Good Morning Survivors!  I hope you all had your final morning breakfast, and did your walk of shame with all those who have had their torches snuffed before you-although WAIT, this season only 2 have really been snuffed (and OF COURSE I own one of those).  Wonder if they will even do it this season since we've had the lingering purgatory of Extinction Island.  Notice they didn't even show it again last week? And notice when they do they try to not show that there is a well build shelter?  I think Extinction was more like Ponderosa than the sparse wasteland they initially presented.  

Should someone from Extinction win Survivor?  Will the entire cast be allowed to do the final vote?  Will they ever do this again?  Personally I hope not.  

And I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I am 1000% Team Devins.  No one else should win this season.  

OK, last week Devins pulled an idol out of his ass at Tribal and Ron was sent to EI which according to Gavin makes Devins 100% the target.  

Devins tells everyone that the idol he played came from Extinction, and that all idols come from there in an attempt to get these lazy asses to not look for idols.  Aurora now feels "connected" to her Victoria, Lauren and Gavin alliance after one vote.  However she agrees that Devins is so hard to get out of the game (it's called being outplayed, honey).  Devins is such an idol monster he gets up during the night and is off looking for an idol while everyone else is sleeping.  

Aurora asks the group "are we worried about where Devins is??"  Lauren says she knows he is lying about the idol fairy on Extinction.  

Aaaand, Devins finds the idol.  Seriously, they recreate the discovery for the cameras right?  Or does the cameraman stand there and point to the hidden idols to save everyone time?  But let me say, my couch in Spring City erupted in such JOY when he found it the dogs have yet to recover.  Devins gets choked up at how proud his family will be of him.  

Reward Challenge:  It's my dog's favorite challenge because it has a BALL in it.  Race with a ball, toss it into a trough and catch it at the other end, dig your way under a beam (my least favorite challenge element and it makes me break out in sweat every time).  And then the throw the ball up onto a perch and have it stick.  Wanna know?  Helicopter ride, resort trip, chicken and pasta.  

Gavin wins reward and takes Victoria and Lauren along, YET AGAIN pissing Aurora off.  And Devins has to concern troll by saying "WOW, I thought it would be Aurora, she deserves it".  Seriously, Aurora is her own worst enemy refusing to work with Devins because those 2 minds working together would kill it.  Aurora is all "I'm never part of the group...people don't want me" in a way that only a foster care child can really feel.  Gavins says "I hope Aurora knows she's STILL better off with me than with Devins".  

On reward the 3 are all "we are totally sticking together to the end".  Which is hilarious since every one of them has killed off their closest allies.  Gavin says they have to keep Devins from winning ad then get Julie out.  Lauren is particularly concerned about how close Julie and Devins are.  

Once they return to camp Victoria goes to rub it in, oh, I mean goes to smooth things over with Aurora.  With fried chicken breath.  Aurora is still mad but says that the logical choice is still to stick with the cool kids that don't really like her to get Devins and Julie out.  

Oh wait, they do cover Extinction this week.  I had totally forgotten it was so effing boring.  They get a box delivered and instead of letters from loved ones it's letters they wrote to themselves before the game began.  Do they always do this?  Is this some quazi psychology experiment Jeff is playing with for his online PhD?  Anywhoo, the letters are drivel and this is an incredible waste of time and effort to show that these maneaters have any sense of compassion of ability for growth.  Seriously my notes are just "blah blah blah".  Someone loser says that the growth and change was better than any million dollars- keep practicing that line because you're gonna be using it for the rest of your life.  Reem says something about what a loser she was in her letter and she is now A SURVIVOR (seriously I hope they throw her a few bucks for being the longest on Extinction).  David says something about how this has made things more clear with his girlfriend and I'm wondering what kind of 40 plus year old loser has to go starve themselves TWICE in order for them to consider moving to 2 dates a week?  

Back on camp, a wonderful episode is going on with Devins messing with everyone's heads by making them try to follow him while he pretends to look for the idol.  He's hiding behind trees. and escaping them and basically mentally and physically exhausting them.  

And now we get to the immunity challenge.  They have to carry blocks with letters over 2 balance beams and them do a work puzzle.  Aurora is already done because she "hates word puzzles".  

Devins wins immunity!!!!!  Woohooo!!  

He also knows that now that he has immunity they are going to go for Julie.  He asks her if she'd like to talk.  They discuss voting out Aurora and hoping they can convince someone else to join them.  

Aurora says that Devins is the thorn in her side.  She trusts her final 4 and Julie is the next logical choice to go home.  

Julie tells Lauren she and Devins are going with Aurora.  Tells her that Aurora is much stronger player than basically the other 3.  Lauren agrees and thinks she has a much better chance of winning against Julie than against Aurora.  She decides to try and convince Gavin.  She tells him it seems stupid to go for Julie but Gavin is convinced that Aurora is less likely to flip on them.  Gavin wants to make sure Victoria is in on the Julie/Aurora discussion.  Victoria is mad that Lauren was ready to vote out Aurora without talking to her and is all "Gavin came to run it by me first".  She still wants Julie.  

Devins tells Julie that he still has a few tricks up his sleeve to drive a wedge between the 4.  "Paranoid and crazy= unpredictable"

Tribal

Devins says there are a lot of unhappy people at camp whose plans got shuffled.

Julie agrees that there is a 3 person alliance without them.  Says nobody wanted to talk to her.

Aurora says everyone knows she wants Devins out.

Jeff asks Victoria if there is any danger of obsessing over Devins?  But she and Gavin basically show how much they are obsessing over him by continuing to talk about how he's the center of attention and is EVERYWHERE.  

Devins says "meanwhile I can find a lot of things"

Aurora says he's giving it 100%

Jeff points out that even though he is safe he's still their obsession.

Devins says they are a 4 person alliance-actually a 3 person because Aurora is on the outs,  He then says he has an idol and is playing it for Julie and targeting someone else to join them to vote for Aurora. 

Gavin is all nervous.

Lauren says why not add the additional drama tonight!

Aurora is scrambling and says she doesn't believe he'll actually play the idol for julie

Devins points out that the reason to protect Julie with his idol is with someone coming back from the edge it could be a 3-3 game.  He says that since he came back once, he is taking advantage of his second chance and "playing with house money"

Time to vote!!

Anyone want to play an idol?  Nope!!!!  And basically EVERYONE votes for Aurora!!  

Should be a wild ride tonight!!!
