Kellie’s ouster last week was the
first shot in the Reba / Belo war. Who
will be the 2
nd? Let’s have a
look!
Back at merge camp, Crazy Eyes
Kendra pours one out for her first Survivor friend, Kellie while Jake laughs aloud at still
being on the island. He didn’t know Kellie was the vote and it cost him his shot
in the dark. Since Dr. Doom is still around, Napolean Dynamite, Julie and Dee
tell him they knew Kellie was going and were protecting him. They also tell him
she was going to turn on him and thought he was overbearing. He may be Doom but
they’re playing him like he’s the Joker – inducing a little chaos. Inducing For his part, Doom still can’t get over
the idea that Kellie thought he was overbearing. His eyes clear for a moment of
self-reflection. Could this change
him? Can this change doom?
While Kendra and Katurah console each
other over Kellie, Crazy Eyes breaks
rule #4 and tells Katurah she’s targeting Dee. Clearly, she’s forgotten
that Katurah flipped to Reba in the Kaleb vote.
Word quickly gets back to Dee which is bad for Kendra. Dee has rabidly gone
after anyone who’s said her name, forcing Reba to do her bidding more than
once. Henceforth, she shall be named Queen
Dee, The Tenacious!
Reba is strong together, and with
Kellie’s ouster Austin now has two full idols.
You’ve probably heard the phrase “What if they threw a war and only one
side came?”. We’re about to see what
happens.
Meanwhile, Emily approaches her
shaky allies Napoleon and Austin about going after Tenacious Dee but she’s also
rebuffed as the pair would rather try to flush Doom’s idol. Their hesitance makes her rethink her
alliance and makes me ask “WHEN DID SHE GET GOOD AT THIS GAME???”. The only difference between Kendra telling Katurah
and Emily telling these two is that Dee doesn’t immediately hear about Emily’s
wishes…but how long can that last?
For the upcoming challenge, they’ll
need to divide themselves into three groups of three. The challenge has three
stages. Losers of stage one will lose
their vote and go on a journey to try and earn it back. Winners of Stage 3 all
earn reward with the overall winner taking home immunity.
Groups are:
Red: Your cousin from Boston, Queen
Dee, Napoleon Dynamite
Blue: Julie, Dr. Doom, Crazy Eyes Kendra
Yellow: Emily, Katurah, Austin
Red and Yellow quickly dispatch of
the first stage, leaving Emily, Katurah and Austin without votes. In the 2nd stage, they have to
land balls on hoops. It’s a tight race that
ends with Kendra landing the final ball for Blue (Points for “Win tribal
reward” to Jay, Jen, and Ricky!). In
the final comp, they have to extend their arms and hold discs against a plate
with their fingertips and like last week, it quickly becomes a showdown between
Julie and Doom. Julie can’t outlast the everflowing will of Doom
and finally falls, allowing Doom another day of safety. (Points for “Win
individual immunity” to Jayson!).
Back at camp, Napoleon Dynamite
thinks Doom winning sucks and “they” might need to play “their” idols on Dee
and Austin. Weird how he feels ownership
of Austin’s idols. Your Cousin From Boston is happy to go after Crazy Eyes if
it’ll get him in with Dee but she’s just using him.
At the sanctuary, Crazy Eyes
Kendra the vegetarian tears into the rotisserie chicken with her bare hands. Hunger > moral objection, I suppose.
Kendra asks Julie how she feels with Reba – a loaded question given Kendra’s
earlier Katurah mishap. Julie smoothly
lies, saying she’s on the bottom. She replies asking how they feel about their
cousin from Boston. Now, Julie is Reba
and Reba is held together with cement.
Jake is Belo, who just lost Kellie.
You’d think Doom and Crazy Eyes would realize Jake’s a solid number for
them but you’d be wrong. They flip on him in a heartbeat with Doom saying “Tribal
lines are gone” and they surely are…for him. Julie can’t believe how quickly or easily they
flipped, but flip they did.
At the journey, Emily, Katurah and
Austin have to invent a math equation using addition and subtraction that makes
987654321 = 100 in 3 minutes. Emily being
a financial analyst should crush this right?
Nope. She can’t do mental math.
Neither can Katurah. Austin can,
however. He solves it in time to win his
vote back (losing / regaining votes are non-scoring categories this year. I’ll
add them next year).
Back at camp, Austin lies to the
group about not having his vote only to come clean to his Reba tribemates later. They’re going to run the table from here on
out. The only question is the order in
which everyone else is voted out. Tenacious
Dee and Austin want Kendra. Julie is
still salty about your cousin from Boston writing her name down and wants him
out but the Queen will have her way “we will tell them all it’s Jake and then
vote Kendra”. Royalty has spoken and
Julie doesn’t like it.
Kendra and Doom are nervous about
Jake being too easy a vote with Kendra thinking she’s the true target. They bring
in Emily who agrees on Jake as the vote.
When she goes back to her ersatz alliance with Napoleon Dynamite, she
says Jake is the vote and he says Crazy Eyes is the vote which Emily can’t
understand. Why would we vote her out? She’s a number for us (Points for “Reference
‘in this game’ to Brian!). She sells
him on Jake but sees Queen Dee running ND and Austin as problematic. ND tries to pitch the Queen on switching to
Jake but she’s not buying. Kendra said
her name. She’s not budging away from that. Whoever says her name is her
target. (Points for “Reference in this game” to Roberta!)
Emily better improve her personal
relations computations quickly or she’ll be next on the Queen’s chopping block.
At tribal, Kendra weeps for her
first Survivor friend (Points for “Reference in this game” to Ricky!) as
The Queen notes how everyone always wants to make big moves and blindsides but
forgets there are real people behind those moves. Doom notes how winning back-to-back immunity
challenges is great but it paints a big target on you (Points for “Reference
in this game” to Jay!) which causes Katurah’s eyes to roll so hard they almost
pop out of her head. Jeff notes that not
knowing how many votes will be cast changes the math which completely shocks
Kendra. She didn’t realize that people
might lie about losing or regaining votes.
At the vote, Kendra' votes for Jake
but Dee forces everyone else to vote for Kendra. She’s
voted out 6-1 becoming the third member of the jury and ending Ricky’s game. That's what you get for breaking the rules! The Queen got her way. Again.
Roberta maintains a slim lead while Jay takes a big jump into
2nd thanks to Dr. Doom’s repeated immunity wins and Kendra’s
elimination means Ricky finishes at 22 points. Farewell, friend! See that and more in the current scores:
Current scores:
- Roberta: 32
- Jayson: 27
- Jen: 26
- Carol: 24
- Kristyn: 23
- Ricky: 22
- Marissa: 20
- Dalphyne: 19
- Scott: 14
- Brian: 13
