Survivor: Worlds Apart Episode 06 quick recap:
An abbreviated recap compared to normal. Wrestlemania 31 was my focus this past weekend, so I'm behind.
Reward Challenge: Team races to the top of a large structure, then one-by-one launches weighted bags at 8 targets. First team to hit all 8 targets wins food and a night adventure to watch sea turtles lay eggs. In a surprising outcome, the new, mostly female Nagarote wins. This makes Shirin happy since it gives her a chance to bond with her team to possibly change her trajectory in the game. The food is enjoyed and the turtle adventure was fun.
Immunity Challenge: Memorization game. 6 objects lined up behind a screen. Jeff reveals them. Pairs of people memorize as fast as they can, then drop the curtain before their opponent is ready (ideally). The trick here is that a few people on Escameca have decided it would be wise to throw the challenge to save Kelly and to remove the future threat that is Joe. Rodney and Mike are the masterminds here. In the best of 5, it is 2-2 when Mike must face Kelly. Mike tries to lose, but Kelly gets it wrong too. Mike tells Kelly (quietly) that he's giving it to her, and tries to help her memorize. Kelly gets it wrong again. Round 3 has Jeff reduce it to 5 items. Mike says he will set them up but will switch the bottles. Kelly just has to put the bottles in the opposite positions. She does, and Nagarote wins immunity.
Tribal Council: For Escameca, Mike is now worrying about Rodney and Joaquin becoming good friends. So tonight will likely be Joe, Rodney, or Joaquin. Long story short, Joaquin is voted out 4-3 and Rodney looks perplexed, dumbfounded, etc. Classic blindside, especially since Rodney first brought up the idea of losing the challenge.
Best Moves:
Best #1: Hali is honest with Shirin about why Max was voted out and that Shirin is also in trouble.
Best #2: Shirin takes this information to heart and actually wants to improve her situation, instead of just getting mad.
Best #3: Mike realizes the new threat of Rodney and Joaquin and uses that to pull Sierra back into the group.
Best #4: Dan actually apologizes to Sierra without caveats. Finally.
Worst Moves:
Worst #1: Escameca decides to throw a challenge (or at least Mike and Rodney do).
Worst #2: Joaquin, Tyler, and Joe don't get on the same page and don't effectively court Sierra.
Worst #3: Rodney doesn't realize that he needs to distance himself from Joaquin. Set up an agreement, then keep it on the down-low.
Top 4 Prospects: Last 2 weeks I listed Carolyn, Hali, Tyler, and Joe. Only one revision to the people, and a slight reorder.
1) Carolyn - Nagarote. With the merge coming, she may be in a swing vote group and she still has a hidden immunity idol.
2) Tyler - Escameca. He's tied to Carolyn and I expect them to be swing votes in the next episode.
3) Hali - Nagarote. Showing her wisdom by making good social moves with respect to Shirin.
4) Jenn - Nagarote. With the merge looming, she may wind up in the top group if her No Collar people can sway the swing votes. Plus she has an immunity idol.
Bottom 4 Prospects: Last week I listed Shirin, Kelly, Rodney, and Dan. Joaquin was voted out. Here's my new bottom, factoring in merge implications.
12) Joe - former No Collar and Escameca. He is bound to be a target of one alliance due to his strength.
11) Dan former Blue Collar and Escameca. He's my best guess for being a target on his alliance since Mike was so dumb in that last challenge.
10) Rodney - former Blue Collar and Escameca. I suspect nobody likes him now, but sometimes that is desirable after a merge.
9) Sierra - former Blue Collar and Escameca. Seems like she may be a swing vote, but if she is indecisive then the target may wind up on her.
