plan and both
girls know that all they need to do is solidify Jerri's vote to ensure 4
votes against Rupert.
While the girls try to lock Jerri, Russell locks Colby and Rupert.
Ironically, Rupert is more than happy now to work with Russell. What
happened to your honor, Rupe?
Well tribal should be fun once again. At Tribal, Jeff pries into things
he should stay out of and we learn that our favorite threesome of
Russell, Danielle and Parvati view things very differently. Russell
states that his allegiance belongs solely to Parvati, but Parvati and
Danielle make it clear that their alliance is to each other. at the very
moment that Danielle begins crying over her loyalty to Parvati being
viewed as a detriment to loyalty with the Villains as a group, Russell
whispers to Jerri that Danielle needs to be the vote. Seems like we have
a manipulation face-off. Who will win?
Jeff leaves to tally the votes.
Jerri mentioned when casting her hidden vote that this vote would "seal
her fate" in this game.
And by a vote 4-3, Danielle, the tribe has spoken!
So, Danielle joins the jury and everyone else will need to pick their
jaw up off the floor as they have made the final 6. We presumably only
have 3 vote-outs remaining before our final Tribal, so keep watching,
keep reading, and we'll see you next time.
