Fifteen years ago, 16
ordinary Americans were taken to the South Pacific,
dropped off on a deserted island, and abandoned for 39
days to compete in a new kind of game show, one where
the objective was to outwit, outplay, and outlast the
others for $1 million and the title of Sole Survivor. Twenty-nine seasons later, the tradition continues. This time, though, 18 castaways will be marooned as tribes of six: one representing White Collar America - those who make the rules - Blue Collar America - those who follow the rules - and No Collar America - those who play by their own rules. Who has what it takes to outlast the other 17? The adventure is about to begin again from San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua in ... SURVIVOR: WORLDS APART! Our tribesmen for this 30th season are...
DAY 1: The Marooning Jeff welcomes the group to the show and gets our tribes ready for the next five weeks. Joaquin says that he doesn't let his 9-to-5 decide who he is. Our first task will require someone from each tribe to be the tribe leader, a move that Max says is one of the first mistakes anyone can make on this show. Joaquin, Dan, and Will. They will have to make a second decision - someone to join them in making a crucial choice. They choose So, Mike, and Jenn. They get their maps to their new homes and head out. At their camps, Nina reveals that she's completely deaf. Those hearing aids in her ears are cochlear implants. The pairs decided upon earlier open up their messages and find...
Jenn & Will pick Honest. Mike & Dan take likewise. Sierra thinks that the bag should be three times that size. She's never watched this show, has she? Joaquin & So pick... DECEIVE... and early on, Joaquin has the choice pegged - are you here to win or are you here to make friends. So here's the clue that Joaquin & So just picked up.
Which meant that So has to trust Joaquin. A move that will be heretofore known as "Mistake #1." The story: honest, deceive... or neutral. Weak story, So. Weak story. A move that will be heretofore known as "Mistake #2." Shirin is looking to align with other people early. Max and Carolyn... seem as good as anybody. That's three in a tribe of six. That can cause some damage. Over at Escameca Beach, it's all about food, fire, and shelter. EASY. Lindsey and Rodney bond over love of family and love of tattoos. His strategy: get the girls. Meanwhile, Mike just ate a scorpion. Tastes like ass, but hey, protein. And he just threw up. Back comes the protein. We haven't checked up on the No-Collars, have we? And for good reason. No drama. Vince and Jenn have an instant connection. Will his intense attraction to women lead to an alliance? Or something more? Or something else? At camp, Joe displays his ingenuity with construction... to Vince's dismay. DAY 2: "Let's make some decisions." Everyone seems to think that Dan is the odd-man-out. The ladies think that his age and male-ness seem to put him at odds. He's in what you call a no-win situation. The rest of the tribe wants to get his old fat speedo-wearing ass out of here as soon as possible (C-Note: GSNN... we watch this stuff so you don't have to). Joe says he can make fire on the Nagarote camp without fire... and he backs it up. Could be trouble for Vince. He talks to Jenn, who says she's not flirting with Joe. She thinks Vince is jealous. She still wants to take Mr. Creepy America to the finals with her. Vince feels like she's being fake. At Masaya Beach, we finally have a roof over our heads. Albeit, average. Next up, fire. Whereas the Blue-Collars and No-Collars had no problem, the White Collars.... can't hire a blue collar to do their work for a change. Meanwhile, Carolyn's watching So like a hawk to get a clue as to where the Hidden Idol is. Carolyn sees a funny looking tree not too far from the watering hole and... PAYDIRT.
And as always, it will continue to be in play until the round of five. DAY 3... IMMUNITY CHALLENGE #1: Decisions Decisions Race down a platform through a pile of hay and high step through an obstacle. Then unlock a ladder by either unlocking three locks from a ring of 20 keys or untying a series of knots. Use the ladder to go up, over, and down a platform to another series of puzzles - a relatively easy 50-piece puzzle, a harder 10-piece puzzle, or an extremely difficult five-piece puzzle. First two to complete their puzzle wins Immunity. In addition, the winner of the challenge will receive a fire-making kit. Second place gets flint. The Idol looks like it was put together the day before by the producers' 10-year-olds. WINNER: NAGAROTE Pre-Tribal, the Masaya are licking their wounds. Carolyn is convinced that a girl is going to go home tonight. So thinks Shirin was weak, while Carolyn is not volunteering an inch. It's hard to get three guys to vote for Carolyn, but So is going to try for it. Joaquin thinks that he will not vote for Carolyn, who doesn't trust So so long as she can throw her. Tyler tell Carolyn that So is working everyone on her. Carolyn says that she has the Idol, and that she's bringing it to Tribal. She needs to get So out. Shirin, Carolyn & Max are pledging to vote for So, who has put herself into a difficult decision about the choice she & Joaquin made earlier. Nobody can say a bad thing about Carolyn. Tyler said that this was about physical strength, then Carolyn's in danger. But "I absolutely believe someone is going to be shocked." NIGHT 3: TRIBAL COUNCIL In the game of Survivor, fire represents life. When your fire is out, so are you. Joaquin goes with the story that he & So agreed to earlier re: the initial decision. Shirin, being the fan of the show she is, knows that there are big holes in that story. So does Max. So says that it's heartbreaking for it to come out this way... "The four of us are really strong." Which four? Tyler, Max, Joaquin, and So. Carolyn says that Max & Shirin have been together since day 1. That leads into an argument between Carolyn and So. Tyler thought it was So who kept them in the game earlier. Tyler says that they make the wrong call tonight, they're going to be back at Tribal next time. Max was hoping for a "wicked downpour and lots of drama". The votes... Carolyn: SO - "I haven't
trusted you from the beginning. You've lied to me from
day 1. I hope it's you and not me tonight." The other votes... Joaquin: CAROLYN By a vote of 4 to 2, SO... THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN. To see this episode in its entirety, go to cbs.com/survivor. |
