Watching Survivor

:-02 *Slides into chair just in time* WHEW! It’s Survivor time, kids! Yay!

:00 Previously, on Survivor…

:01 Timbira, day 9, as they tribe gets back from Tribal Council, and Coach talks about the Leadership argument and he says it pissed him off and Errin has to go, she’s the cancer of the tribe, and she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She would have been one unanimously had Jerry not been sick.

The next morning, they start talking about picking a leader, and figuring out what works best, they need it. Tyson tells us that they established Brenden or Coach as leader, and adds “I wasn’t paying attention, i don’t really care.”

Then Coach steps up and says he trusts Brenden as leader, as much as he’d like to be it, then tells us that if brenden got voted off, he’d step in. But he wants a sharp tribe. He continues and says they’re not succeeding, thriving, or existing, he’s the only one that’s got experience, and he is the strongest and should lead, while they’re only existing.

:04 Roll credits and commercial!

:07 nd we’re back, checking in at Jalapao on day 10. Spencer says that they’re worried when Taj goes to exile, and what kind of toll it’s taking on her. She, however is handling things well, and tells us so, as well as her plan to talk to Steven. She pulls him aside, and they have their little powow. She tels him that they’re gonna be part of the biggest upset in Survivor history. Steve tells us about the pact, and he says he just stumbled ass backwards into a big alliance and Taj promises him she’ll protect him.

Over on Timbira - Tree Mail! Talk about shouldering the load… and they figure they’ll pick Taj, and Brenden hasn’t had a chance to talk to Sierra yet about the plan, and he’s worried.

Challenge time! 3 members will hav a pole across their shoulders, each round weight will be added - drop the pole, out of the challenge, last one standing wins reward. 2 men and 1 woman must be chosen. The reward is a camp raid! 2 Members go to the losing tribe and steal two items. And 2 people go to Exile.

Sitting out is Sierra, and Steven and Spenser.

Weight bearers Joe, Taz, JT - Debra, Brenden, Tyson. Brenden and Joe get the first weight - the other tribe decides ho gets it, and the tribe member adds weight to their own tribe. Each bag weighs 10 pounds. JT and Tyson get the next bags. Jalapao hits Brenden again, while Timbira hits Taj. She looks STRONG standing there - wonder how long she can hang in with the big boys?

Speeding through adding weignt, and Brenden has 180, all thew ay down to Taj and Debra holding 80 pounds. Brenden is at 200 now, and the record is 220 in Pearl Islands by RUPURT! Brenden is 2 bags away from that, and they hit him with it again. Taj points out he’s wobbling, and drops it. JT has 200 pounds for Jalapao, while Timbira has Debra and Tyson hanging in for them. JT is DETERMINED. He holds 220! Tyson is wobbling and falls out at 140. Debra is Timbira’s only hope - and JT drops out, tying Ruperts record. JOe drops out right behind him - his arm is hurt, and it’s down to the omen, Debra vs. Taj! Debra is shaky, Taj is STRONG. Both women are at 100 pounds now. Taj is starting to sweat, but looks solid… Debra is hunched over, can’t be good for her back - and she DROPS IT! Jalapao wins reward! Taj runs over and congratulates Debra for doing a hell of a job (good show!) and they send Sierra, and she picks Taj. Brenden tells us he hopes that works out for them.

They’ll be back for immunity, and everyone heads back to camp to wait for the raid. Coach is worried that they’ll clean out his food supply, and then they’ll be nothing as a tribe within days…

:19 Commercial!

:22 And we’re back, at Timbira, Where they try to decide what they’ll take - the only thing of value they really have is their food. Erinn says they know they’re after the beans, and they try to figure out what else they can convince them to take.

Tyson says it’s weird to have the two guys coming over, and they try to be nice because you know they’ll be living with them in the future, but in the back of his mind he’s thinking you wanna punch them in the back of the head.

They decide to take a bag a watering can, and they don’t take all their beans, and JT says that he’d hate to end up there with no beans. Nicely done, boys!

They get back to Jalapao and they explained they took the big bag of beans, and Sandy asks why, and she tells us that it’s not the right strategy, they shouldn’t have left any. When asked what kind of beans, Sandy ays “they are fartin beans!” Sydney (Who?!) says that she repeats things at least 3 times and is starting to get on everyone’s nerves.

Sandy tells us that if she could chose why would leave next, it’d be sydney, because she’s using everything she has from head to toe to get to the boys, running around in her boxers and sleeping in her bra and she’s up against the boys 24/7 and playing the game HARD and it’s working, 100%. They might see through it, but they like the package.

:27 Exile island. Taj gets the clue, and heads to open it in private. She gets the next clue - and knows it’s at Treemail. Taj tells us that she got the clue, and she knows where the idol is. Taj finds out Brenden didn’t talk to her, so Taj will fill her in on the plan. Sierra says “I just got goosebumps! It’s amazing!” She’s thilled, and says that she started at the bottom of the food chain, and is now at the top. She’s definitely game for it and Taj is excited about it all working out for them.

Timbira, Day 11. There’s not a lot of work to do, and Debbie wants to have fun, so that they don’t think about missing people at home. Here comes Tyson, in a buff loin cloth. He says he wants to bring it back to civilized society - and everyone is cracking up. Erinn says that she’s having problems connecting, and because of her terrible breakup right before she got to Brazil, she can’t even have a normal conversation. Tyson says that he’s mostly written her off, and he wants to see her freak out in tribal as she gets voted off, he thinks it’d be un.

:31 Commercial!

:34 Immunity Challenge Time! Taj and Sierra return from Exile, and the tribe gather with Mr. Dimples. One tribe meber at a time will race out and receive a puzzle piece and race back, when you get them all, you put hem in place, and rotate to reveal a phrase. Taj sits out -she says she can’t run. Survivors ready? GO! They have to untie the piece, it drops, they grab and race back. JT whips through he knots with Jalapao’s second, and Erinn is right behind him, then brenden makes up some time -both tribes at halfway there are working it and practically tied with Timbira just with a slight advantage. Sydney is struggling with the knots and Timbira takes the lead! Joe an Brenden make up for last time as Tyson heads out with the last piece, followed by JT, Tyson gets his first, JT is right behind him thoguh, as they ace back to start putting the puzzle together.Timbira has a slight lead, and it’s puzzle time!

They ave to make sure that the pieces are in the right order, and then rotate them. There’s lots that are almost right - only one is absolutely right. Coach takes the lead, As they all ry and work it together. It’s gonna be close but TIMBIRA WINS IMMUNITY!

Jalapao is frustrated that it’ll be back 6 on 6 again, and disappointed that they have to go to tribal council again. Awww.

:41 Commercial!

:44 Back at Jalapao after he challenge, and Taj tells us that she wasn’t surprised, nd she knows where the idol is, and will tell steven but right now they need to focus on Tribal Council. Sydney and (someone) talk about being glad someone who’s name rhymes with andy is going home. Meanwhile, the ones in the river are talking about getting rid of Sydney, as she isn’t good in the challenge. Sandy is stronger, and Taj says they don’t need eye candy, they need to win. Sandy tells us that she thinks maybe JT and them will try and get rid of her.

The boys walk off and talk about maybe going ahead and voting off Sydney - while she keeps working the boys, talking about being sneaky and they all joke around a little. Stephen says her good looks is a positive first impression, but they need strong members, and loyal members, so gettin rid of her could make sense.

As they get ready for TC, Sydney says that she thinks it’ll be Sandy, but she doesn’t know, it’s Survivor, we’ll see.

:48 Tribal Council.

Jeff asks Sandy if she’s recovered from the first impression, and she says yeah, she fits in pretty well, and it makes her feel good. JT says she’s kind of the mama and takes care of them and is a hard worker. Does Sandy think about her age, when she’s with a younger good looking group of people and she says yeah, some use their beauty and body she’s seen some flirting, and sydney wearing JTs boxers. Sydney says it’s hot out there! she didn’t have shorts, she had jeans!

JT says that yeah, there’s flirting going on, and Steven says hat the biggest flirting is Sydeny and Joe, and Sydney just nods and says that she’s a flirt. Taj says Sydney is gorgeous, and would get an alliance and that’d be fine with her, and Jeff doesn’t buy it. Taj says she’s fine with or without the attraction. Sydney says convos like this happen a lot, she’s a model, but it doesn’t mean, like, she don’t now. Steven says it could work against her, sure, she could be undervalued. Sandy says that tomorrow there will people upset, depending on what happens, so tomorrow tell the story. Uh. ok.

Time to Vote! No one plays the HII, and the votes are Tallied. They are: Sandy, Sydney, Joe, Sandy, Sandy, - she says “oh boy.” and the 4th person voted out is Sandy, that’s 4, that’s enough.

Jeff says that both tribes are even - brand new game, and they head back to camp.

:54 Commercial!

:55 Next time, on Survivor… The secret cross tribal alliance might not be so secret… and Taj acts out.
