Survivor, Ep. 26.11

It's 8:00, so here we go! What kind of chaos and mayhem is going to take place tonight! I'm almost afraid to watch...I'm worried for my Three Amigos! Good luck Malcolm, Reynold and Eddie!

A Tribe In Shambles
The tribe is falling apart! Brenda's crying (and in an opposite role, Dawn is the one doing the consoling), Cochran is exhausted, everyone's hungry. Everything Stealth knew was rocked to the core. They thought they had control and had things figured out, but the Three Amigos are still there. They have to figure out where to go from here without their cuckoo leader. Erik said he is now thinking of when might be the right time to vote with the Amigos or whether he should stick with Stealth (although none of them want to refer to themselves as that).

Reward: Food Auction
Everyone is so excited--they are all so hungry. I sure hope that Malcolm can get some food so he has some energy for the Immunity Challenge. But, his thought is that there quite possibly is going to be an advantage in the Immunity Challenge. He's always thinking. Or not...

1. Malcolm bids $20 on the first thing without even seeing it, and it's beer and nuts. Great, beer is the last thing he needs (although he'll tell you it's what he needed most).

2. Blind item goes to Reynold for $180...but he could trade. He sticks with it and got 1 slice of pizza. He could have had the whole pizza or a rotten coconut. Stupid Sherri bids $500 (all she had) for the entire pizza.

3. Dawn bids $500 on a whole roasted chicken and she's out.

4. Next is a piece of information...Malcolm bids $480 and no one else bids, so it's his. He has 60 seconds to read where the hidden immunity idol will be found. Good job Malcolm!

5. Hidden item: Andrea gets it for $280 and she gets a meal or she can trade for rice and beans for the whole tribe (which they desperately need). She chooses the food for the tribe.

6. Help in Immunity: Cochran gets it.

7. Brenda bids $300 on a hidden item and it's PIG BRAIN! Yuck! She actually takes a bite and the rest back to her seat. She said she just remembered she doesn't eat pork. She must be hungry!

8. They all get a chance to buy a letter from a loved one for $20, which means Sherri, Dawn and Malcolm don't have a chance to read a letter.

9. Hidden item: $200 to Eddie for a humungous bowl of peanut butter to be shared with the entire tribe. They have 60 seconds.

Being Sneaky
Reynold talks with Sherri to see if she would consider joining them. She says yes, but can she be trusted? Erik is another one they want to swap over to their "dark side". They want to target Cochran because he's a strong player and without him, they should crumble.

Malcolm goes out in the dark to look for the idol. Fingers crossed for you Malcolm! Uh oh...in the morning, Cochran and Andrea catch him looking for the idol, so of course they decide to just linger around. Of course they aren't going to leave him alone. Oh my gosh...they are still there just sitting! He's waiting for her to leave, she's waiting for him to leave. You know, she could start looking herself, instead of just watching him.

Immunity Challenge
This challenge is similar to one last season. They have to hold a rope with one hand. At regular intervals, they have to move their hand down a notch which makes it harder to hold. They start off with weight at 1/3 their body weight from when they started.

Cochran's advantage in the challenge is that he can move his hand up 2 notches at any point. This will not be of much help to him I'm afraid.

Cochran uses his advantage after the first switch. He should be out in no time at that rate.

Brenda is out first, followed by Erik.

Last round, they have no knot to hold onto, just rope. That's gotta burn.

Sherri is out third.
Malcolm is out fourth. Noooooo!
Dawn is out fifth.
Reynold is out sixth

It's down to Cochran and Eddie. Cochran has a 2 knot advantage over Eddie...oh boy. Hold on Eddie!

Oh no! Cochran wins immunity! That's 2 for him now! Holy crap! He had an advantage, but still...it's Cochran! I NEVER imagined he'd be able to hang on that long. Good for him I guess, but really bad for the Three Amigos.

Now What?
Cochran was going to be the target for the Three Amigos, but that's out the window.

Malcolm can't look for the idol. He decides that he needs to make them believe that they are playing an idol. He thinks they would split their vote. If they have Sherri as a 4th vote, that would be enough. Malcolm lies to Sherri and says he has the idol. He says their target will be Andrea.

Reynold talks to Erik, and he seems to be on board. But Erik's a flipper so nothing is guaranteed.  Erik himself said that he may not know which side is going to vote with until they go to Tribal. Dawn lays down a major guilt trip on Erik saying that she is putting all her hope in him.

Cochran wants to do a straight vote and not split.

Sherri thinks she's in control of the entire game. Really Sherri?

Tribal Council
My heart is already pounding and my hands are shaking. Is there any possible way that the Three Amigos will all make it out of this alive? I sure hope so, but it looks very bleak.

Reynold opens his mouth and admits that he's not so sure that the Stealth 6 are a tight 6 any more. No Reynold! You don't want them to suspicion that anyone has jumped ship!

The Vote:
Reynold-3
Malcolm-3
Andrea-3

3-way tie...REVOTE!
I guarantee every single vote is going to be for Malcolm (with the exception of Eddie). There is no way that they are going to let him get away. No hidden immunity surprises, they have him in their cross-hairs and they are going to take him down.

5 votes shown for Malcolm, and that's it...they are now down to 2 Amigos :(

...wait...Eddie voted for Malcolm???? Why??? It's not like it mattered, but what was the point?
