Holy cow is this season moving at lightening speed? It's adapt or be killed apparently. And, do we all LOVE JEFF VARNER??? I gotta say he is my new favorite Survivor, with his ripped man sleeves. I almost want to go back and see him in his original season, but I gotta say this wine has gotten much better with age.
So, apparently I was right that Ta Keo never got fire started, which is pure bullshit with the number of old timers on this tribe. Seriously Probst, NO MORE GIVING OUT FLINT!!! They immediately got their fire started upon return to camp. Lots of other things blazing too but we'll get there.
Kelly Wigglesworth is pretty clueless this time around, I gotta say. I don't think she has a clue what happened. She says the old schoolers need to "defend" themselves. She's amazingly muted going along but is that strategy?? Hmmmmm.
Kelley with an E finally gets to read her idol note, and is all giddy. She buries it under about half an inch of weeds, which once again proves to me THAT THERE ARE FENCES AROUND THE CAMPS AND NO ANIMALS GET IN, with the exception of the ones the producers throw over the fence. GOD I would love to see one of those little monkey things wearing her idol necklace!!
Spencer can't count obviously. He thinks the vote randomly happened because they didn't have time to plan. Let's decide now who goes out. Jeff strings him along saying he's loyal and they are 5 strong. Jeff apparently pulled this shenanigans to teach the old schoolers a lesson. He wants to get rid of Shirin and Spencer, as would anyone who were on the receiving end of all that tactical analysis Shirin have him.
Jeff talks to Terry-It's a new game. I wanted you guys to get off of your ass and play. He assures Terry that he is going with them ultimately. Terry is like, holy crap that's what a 2x4 upside the head feels like! Jeff, who did I mention I LOVE, looks around after their talk for the "spy shack".
Over on Bayon it's just Joe worship. It's kind of like Magic Mike but better. He whips a few hammocks out of his magical locks, and uses the fishing net to catch a pork loin roast, 5 chickens and veal parm. He's the SURVIVOR MAGYVER.
Fish isn't a fan, and it's really hard for me to put my finger on it. Oh right, BECAUSE FISH IS A TOTAL LOSER. He thinks Joe should be kept around until merge time and then gotten rid of.
Spencer asks Abi if she's OK. She's riding the massive aggressive "OK" thing most husbands on this pool recognize as dangerous as hell. She turns and goes all crazy on PG who was explaining show to make some kind of fire chimney. It's weird. Spencer thinks she's a drama queen and a "permanent liability". She loves to cause fights and walks up to Woo, Terry and Jeff and interrupts their conversation. Jeff calls her the Brazilian soap opera. But he is also loving her! She's the perfect tool. "She's so delicious who needs food???"
Andrew (Savage) tells the story of meeting his wife, a beauty queen winner who was touring the world, stopped in to NY to visit his roommate, returned after a trip to San Francisco and married him 3 months later. "She's my world".
After telling his story, Jeremy gets upset and walks away because he is missing his wife, Val, who is pregnant.
Kass says these people are so good and nice perhaps she will also become good and nice. Yea, don't wait for it. Fish, in his cluelessness asks if Jeremy is off looking for an idol. This pisses Savage off because it tells him Fish is playing the game 24/7. He finds Jeremy on the beach and they do some bro bonding, and discuss Fish and where his head is all the time. Savage doesn't think Fish's time of the island will be long.
Over on Ta whatever, it's evening and Shirin and PG are bitching it up about Abi, who moves out of the shadows and tells them they heard everything. She and PG go at it for a bit, Shirin shrinks off. Afterwards PG goes to the shelter and they all laugh it up about the fight and about Abi, who is on the beach crying. Terry feels bad because no one is standing up for her and he goes down to the beach where we have a season changing moment of bonding between the 2 of them. The "clicked" and Abi tells him she's open to working with him. Terry says that Jeff lit a fire under his ass and made him understand the value of the social game.
Next morning, all in romantic sepia tone, Jeff is for some reason self flagellating himself with the sleeves of his shirt and Abi comes to him out of the mist as if in a dream. The discuss how NICE Terry is, and Jeff tells her she is is fabulous, "your little moments turn me on". Oh, I guess that explains the beating himself with the sleeves.
Immunity Challenge. Jeff almost forgets to take back the idol. The challenge is a series of a frames that they have to climb over while carrying ropes, then use the ropes to pull boxes across track. Inside the boxes????? C'mon you knew they were gonna be puzzle pieces.
Probst is all excited by the skinned hineys going down the A-frames. God, could I tell y'all stories...... Ta-bow or whatever is ahead at the puzzle, they change people out a few times but ultimately Joe the Magnificent solves the puzzle before Shirin and Spencer. Jeff is amused that Spencer and Shirin were the ones to lose the challenge.
Back at camp, they're all weakly saying "oh yea, good effort, it was a team loss". Spencer is totally glad he is in control of this game, unlike last time!
Jeff wants one of them out. Doesn't matter which one as they are 2 heads of the snake. PG is cool with that, as she thinks they're both dangerous. Basically everyone agrees.
Shirin in her cluelessness approaches Abi to see if they are OK. Um, that would be a "no". She apologizes for the other night and Abi told her she wishes one of them had come to check on her but as it turns out Terry did. And she's very loyal.....She then tells Shirin that Jeff and Kelley want them gone. Shirin is all, "wait, but we are still together right??" Abi's all, "no, that's not really my style".
Spencer and Shirin are losing it She tells him Abi and Jeff are going with old school. The rush up to Woo and dump on him that he's on the bottom and once they merge "you're done". He's kind of appalled by this as it's the first conversation they ever had with him. Shirin promises him any deal he wants and he says NO WAY.
Spencer cries on his alone camera time because "Shirin is the one I wanted to play with".
Tribal
Jeff says they are exhausted from the challenge.
Spencer says it's like they all had amnesia about how great Survivor is and the game actually sucks
Shirin says that she had a rough time on season one and now it's all happening again. There's fighting, lost trust and I'm suddenly on the bottom again.
Kelley with an E tells Probst that Abi and PG had a fight.
Abi explains the situation and that "Terry was the only one to rescue me"
Probst points out to Shirin that the same thing happened last time. He kind of lights into her and she admits she didn't "fix" her original mistakes.
Terry tells Probst that he was feeling on the bottom the other day and that he and Abi made a connection. (Is this the freaking Bachelor???)
Spencer admits he and Shirin are targets, and that they put too much effort into strategy and not enough in getting to know people, which YES JEFF PROBST is the same thing that happened last time around. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW??
Spencer promises to be a better person if they spare him.
Shirin just says "change is hard". Because she frankly still doesn't see how freaking annoying she is.
Time to vote! Spencer gets 4 votes, Shirin 5 and thank you jesus she is gone.
