I am interested to see how this plays out because there are 6 people left, not 5! That means 3 Tribals before the final Tribal? Normally it's just 2.
Here we go!
Orkun Camp
Keith doesn't know why they voted Abi out because everyone should have wanted her at the end because anyone can beat her. He said he'd rather be there with her than with Spencer. Spencer said that just proved his point. He wants to be in the final 3, and if Keith wants to be there with her and not him, it made sense for him to vote her out.
Kimmi realizes if she sticks with Tasha, Jeremy, and Spencer that she probably won't make it to the end. She said they trust her, so now is the time for her to make a move.
Immunity Challenge
Those steps! This is becoming an iconic challenge. Jeff says it's a new challenge so no second chance redemption stories. I don't know about it being "new" - it looks pretty familiar. It may be new to the ones playing, but I'm pretty sure we've seen it before.
Challenge: collect puzzle steps and build them bottom to the top. At the top is the famous slide puzzle.
Spencer is first to finish his first section, bt Jeremy and Keith are right behind, and then come the others. Jeremy is wrong with a piece and he has to go all the way back down for another piece.
Spencer is done with the second section first. Probst reminds us that Spencer kills it on puzzles. We know that if he gets their first, he has a great chance of solving it first.
Jeremy is wrong again and he has to go way to the bottom. Wentworth has now moved into second behind Spencer.
Spencer finishes the third section and he's onto the puzzle! Wentworth is exhausted and is right behind Spencer. Jeremy is also finishing, and here comes Keith. Keith is dragging himself up the steps.
Come on Spencer! I hope Probst didn't jinx him by all of his praise of him and his puzzlework.
Spencer is neck-and-neck with Wentworth. Spencer is studying the puzzle and Wentworth is moving quickly. But Spencer thinks's he's done...and he's right! Individual immunity win #3! He's turning into a Joe! Way to go Spencer!
Orkun Camp
Tasha and Keith go off to collect water. They talk about what's going to happen. Kimmi says that she, him, and Wentworth are all going to vote for Jeremy and blindside him. She said they won't expect it.Keith is on board and this could be the "biggun" because he thinks he and Kimmi are the ones on the chopping block. Wentworth joins them and they agree to tell the others that they will vote for Wentworth. As expected, Spencer wants to split votes, which is what Kimmi thought they would want to do in case of an idol. As soon as Kimmi walks away, Spencer, Tasha, and Jeremy shake their heads and know that they are lying. Spencer is sure that Kimmi wants them to split the vote and they think she's a rat working on the other side. Jeremy doesn't think she is doing anything wrong. He tells Kimmi that he trusts her and she gets emotional because the others aren't trusting her. She was pulling a fake emotional breakdown. Jeremy bought it...dumb move. He knows his alliance is strong, but his side has the numbers and he doesn't want to risk using his idol. Jeremy thinks they should split the vote because Wentworth could have found another idol.
I think this may be leading up to what some are thinkng could be the thing that has never happened before: 2 players play their idols and none of the votes count. We shall see.
Tribal Council
Wentworth said that it was clear after the last vote that she and Keith are on their own, and Kimmi, Tasha, Spencer, and Jeremy are together.
Talk about idols. Spencer comes right out and said that Tasha, Jeremy, and he are voting strong as a unit and someone else wanted to split votes...excluding Kimmi. Spencer basically called her out and said she can vote with them or against them. Wentworth was stunned. Keith said Spencer can say what he wants because he has immunity. He basically said that there was going to be a showdown. Wentworth doesn't know who to trust because she trusted Spencer last vote and he turned on her. Spencer said if they don't vote with them they will go to rocks and they are ready for that. Wow! Kimmi says she feels like a pawn. Spencer and Tasha tell her that she will not be #4 with them. I don't know how they can all say that! Wow! So crazy!!!
The Votes
Idols - Wentworth decides to play her idol and Jeremy said "I told you" and because she did that, Jeremy decided he better use his...booyah! Spencer is stunned...he didn't think he had one.
Wentworth - doesn't count
Jeremy - doesn't count
Wentworth - doesn't count
Jeremy - doesn't count
Jeremy - doesnt count
Jeremy is stunned that it could have been him! A Survivor 1st -- no votes to be counted!!! Whoa!!! So NOW what?! They have to revote...Spencer is immune, Jeremy and Wentworth are also immune. They get a minute to talk. Jeremy asks who voted for him. Spencer said which 3 talked and decided to vote him out. As Kimmi carries the pot back to vote again, Jeremy, very loudly says "Kimmi, Kimmi, Kimmi! I'm so disappointed in you!" and he shook his finger at her. Yikes!
I am so glad Spencer is immune right now!
The Votes, Part 2
Tasha
Kimmi
Tasha
Kimmi
Tasha
Kimmi
Whoa! Now it's a tie!!! They are entitled to a revote. Spencer, Jeremy, Wentworth, and Keith all say they won't change their vote. So now, instead of a revote, the 4 have to unanimously decide to vote out either Tasha or Kimmi go home. If they can't decide, Keith will be out by default (because Spencer, Jeremy, and Wentworth are out; Tasha and Kimmi become immune and Keith is eligible to draw rocks and since he's the only one eligible, he's out). Yikes! This is a terrible spot! I don't wan to see Keith go out this way! He says Kimmi is a single mom, so they should send him home. He said if not tonight, he will go soon. He knows he won't make it to the end. Wentworth tells him not to give up. She tells him he needs to stay, so he agrees. Wentworth agrees to vote for Kimmi and so does everyone else. That was just nuts! So it's Kimmi who is sent packing. Yes! Keith stays and we get rid of someone who shouldn't really be there any more. I literally couldn't follow all the twists and turns in that one and who was valid to vote for whom.
Orkun Camp
Keith said people keep finding idols so he better start right now...in the dark!
Immunity Challenge
Holy CRAP! This thing looks INTENSE!!! GIANT obstacle course is putting it mildly. 6 courses to collect 6 pieces.
I'm not even going to begin to describe these course and stations and then a puzzle.
Man, Spencer takes a big fall! How does he manage to do so well when he takes some really awful spills!
Jeremy has 3 bags, Keith has 3, Tasha with 3. Spencer only has 2. Jeremy comes back with #4 and somehow he's on 5 already. Keith now has 5 and so is Wentworth and Tasha. Yikes! Spencer is stuck on his 3rd on the toughest station. Wentworth went for the hardest one first and that was smart.
Wentworth, Keith, and Jeremy all working on the puzzle. Spencer joins a little late and Tasha pretty close behind him.
Come on Spencer, work your puzzle magic! If Spencer can't get this, I hope Keith can get it!
Keith and Wentworth have 4 pieces and Spencer doesn't have any yet. Now she only has 2 pieces to go. No! Wentworth wins another immunity. She just keeps getting lucky it seems. She did really need that one. Like Keith said, the one person he didn't want to win it, won it. He is likely the next on the chopping block.
Orkun Camp
Wentworth wants Spencer or Jeremy gone, so she tells Keith that they should make him a fake immunity idol. She's been saving some things to use. She knows that this will make the other 3 paranoid and something crazy could happen. Jeremy sees them and he thinks they are up to something. She ended up making him a really good fake idol! It looks legit! Jeremy thinks that either of them could pull out an idol at Tribal and he's pretty sure they are coming after him.
Jeremy starts snapping his fingers and waving at Keith to try to get his attention, and he's totally oblivious. That was hilarious! He whispers to Keith to vote for Spencer. No!!!! Keith thinks that maybe he is trying to pull him into his alliance and out Spencer. No, no, no...I don't like this one bit! Keith is feeling pretty good right now that he has some options. Oh dear! I love Keith, but if it's between him and Spencer, then he's got to go.
Tribal Council
Not much to talk about here...let's just get down to business.
The Votes
I think it would have been funny if Keith would have tried to play the fake idol.
Spencer
Keith
Spencer
Keith
Keith
Yikes! So sad! I love them both and they should both still be in it. I wish Tasha was going instead. On the other hand, it is so dangerous keeping Jeremy and Spencer in there...do they realize how close both of them are to winning this?! Go Spencer!!!! If Keith had to go, I'm glad he went out legitimately by votes and not by something silly like drawing rocks...and being the only person to draw a rock!
Immunity Challenge
Man, we're flying through these challenges...so much action...no time to take a breath!
Challenge: One hand behind their back and drop a ball into a shoot and they have to grab it at the end. At intervals they will add more balls. At any point if their ball drops, they are out. This is tough because of the visual and the noise. Probst says they could easily get hypnotized and disoriented.
I really wish that this was just one big puzzle! Spencer's odds increased dramatically with Keith being voted out. I sure hope Wentworth doesn't win again! And they better not let Tasha win this!
Everyone in it, and they now have to add a second ball and then a third ball. Yikes! his is so hard!
They are all now on 4 balls! Holy cow, so confusing! And Wentworth is out! Yes! I can't watch, I'm so nervous for Spencer!
Tasha is out! It is between Spencer and Jeremy! Eeek! Now they have to add a 5th ball. They are coming out so fast! I don't know how they keep up. And just like that, Spencer's drops! No!!! Jeremy hasn't won anything all season, and of course he has to win the last one. He got really emotional and so was Wentworth. She knows the other 3 are so tight, so she knows she is in trouble.
Orkun Camp
Wentworth looks pretty defeated. Tasha and Spencer hope the relationship they have built in the last 38 days is enough to get them to the final 3 with Jeremy. Jeremy says he's locked with Tasha and Spencer...I just hope he's not lying to their face.
Spencer tells Wentworth he is voting for her because he thinks she is the biggest threat. He said if she voted for him he wouldn't hold it against him. She knows Spencer is big competition, so of course she is going to pitch to Jeremy that he is too risky to bring to the finals. Jeremy says that both Spencer and Wentworth have convincing resumes. He asks her if she would be willing to go to fire. She said "of course". Oh Jeremy, PLEASE don't make Spencer make fire for his survival! Be loyal to the end! It will look better if he stays loyal.
Tribal Council
Wentworth says she's voting for Spencer because he's a threat. She said he probably has his finale speech all ready to go. He said he doesn't until he gets there. He said it's like the pot calling the kettle black. He said if Wentworth makes it to the final, he will vote for her to win and so will everyone else. Oh boy...no one giving in here...I have no idea what Jeremy's going to do.
Poor Spencer, he votes and says he's so nervous he can't see straight. Fingers crossed!
The Votes
Spencer
Wentworth
Wentworth
Wentworth
YES!!!!! Woohoo! Spencer's in the final 3!!!!!!! I think Spencer will probably get a couple votes, but I think Jeremy probably has it in the bag. I kind of hope that Tasha doesn't get any votes. She doesn't deserve to be in the final 3. I don't think anyone on the jury likes her, and even if they did, I don't know how anyone could justify voting for her over Jeremy or Spencer. It will be interesting to see what she comes up with for her speech and how she answers the questions.
Former players on Twitter think it was wrong of Spencer to blackmail Jeremy and that it may come back to haunt him. I sure hope not! He just really wants to win!
Final Tribal - Jury Questions
OK, so we only have 15 minutes left, so either we fly through this, or they use up part of the Reunion time. Neither of these are good options!
Savage
Epic season, his vote is open. They need full, honest answers. Spencer - arrogant for burying Jeremy, do you regret it? He was arrogant the first time and he's worked on it. He said he might have gotten carried away this time, but he's gained self-awareness and it came off wrong last night. Jeremy - jury watches him and he attacked Kimmi and was so arrogant. He said he was upset and not arrogant. He said he fully trusted her and she hurt his feelings.
Fishbach
Jeremy-brought trust, honor, and integrity.
Tasha-perception of doing Jeremy's dirty work. She said no one dictates what she does. She did what she wanted.
Spencer-strong strategic play and he was surprised he was willing to betray people for voting blocks. He said he didn't have a lot of close people so he had to jump to voting blocks at the expense of people like him.
Ciera
Flippers rarely make it to the end. Voting blocks required flipping and jury feels betrayed. Why should flipping be rewarded.
Jeremy-the caliber of players opened up avenues to move around.
Tasha-result of multiple swaps and deals with people in each situation, so flipping needed to be done.
Spencer-so many types of situations and a lot of blurred lines and that lead to blindsiding threats to get to the top.
Keith
His style is being humble.
Jeremy-convince him why Spencer is a winner, and Spencer the same about Jeremy. He said he came from the bottom and won lots of immunities and he's intelligent.
Spencer-Jeremy was in a powerful position and deserves credit for that.
Abi
She brought notes, oh boy. The game is about big moves, she wants to know subtle moves they made.
Tasha-reconnecting with Spencer and fellow Cagayans. Her relationship with Spencer was stronger than Jeremy, which everyone assumed was her stronger alliance.
Spencer-Joe and shifting distrust onto him than on himself because they were on the bottom.
Jeremy-his team losing challenges which allowed him time to look for idols.
Kimmi
Spencer-he was a bully on the jury and she will use it as an example of what not to do with her kids. Ouch! Jeremy and Tasha and her had an alliance and they let Spencer come in and replace her.
Jeremy-Spencer didn't replace her and that's why he was duped by her when she did turn on him. Ooh burn!
Joe
His vote is open and objective.
Tasha-she wasn't aware of what was going on. Jeremy told her what was going on and he wants to know when she found out something and what she did to turn it around. She said when he was voted out, she said Jeremy was conflicted even at Tribal and so she stepped in.
Wiglesworth
15 years ago in Season 1, she lost by 1 vote. Her fate was determined by one question...the "pick a number between 1 and 10. Greg might not be remembered for much, but I sure remember that epic question! Former players on Twitter HATE her for asking that question, but I kind of think it was brilliant! I mean, we all know Jeremy is going to win, so why not make it a little fun?!
Jeremy picks 2.
Tasha picks 3.
Spencer picks 4.
Kass
Spencer-their season when she flipped he said she had zero chance of winning. She thinks he did the same thing she did so how could he ask her to vote for him. He said it's not hypocritical of him to ask her to vote for her because he has changed from the person he was.
Wentworth
She wanted to play her second chance as an individual. She wants to know what their second chances were all about and if they accomplished it.
Tasha-build and maintain relationships built on trust.
Spencer-teetering between who he was and who he is trying to be. The first time he had no people skills and he worked on it and even if he got blood on his hands he made relationships he couldn't before.
Jeremy-starts crying and said he's there for Val and his kids. He said before he left Val told him she was pregnant and he had to miss out on that. In her visit, she told him that she was having a boy and he wanted so badly to tell all of them because he didn't want to mess anything up because he's doing it all for them and that's all he cares about.
And that final response from Jeremy wipes away every single thing that anyone said. They ended on the most emotional and heartfelt note...how in the world does anyone NOT vote for that? If they had lead with that question, the jury probably would have said they didn't need to hear anything else.
For the second season in a row, they don't show the final 3 making a statement and one last final plea as to why they should win. I would have really liked to see what they would all say.
The Final Vote!
Jeremy

Jeremy
Yeah, saw that coming a mile away! Congrats to Jeremy on a great game. He deserved it. But man, I really wanted the underdog Spencer to win :( I wish he would have gotten at least 1 vote because he deserves better than to tie for 2nd with Tasha. Probst confirms that it was a clean sweep.
Reunion
Notice anyone missing from the stage? Vytas, the first person voted out is missing. I found out yesterday that he was banned from the reunion (not just the stage, the whole thing). He violated the contract by leaving seclusion early to go home and be with his son. That's too bad!
Probst asked Jeremy why he didn't tell anyone about the baby. He said last time he was the firefighter with the kids and had the whole sympathy vote so people wanted him out. He thought adding a baby to that would be too much.
Probst revealed that Wentworth lost 31 lb! That's 23% of her body weight! I knew her face was looking really sunken in at the end...wow!
Probst asks Fishbach if he was too fixated on Joe. He said sure, but who wouldn't be?! He said he was a golden boy, and he was the white whale. Probst said in his case, the whale ate him! haha!
Probst asked Keith why he didn't play the fake idol. He said he didn't want to go out that way, because it was too cheesy. He also was asked how close he came to walking out for Kimmi. He said he wasn't sure. He said he just thought it was the right thing to do. He was so emotional! So cute, Keith!
And then for the best part of the show, right before the commercial break, Probst says: "Up next: a player so popular - kids want to be him, women want to date him, men just want to hang out with him. Joe, he's so delicious, he even has his own cake pop. Man-bun or no man-bun?" The look on Joe's face was priceless!! He hung his head in embarrassment and then got the funniest look on his face when he said he was delicious! That was hilarious! He's just so gosh darn cute! Probst reads some of Joe's stats: safe 28 days safe-record. 6 tribe immunity challenges in a row -tied with Keith. He won 4 individual immunities which, was 1 short of the record. Ranks 3rd in most individual immunity wins behind Boston Rob and Ozzie (great company there!) and they have played more seasons than he has. First player ineligible to vote. Wow! What a resume! When Joe got voted out, fellow cast members got hate mail!
Spencer looks so cute! He said he knew he lost the game at the last Tribal. He said he actually stopped watching the episodes this season. He got tired of seeing each week that he should have voted out Jeremy. He said basically he should have never been at the end with him. He was happy to see his emotional growth and the change he made great relationships. He's still in love with his girlfriend...so cute!
Abi has come to the realization that she is her own worst enemy.
Terry-I'm still bummed he had to go out the way he did. It's so great to see that his son is doing so well, especially when he was so close to dying.
Coming Up!
Season 32 (this was actually filmed before Season 31) is a Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty season. For the first time, they actually showed some of the people who will be playing. I had already heard that Scot Pollard, former NBA player and Caleb from Big Brother were going to be competing.
Apparently this is going to be one of the worst season for injuries. There are some NASTY looking injuries. Looks like there are a ton of evacuations! Yikes! I can't wait!!!
