The Dead Can Still Talk Galang Tribe
October 16
So far... ten familial pairs were split into two tribes of all-stars and loved ones. But it's been all loved-ones getting the shaft, from Gervase's niece Marissa on Redemption Island to Candice's hubby John at Tribal Council. Can the Loved Ones over at Tadhana stem the tide, or will the bloodletting continue?

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE GOINGS ON AT THE TADHANA TRIBE

On Redemption Island, Brad is busy licking his wounds after Caleb's power play. And before John and Candice can get to things that are unsuitable for the 8pm hour, Brad comes waving the white flag. And rather than being angry, they're pleased as punch. Live by the sword, die by the sword, I guess.

"Your real alliance is your spouse," he says.

... AGAIN, BRAD CULPEPPER... In the game of Survivor... IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED, LIVE BY THE SWORD, DIE BY THE SWORD. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS, THEN FRANKLY, YOU SUCK AT THE GAME AND YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO PLAY IT.

NIGHT 10: "We can see!"

Fire in the night means that you can see a lot of things that you wouldn't normally see in the daytime, like... people sleeping... and Laura getting her hands around Aras. Literally. She hopes that he thinks the same way. And of course, because he won, he's hip to the whole flirt-for-keeps thing. His core is him, Monica, Tina, Tyson, and Gervase. Laura M. knows that she's on the outs, so she's trying to play up some likeability.

Meanwhile, Laura Boneham is still trying to get to know everyone, a clique of Survivor vets to the ONE relative newbie.

DAY 11: REDEMPTION DUEL: Breaking Bad

Before we get into it, Monica offers to take Brad's spot. Brad rebuffs the offer, saying that he's not here because he's a jerk. Funny, that's exactly why you were voted out, so... why ARE you here then?

In this duel, take apart a crate to build a bridge. Then take apart the bridge to solve a puzzle. First two wins.

John is the first to finish his bridge. Brad is close behind. And Candice is close behind that. The men have all of their pieces. Now it's a race to put 12 puzzle pieces in the grid. Eight of them will fit. Four will not.

WINNER: JOHN! And in second... close behind... by a HAIR... BRAD! So the doctor will not regenerate as Candice Cody is leaving her husband to fend for himself.

Meanwhile, John decides to give his clue to Immunity to Monica. And, as before, Brad tells his woman exactly what she can do with it. You have to wonder what Mark Burnett thinks of all of this burning of clues

Back at camp, Tina would be surprised if Brad DIDN'T come back into the game. Monica's hoping beyond hope that he makes it to the merge, so she can dump that tight coalition of five she calls an alliance, and make it to the end with Brad. Tina suspects without Brad in the competitive mix, Monica is stepping her game up. She thinks that she's either a big threat or a big asset, but which one remains to be seen.

DAY 12: IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: Slide for Life

A friend of the site, an alumnus of "The Amazing Race", and even more important than that a classmate from UNC and friend of mine, Justin Young, put it THIS way...

"Wait, that was an #immunitychallenge?!? Basically waterslide with modified horseshoes/ring toss? No puzzle? No swimming? #tooeasy #Survivor"

Ahem... first team to 5 ringers wins Immunity. And of course, you also have a reward to play for. Fishing gear... Tadhana.... or a barbecue meal! 

Sitting out for Galang: Monica and the Lauras. Sounds like a band.

Round 1: Gervase vs. Caleb. WINNER... Caleb (Tadhana lead, 1-0)
Round 2: Tyson vs. Hayden. WINNER... Tyson (Tied at 1)
Round 3: Kat vs. Katie. WINNER... Katie (Tadhana lead, 2-1)
Round 4: Aras vs. Vytas. WINNER of the GRUDGE MATCH... Vytas (Tadhana lead, 3-1)
Round 5: Tina vs. Ciera. WINNER... Tina (Tadhana lead, 3-2)

Round 6: Tyson vs. Caleb. WINNER... Caleb (Tadhana lead, 4-2)
GAME POINT: Gervase vs. Hayden... WINNER... HAYDEN!

WINNER: TADHANA! Which means for the first time since Night Zero, the Galangs are going to Tribal Council.

And rather than fish, Tadhanas want steak.

Now that Tribal looms, it's time to think about who is going home. Laura B is thinking... it could be her. Because the first tribe ousted her first on Day 1. She just wants to be very aware right now... and mix a few thinks up... starting with Kat. "She's at the bottom... so she's going to say what she wants to say."

Kat feels like she's in the Alliance of 5, but the other Lauras don't feel they're inside. And if anyone should be scared, it's Laura B... because she annoys the hell out of everyone. It should be an easy pick-off, right? Should be 7-1, right? Done deal, right?

"Just because it's easy doesn't mean you should do it." THANKS, ARAS!

If Brad loses at Redemption, then Monica is OURS to do with what she will. So who would be the best person to try and off Culpepper? This question and tons more as we arrive to our first...

NIGHT 12: TRIBAL COUNCIL

Take your torch and receive your flame. Fire represents life.

Gervase says how crazy it is to be at Tribal Council after 13 years. Tina... same deal. She remembers thinking playing more in day 5 of season 2 than in the entire season. "It's not just you." Monica says that blood-vs.-water makes the stakes higher. Who has the most power in the merge and who still has a loved one? Aras hints that someone in the alliance may flip to their loved one. Laura M. says that "there's a time when you have to cut the apron strings." Gervase says that Laura M and Ciera are close, but it's also threatening; same can be said for anyone. Laura B says.. she feels part of the tribe and part of the play. She says she belongs here. Monica agrees, having seen what she does. "That's what they always say before you vote them out. Greatest tribesmember ever." The other thing... She hasn't felt the sting of having her torch snuffed.

Will she tonight?

Laura M: LAURA B - "It's been really great playing with you, but there's only room for one Laura on this island."
Laura B: LAURA M - "I'm really sorry that someone has to go home, but I'm really happy that there'll be one Laura on the island."

The others... are for... Laura.... MORETT. By a vote of 7-1,... LAURA MORETT.... THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN. They're putting you up against Brad Culpepper. You know what you have to do.
