Survivor fans ready? 

Sitting out the Previously On segment. Whoops! There goes Brando!

We start with Belo returning to the camp. Emily feels part of a team for once. Kendra was blindsided. She wants revenge on Emily but is putting a happy face on for the tribe.

Lulu Day 12. Bruce has a Beware advantage which he finds in front of the others on his tribe. He loses his vote. They all ran to camp. Bruce wants Katurah to not find the idol and is with everyone else but her. Whoops, there she comes! Jake fakes losing a ring. 

A boat arrives at Belo. Drop your buffs, they will be taken to their new home. Reba gets drop your buffs, new people will be arriving soon. Lulu also have the note. Bruce FINDS what he's looking for! He tells Kellie, Kaleb and Jake about finding it.

The two boats are on their way to the Reba camp. Dee is happy to see Drew and Austin. So many are reuniting. Kaleb is thrilled to be back with Emily and is happy that she is doing better. They are the only two Lulu left. They all get a feast!    

Kendra is acting a bit wacky about things. Is she trying to channel her inner Carolyn from last season. Kendra gets with Bruce, tells all she knows. Emily is regretting the comments she made to Bruce at the start of the game. Bruce acts like he accepts her apologies but tells us he will get her.     

Austin is still thinking sandwiches. He still wants revenge on J and the other one there. His idol will expire after this tribal council unless he loses his vote. Julie thinks J will cut them as soon as she can. Drew thinks it's time to elevate themselves to the new stage of the game.

GAH -- a Lindor CHRISTMAS AD. Too early! Too early! EEK! A Kohls Christmas commercial. Make them STOP!

Day 13 and it's pouring. Sifu loves it. He's probably the only one. Emily and Kaleb are really clicking all over again. Kaleb gets more intel from Belo. Emily tries working more on Bruce. No one is talking to him. Kendra does, though. Bruce thinks Kaleb is floating around with everyone. He tries talking to his old Belo. Then he talks to Kaleb. Kaleb does not appreciate Bruce's advice not to talk to others. Kaleb talks to Kellie who agrees with him. She's over Bruce.

Immunity Challenge time! Jeff takes back the tribal idols. There is no individual immunity yet because they haven't reached that stage. Randomly divided intotwo groups of sixc, threw mud, to cart, push cart, sandbags, top of tower, keys, slide down, work together to top of big boulder, two puzzles. First team to finish earns merge buff, merge meal and immunity from the first tribal council. One too many. That one will bet on a team. 

Blue and Red. Katurah has no color. She bets on Blue. If they win, she will join them. If they lose, she will join them.

RED

BLUE

BLUE wins Immunity and the merge meal. Someone on Red will go home tonight. They will still vote tonight at Tribal but cannot be voted out.

The Blue team is having a ball at the Sanctuary. Drew, Julie, Sifu, Bruce, Austin, Katurah. Sifu wants J out because she wrote down his name. Of course, it was Dee. Kendra thinks Kaleb is dangerous.  

On Red, Jake is nervous. J tells Jake that Kaleb needs to go. She's on high alert about him. Dee tells Jake she wants to vote out J. Kellie is happy with a J choice.

Day 13. Red people are all worried. Katurah talks to them about J. She thinks Kaleb is strong but she wants J out. Bruce thinks they should be voting out social butterfly Kaleb. Uh-oh ... Drew is up for it. Although Austin wants J out, he thinks it might be best to get rid of Kaleb. Emily wants to save her only ally Kaleb. Uh-oh.

Emily warns Kaleb. Kaleb tells Drew Bruce has an idol. He lets Austin know. They are walking off to Tribal.

Tribal Council Night 13. Jeff asks Drew about what happened yesterday. Drew says there is still a lot of instability. Emily thinks she squashed the issue with Bruce. J says yesterday was overwhelming. Kaleb says he's an optimist, may be a big threat but not a big strategic threat. Is there a Lulu curse? Ohh ... Kaleb tells them the most dangerous threat would be J. Oh my. 

Time to vote.

J votes "Caleb." Austin is not voting to extend his idol into a real idol.

The tally: Whoa! Kaleb plays his Shot in the Dark. Jeff opens it. Kaleb is SAFE! J is NOT happy.

Back to the tally: Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb, Kaleb. ALL the votes were for Kaleb. No more shot in the darks can play. They have to revote. J wants Emily out, Bruce tells Emily he wants J out. J is really pushing the Emily. Uh-oh.

Revote time. Emily votes J. J votes Emily.

The tally: J, Emily, J, J, J, J, J ... six is enough.

J is gone, my blog pool random pick Emily remains and they have now all made the merge.

TWO people are going home next week.
