Sabatoge at camp:
Jason & Scot are upset that the guys were blindsided by the women. They decide to steal and hide the axe and machete to deprive the rest of the tribe of food. When the women decide they can roast a coconut and cut it open with a saw, Scot douses the fire with 5 gallons of drinking water.
Later in the episode, Tai douses the fire early in the morning, despite having not been in favor of this mode of play at first.
Reward Challenge:
Divide into 2 teams of 4. Each player is attached to a long rope. The ropes are braided together so the players must work together to separate themselves. Once you are completely unbraided, you unclip and race to the final station where you use sandbags to knock blocks off of a ledge. First team to knock all of the blocks completely off the ledge wins Chinese take-out delivered to camp.
Details on order of challenge and who did what:
There was going to be a schoolyard pick, but due to the tribe split talked about when they arrived, Jeff gives them the option to form their own teams if they all agree. However, one person will be left out and gets to pick a team to celebrate with if they win.
Joe immediately agrees to sit out.
Jason, Scot & Tai will be on a team and Jason asks if one of the girls wants to join them in the challenge.
Without much discussion, Julia agrees to play on the guys' team.
Joe chooses to share reward with the girls if they win.
The guys and Julie are unbraided and unclipped first.
Jason starts throwing sandbags first.
There are approximately 50 blocks, all tall cylinders.
Cydney starts throwing for the women.
Scot takes over for Jason.
Debbie takes over for Cydney.
Jason takes over for Scot with just 3 blocks left and 5 for the women.
Jason, Julie, Scot, and Tai win reward.
Immunity Challenge:
Stack a series of blocks on a narrow beam while attempting to avoid trip obstacles. If you hit the obstacle, blocks will likely fall and you'll have to restack. The goal is to use the blocks like dominos so that the final block falls on a gong. The blocks can only be transported from the start to the beam one at a time and you must be completely inside the trip obstacle before placing a block. If a block drops to the groud it must be brought back to the start. More than one block can be touched and repositioned while you are in the obstacle.
Details on order of challenge and who did what:
Tai is the first to drop a block.
Jason loses about 1/3 of the blocks when he trips.
Scot loses more than 1/2 when he trips.
Tai loses most of his blocks next.
Aubry races too fast and drops most of her blocks.
Cydney trips again.
Michele goes for the win first, but as the dominos fall a few blocks near the end fall off sideways, so she has to restart.
Debbie tries for the win next, but only the first 1/3 of her blocks tip correctly.
Scot trips and drops everything again.
Jason starts restacking from the back so his last block retrievals go faster.
Jason tries for the win, but a few blocks fall sideways and he has to restart.
Debbie tries again, but not everything falls.
Julia goes for the win and successfully hits the gong.
Julia wins individual immunity and a 1 in 8 shot at winning Survivor.
Tribal Council lead up:
Some had wanted to vote Julia out. Some wanted to vote out Jason or Tai. But because Julia is safe, the guys are the target. Debbie reveals the full vote split plan to Julia, but Cydney & Aubry don't trust Julia right now, so start considering Debbie as a target.
Tribal Council:
Scot reveals that Tai has a hidden immunity idol.
Jason reveals that he also has a hidden immunity idol.
Tai says he will be playing his idol.
Jason says he and Scot will play rock-paper-scissors after the vote to decide which of them play it.
Multiple quiet conversations start happening.
Michele notes that Tai could give his idol to either Scot or Jason, further complicating things.
Voting commences.
If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and you want to play it, now would be the time to do so.
Tai shakes his head no.
Jason loses rock-paper-scissors. He played rock, Scot had paper. But he then hands the idol to Tai. Tai accepts Jason's idol and places them both in his pocket and sits down.
The votes are 4-3-2 (Debbie, Cydney, Scot).
Jason, Scot, and Tai voted for Cydney.
Debbie and Joe voted for Scot.
The rest of the girls voted for Debbie.
Debbie is voted out and becomes the 3rd member of the jury. #Blindside
