Welcome back to the second half of the double episode. After Tribal Council, everyone is kidding Jeremy about being sneaky in having/playing an idol, but they are being lighthearted about it…Jeremy goes off talking to Fish, and then Spencer. At the end of the conversation, Spencer decides he has no need for the bridge Jeremy is trying to sell…and we begin Episode 11.
BACK AT CAMP
Everyone loves the new shelter and there is even room to sit around the fire under the newly constructed cover. A lot of chatting going on now that they are warm and dry and the social game can once again resume…
REWARD CHALLENGE
This is the folklore challenge and we haven’t seen this in a lot of seasons, and even more interesting…it is played at night, in the forest, only lit by torches. Jeff tells a story about the island history and inhabitants. With what little portions of their brain that remain after inclement weather, no food and very little sleep…the remaining members of the tribe try and remember all the details, so when they run into the forest and see a challenge question, they will know which pot to take their symbol from…the one representing the correct answer to the question…so they can run back and hang their little symbol on the little tree that will ultimately hold 5 symbols to win reward. Hidden in one of the pots wrapped up in the symbol will be an idol clue.
Wanna know what they are playing for? A trip to another island, lots of meat protein to eat, and locals performing circus acts…
Blah blah blah and Fishback wins about 2 seconds ahead of Spencer, but here’s the rub…he gets to choose someone to go with him…he picks TASHA (say what???? Not Jeremy who saved your scrawny a$$ at tribal so you are even around to play this challenge?????) BAD CHOICE…then he finds he can invite one more person and chooses Jeremy…sorry dude, sloppy seconds is all you get! Winning the food rewards where people are chosen are not easy situations to handle…almost better if you don’t win to avoid hurt feelings.
KW finds idol clue on game piece during reward challenge
KW back at camp reads her idol clue only to find out it is right under where she was sitting tied to the bottom of the shelter…yet everyone is around and she knows she needs to let everyone wander away before she can grab it…looks like when they built the new section of the shelter, and Jeremy had used his at Tribal, the construction guys hid another one…
Finally while the winners were on their reward retreat, others went fishing and some went crabbing, and Abi even wandered away for a few minutes…just enough time for KW to crawl under the bottom of the shelter and grab the idol…SO…Jeremy 1 left, and KW has her second one…and the game moves forward…
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
One of the toughest challenges baring the endurance ones…having to stack blocks with their feet and then grab this slim flag and place it in a hole in the center…let’s face it…feet aren’t dexterous. ..hands are because we have opposable thumbs…feet…not so much…besides they are all calloused and filthy, and it just isn’t right…so I was glad when this challenge was over because it was painstakingly uncomfortable to watch.
RUT RO…Joe did NOT win immunity and for the first time all season, is NOT safe from the vote tonight.
Spencer WON by a half a second or something like that.
TRIBAL COUNCIL ~ LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS
Not only did Fish tell the people on his reward challenge trip about what the advantage really was, but he even told one person back at camp, in close proximity to the time they all left to go to tribal council…not a good move on his part…he told Spencer!
More talk about voting blocks (it was like Ciera was still there, LOL), trust, taking people on challenges, and maybe even a conversation about the Dalai Lama and Santa Claus, not sure, I zoned out a bit during all this…
Getting time to vote, and Fish giddily announces to Jeff that he is going to use his advantage…he has selected JOE to not be able to vote and then announces that he would vote AS Joe, voting FOR Joe… for his extra vote for the evening… The people he hadn’t told about the advantage looked shocked, and the people he did tell hopefully saw the handwriting on the wall…they are saying they are going to split the vote between Abi and Joe…but now…ABI IS ON THE WARPATH…NOT LISTENING…GETTING EVERYONE UPSET ABOUT HOW SHE IS GOING TO VOTE…
Then the dummy FISH while playing his advantage, split his own vote between ABI and JOE…Say What?????
TIME TO VOTE
ABI 3
JOE 2
FISH 4
TTHS – Fishbach voted out and is the 5th member of the jury
NEXT WEEK – MEDICAL EMERGENCY…will there be a medical evacuation from the game for someone?
Ciao for now…thanks for reading

PONDEROSA ~ FISHBACH
Reality Bytes! 
Liked the challenge with the history of Cambodia (the story) and the callenge was a pop quiz, but running in the dark with torches. 🔥 Nice touch. I could answer 100%, but not after being rained on and cold all night and not eating!! I agree, the moving blocks with feet was entirely painstaking and I thought only men would succeed in such a challenge.
LOL at them saying “voting blocks” as if Ciera is still there. LOL! I can not to save my soul understand why you would split a voting block advantage – Fish and his two votes. [eye roll]. Fish and Kass’,exchange at Ponderosa is nice….who would have ever thought Kass would be the welcoming committee?!
I am so jazzed Fish is gone – why did it take so long?! Thanks, RB!
No one in their right mind would split a ‘voting block’ vote…just goes to show you the toll the elements take on these people. An aliamce vote is one for all and all for one.
I am glad Fish thinks he changed the course of Survivor forever by being such a threat…LOL HE wasn’t the threat…the UNKNOWN advantage was the threat. A human’s biggest fear is ‘fear of the unknown’. Fish is a threat to himself! He might as well have had Joe vote for him…LOL. He was clueless…bet he even thinks the old Folgers commercial says “the best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup!”
Anyhow…I am glad he is gone…ABI needs to go next…and then Kimmi. Did you see how scared she was when she got a second vote against her? Talk about a floater in this game! Thanks for reading and thoroughly enjoy your comments!
