Last time I commented, Hali had been sent to the jury.
Rodney is all full of himself, playing both sides and "just waiting for his time". Shirin, the hopeless outsider is still trying to find a way to fit in. Mike approaches her and asks her what her perfect strategy would be, and she says she'd go for Carolyn because Carolyn is part of a tight 4 within their presumed 6 alliance. Mike is all, "I know that". Mike asks if she would go along with him and she agrees. However she thinks it'll be for only one vote and then "she can start taking control".
Challenge
Merika is split into 2 teams, and it's a water obstacle course with a platform, and then they have to hook 5 rings. Wanna know? You're playing for a chance to go to the Chocolate Cafe PROVIDED BY MARS, MAKERS OF PEANUT M&Ms. Blue team is Mike, Tyler, Shirin, Dan and Sierra while Red team is Rodney, Jenn, Joe, Carolyn and Will. Carolyn falls....Shirin falls.....we're tied and then THE BLUE TEAM WINS. Jenn is totally distraught and bummed out. Joe says "it's still a good day to be on Survivor".
At the chocolate cafe Mike films a snickers commercial.
The red team thinks, fuck it, we're eating one of these chickens. Jenn is even sadder and full of despair at the loss of another of her "friends". Rodney amuses everyone by doing pretty good impressions of Mike and Dan. Joe realizes that Rodney really doesn't like Mike.
Joe and Jenn talk. Jenn doesn't want to be there anymore. She wants him to let her win immunity if it comes down to them, and then she'll switch it out and give him the necklace at the last minute. Just because that would be fun to screw with the cool kids.
Immunity Challenge: It's the balance on your toes while holding a block on your head against the upper frame challenge. Joe is in the final 4 but doesn't make it. His only hope Jenn, is last up with Tyler....but Tyler wins immunity. Booooo.
Shirin, who endlessly runs the numbers in her noggin, sees that there could be a "numbers loophole" where by the blue team will split the vote 3 for Jenn, 3 for Joe and Shirin could actually be a swing vote to cause either a tie or a 4 vote advantage for either Jenn or Joe. Jenn talks to Shirin and asks that she votes for her instead of Joe.
Mike realizes one person could mess things up. He tells Shirin who to vote for and makes it clear it's a loyalty thing.
Joe realizes his only bet is to fake an idol. Mike has everyone watching Joe all day so Joe takes Dan outside of camp to talk to him. After they finish Dan returns to camp and Joe sprints away to his collection of stuff which he uses to make a fake idol (FYI-he makes jewelry for a "living" which probably means he wires shit together and sells it at tacky craft fairs. I know because I have had the booth next to him a bazillion times).
Mike sees Dan is like "WHERE THE HELL IS JOE". Dan is like, oh yea I was supposed to watch him. Mike runs off into the jungle and finds Joe. Joe says he has an idol and he is willing to vote for Jenn in exchange for the idol if Joe gets to stay. Mike knows he has an idol but wonders if there is another idol. Mike wants the idol in advance but Joe doesn't want to give it to him in advance of tribal.
Tribal
Joe hands Mike his fake idol.
Jenn admits to Jeff that she is apathetic. " A lot of good stuff and a lot of bad stuff is happening" She tells Jeff that she was hoping to win immunity so she could give it to Joe because everyone is gunning for him. But she says she is not quitting.
Joe points out that he wants to be there but Jenn is done emotionally
Shirin says something about it being to her advantage for Jenn to be there at the end not Joe
Mike asks Jeff to verify the idol but Jeff says he can't verify it until it's played
Vote.
Any idols? Mike plays the fake one "for Will". Jeff confirms it's fake.
Aaaaaaand, Joe is voted out. WHAAAAAAAAA. THERE IS NO ONE TO ROOT FOR ANYMORE!!!
And the following week begins now.....
Rodney is talking to his final 4 about how now may be the time to take Mike out. Aaaand, Mike overhears the entire thing.
Bang, we're at the Trader Jeff's auction. Everyone gets $500, no sharing. First up is a covered item, which Will buys for $100. It contains a note.....that says "bye bye your time at the auction is over". It's quite bullshit. Shirin buys Chicken and Waffles for $300 and says she isn't waiting for the advantage. Jeff asks who is waiting for the advantage? Dan, Carolyn and Mike say they aren't gonna go for any food.
So Jeff basically sells out all of the food to those who are eating. And then, the love letters from home. Shirin points out that in previous seasons whatever the price was for one, everyone got to purchase for that same price. Carolyn asks the advantage 2 if they would also go for it and then have $480 for the advantage bid. They agree but Mike welches at the last minute. Dan is actually crying for his letter because his wife "is the love of his life and the what you read about". LOL, she is probably also a goat. Carolyn et al are pissed and she gives her letter back. Finally Mike grows a pair and spends the $20.
The advantage goes for $480 and is a 3 way tie. They draw straws and Dan gets it. Auction is over. Dans says that Mike broke his heart with his betrayal.
Will walks back to camp and finds a clue for a burried box. And, the box is actually marked so he can't miss it. It's a box with snacks and something called electrolyte powder for his use until the end of the game. AND THAT'S ALL. Will decides to share the bounty because he is not a shrewd asshole. Unfortunately he is on an island with a bunch of shrewd assholes.
Everyone returns to camp and Will excitedly shows his stuff. Mike talks to Shirin and tells her he was a dick because he knows Rodney has flipped and he needed the advantage. He tells her "I'm blowing this up".
At camp, everyone is loving their letters and Mike goes postal, says he knows the plan is for the 4 to take him out, yells how flippers never win... Shirin says this is clearly exhaustion and paranoia. Mike ultimately apologizes for ruining the feel good time.
Dan tells Rodney' "Mike is over the deep end. He dogged you, man"
Dan opens his advantage and learns that he gets an extra vote at a tribal of his choosing. He calls it his Willie Wonka Golden Ticket moment.
Mike stirs up shit by wondering if Will shared all that was in his box. He wonders where the rest of the box is. Will loses it and gets the box, calls Shirin Miss Greedy Ass and then proceeds to berate her about no one loving her at home. Ok, it's probably true but it was over the top. Mike pulls her out of there as Will keeps up and Shirin gets to 'share' her domestic abuse family situation story. Will tells her to leave and that Mike is her bitch. OK, probably not wise but WHAT A FUCKING AWESOME RANT.
Immunity Challenge
Will tells Jeff, who has already been informed I'm sure by the camera people that he isn't doing well. It hurt to leave the auction without the chance to get a letter from home. He asks if he can opt out of the challenge in exchange for his letters? Jeff puts it to the group and Shirin says NOPE.
The challenge is a teeter totter thingy they have to walk through carrying a ping pong ball with a pair of tongs, and then place the ball on a stand. Spoiler alert, Mike kicks ass and wins immunity. Will says "bring the popcorn, it's gonna be the best tribal ever".
Lots of shit at camp. Carolyn keeps saying they are 6 strong. Mike wants to break the 6 up by breaking the 4 up. Asks Shirin about Tyler or Carolyn? He's not even sure about Sierra or Dan.
Jenn is trying to work Dan but admits "my entire game is in a dumbasses hands.
Mike talks to Dan who tells him they are a 6 person alliance not a 4. Carolyn thinks Dan would be stupid to flip. Mike is working him all day. Everyone is working Dan who is like DO NOT PISS ME OFF AND DO NOT GIVE ME ANY MORE ADVICE, IT'S MY CHOICE. MIIIIIIIINE.
TC
Will brings up the Shirin fight, says he shared it all-all food and there was no letter. Shirin didn't believe him so he exploded.
Shirin begs to differ. Says he went personal bringing up that she had no family, no soul and was a loser (did he??) She explains that she is a victim of domestic abuse from her dad which is why she doesn't have family. I think there is a lot more of this on the cutting room floor, personally.
Sierra says that they are "worlds apart" Jeff (and gets an M&M as a treat for using the theme name). They are just 9 starving individuals.
Dan admits there are breaks in the blue collar alliance. 'You can't just park your emotions"
Mike points out that there is a 4some who has decided he is a threat, but he points out that Sierra and Dan are next.
Rodney tells Jeff that they are mad that Mike almost screwed up people getting letters from love ones.
Jeff pretends to be surprised at and tribal discontent but his botox gets in the way.
Shirin points out that is's not 6 vs 3 anymore but 4 vs 2 vs 1.
Carolyn goes back to the we're 6 strong picking off the others meme
Dan says, it's all about how and who you get to the end vote with.
Vote
No idol played.....and Jenn is the next one out. She tells them to play nice on the way out!
