Survivor: Gabon Week 10: Nothing Tastes Better than 500 Dollars
At camp after Tribal Council, it’s obvious which alliance is making the decisions – Kenny and Crystal, who have plotted and executed three consecutive blind sides.
Bob and Sugar go into the jungle. He tells her about Exile and searching for the Hidden Immunity Idol. He admits to making a fake idol.
The treemail hints at the Survivor auction. Each Survivor gets $500. Kenny buys the power to send himself or someone else to Exile and take their money, he chooses Bob. A clue for the next immunity challenge is won by Corinne for $500! Jeff auctions a covered object he says is for the whole team. Randy wins it – it’s enough cookies for everyone. Sugar refuses hers, and says it’s for Matty, but Randy tells her it’s not for her to decide. Randy offers her one again and she takes it but hands it to Matty.
Back at camp Randy’s mad. He, Corinne and Matty pow wow about what to do to out number the other alliance.
Bob’s on Exile and frustrated about not being able to find the hidden immunity idol.
At camp, Matty talks to his original alliance – Sugar, Kenny, Crystal and Suzie about voting out Bob because keeping Randy could be beneficial in the end.
The next day Randy tells Corinne he’s crashing and burning and making everyone miserable so the old Fang tribe votes for him that night. He’s hoping Bob will give him the Hidden Immunity Idol and the person with the second most votes goes home. Randy doesn’t know about the fake idol.
Randy’s plan is put into action. Picking on people and rude comments make Matty finally say, “Oh my god, don’t do this, dude.” And says that “Randy has sealed his fate.” Randy brings the cookie incident up and when Suzie comments he curses at her yelling “Shut up.” Everyone is freaking out and Randy loves it.
At the Immunity challenge – the Survivors race across beams with puzzle pieces, the first three to finish move on. Next, setting up the puzzle blocks on a plank while avoiding trip wires that’ll mess everything up. The blocks have to fall like dominos to raise a flag and win immunity. Corinne’s clue from the auction says she can go immediately to the setting up the puzzle blocks round. Joining her are Matty and Kenny. In the puzzle block round Kenny knocks a trip wire. Matty avoids doing the same. Kenny’s the first to see if his blocks fall properly – they don’t. Next all three try and Corinne’s stops short, Matty’s stops and Kenny wins immunity.
At camp, Sugar convinces Bob that Randy would fall for the fake idol. Bob rationalizes that it does buy him more time on Survivor. Corinne tells Bob that in order to save their alliance he’s got to give the “idol” to Randy. And Bob does, confident in the alliance with Sugar.
Tribal Council – After the vote but before they’re counted Randy plays the hidden immunity idol and Jeff tells him it’s not an actual idol. Corinne and Randy are both surprised. And in a gross display of disrespect Sugar bursts out laughing hysterically. Randy is the next person voted out and the 3rd member of the jury.
Week 11 was a wrap up show.
Week 12 – The Good Things in Life Aren’t Easy
After Tribal Council, Bob scolds Sugar for her obvious laughing fit regarding Randy. Good for Bob. Sugar and Corinne argue about playing the game and talking about people behind their back.
The first challenge has the Nobag tribe divide into two teams to race through the swap and grab puzzle pieces to be arranged and raise a flag. Those who raise the flag compete against each other to complete another puzzle. They win messages from loved ones and a pizza and beer lunch. Before the challenge Jeff shows the Survivors clips from the loved ones messages. Corinne sits out the challenge.
The teams are Crystal, Sugar, Bob and Suzie, Matty and Kenny. Crystal shows her Olympic strength by practically dragging Sugar through the swap. But Suzie, Matty and Kenny take the lead and are at the puzzle first. Bob, Crystal and Sugar finally get to the puzzle and take the win so they head to the sliding puzzle. Quickly, Bob finishes and wins.
At his lunch Bob starts his message and is surprised when wife Peggy is there in person! Bob brings her to camp. He whistles and the rest of the Survivor’s loved ones come in: Kenny’s sister, Crystal’s husband, Matty’s girlfriend, Corinne’s brother and Sugar’s sister. Kenny takes his sister for a walk and explains “Every body loves me and if I make the final three I’ll win this thing.” Sugar’s sister brought some of their father’s ashes to let a little bit of him stay in Africa. Matty tells his girlfriend he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, gets down on one knee and proposes with a necklace he made. She says “yes!”
Treemail – Bob and Corinne go to get it and discuss blindsiding Matty. And Matty, Susie, Crystal, Sugar and Kenny decide its time for Bob to go. But Bob has a plan. The immunity necklace that Marcus and Randy threw into the water was put in Marcus’ pocket, hid at camp and Bob knew where it was. Marcus didn’t have it when voted out so Bob took it. At least, that’s the story Bob’s going to tell the other alliance. Plan “Fake Hidden Immunity Idol Part 2” is set in motion by Bob and Corinne.
They tell Kenny the fake idol story and he considers jumping alliances. They talk about voting out Matty and recruiting Crystal. Leary Kenny talks to Crystal and decide that Kenny will vote Matty but Crystal will still vote Corinne with their original alliance. That way if Corinne doesn’t play the idol (or it turns out to be fake) she goes home and if she does play it then Matty goes home. Kenny says that if this plan works than he’ll be the biggest strategist in Survivor history. Crystal is conflicted thinking this may be the only chance to take Matty out – possibly messing up Kenny’s plan.
Tribal Council – Survivor is defined as knowing when to trust and when to cut your ties. Once the votes are in, Jeff asks for any immunity idols and Corinne sits still, not playing what she knows is fake. The votes are read and Corinne is voted out. Their plan didn’t work. She’s the 12th Survivor out and the 4th member of the Jury. Bob knows his time is up next week.
