Survivor, Ep. 27.5

Redemption Island Duel
Just gotta say it...I'm #TeamCody all the way! I hope they send Brad packing for good.

Brad comes in "waving his white flag", in hopes that John and Candice don't hit him. He says he apologizes for "whatever". Yeah, Brad, that sounded really convincing.

Monica cries seeing Brad enter the arena. She asks Brad if she can take his spot. He says he is going to fight for it.

The challenge is to take planks on a box apart to use as a bridge. The planks are a puzzle and the pieces only work a certain way. Finally, they have to take the plank pieces with an image on the back to make a puzzle. Candice comes out with an early lead. Somehow, Brad is now in the lead and Candice is in last...what happened?! It's neck and neck and they are all in it! Yikes! John finishes first! 2 weeks in a row for him, wow! At the last second, Brad puts in his last piece! Oh no! Poor Candice! That is such a huge bummer!

As the winner, John gives the clue to Monica. She again, throws it in the fire. It was definitely a major statement the last time, but this time she really should have taken the clue and just shared it with everyone. But really, why has NO ONE found an idol yet? Are the producers playing a joke on them and thee is no idol, or are these people just really bad at finding it?

Tadhana
Ciera thinks she can break up the guy alliance because Hayden and Vytas had no idea that Caleb was going to do what he did at the last Tribal to get Brad out. Hayden isn't sure where he stands now with Caleb, because maybe he's working with the girls. Vytas doesn't think that anyone will ever feel safe with Caleb after what he did, because he flipped on a dime.

Caleb thinks he has some power because he could go with the girls or stay with the guys. Anyone else here him say "big kahunas"? Um...I think you mean "big cojones". Not quite the same thing.

Tadhana is looking like a very broken tribe. They all have scrapes all over, Ciera has bug bites all over and Katie is losing a toenail! They've got some problems to say the least.

Galang
Laura B. still feels like an outsider on her tribe of returning players. Meanwhile, Laura M. thinks she is working her way in with Aras by giving him a relaxing massage. Aras is completely aware of what she is doing and says that it won't work.

Immunity Challenge
Big slide time! After sliding, they have to toss a ring on a post to earn a point for their team.

Monica, Laura B. and Laura M. sit out for Galang. I'm not sure this was a smart choice.

On one toss, Caleb connects and it's 1-0 Tadhana. Tyson beats Haden to score for Galang. Katie scores over Kat for Tadhana. Aras vs. Vytas, and it's Vytas with one toss! Tina scores over Ciera. It's 3-2 Tadhana. Caleb scores over Tyson and Tadhana only needs one more. Hayden scores over Gervase for the final point, and Tadhana wins!

First win for Tadhana and they choose steaks over fishing equipment as their reward.

Pre-Tribal
Laura B. tells Kat that Monica and Laura M. were talking about Kat because they wanted to do the challenge. So it looks like she will be the pot stirrer of the group.

Right now it looks like they want to vote out Laura B. because she's an easy vote and it won't ruffle any feathers...plus, she's really annoying. However, Aras thinks the easy vote might not be the best vote. He thinks maybe it should be Laura M. instead. She is on the outside of the 5-member alliance of Aras, Tyson, Gervase, Monica and Tina. As Tyson put it, she has no idea what is going on or what alliances there are.

Tribal Council
Either way this goes, it looks like a Laura will be going home tonight...or to Redemption Island that is.

Votes:
Laura B.
Laura M.
Laura M.
Laura M.
Laura M.
Laura M.

Best part of the night? Kat pulling the strings of her hood to cover her face as Laura walks past her to get her torch snuffed!

The preview for next week shows Tyson and Gervase discussing dethroning "King Aras" --- DISLIKE!!!!
The preview also makes it look like there is going to be a tribe swap. This could be the best thing for him or the worst thing. It could be the best because Tyson and Gervase could be split up from Aras, and therefore their plan would be screwed. But, it could be the worst because if he and Vytas are reunited, everyone has already said that they would be the toughest pair, which makes him a target...and if he's with either Tyson or Gervase, that's just even more reason for them to target him, since they each have lost their partner.

Another thing to think about is: could one or more people be returning from Redemption Island? So many possibilities...can't wait!
