Jenn's Survivor Recap

I can't believe I almost forgot to do my Survivor Recap... Grosh what was I thinking?!?

Last night's episode was like no other. The tribes got a tree mail to bring all of their personal belongings and head to the beach... everyone (including me) thought the merge was coming... and they were all excited (as was I). They get to the beach and have a delightful spread of yummy treats... including wine (isn't it always funny how drunk they get... I'd probably want to get drunk too... I mean something different for a change... I also think about how much they gorge themselves and how they probably all have to use the bathroom... and not the pretty bathroom visits... the visits we never think about while watching the show... wow I got sidetracked)

So back to what I was saying the lovely spread of food... everyone was happy I mean the tribes were merging and there was food and new people to talk to and new plans to be deployed... No one really seemed to care about the ominous box that was waiting for them until they were done. While eating Kenny noticed a note with a clue to another hidden immunity idol. He wanted to keep it to himself however Charlie spoiled that plan and gave it to the rest of the group.

With everyone knowing where the second HII was, no one could very well just go and get it. Marcus inspired everyone as a group to make the decision to go find it and throw it into the ocean. (although Randy thought that he came up with the plan... the self proclaimed 'King of Gabon') So they went and found it and they gave everyone one last chance to take the idol... The problem here is everyone wanted it but no one could actually say they wanted it since that would be one giant target... So they took it out to ocean and threw it... wow... and immunity was right there... in front of everyone...

Remember that box? Well they opened it and were instructed to draw numbers and then odd on one team and evens on another... no merge two yet again reconstructed tribes. The new Kota (Marcus, Suzie, Bob, Crystal, and Kenny) and the new Fang (Corinne, Matty, Sugar, Randy, and Charlie) The 'Kota 6' was split up and they all assumed the plan was in motion.

Back at the new/old camps Marcus and Crystal figure out they have a connection and no longer does Marcus want to vote out Crystal (the original plan) Back at Fang Matty tells Sugar that Kenny lied to her and they need to stick together. The part about this that bothers me is the things Kenny said weren't all that far from the truth... so really it makes me think about how easy it is to sway Sugar.

The immunity challenge was interesting... I can't imagine how hard it would actually be... Crystal dropped out in like .3 seconds. Matty ended up winning the challenge for Fang. So Kota had a date at tribal...

Marcus pulls Crystal aside and informs her that he wants to bring her in with the 'Kota 6' instead of Suzie... and in order to do that she must vote off Kenny... her closest ally. I was scared at this point that Crystal might actually do that... but luckily she stuck true to Kenny... So then Crystal and Kenny tell Suzie this... and for awhile it seemed like Suzie wouldn't budge... but she ended up making the smart move and together with Crystal and Kenny they voted out Marcus, who I really thought would go a lot further in the game.

Another blindside at tribal... this season is really starting to get good!!
