Survivor, Ep. 29.11 & 29.12

We're in for a double feature tonight! Woohoo! I can't wait to see the fallout of the failed plan to get out Jon and Keith last week.

Huyopa Camp - After Tribal
Alec is ticked at Keith because he blew it at Tribal Council by saying "stick to the plan".

Jon said he was going to play his idol even if Natalie wouldn't have said anything. Yeah right! He looked like he had no intention of using it, and he asked her "are you sure?".

Jon and Jaclyn get into a fight because he listened to Natalie and played the idol, and then he claimed it was his idea...but she said she had a part in it too. She thought that was selfish of him to take all the credit. What? Seriously? You're getting upset over that?

Reward Challenge
Challenge: questions about the people in the game, get a question right and you chop a rope for another survivor...3 chops and you're out.

Reward: horseback riding, a night away and brownies

Round 1: Who has a twin besides Natalie and Nadiya. Answer: Jeremy

Keith is the only one to get it wrong. Natalie chops Reed. Jon chops Reed. Alec chops Natalie. Missy chops Reed, and he's out. Jaclyn chops Alec. Baylor chops Alec. Reed chops Missy.

Round 2: Who owns their own tanning business? Answer: Julie

Jon chops Alec, and he's out. Alec chops Jon. Missy chops Keith. Jaclyn chops Keith. Keith chops Missy. Baylor chops Keith, and he's out.

And then...oh my gosh...a Survivor first! It's down to 5. Natalie asks the group who she should chop. There's so much discussion. Jeff stops them and asks if they are just going to be nice about it and decide as a group who's going to win. They said, yeah, basically. He asked why they should even continue, and who was going to win, and they said Missy, since she hadn't won anything. So, that was it, and Jeff called it, and let Missy win. OK, did that just happen? That was crazy!

Jon is chosen to go to Exile.

Missy chooses Baylor and Natalie to go on the reward with her. Then a huge fight ensues! Reed calls Baylor a brat and Missy gets very defensive. They thought Jaclyn should have been chosen over Natalie because Jon sacrificed for the group (huh?), and then Jaclyn got the shaft. It was clear to everyone that Missy, Baylor and Natalie are extremely tight, and in the group of 5, they think they are 1, 2, 3. Jaclyn is now...you guessed it...rethinking everything! Shocker! It wouldn't be right if she and/or Jon didn't decide to flip sides again.

Exile Island

Since idols were played, that means there's clues to a new idol. Jon better hope he can find it, because I think he'll need to play it again. And he's got it!

Huyopa Camp
The guys are all being extremely nice to Jaclyn, in hopes that she will jump ship and join them. They even gave her her own huge bowl of rice.

The girls return from the reward. Missy is worried that Reed swayed Jaclyn to their side. She now has damage control to make sure Jaclyn knows they are with her.

Drew likes Jaclyn. There's some flirting going on. Uh oh. Natalie and Baylor are suspicious of all their chatting.

Immunity Challenge
Challenge: balance a paddle on a stand, and roll 6 balls into holes at the end of the paddle. Let's just say, this would not be a challenge for Malcolm.

Jon takes the early lead with 2 balls. Alec has no clue what he's doing...big surprise. He got one, and then he lost it right away.

Jon now has 3, Keith and Natalie have 2. Natalie made a big jerking motion and lost all of hers.

Keith and Jon each have 3. Reed and Baylor have 0.

Keith now has 4 and 5. Jon has 4. Keith is so close with #6, and he's got it! Wow! Way to go Keith!!!

Huyopa Camp - Before Tribal
Reed fears his time is up. He hopes to target Missy, but he needs Jon and Jaclyn. Imagine that...another plan that depends on the votes of the "power duo".

Jaclyn informs Jon of everything that happened that has caused her to change her mind. She threw everything at him, and he kind of cut her off because he was tired of hearing about all the crap that's going on. He apologized, but she was mad at him. He just wanted to hang out with her and not talk game because he missed her when he was on Exile. She took that to mean that he doesn't need her help.

Reed joined the conversation, and tells Jon that the guys all want to be with them. Jon said it's all bull and no one means any of it. He snapped at Reed, and Reed said he could say the same thing to Missy but he really wanted to work with them over the other guys.

Jon, being an idiot, isn't having any of it. And then Natalie just joins in, and Jon winked at Reed while saying "that's why I can't trust you"...blah blah blah. That gave Reed hope that he was really considering what he was saying.

Then out of nowhere, Jon tells Missy, "I found the idol". Seriously?! Oh my gosh. Unless we didn't see it, it looks like he told Missy but didn't even tell Jaclyn he found it? I know he hasn't played the smartest game up to this point, but Exile really messed him up this time. Come on Jon, get your head in the game!

5 hours later...something's happening. Jon's trying to make up with Jaclyn, and she's giving him the silent treatment. And then, more flirting with Alec, and this time, Jon is present, and he DID notice. This was their last chance to talk and decide what they were doing. Looks like they might not be voting as a pair this time.

Tribal Council
Jon recounts what happened when he and Jaclyn talked. Jaclyn said she cried about it that afternoon...and Jon didn't know about that.

Reed talks about what he pitched to Jon and Jaclyn because of the Missy/Baylor/Natalie trio.

Missy throws Alec under the bus for flirting with Jaclyn, and Missy thinks it's all crap that Reed wants to work with them because his boyfriend got voted out.

The Votes

Ugh! They need to split up Missy and Baylor! Can't stand them!

Huyopa Camp - After Tribal
For the first time this season, everyone was in agreement on who to vote out. Everyone voted for Reed.

Jaclyn and Jon finally made up. Alec is sad because he doesn't have a loved one. He was kind of offended that they all think he's a flirt. He said if he wanted to flirt with someone, he would...but he would never do that.

Jon tells Alec that he trusts Missy, Baylor and Natalie. He doesn't think that Alec and Keith have anything left to play. And, he thinks he is still in control of the game.

Alec tells Jon that he doesn't want to be blindsided if he's going to go home. Jon said he promised he would always be honest. Someone on Twitter pointed out that Alec had a surprising confessional at the beginning of the show, so he could be on his way out. He's not my favorite one left, but I want to see Missy and Baylor go before him...doesn't look like that's going to happen.

Reward Challenge
Challenge: stand on a block (with only one foot) while stabilizing a ball against a piece of wood.
Reward: king size canopy bed delivered to camp, and a meal delivered to them

After only 3 seconds, Alec is out. Wow, that didn't take long.

Jaclyn does a nice balancing move, and she saved it.

After 20 minute's, Jon's ball is way off to the side, I don't think he can last much longer.

Missy is the 2nd one out.

Keith looked off to the side, and I knew it...that was all it took to let it slip, and he's 3rd out.

Baylor loses concentration, and she is 4th out. I don't know how Jon is still in it. His rolling pin is completely crooked, and he somehow moved it back into a better position. Great job!

A fly is messing with Jaclyn, but she sticks with it.

Jon's ball is moving again, and he almost saved it again, but he's out.

It's Natalie and Jaclyn. I don't think Natalie has moved at all until right now. Jaclyn's ball drops, and Natalie wins!

Natalie sends Alec to Exile. She invites Jaclyn and Jon to share the reward with her. Nice move strategically again. She said Jaclyn has talked about pasta more than anyone. She said she's wanted to get Jon out since he voted out Jeremy, and by doing something nice and showing her "loyalty", when she goes for revenge, he won't see it coming. Have to admit, this girl knows exactly what she's doing, and Jon is dumb enough to fall for it, hook line and sinker.

On the way out, Missy and Baylor look disgusted. Remember, they just won a reward, so they have no room to complain. But they whined that this reward was taking place at their camp and will be rubbed in their faces, and that's the difference. Oh wah, wah, wah! What babies!!!

Huyopa Camp
Hanging out with Natalie in the canopy bed, Jon is more reassured about his alliance with Missy and Natalie. Oh dear...

Natalie was bored by Jon's incessant talk about his knowledge about wine.

Talk turns to the game, and Jon tells her that he is very comfortable with her and he tells her that he found the idol on Exile. She can't believe her plan is working out so well.

Natalie tells Baylor about what a nightmare the reward was. She said Jon is so fake and he is so comfortable that he already knows what he's going to do with the $1 million. She tells Missy they should vote for Jon, but they shouldn't tell Missy because she is aligned with Jon and she won't vote him out. Baylor sees Jon as similar to the men in her mom's life and she gets blindsided by them and then hurt.

Keith can't believe how Jon and Jaclyn sleep all night and all day, and don't do anything. He knows he's on the outside looking in, but he's hoping something will happen with the 5 to save him.

Jon finally wakes up and sees that they gathered so much wood while he was sleeping. He got a very weird vibe and sensed that something was going on. Jaclyn said she wasn't sure if she trusted Natalie, but Jon said he did. She's worried that Keith is trying to sway them to vote out Jon. She's worried that he isn't worried.

Immunity Challenge
Challenge: pull a rope that balances a wobbling table and get 10 blocks and walk them back and set them up on the table. This was a fun challenge when they did it either last season, or the one before it.

The trick is to go fast, but you have to be steady...so difficult!

Keith is in the lead with 4. He is cruising! He has really surprised me in the last few challenges. Oh no, his all dropped!

Jaclyn has 6, Jon now has 6. He finally has a groove and is moving nice and steady. Keith, Jon, Jaclyn all have 7. Alec dumps again! Jaclyn dumps!

It's back to Jon and Keith, each with 8. But now Keith's drop! Jon has 9. He's praying...

Jon is moving very slowly with number 10. Keith is moving too quickly and all of them drop!

It's now up to Jon to keep the table steady and he's got it!!! Hahaha!!! I can't help but root for him...not sure why...he really hasn't played that great of a game. There's just something about him, and the fact that there just aren't that many people to root for. I'm glad he got saved yet again, because I'd hate to see him go out for being way too trusting and getting duped.

Another plan up in smoke...Jon's not going anywhere. Will they target Jaclyn instead? Natalie's stuck because she has no Plan B right now.

Huyopa Camp - Before Tribal
The looks on everyone's faces is hilarious. They look so dumbfounded about what to do. Jon said he was probably wrong for being so paranoid.

Jon's pick is to vote for Keith. He thinks they should split votes just in case Keith uses an idol. Missy is down for doing whatever Jon wants.

It looks like they are going to give some votes to Alec to scare him. He's feeling like he has no one, and he thinks his time is up. But, he's going to go down swinging. He said he will do what he has to, and if that means flirting, he will. His first target is Baylor. He starts getting emotional, and she loved seeing the "real" Alec. She wants him to stay because she likes this side of him.

This is such a bummer, because I don't want Keith to go. He talks to Natalie and he tells her that she should rethink who she's going to the end with. They talk about voting for Alec, and she can then use Keith to get Jon out next week. Normally Baylor and Natalie are together on everything, but Baylor really wants to keep Alec. She said he will also do whatever they say once Keith is gone.

Oh my, what's going to happen?! This would be a pretty big move on Natalie's part if she has the guts to do it.

Tribal Council
Mid-Tribal, there is a loud scream! A rat ran in front of them and the girls all screamed! Haha! That's a first!

Jon has a very emotional moment (possibly a good move for the jury, but definitely genuine). He talked about getting emotional for the reward that had wine. He loves wine because his dad introduced him to it, and his dad is dying of brain cancer and he doesn't have a lot of time left with him. He said it made him realize what's really important.

Keith throws it out to the group that someone needs to use his vote to make something happen. Natalie says she's confident that her and "the 5" are on the same page and there won't be any surprises.

The Votes
Keith
Alec
Keith
Alec
Keith
Alec
Alec

I can't believe that Keith survived!! Oh my...shocked faces all around. Jon's face, Missy's face, Jaclyn's face...they have NO CLUE what just happened. So it looks like Jon is NOT in control like he thought he was! I sure hope that this is a huge wake up call for him, and that he actually starts listening to Jaclyn, because she could save him from himself.

Preview for next week: Missy gets hurt and might have to leave the game. I don't want to be happy because she gets hurt, but if she leaves the game, I wouldn't be sad.

Gotta love Alec's goodbye message: He knows he was horrible at the challenges, but at least he beat Drew, so that was a win in his book. Ha!
