Survivor, Ep. 30.8

Merica Camp - After Tribal
I can't believe I actually have to type that crazy tribe name. Blue Collars were stunned and could do nothing but congratulate Jenn on a great move.

Rodney thinks that Mike turned on them and voted for Hali. Will said it was him and he did what he was told. Rodney said Mike thinks he's running things, so once Joe, Hali, Jenn, and Shirin go, they will run things.

Merica Camp
Rodney is learning to control his anger. Like when Joe and his "stooges" try to run everything like controlling the food.

Reward Challenge
Reward: a pizza picnic and ziplining
Challenge: walk on balance beams to collect bags and take them to the other end. First 3 to collect 3 bags move on to Round 2. Then first to finish the puzzle wins.

Mike falls hard! Shirin falls and has to start over. Joe is flying! Meanwhile, Shirin is dangling on the beam like she is doing a gymnastics routine. She is the only who doesn't have 2 bags. Carolyn is also struggling.

3 moving on: Joe, Mike, Hali

I'm actually rooting against Joe on this one...you don't want to win a reward, then have to pick someone to go with you, and then be separated from the rest of the group. Yes, the food is good, but winning has a lot of negatives as well.

It looks like it's between Joe and Hali, while Mike is getting frustrated and falling out of it quickly. Hali and Joe had some wrong pieces, and Mike is catching up.

And it's Joe for the *bittersweet* win. This was one he didn't have to win...I'm worried that when the immunity challenge comes he won't get the win when he needs it.

He makes some excellent choices to join him: Tyler, Will, Carolyn, and Shirin
Rodney said he would love to go, but "graciously" took his name out of the running. Shirin yells "super fan" and Dan said "super fan". Joe picked Shirin because of how absolutely excited she was to be there for this once in a lifetime opportunity. She was stoked.

Mike said Joe winning was devastating because there will most likely be a clue to the hidden immunity idol. Doh! I wasn't even thinking about that! OK, kind of glad that Joe won now!

Reward
They had so much fun on that zipline!

Oh yes! Joe said he wanted more soda, Carolyn said she didn't want more so she gave the bottle to Joe. He saw inside there was a clue and he so carefully chugged the drink and slyly pulled out the clue. Tyler looks at him and said I'll have some of that...he clearly saw him. Tyler said he could have outed him right then and there, but chose to keep quiet.

Merica Camp

Tyler waited til sundown, and then he and Joe snuck off. Joe is willing to share the clue with Tyler because that will make them closer. How does Tyler luck out with all these idol and clue revelations? Mike sees them out of the corner of his eye, so he decides to follow them because he knows they got a clue. Mike is in the tree spying on them. He walks up to them at the water and asks how they are doing and they say they couldn't sleep well. Tyler now wonders how much Mike saw, and what he should tell him. He doesn't want to alienate the group he is with. He tells Mike that Joe didn't really tell him much other than it's by the water, and defies gravity.

Now they've left Joe off to look by himself, so it's a mad dash to go find him. No one can find him! It's mad paranoia and scrambling! This is great! This brings back memories of Spencer and Woo! I just hope Joe makes quick work of finding the idol. Mike again is hiding behind the trees watching and he sees Joe. He decides to put an even bigger target on Joe. So, in front of everyone, he says Joe found the idol, and says he saw him put it in his pocket. Oh, this dude!

Joe thinks he can just relax now because people think he has it. No, Joe! Don't get complacent!

Dan and Shirin talk. He said he's surprised by her. He said she's like him, a super fan, but she like so many others can't do basic math. He can't understand why she would align herself on the side with smaller numbers. He said she is now just seen as one of Joe's minions. He said her game is done. She said he just doesn't understand her gameplan. He then tells us he can't even remember her name...Shanini? lol! He said someone needs to do us all a favor and slap her in the face so she will shut up. Oh man, Dan. He needs to look in a mirror because as a self-described "super fan", he seems to be the one who can't do basic math. Why in the world would he say something like that to a potential jury member? He said it so calmly and calculated. They weren't having an argument, and he didn't spew it out of hate. He even said he was "trying to be nice". He must have a very different definition of the word from me, because that was just downright rude, and could be seen as bullying. And then for him to talk about her needing to be slapped? Of course, I'm sure he didn't mean it literally (at least I hope not), but still. That does not make him look too good. Shirin did what any girl would do and she dished the dirt to her girlfriends, so now instead of just making one person mad, he's now alienated the entire opposite sex (if he hadn't fully done so already). Nice move "super fan".

I am going to be very disgusted if Mike ends up finding this idol. I can't believe Joe stopped looking. Mike is a man on a mission. He's crying and he thinks he just has to find it. This is how people find idols. And there it is...he pulls it out of the tree and he just cries. Nooooo! I cannot believe he just found that thing. Joe, Joe, Joe...YOU ARE SCREWED! Mike said he is not going to share this with anyone, and proceeded to do a weird happy dance.

Immunity Challenge
Challenge: move pieces through multiple slide mazes and then a puzzle to solve at the end

I seriously can't even watch this. It's like watching Ozzie and Malcolm...heart is pounding...knowing HE HAS TO WIN THIS!

Lots of people all at the last puzzle in about the same place. Dan calls out "I got it!" Jeff checks and he is wrong! He thinks he has it again...WRONG! Come on Joe! Don't panic, just slow and steady. Joe thinks he has it....oh please be right! YES!!!!!! I literally screamed out loud in pure joy, and now my throat really hurts!

Merica Camp
Tyler thinks Shirin has an idol because she was scrambling earlier. Dan said he would lean toward her not having it, because he doesn't think her game is good enough...unless she's an idiot savant. He said he would lean more towards the idiot side. Wow, Dan, wow...

Shirin, Sierra, Hali and Jenn talk about how rude Dan is. Shirin said what he had said to her earlier. Sierra said she would like to make a girl alliance because she wants a girl at the end. She is not sure she wants to stick with her blue collars any more. They decide to target Dan.

Shirin told Tyler the plan. They need one more person to join their team. Shirin gives a convincing argument that Dan and Mike are running things. Tyler would love nothing more than to target them and get them out before they can come after him. I sure hope you're telling the truth Tyler because this would be a sweet move. But why not target Mike instead? Flush out the idol (they don't know he has at this point). He wouldn't see it coming and most likely wouldn't play the idol.

Tribal Council
Dan said flippers never win. Shirin said Tony won and he flipped many times. She said they are all team Merica. Ha!

The Votes
Dan
Hali
Dan
Hali
Dan
Hali
Dan
Hali
Hali
Hali

Crap! I liked Hali. Why oh why can't these people vote for the right people! People keep talking about flipping, but then they chicken out. Someone needs to be brave and make a big move. Get these blue collars out of there! I am really starting to dislike Sierra. She openly talks about her disgust of her old blue collar tribe, yet she continues to vote with them. Make up your mind! They could so tak the game into their own hands if people like Sierra and Will would get their act together! They are just handing the game over to people like Mike and Tyler.
