Survivor One World - April 25, 2012

The Survivors return to camp on night 27. Leif has joined the jury, eight are left and Troy is feeling very alone. Even though the women are picking off the men one by one, Tarzan still feels his best hope is to win immunity or to side with the girls. Since the immunity thing isn't likely to happen...well lets just say that is one really hairy girl. Morning comes with tree mail. This one announces a challenge that is not physical but where skills of perception will help Survivors "get away". When they enter the challenge area they find an effigy of each Survivor, suspended by three ropes, over a fire. Survivors must answer a series of questions about their tribe-mates. The answers are all compiled by Dimples. Individual answers must agree with the majority of the tribe to score a point. Each correct answer wins the right to chop one rope. Once all three ropes supporting a players effigy have been cut they are out. The answers to the various questions are not surprising to us, but definitely catch some of the players off guard. Christina is voted as the one who least deserves to be in the game. Kim is voted as the one everyone would trust with their life as well as the one most would want to be stranded with on a deserted island. Kat is voted to be the one most in need of a wake-up call in life. Troy is voted the biggest poser. Sabrina is voted as the one who does the least for the tribe. Most tellingly, Troy is voted as the one most would never want to see again. One by one the effigies fall in the fire. Who chops whose rope is a clear indicator of where allegiances lie. In the end Kim wins reward. To further inflame hurt feelings, she has to choose two people to go with her. She chooses Chelsea and Alicia, leaving Kat devastated. Troy is quick to jump in and pronounce the trio as the final three. Kim tries to put the game behind as she, Chelsea and Alicia fly in a helicopter to a remote beach where they lay out a picnic lunch. But Kim is scared. Winning the challenge was a disaster for her. She has been outed as the one everyone likes and trusts. Not picking Kat was her first non-strategic move and she feels it may come back to bite her. Back at camp Troy is busy sowing seeds of unease with Kat, Sabrina and Christina. He works particularly hard on Kat who becomes quite upset when Troy tells her she isn't in the final three and that she is a follower. Sabrina follows Kat and tries to soothe her. Rejoining the group, Sabrina is interested to see where the weak links are. She asks Troy what his master plan is, and suggests that all they have to do is get two of the women to turn. Christina takes the bait and is ready to throw her lot in with Troy. Privately Sabrina tells us she has no intention of reneging on her promise to the other women, but Christina has just become even more of a liability. When Kim returns to camp an angry Kat can't even bring herself to talk to her. Kim take Kat aside and begs her to look at the bigger picture. Kat is afraid she will go down being seen as a weak player and the thought obviously scares her to death. Day 29 brings rain and a pig. The sow wanders into camp. Pandemonium ensues. Ropes are flung in a vain attempt to lasso the pig, who, though adept at escaping the rope, seems fairly unconcerned by all the mayhem. In the end Kim pronounces that she couldn't kill and eat the pig anyway and that they should keep it as a pet. Since they never actually are able to catch or restrain the pig, it appears the pig will decide whether to stay or go. We see it laying in the shade in a later shot, so it seems likely that pig has decided life in Survivorland is way more exciting than whatever farm boredom she has escaped. The immunity challenge involves slathering oil on Survivor bodies and sliding along a slippery surface to retrieve a ring. The ring then has to be thrown onto a peg. The first four to do this move on to round two, the same contest but with two rings. Chelsea, Kat, Tarzan and Kim move on to the second round and Chelsea and Kim battle it out in the third round. Kim is the ultimate winner but the big news is that Troy was ousted in the first round. He is mad. He pouts. He turns his back. Back at camp he admits he is disappointed but will never say die. Kim has a plan to split the votes with two people voting for Christina. The thought is that, if Troy really did find another immunity idol in the jungle, they will still be able to get rid of Christina. Sabrina explains the situation to Christina as a courtesy, but Christina does not seem to get the concept that, if Troy has an idol, she will be gone. Troy, not surprisingly, approaches Christina and suggests that the two of them should vote for Chelsea, just to mix things up. Christina uses the opportunity to tell Troy that she will be receiving some of the votes. Hmmmm says Troy. Now here is information I can use. For her part, Kim is scared. She knows Troy is playing hard, that Kat is angry and Christina wishy-washy. She is savvy enough to know that things could turn quickly. But when the votes are tabulated at Tribal Council Troy is the one heading over to the jury. With Troy goes Jeff from the pool. No one voted for Troy to win overall so Jeff is the only one crying in his beer this evening. There are seven Survivors left - Tarzan, Sabrina, Kat, Alicia, Chelsea, Kim and Christina. Will the women stick together and get rid of Tarzan? Or will they finally put Christina out of her misery? Or will an angry Kat make a move to upset the proverbial applecart. Stay tuned. Until next week... Outwit, Outplay Outlast Pat (aka Kat what do you mean I'm a follower not a leader Edorsson)
