Survivor: Yellow Submarine

 Yo yo yo!  Welcome to Survivor Advantage!  Where there are so many idols and advantages ya need a chart.  Unfortunately I do not have a chart.  If you do, please send it to me!!

The tribe formerly known as Yellow is in disarray.  They're all scrambin' and dealin.  Xander is wondering if he should trust Tiffany and Evvie (helloooooooo.  TRUST NO ONE).  Evvie is on a relationship recovery tour which doesn't seem to be doing well.  Deshawn is a complete NO on the issue, pointing out that they all voted for him!  Pretty sure they will not be joining the HISTORIC Black Alliance.  

Challenge- with a sit out advantage.  Anyone else find the fact that Jeff has to explain shit to us viewers directly creepy?  I guess it's to make us all feel part of the circus although a quick shot of the advantage on the bench would have been sufficient.  

Survivors are randomly divided into 2 teams of five with one person sitting out with no chance to win.  The challenge does have the required leaps, swims, climbs, pulls and puzzles,  Wanna know?  GRILLED CHEESE BACK AT CAMP.  Damn,  I almost made myself a reward sandwich while watching.  Erika AGAIN gets excluded as the sit out person but Xander, eager to kiss any exposed ass, asks to switch with her since she hasn't eaten in days.  Xander apparently assumes there is an advantage but although we see him looking he fails to find the scroll that says ADVANTAGE.  The blue team consists of Danny, Ricard, Deshawn, Erika and Evvie and unsurprisingly with al the muscle KICKS ASS. They are way far ahead getting to the pyramid giant ball puzzle which Evvie finishes in a hot minute because she built one with beads and practiced.  So, GRILLED CHEESE AND CHIPS FOR THE BLUE TEAM!!!

Tiffany is annoyed she is SOMEHOW on the losing team again.  Funny that!  Shan and Liana are crying about the grilled cheese.  Shan is HANGRY and taking it out on Evvie.  Xander says he basically sat out because the challenge losers are always eager for allies.  And Shan and Li approach him.  Loser Naseer goes out and finds papaya and the losers all try to convince themselves that it is DAMN GOOD PAPAYA.  

Returning to camp and picking American Cheese out of his teeth, Ricard helps himself to a piece of papaya which is SIMPLY NOT DONE.  Shan is REALLY REALLY HANGRY NOW.  "That says it all, that's character right there".  

Ricard is kind of incredulous that he is on the outs because he attempted to hoover up the starving players food.  Sarcastically tells people "If you get food at a challenge YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.  He's aware enough to worry if Shan will resent him.  

Immunity Challenge-it's the one where you stand on tip toes with a wood thing on your head pressed against the top and you have to stand there to keep the block from falling.  But of course THERE IS A TWIST!!  Jeff offers a portion of rice if one person sits out, but if multiple people sit out they can negotiate for more rice.  Shan is apparently the self appointed negotiator and she asks how many is multiple-3?  Jeff says 7.  The get that down to 5.  But only Shan and Naseer volunteer.  Heather says she feels she needs to compete and I'm yelling at the TV-c'mon  you're not going to win this challenge!  Xander asks if 4 people would work, volunteers to join them if another steps out  and Ricard sits out as well.  So they have negotiated 3 days of rice in exchange for immunity.  Kinda risky for Xander!

Jeff keeps telling them the last time they did this challenge it went over 2 hours, but within seconds Deshawn, Erika and Tiffany drop.  Liana, Danny drop next and it's down to Evvie and OMG WHAAAT??? Heather.  Evvie wins immunity in 4 minutes.  

Liana says that the Evvie plan is gone so she wants to force Xander to play his idol and for Tiffany to go home.  Naseer wants to split the vote to feel comfortable.  Deshawn suggests to Shan Tiffany and Naseer.  Shan thinks Xander is a bigger threat and goes into dog with a bone mode.  Deshawn gets annoyed with her and tells her he needs to know she is listening to her.  Shan smoothes things over but still wants to have her way. She says tell everyone it's between Tiffany and Naseer.  Naseer hears this and freaks out.  Says they can't use his name-suggests Heather.  Xander hears it and doesn't believe it's Heather.  Tiffany thinks it's her.  She asks Danny and he basically says "could be you".  Shan and Liana tell Heather they're just using her name and she blows up.  If they use their idols then I'm screwed.  

Tribal

Jeff asks if food is an issue.

Shan says her "pastoral heart" led her to try to get rice for the flock

Xander says it was a big move for him to reopen the negotiations because he wanted to prove himself to the tribe

Naseer says he gave his heart for the tribe even though he know he would have won

Heather says she is scared that she is on the bottom

Tiffany says same.  Says she is only one of 2-3 people kept in the dark

Danny says he's not sure either

Shan says really??

Evvie agrees that no one told her the plan either

Deshawn says that all 3 yellows were ready to turn last week, says he doesn't believe it

Evvie says they were going to let her go before she won immunity

Erika says we are all off balance because we don't know who is with who

Jeff says is it time to vote?  And Heather is like, wait aren't we going to discuss who to vote for?  I still can't decide if she's clueless or if this was strategy but she is trying to talk people back into Naseer as the alternate.  Now everyone is crazy again and Deshawn is mad that he's once again being told what to do by Shan.  Ricard tells Xander to play his idol.  Shan says she's talking to people the way THEY NEED TO BE TALKED TO.  That's going to sting next week....

Finally it's time to vote.  Any advantages or idols??  NO

Xander 2

Heather 2

Naseer 1

And Tiffany is gone with 5 votes!
