Survivor, Ep. 26.9

At Camp
Reynold has decided that he's ready to play the game. How nice...it's about time.

Oh boy...Sherri has now earned the name Tenacity. "Welcome to the organization." Sherri: "Phillip is my Shamar on this tribe."

Reward Challenge
2 teams of 5--Sherri wasn't picked, so she sits out. They have to throw a ball into a net with a member of the other tribe guarding it.

Not a lot going on, the scores were pretty much back and forth. But then...Cochran scores on Malcolm!

Purple wins: Cochran, Reynold, Michael, Erik, Eddie

Tribal Shifting
While left behind from the reward, Malcolm talks to Sherri and Dawn because they are on the bottom. The Favorites think they have 8 (7 Favorites plus Sherri).  Malcolm wants to pull in Dawn and Sherri to go with him, Reynold, Eddie to have 5. Sherri spills the beans to Andrea. Oh no! And then they tell Phillip, so of course now he wants to get him out because he's turned on the alliance and is trying to take control.

Andrea and Eddie are "Island Dating". Oh my, it will be the end of him, I think. I think she likes him more than he likes her. He did lie to her about knowing anything about an idol. At least he did something right.

Immunity Challenge
This challenge is taking things to a whole new level! They are stuck in cages that are filling with water. Whoever lasts the longest wins.

As it starts coming up to their ears and faces...that has to be so scary! Phillip is out 1st!

Sherri, then Erik, then Dawn, then Malcolm. Michael was shaking so bad before he popped out. Next was Eddie, and then Cochran and Reynold. It came down to Brenda and Andrea. Oh my gosh, I thought Andrea was out...she went under and then came back up once, but finally she left and Brenda won. Eddie had to go in and get her to tell her she won. That was incredible.

Final Maneuvers
Malcolm is IN TROUBLE! I can't believe Dawn. I really thought she would be someone Malcolm could trust...apparently not. Malcolm tells Reynold to show Dawn her idol, because she said she would vote with him.

Reynold: "who are we voting for?" Malcolm: "Andrea". Reynold: "Yes!" haha

Reynold tells Dawn not to screw him. He said that if he thought he couldn't trust her, he would use it on himself tonight. She did NOT like that tactic.

Reynold warns Eddie that he could fall into a trap with Andrea. He's right. Eddie tries to get it out of her who they are voting for, and she won't tell him. She just tries to tell him that it's not him. Then he gets caught in a lie about the idol. Oh no, and now he says that her name has been tossed around. That's great, way to run your mouth Eddie. So, since she's in danger, Andrea decides to abandon the plan to go after Malcolm and go for Michael instead! haha! Wow, wouldn't that be something! Dawn stresses to her that they have to go after Malcolm because she is sure that Malcolm does not have an idol. I don't know who Dawn and Andrea think they are making all the moves...what about their leader Phillip?

Tribal Council
Phillip begins discussing Stealth-R-Us and everyone cringes. He even spills the beans about Sherri joining the organization. What a great special agent...talking about the entire alliance. It's like Fight Club. First rule of Fight Club is that you don't talk about Fight Club.

The Vote
Malcolm votes for Reynold...what??? He says something about a throw away vote?

Before the votes are read, Reynold stands up to use his idol. Malcolm pleads to Reynold and says that everyone voted for him, and that he should use the idol on him. And HE DOES!!!!!!!!! Wow...don't believe what I just saw!

Andrea-3
Reynold-1
Michael-6

Holy crap! I can't believe what just happened. Poor Reynold for giving up his Idol...but so glad that Malcolm, Reynold and Eddie are safe another week. I really can't believe that they didn't vote for Malcolm...Dawn was so sure he didn't have an idol.
