A mix-up of tribes is what happened last week.
Outnumbered LJ and Jefra’s odds looked bleak.
But Trish and Tony gave these beauties a gift.
They flipped on their own so they could vote out Cliff.
After tribal Lindsey and Trish exchanged insults.
Lindsey walked off. Probst was called as a result.
She feared she might flip out on Trish due to anguish.
Told Jeff that she’ll quit this game instead of languish.
So Jeff broke the news of what Lindsey had done.
Tony was thrilled: Two for the price of one.
Woo worried that his number might be next,
but focused on this new 5. “Now we can start fresh.”
As they convene for reward, Aparri now sees
that two people are gone. Both tribes look happy.
Sarah’s most overjoyed. Trish can’t stop chuckling.
Spencer’s glad 2 left without him doing anything.
For reward you need 4 points from one-on-one battles.
Two people guarding the statue on their paddles.
Knock your opponents statue down - a point is made.
Winning team sends two members for a camp raid.
With the mismatch in numbers, Alexis and Kass sit.
Spencer and Woo start - two young men who are fit.
Spencer scores first. That long match-up was fun.
Tasha and Trish go next. Trish ties it 1-1.
Next, Sarah’s aggressive and Jefra’s statue tips.
LJ makes Jeremiah fumble, he can’t recover it.
Tony’s warned don’t look in Morgan’s eyes, you’ll get sucked in.
He attacks fast and scores. One more and Solana wins.
Rematch Spencer and Woo. It’s another good fight.
Spencer gets pushed but keeps his statue upright.
Then the martial arts instructor, Woo, struck with haste.
Now a camp raid is what Aparri will face.
Woo and Tony are chosen for the raid.
They know the camp where they formerly played.
They are given a note telling what they could choose.
Pick 2: comfort, tarp/rope, fishing kit, but not food.
They choose comfort and fishing kit. Now for part two.
These two burglars are given an idol clue.
Tony hatches a plan to cause dissention.
Show the clue to 1 person to cause trust suspension.
Jeremiah’s the target, but this clue is one he’s seen.
Points to Solana beach, not here. This is mean.
Tony takes the clue. The evidence is gone.
Jeremiah’s tribe thinks his alibi is a con.
At Solana beach “Shame on you Lindsie” etched in sand.
Tony and Woo return with their haul in hand.
Tony tells everyone what happened over there.
The schemes and the lies all to stir up and scare.
Admits that he’s police, not construction at all.
Now his tribe knows he lies well. Will they be appalled?
To solidify he’s trustworthy he confesses
to lying. LJ ponders that different message.
Even said he toyed with claiming he had a child.
Would’ve sworn on its life, leaving viewers reviled.
This is the final five - Jefra openly stated.
We’ll wait to see if that statement is ill-fated.
Jeremiah’s clue made Alexis unsettled.
She consults with Spencer, not showing much mettle.
It concerns him to see her acting so fake.
She won’t own her smartness. He may put on the brakes.
Jeremiah affirms the clue is a red herring.
Get a clue when you lose? To-good-to-be-true sharing.
Spencer thinks that his story is tough to buy.
It looks like a real clue. His lie doesn’t fly.
The immunity challenge has multiple parts,
so I’ll describe as it progressed from the start.
Tasha and Morgan will sit this one out.
By now the latter won’t surprise you, no doubt.
The tribes build staircases with large wooden poles,
Sort them by height ascending, then place them in holes.
Solana mixed the order, just what they don’t need.
Aparri does better, takes the early lead.
Go through a bamboo maze, some vertically.
To start the next part you will need the whole team.
In this part of the challenge Aparri seems to glide.
By the end of the maze these racing teams are tied.
Jeremiah and Tony must acquire a key,
threading it through a rope maze until it is free.
Then open a lock to release a machete,
cut through wood and rope to get the puzzle ready.
For excited Aparri, Jeremiah pulls ahead.
Tony got stuck on the lock but isn’t yet dead.
Finally each team gets two puzzle solvers.
Get 3 numbers for 6 combo-lock revolvers.
They’ll build up slats of wood to reveal 3 numbers.
The slats are 2 sided, giving chance for blunders.
Spencer and Sarah start before LJ and Woo.
Will it be enough to beat the team that’s down two?
Tony tells his guys to copy their 41.
A legal way to get your team closer to done.
Both teams work towards 29 as the next digits.
Or is it 67? Now Aparri fidgets.
Solana then finishes with 82
and tries that in their lock to see if it’s true.
With 3 numbers entered, lock opens, flag rises.
“Top Five Baby”, Tony repeatedly surmises.
Poor Sarah had an alliance with that man.
Now it looks like she isn’t part of his plan.
All on Aparri agree Tony is wrong.
They still won’t have the numbers. How could they live on?
Alexis thinks they’ll get Jeremiah to flip.
They must blindside him before he sinks their ship.
Spencer will tell her that this action makes sense.
Then brains will do what’s best for them one day hence.
Kass says that the brain tribe just needed a body.
Now they’re in good shape. “We found our zombies.”
Is Alexis or Jeremiah the bigger concern?
That’s up to the former Brain tribe to discern.
At tribal Jeff guesses its 3 Beauty, 3 Brain,
and Sarah in the middle deciding the game.
The Brains are together, and quickly we hear
of the fracturing Beauty, so Brain’s in the clear.
It’s confirmed that Morgan and Sarah aren’t trouble.
But in the past Jeremiah has spoke double.
This vote’s about trust. Either Beauty might switch.
Vote the possible liar or the paranoid snitch.
A wrong decision means 7-11th place.
Nobody wants their spot in this game erased.
From reading the votes the tribe looks unified.
It’s 6-1 Alexis. When she left, she cried.
Our preview shows all 5 Solana in a boat.
A merge with black buffs. But how will all vote?
To determine the fate of this game, stay on guard.
There’s two groups of five. Sarah holds all the cards.
