Tony starts a rant the minute they get back to camp. He starts up with the “why me, why me”? He really didn't like getting votes last week. He’s trying to play it off like it’s a big compliment to be tagged as a threat, but he is actually freaking out.

Quote:

Trish- “Tony definitely has some paranoia, has some OCD stuff… he spins a lot. His brain is going all the time. This is a game of patience right now; I hope he doesn't do anything stupid.”

With Tony’s paranoia setting in, he starts to hatch a plan to shift focus to LJ. Tony tells LJ that Woo has an idol to get him thinking about going against Woo. Tony’s next move is to let everyone else know LJ is plotting against them.

It’s a spa day for the winners at the reward challenge this time. You know they are stinky and sore and ready for a shower, massage and fancy food. Teams are randomly selected and split into 3. Orange: LJ, Jefra and Trish. Purple: Kass, Woo, Tasha. Green: Spencer, Tony, Jeremiah. Tony was determined not to let anyone but him get away to chat while under the influence of a reward. He and his fellas won! Tony sees this as a chance to win the favor of these two guys that are on the outs with the rest of the group.

Tony- “You might as well call me the opportunist, because if I see an opportunity, I’m going to jump on it.”

Those that are left at camp discuss Tony’s paranoia and make a plan to defuse it. There is never a flicker of doubt that they will do anything except go with the 6 to the end. At the reward, Tony starts right away with the alternate scenario talk. He doesn't make any promises, but makes it clear that he is willing to make a change if the opportunity presents itself.

Quote:

Tasha-“It is day 25. I’m in a three person alliance against a 6 person alliance. It doesn't take a CPA like me to do that math. I need to convince someone to flip or make a big move.

Tasha invites LJ to a secret rendezvous to discuss a proposition, but he stands her up.  LJ is absolute in his trust of Tony and his alliance of 6.  Tony is hard at work to drag LJ’s name through the mud. Trish isn't buying it, but Woo isn't sure. When it comes down to it, Tony isn't sure what his best play is. Does he betray his alliance and make a big move or have some patience.

Tony- “In life, and in Survivor, you've got to know when to kiss ass and when to kick ass.”

At tribal council the talk is all about making big moves and when to make them. Tony brought his bag of tricks with him to the vote and it worked. He and Woo flipped on the alliance and voted out LJ! #Blindside

Sorry Lynnell, the tribe has spoken.
