Tony makes a huge move at last week’s tribal council and it only causes a tiny stir back at camp. People basically expect it from him now. He is somehow right back in the fold with his alliance even after blindsiding one of their own and misleading most of them. Spencer is baffled, thinking he was in a new position in the game to realize he’s right back where he was, all it bought him was 3 days.

Quote:

Spencer- “Tony likes big moves and I’m not going to complain about it because it benefited me, I can’t always count on him…The sooner we make a move against Tony the better.”

Tony- “We go to the water well to talk strategy. I start working on some blue prints to make a nice little shack 5 feet from the water well. That’s where I’ll be the most patient, when I’m sitting in my spy shack.”

Before you know it Tony is lurking in the bushes listening to Trish and Jefra talking about him. Jefra is concerned Tony is a dirty rotten liar and Trish is so far up Tony’s butt that she thinks he is an Academy Award winning actor. Tony only trusts those that trust him so I’m sure Jefra is next on the hit list.

Reward is for a killer BBQ at some amazing caves. The tribe is split into two, Tash, Jefra, Spencer, Jeremiah are purple. Tony, Woo, Trish, Kass are Orange. Teams paddle around giant boats to collect extra paddles then head back to shore for a puzzle. Neither team have a clue what the words are supposed to say so they are looking at each other’s. Finally, Orange starts on a path that is close, but not right, then it triggers the right answer in the Purple team and they win. Tash, Jefra, Spencer and Jeremiah are off to reward and that has Tony very worried.

Back at camp with the losers Kass is sick of losing. Kass really wants to stick it out with Tony’s group. Tony wants to talk strategy and Trish wants to collect food. So Tony goes idol hunting. Woo goes to help Trish gather food from the trees.

Quote:

Tony- “Hidden near camp is an idol with special powers, that’s all I know about it. Let me find that idol, I’ll be super Tony, Tony in trouble no more.”

Woo- “Shaking, shaking, shaking, boom and I get at least 7 monster papayas. From there I was trying to pull a Sylvester Stallone Cliffhanger, swing my left hand, and snap and boom. Oh, my butt! I’d break my ass for papayas any day!”

At reward the food is flowing and so is the strategy talk. Jefra really doubts her place with Tony’s group. Before they can really get too far with the discussion the letters from home show up. Jefra’s letter from Mom is exactly what she needs to convince her to jump ship and shake on a final four deal with Spencer and his group.

The immunity challenge is balance again. They have to balance on a beam and balance a ball on a platform at the same time. The wind is gusty and half the field is out half way through the first round. 1 minute into the second round the only three left are 3 that have had immunity already, Tash, Spencer and Woo. In the last round we are again down to Tash and Spencer and again Tasha pulls it out.

When they get back from the challenge Tony is running in the woods again. He is on a mission to find that special idol. He can feel he is in danger. Tony, of course, finds the special idol. The reason it is so special is that only the one that finds it can use it and it can be played after the votes are read. Tony is so jacked up after finding it he can barely stand it.

In the meantime Jefra is spilling her guts to Kass and Trish. She tells them she can’t trust Tony. Trish and Kass are trying pretty hard to convince Jefra that you don’t vote out the one that is annoying you. They called him out on his playing both sides and he “promised” to stop his naughty ways. Good luck with that! Jefra goes right back to camp to tell Jeremiah that she is going back on her word to them and back to her Tony alliance.

At tribal council Jeff is asking all the right questions to stir the pot and put Tony on the spot. Jeff  didn’t ask the question that Spencer needed the most. Spencer and Tony both pull out idols. Spencer isn’t sure if he should use it on himself or on Jeremiah. He decides wrong. Spencer plays the idol for himself, but the votes are all for Jeremiah. Tony says his idol is fake and puts it away. Woo is stressed seeing that the other votes were for him, but doesn’t matter because Jeremiah is going to the jury. Sorry Debbie, the tribe has spoken.
