Survivor fans ready?
Keeping in with my way of doing things, I'm sitting through the Previously On segment.
We pick up with Reba returning from Tribal. Sifu comments about his name coming up in the vote. Dee agreed she was surprised to see hers name. Dee, of course, was the vote for Sifu. She thought others would vote for him, too. Sean told Sifu he didn't vote for him on his way out. Julie is shocked. Now Sifu knows that someone is lying about writing Sean. He's suspicious but can't figure who wrote his name.
Belo Day 10. They have no food, no energy. Emily spots a worm. Kendra picks it up. The others encourage her to eat the worm. She does. Kind of, sort of. It doesn't stay down. The others talk about Kendra's energy.
Lulu Day 10. Jake and Bruce start to head out. Uh-oh. Jake collapses. It's the second time he's done that. Jake weighed 287 before going into Survivor. It took him two years to lose the weight. Kellie says his blood pressure lowered before he collapsed. He vows to fight until the end of the game.
Lulu Day 10 - Kaleb and Jake go off looking for crabs. Katurah realizes she's all alone and goes off looking for an idol. She bumps into the rest. The knew she was idol searching. They think Katurah is all over the place. Kaleb tells Katurah he saw her looking for an idol and tried to stop her before the others saw her. He, like he did with Emily before, creates bonds with others. He wants that bond with Kellie. He told her that Sabiyah found the idol in that camp and they bond.
Reba Day 10 - The women are upset that Sean quit and that he told Sifu he didn't vote for him on the way out. We get Dee's backstory and she doesn't come from a family that quits. Sifu is stunned by his wake-up call vote. He has made a fake idol. He tells Dee that he has an idol. J thinks Sifu thinks she put his name down. She didn't.
Belo Day 10 - Brando and Drew talk Kendra. Brando didn't have a strong connection in tribe before. Brando/Drew really bond, nerding out so to say. Nerd alliance? Drew is not for that at the merge. Brando wants to solidify the bond with Kendra. Brando thinks Emily is in the best spot as she is between the two members of the other two tribes she is in with now. She has promised both sides she's in with them. Uh-oh.
Lulu Day 10 - Bruce's Brucisms are coming out. He does seem to be always on. Katurah is on alert about him. Katurah thinks Kaleb may be seeing the issues with Bruce. He is definitely coming off as bossy. Kaleb is doing his best to please him.
Reba Day 10 - J tells Julie she will say she voted out Sifu and he doesn't need to use his idol. They don't know it's fake. She is going to pretend that she's on the outs and was desperate. Dee is thinking it might be best to vote out J if they go to Tribal again. Julie is in a quandary about it.
Day 11 Immunity Challenge. Race massive three level obstacle course, collecting keys, once they get the keys sandbags, knock down targets. Also playing for massive 10 fresh fish and cooking stuff, second half that prize.
REBA wins 1st Place Immunity! Lulu wins 2nd Place!
Belo will go to Tribal Council for the first time this season.
A twist - one person from each tribe to go on a journey. They will be back in time for Tribal. Reba, J goes. From Lulu, Kellie. Belo, Austin. The other tribes pick.
Once again, Emily is going to Tribal Council. Is that every single one this season? Hmm.
Belo is in pre-Tribal woe phase. Or will they scramble? Kendra is worried. She wants Emily on their side. She brings up Drew as he is so tall and thin. Brand offers to give Drew his shot in the dark to not write his name down. Let it be Kendra? Drew thinks he's being played. Emily and Drew talk. What? Vote out Kendra? Emily thought Brando and Kendra were together. Emily thinks Drew is lying to her. Kendra trusts that Brando and Emily will vote out Drew with her tonight.
Meanwhile, the journey. Kellie feels odd man out with two original Reba members. They have to hike to the top of a mountain. Ohh ... they find sandwiches at the top. They can choose sustenance or strategy. Food or an amulet which need to be played with all the amulets in the game. Austin wants the sandwich. J wants the amulet. If only one amulet remains in the game, it's like an idol. If two or three, steal a vote and extra vote.
Day 11. Still at the mountain. Austin is SO hungry! He relents and they will work together with the amulets. He wants to turn his amulet into an idol.
Belo Day 11 - Emily talks to Drew about the voting out of Kendra. She asks him if he's the one who started that. She tells him that she doesn't know who to trust. Austin lies to them, telling them they had sandwich or carry coconuts and they failed the task. He shows Drew the real truth on paper. Both Drew and Austin have advantages but they need to get Emily's trust. Austin shows Emily what he has. Drew or Brando? Which will get her vote to go?
Night 11 - Tribal Council. It's Belo's first time there.
They get Jeff's Probsting questions about being there. Drew seems a bit into embellishments. Is Emily in the middle? Yep.
Time to vote. Austin sacrifices his vote to extend the life of his idol, but then restores the vote with his other advantage.
The tally: Drew, Brando, Drew, Brando, Brando ... Kendra is shocked. Emily apologizes to her. Drew and Austin briefly touch hands with Emily.
Next week is the merge?!?!
