Survivor One World - May 9/12

Six survivors are left. Kat has joined the jury. Tarzan is the last man standing. He has a "subplot" that he believes will take him to the final four with Kim, Alicia and Christina. He tells Kim that if he gets to the final four he thinks he can then convince the jury to vote for Kim. He tells Alicia that he thinks he can convince the jury to vote for Alicia. Convince the jury?! Hell. No one can even understand what the man says! The next day, despite a dwindling supply of rice, the scheming continues. Chelsea, seeing a clear 3 on 3 split, tries to swing Christina over to side with her and Kim. She tells Christina that Tarzan can't go to the final three because all the men will vote for him. Christina promptly goes to Kim and Alicia and tells them about her conversation with Chelsea. If Alicia needed any more convincing to get rid of Chelsea, she now has it. Kim also knows that Chelsea isn't a good choice to take to the final three but tells us that the day she has to vote out Chelsea will be a sad day for her. The reward challenge involves releasing three discs from the top of posts by spinning around. Dizzy competitors must then stagger over to a puzzle table with each of their discs, put them together and turn them in such a way that three numbers are revealed. These three numbers, put in the right order will open a box and release a flag to signify the winner. The reward is an overnight trip on a yacht, complete with showers, clean clothes, cocktails and a three course meal. Chelsea wins the challenge and gets to select two others to go with her. Trying to learn from Kat's mistake, she choses Sabrina on the basis that Sabrina has not had much food and has not been involved in any rewards. For her second choice though, she goes with her buddy Kim. While on board the yacht, the three women bond even further. Kim and Chelsea proclaim their girlie love for each other. Back at camp Tarzan is stirring the pot. He tries to turn Alicia and Christina against Kim. Alicia is angry that Chelsea chose Kim when she was all about "fairness". After all, Kim has participated in more than her share of rewards. She feels the next vote must be for Chelsea but in order to accomplish that, they will have to force Kim to stick by her word and vote with Tarzan, Alicia and Christina. As this is going on, Tarzan is trying to position himself as number three amongst the women. Alicia believes this is a good idea but it all hinges on whether Kim still wants to get rid of Chelsea when she gets back from the reward challenge. On Day 36 a crusty Tarzan insists on cooking rice "his way" which seems to involve using someone's dirty buff. While Tarzan is busy grossing out the women, Alicia tells Kim that Tarzan was talking smack about her. The two compare notes and, as the story unfolds, they learn that Tarzan promised both that he would try to convince the jury to vote in their favour. They also learn he made some similar promises to Christina. So Tarzan moves back up the the top of the hit list, with Chelsea holding down the number two spot. Meanwhile Alicia tells us that she is the most powerful player in the game and that she will remain the most powerful. Sure. For the reward challenge, Survivors must take giant fish hook, hook three of them together and use that chain of hooks to hook a bag of puzzle pieces. They must collect three bags, then assemble a puzzle...a three dimensional fish skeleton. They must do all of this with one hand tied behind their back. Alicia narrowly wins this challenge over Kim. After the challenge Kim struggles to keep Chelsea in the game. Her efforts are made easier by the fact that Tarzan continues in his odd ways. He calls Alicia a bitch for winning the challenge (albeit with a smile on his face). Not only does Tarzan use a pair of Kat's forgotten and dirty underwear as a headband (Kat learns this at Tribal Council and her expression was well worth the price of admission) but he also wears her tank top to Tribal Council. So Tarzan seals his own fate and when Dimples tabulates the votes it is he, along with pool member Marie, who is heading over to the jury. All the men are now gone. Kim seems to be wielding the power, while Alicia believes she is wielding the power. Christine is no longer a target because she is safe to take to the final three. Chelsea and Sabrina are both too smart (and therefore too dangerous) to take to the final three. Will Chelsea and Sabrina be picked off next or will they make a move to overthrow Kim? Sunday May 11 (this coming Sunday) is the two hour season finale. Cheryl/Roberta (Christina) , Mitzie (Sabrina) , Debbie (Chelsea), Donna (Kim) and Lorelee (Alicia) are still in contention from our pool. Watch the finale to see which of these lovely ladies wins the grand prize. Until Sunday, Outwit, Outplay, Outlast Pat (aka Kat he wore my what?! Edorsson)
