Survivor Cagayan week 4 recap poem (3/19/14)

Last week Brawn tried to throw it, but just couldn’t lose.
Brains were back for more tribal council abuse.
Tasha and Kass chose to keep the tribe strong.
They all voted J’Tia like they should have all along.

Spencer hugs Kass and Tasha and that’s when we learn
that not voting him out was a last second turn.
If they had kept J’Tia, they’d be back in 3 days.
Spencer kicks butt in challenges and for that he stays.

    “Your craving the taste of sweet victory.
    At least that is how it’s seeming.
    To be denied this flavor sensation…
    You’ll be dragged away kicking and screaming!!” - Tree Mail at Luzon

Before reward challenge, Jeff says drop your buffs.
This could help a few, but for some might be rough.
You’ll pick purple or orange, but they’re random and covered.
They’ll all reveal at once as new teams are discovered.

New Aparri is made up mostly of Brawn
Amazingly Solana has all 3 old-Luzon.
Sarah is joined by 3 Beauty, 3 Brain.
On Solana only LJ and Jefra remain.

Aparri is Spencer, Tasha, Kass, and Sarah
joined with Alexis, Morgan, and Jeremiah.
Solana is LJ, Jefra, Cliff, and Lindsey
and filling out the group is Woo, Trish, and Tony.

For this challenge, two people try to bring back
an opponent who’s stuck to a pole like a tac.
The first team to bring their target to the finish
scores 1 point where 2 are what’s needed to win it.

The reward: donuts, chocolate chip cookies and coffee
cinnamon rolls, blueberry pastries and brownies.
Everyone’s excited about news of this feast
of items made from sugar and flour and yeast.

Round 1 Trish and Jefra try to detach Tasha
while Lindsey is fending off Morgan and Sarah.
Tasha does fantastic at staying attached.
Aparri scores first in this best of 3 match.

Round 2 pits Alexis vs. LJ and Trish
Spencer/Jeremiah try to remove Cliff.
Cliff’s going nowhere, the attempt is denied.
Alexis cracks quickly and with that the score’s tied.

Round 3 will showcase a battle of the strongest.
Winner likely determined by who holds the longest.
Sarah tries to hold off Tony and Lindsey.
and a Spencer/Jeremiah versus Cliff repeat.

This time they manage to take Cliff off the post
but Sarah comes off faster, so she might be toast.
She puts up a big fight, but Cliff’s just too heavy.
Dragging him through the sand is like pulling a Chevy.

And with that Solana wins, and just like before
the old Brain tribe has lost. New battle. Same war.
From moms to hot girls, Spencer liked the upgrade
but all still goes wrong for Brains somehow someway.

At Solana, LJ and Jefra are outnumbered.
They just hope the Brawn 5 will do something dumber.
Trish and LJ have a Massachusetts connection
Could this start to change this new tribe’s complexion?

Sarah decides she’ll feel out the competition.
Not sure who she can trust, it’s a scary position.
So she tells that Trish gave up idol for rice,
trying to learn if her new team’s naughty or nice.

The Brains say Garrett said there was no decision.
Now Morgan must confront her story revision.
Says she didn’t find the idol. Alexis is shocked.
Morgan hopes to start fresh but has her trust been docked?

With that big red flag Alexis will never ally,
jumps ship immediately and talks with Brain tribe.
She was closest to Jefra. Would like to be their fourth.
Will this be it, or will Beauty fracture more?

A gossipy tribe, talking smack, rumor spreading.
Lack of social skills is the vibe Spencer’s getting.
Jeremiah tells Brains that Morgan might backstab him.
Claims he’s on the outside, not hitched to a wagon.

Tasha first thought that with Beauty they’d battle.
But thanks to dissention it’s Brains in the saddle.
Things have a way of not staying the same.
Thanks to this switch-up, Brains’ back in this game!

At new Solana Trish and Jefra chat.
Trish reveals she and Lindsey are having a spat.
Jefra hopes this is an opening crack.
To help her and LJ avoid the numbers attack.

For immunity, tribes use a log to smash walls,
solve a table maze, hit a gong, win it all.
Each team just needs six. Trish will sit and pray.
Rock beats scissors, Morgan sits, Alexis plays.

Tony and LJ kick the wall after each ram,
but the kicks don’t help much even from a strong man.
Jeff agrees you can kick if you’re holding the log
But that strategy could make you tired as a dog.

Solana through wall 1 first. Aparri makes a change.
Spencer and Jeremiah move to front for a higher strike range.
Aparri gets through and starts making up ground
on the 2nd and last wall. Could victory be found?

Aparri gets through first, it’s an edge for a lead.
Now onto the puzzle - must solve it with speed.
Both make the same blunders, the race is real tight.
In this “custom made for brawn” challenge, it’s a fight!

With one final push Aparri hits the gong
just edging Solana, who wonder what went wrong.
Old brawn has the numbers, and LJ’s a threat
so Tony declares voting for him a safe bet.

For voting, LJ hopes they’ll consider challenges.
Cliff doesn’t like the bond between LJ and Trish;
Says playing with feelings is when foolish things happen.
He’ll stick with the numbers so his game won’t be dampened.

Woo brags that he’s as good as LJ on land
and 10 times better in the water and sand.
Brawn has good position so Woo thinks it’s best
to get rid of LJ - not turn on the rest.

But Lindsey is worried Trish might screw them and flip
She guarantees it. A prophetic blip?
We then see Trish telling LJ that he’s in.
She wants to make moves here to help her to win.

LJ is shocked, thinks it doesn’t make sense.
Their new guests are up 5 to 2, why would Trish jump the fence?
They just need to convince Tony he should waiver;
To vote for one of their own like a traitor.

Trish goes to tell Tony that Cliff is their victim,
then ‘ding-a-ling’ Lindsey can go next and join him.
He doesn’t agree, Trish is on a crazy bus.
LJ and Jefra are smart, the joke might be on us.

Trish says after a merge Cliff would be way too strong
He’d win every immunity and never say ‘so-long’.
Tony doesn’t like Cliff, he’s too influential.
But trusting LJ? A decision substantial.

Cliff asks Tony what they were talking about.
Tony lies as always to assuage any doubt.
Cliff says they need stability, she can do what she wants.
Vote still would be 4-3, her decision might haunt.

At tribal, LJ’s uncomfortable with 5 new tribe-mates.
They’ll come into “our house” then send us on our way.
Cliff says this is simple: put emotions to the side.
Woo agrees one might flip, but the numbers don’t lie.

Trish affirms this vote is a test of loyalty for Brawn.
But if numbers don’t work for you, make new arrangements and move on.
With all the discussion, Jefra’s glad to hear this,
says the one on the bottom can’t advance without risk.

Lindsey reminds everyone it’s not just 2 vs. 5.
In the long term there’s 7 on the other tribe.
Tony says tonight the game’s direction shifts.
Move forward, or step backwards causing a rift.

As the voting begins, some stick to Beauty purge.
Woo votes LJ so he won’t make the merge.
Tony’s vote is not shown. He says “Nothing personal”
Is it LJ or Cliff? It’s “just strategical.”

A standard post vote question, will an idol be played?
They pan over to LJ, in his pocket it stayed.
After revealing 6 votes it is tied 3-3.
Trish flipped as expected. What about Tony?

The 5th person voted out of Survivor Cagayan…
It’s Cliff and his 3 wonder what has gone on.
What a blindside. Lindsey and Woo look shocked.
Even Jefra’s surprised as she mouths out “It worked”.

Next week we see Solana, just returning to camp.
Lindsey and Trish argue. Lindsey’s spirits damp.
Lindsey “cannot be around her”, thinks Trish is a bully.
Jeff says “What’s going on?” Might Lindsey quit fully?
