Survivor: Some Kind of MANCE Going On.

Good Tuesday to all!  Hope you all had a GREAT Halloween!  And if any of our studly men dressed as shirtless Ken for the holiday, PLEASE share your pics!!  He is just freaking yummy good. 

Am I the only one still with repressed high school feelings that brings out the visceral hatred of the "couple" of Figgy and Taylor?  Or did everyone else have to live through high school watching a perfect couple command undeserved attention simply because they had a partner when everyone else was just trying to get through the day?  LOL, so this week was DEEEEELISH.  

I actually looked up what the tribe names were this week.  We have Ikabula consisting of Hanna, Michaela, Jay, Will and Boston Brett.  Takali with the POWER COUPLE, Figgy and Taylor, Adam, Jessica and Shirtless Ken.  Vanua now has David and Chris, along with Zeke and Michele.  

All is happy at the Vanua tribe now that CiCi was voted out.  Zeke is thrilled and thinks the Xrs were silly to send their own home on the only tribe that they had the numbers.  He is now a REBORN player.  I still shake my head at anyone who chooses to go down the Survivor path with David as an alliance.  

Ikabala is hangry.  And hungry for idols.  Jay and Will go out looking for idols and find a strange stick with a tribe logo on it.  Jay breaks it open and finds the idol JUST AS MICHAELA comes round the bend.  Bad timing!  She's keeping quiet for now but if she gets wind of something going down, she's snitching.  

Challenge:  Figgy claps to see CeCe is gone because "I LOVE MICHELE!!!"  Oh, and um, you too Zeke.  Is that your name, Zeke?  Jeff points it out and Michele says the truth works really well on Survivor.  

It's the old blind being led by callers on platforms.  This time they are looking for 4 packets of puzzle pieces and the puzzle will be done while blindfolded as well.  Brett and Hannah sit it out. Wanna know?  They're playing for SUGAR HIGH!  Pie and Cookies and Brownies and Ice Tea and Milk!!  Second place just gets chocolate chip cookies.  

 David is SURPRISE awful, unable to tell his left from his right while blindfolded. Figgy, Jay and Michelle are the callers.  It's about what you would expect except the added drama of Hanna having a panic attack just watching.  They bring in Medical Bob who gets her to stop taking fast breaths, and her arms and hands stop cramping.  Hannah discusses with Jeff that she is prone to panic attacks.  He kinda tells her she's brave for coming out knowing she has them.  

Takali is the first back with all of their puzzle pieces but Vanilla comes from behind and wins.  Ikabana comes in second and Takoli gets nothing.  Figgy has the sads but I'm sure Taylor will like them away with his stinky, coated furry tongue.  

Back at camp Zeke is still stewing about Michelle's reception from Figgy.  He thinks it was a big mistake on Figgy's part and he now wants Michelle to go.  

On Takoli, the romance is brewing.  They even keep referring to themselves as a POWER COUPLE, just like I am SURE those king and queens of high school called themselves every night when they talked over their princess phones, conspiring to have THEIR favorite song be the prom theme.  

Taylor wants to keep sucking face at the lockers in the morning and lunchtime, so he talks Figgy into telling Jessica and Shirtless Ken that they are indeed a couple.  Both pretend to be shocked for about 3 seconds before acknowledging they were well aware of it.  Shirtless Ken:  These kids think this is a vacation.  It's not as cool as they think it is.  

Immunity Challenge

Race to the beach over balance beams, untie 6 bags with coconuts  but also with balls.  Use the 3 balls for a table maze,  
At first David doesn't suck but when heavy lifting of the coconut bags is required, he goes back to suckage.  Shirtless Ken falls off the balance beam but makes up the time hauling all of his nuts and balls (wink) up onto the beach at once.  

Doing the table maze are Figgy/Jessica, Michaela and Hannah, and Zeke/Michelle

I'm pretty surprised Hannah didn't have another panic attack, getting yelled at the whole time by Michaela.  DON'T EVEN MOVE.  But it works and Takali gets the big immunity idol.  

It's between the other 2 tribes and Michaela is offering advice to Zeke and Michelle.  They pull it out and get the second idol, leaving Figgy and Jessica with nothing.  

When asked why Michaela helped, she explains because she wants to keep the M numbers up.  "We have Millennials too" says Takali.  "You have the numbers.  If y'all can't figure out how to work together then you deserve to go home."

Adam feels like a double agent between the 2 couples.  Figgy, challenge loser that she is, says it has to be Ken.  Taylor agrees.  Adam leads them to think he agrees.  Taylor: "Maybe Adam is double crossing us".  hahahahaha, they really laugh that one up.  

Jessica talks to Adam.  He tells her the plan is Ken.  Jessica has shirtless Ken go TALK TO ADAM AND PROMISE HIM UNDYING SUPPORT.  Ken does, saying his has his back until the end.  He could totally have my entire backside until the end, frankly.  

Tribal
Ken admits there is an obvious 3-2 split.
Taylor is confident all of the Ms are gonna stick together and worship at the POWER COUPLE heels.
Figgy says it's not really all peachy in M land, as ADAM ONCE VOTED FOR ME but I barely remember it I've forgiven his so long ago.
Jeff says something about Figgy looking at Adam as equal to all other M's and everyone laughs.
Adam isn't sure it's a romance or a shomance but some kind of mance is going on.  
Jeff asks: R U in Luv?
Taylor says that's a stretch
Ken says how HILARIOUS it was when they announced it, letting everyone now they are ridiculous if they think they are fooling anyone.
Jeff says he's an ordained minister and offers to  marry them.  
Figgy says it would be a Survivor First
Taylor seems to consider it
Figgy says they aren't really concerned that it's out because they are just 2 people who vote together like Ken and Jess.  
Adam says there's a bit of a difference between the 2 relationships. 
Figgy is laughing and saying yea, man, suck it up it just happened but we are still totally strategic.  
Ken says the numbers could change any time
Adam admits to Jeff that he is in the middle of high school. 
Taylor says if Adam flips, come the merger they would just vote his ass out.  
Adam says tonight is about the future and he likes who he is voting out.  "Someone will go home upset and someone will stay upset"
Figgy and Taylor just keep holding hands and laughing.

Time to vote
 
Still hand holding and laughing but now Adam has a sly smile on his face.  Bye bye Figgy!  Sorry Taylor but she'll be sleeping with the crew in about 4 hours.
