Survivor Blood v. Water - episode 4 thread - no spoilers for future episodes please
I LOVED last night's episode. I truly think that was what MB had in mind for tribal counsel when it was set up. When a person truly thinks they are goign home and that they are the last man in the alliance, they can turn it around openly.
The episode started with John wakign up Candice and Marissa at RI. John was happy that he would get to spend time with Candice, but she told him how it was not a good thing. Only one of them can get back in the game. John is not playing to win this game. He is out for the adventure. Candace clearly wants to win.
Back at newbie camp, Brad goes off too much about how important it is to keep the tribe members around who had a loved one, since the couples could then team up later on. It makes some of the others feel uncomfortable. He is not a smart player. I love how Candice gives Brad the finger on her way in. Monica defended her husband a bit, but in the end it was just Brad being a jerk again. It will come back to haunt him.
The duel was a good one. It was a ladder race to move a key on a rope through the rungs of a ladder bridge and then unlock a bag of puzzle pieces. John easily won the duel. Marissa and Candice went back and forth, but Candice won, sending Marissa home. I feel bad since she lost because Culpepper doomed his tribe, but she was fun to get to know. Gervase was classy telling her he was impressed with his niece. John gave the clue to Monica after Candace told him. Monica put it in the fire after Brad told her to do it.
Then we got to see a little of Honeymoon Island with John and Candice enjoying alone time. I hope they really got some "alone time" but since Survivor is PG, nothing was shown on the air.
We learned that Tyson and Gervase are a team now. They go off to drink coconuts and tell teh others crabs are eating them. This could be a good team as both are likable and strong.
The IC was another example of puzzle dominance by the "moms" Tina and Kat sat out, even though tysen has the bum arm. They row out a boat, dive down to release huge blocks, then go in to do the puzzel. Newbies took an early lead, but the boxes spilled out of the boat and the returnees got to the beach first. It was close though. Right up until the puzzel and mom kicked Ciera's butt again.
So the newbies have to go to tribal again. Brad, in a dumb move, let the boys go off to talk and he stayed with the girls. He posed the idea of voting Caleb out to Katie and Ciera. Caleb, Hayden, and Vytas decided to vote Ciera out. He told them he had the girls convinced they were all voting Caleb out. Caleb was not sure about that plan. Caleb somehow found out about Brad campaigning against him. Then it happened. Caleb told the girls he was writing Brad’s name down. Everyone was surprised. They voted and it was a tie between Brad and Ciera. They voted again and Hayden went back and forth for awhile but ultimately was the only one to stay with Brad. Vytas flipped and it was 3-1, bye bye Brad.
Brad was just not a great player. He used bully tactics and divided the tribe by sex, which is always a mistake. He should have taken another approach. Oh well, he is on RI with the lovebirds. see you all next week.
