Tai realizes his big mistake about talking about the Super Idol. Scot realizes that there is no more Brawn alliance, and it's just him, Jason, and Tai. Tai said he panicked after he made his mistake, and just decided to vote for Jason, Then he said he knew he couldn't lie very well, but he said he voted for Debbie. Jason and Scot decide to mess with the women and make them weak by taking the machete and ax and make camp life miserable. They won't help the women find food or anything. This makes Tai uncomfortable because that's not the kind of person he is. Unfortunately, he can't control what they do.
So, it the early morning hours, Scot and Jason find the machete and sneak off with it while Joe is tending to the fire in the dark. They take the machete and ax and walk deep into the jungle to find a good place to find them. This is their way of fighting back after the blindside.
Debbie sees that the guys are pissed off and are making everything uncomfortable. She said they are not gentlemen, and they are bad sportsman. Debbie is the first to notice the missing tools. Michele and Debbie realize what has happened. They are determined to find food without the tools. They used a saw to open a coconut...much to Scot's dismay. He was steaming, so he decided to do something stupid. He poured water all over the fire. Oh boy, this is not good, Scot. Michele was able to get the fire going again, so Scot said..."let's think of some other fun stuff to do."
Reward Challenge
Debbie brings up the sabotage and what Scot did to the fire. He said he was just sending a message that he and Tai are the providers.
Challenge: teams of 4 attached to a rope that needs unspooled and then race to knock blocks down with sandbags.
Reward: Chinese takeout
Jeff said they can either do a schoolyard pick, or if they can decide on their groups, they can do that. Someone has to sit out, and Joe volunteers. Julia volunteered to go with Tai, Jason, and Scot. Cydney sees exactly what she's doing. Aubrey also sees that she is trying to solidify herself with the strong guys and she's playing both sides. Joe decides to pick the girls as the winning team. If he's right, he gets to share in the reward with them.
The guys + Julia are in the lead and are first to get to the pole portion. All of them are now free and they are on to the blocks.
Aubrey is slowing the other team down and is taking forever. Jason is dominating with the blocks. Scot comes in to take over and he knocks a bunch down.
Cydney misses for the girls and Debbie comes in to take over. She starts nailing a bunch. Who knew she would have an arm like that?
Debbie is catching up and Scot has only 3 more. Jason comes in and gets 1 and another. Jason hits the winning shot.
So, Jason, Scot, Tai, and Julia are the winners.
Dara Camp
Tai was so happy to have his noodles. Scot was glad to have time to pick Julia's brain. Julia said getting rid of them would not be in her best interest. She said that she would be on the bottom of the girls' alliance. She said she would communicate with them to let them know what's going on on the other side.
Debbie said she doesn't have 1 iota of concern that Julia will flip to the other side. Cydney, on the other hand, didn't buy one thing that Julia was saying. Cydney tells Aubrey that Julia is the most dangerous player in the game right now because she wants to have alliances and ride the middle.
Tai hates what Scot did, but he doesn't agree with it. He said he needs to put his feelings aside. So what does he do? In the middle of the night, HE puts out the fire!!! Tai said his evil side was coming out. It's them vs. us. Wow, I can't believe he did that!
In the morning, Joe assess the damage. He realizes water was put on it. Of course, they think that Jason and Scot did it. Aubrey thinks this is a big sign that Julia needs to go. Aubrey thinks Scot did it deliberately because he wants them to come after him. She thinks if they go after Julia, they will flush out all the idols. I'm missing something because this doesn't make any sense to me. I guess she's thinking that if they do that, he would play an idol and one of them would go home? Debbie put her foot down and refused to go after Julia. She thinks it has to be either Scot or Jason.
Immunity Challenge
Challenge: stack blocks on a beam while attempting to miss obstacle - the blocks then need to fall like dominos to hit a gong; every time you drop a block or hit the obstacle that knocks them down, you have to go back.
Julia is going slow and steady. Jason is the first to have a big hit, followed by Scot and they both lose everything. Michele is in the lead, and Tai is close...however, he hits an obstacle and they all go down. Aubrey was catching up but she loses everything! Cydney loses everything!
Michele still in the lead with only Julia and Debbie still in it.
Michele has it and knocks them down...but her last block didn't fall! She has to reset most of them.
Debbie is going for the win and she only gets a few dominos to fall at the beginning. Haha! Scot and Jason are back in it! Julia is restacking but hers look too far apart. Scot loses everything again.
It's Julia and Jason. Jason going for the win - it didn't work. No! Debbie thinks she has it but no!!!
Julia for the win and she has it! Finally! Wow, she needed that one big time!
Dara Camp Pre-Tribal
Debbie wants to throw it out that they split the vote between Scot and Tai. She said that Jason will expect that it's going to be him. She said there's no way that they any of them have an idol. Ha! If only she knew that they have 2!!! I just hope they are smart enough to play them. The vote will end up 3-3-3 and then they will revote, and they will go with Scot. Aubrey can't believe she said this all in front of Julia. Cydney also can't believe that Debbie trusts Julia. Aubrey thinks that she needs to align herself with strong players who aren't going to waver. She told Cydney that she would not be opposed to cutting Debbie loose. Cydney said she would go for that, and Aubrey thinks she could get Joe on board. Oh, what a turn of events if this plays out! Cydney said Debbie will take them all down before Scot and Jason will. Aubrey talks to Joe and Cydney talks to Michele. Joe does not want to take out Debbie. The girls want to stick with the Debbie plan even if they don't have Joe.
Julia tells the guys the plan. Scot tells her to vote Cydney and that will be the end of it. That will make it 4 for Cydney. Their plan hinges on Julia.
Aubrey and Cydney go back to Julia and they tell her that the plan is Debbie. Julia said she would go along with that. Julia is in the middle. She can either send Cydney, a threat, home, or she can send Debbie, someone she has wanted gone for some time, home.
Tribal Council
Debbie said there are 2 distinct groups. She also said they are not eating because they don't have a machete. Their "very lives, not our figurative lives, our literal lives are on the line". She's so dramatic.
Jeff asks about Julia's decision to go with the guys. She said the alliance that blindsided Nick was ok with her going with the guys because someone had to go. Michele looked surprised by this, but Debbie nodded along in agreement. Debbie was glad that she got a meal, and she was brave to go with them. Michele said tonight Julia can show where her true alliance lies since she is sitting pretty with immunity.
Tai said he thinks idols might come into play tonight based on the conversations at Tribal...that is...if they exist. Tai, you need to stop talking. The more you talk, the bigger hole you dig yourself in. You are not good at covering your tracks at all! So then, big mouth Scot says "let's just tell everyone what's going to happen". No Scot! What are you doing?! He says "Tai's got an idol"...cue SHOCKED LOOKS EVERYWHERE. So, he pulls it out and Scot says he's not going anywhere. Jason says, "Wait a minute! That idol's got a brother! There are 2 of them!" What are you idiots thinking?! Where is the element of surprise?! To say the others were shocked would be an understatement. Scot and Jason do a bro high five and they think they are sitting on top of the world. They are way too cocky.
Joe whispers "same vote". Nick and Neal on jury think they should combine them. Jeff asks if they are going to play them. Tai said "obviously, it's 6 vs 3". Jason said they are all going to vote, when Jeff asks to play an idol, they will rock, paper, scissors to see who gets the idol and the other goes on the block. What?! No. You wait to see who gets voted out and then you use the Super Idol to save that person! I hope that's just a bluff.
Lots of conversations and lots of whispering to try to figure out what to do.
The Votes
Jeff asks for an idol - Jason and Scot do rock, paper, scissors, but they decide to give it to Tai. Tai said he accepts the idol and he is going to sit down.
Scot
Cydney
Scot
Cydney
Cydney
Debbie
Debbie
Debbie
Debbie
Whoa!!!! So many shocked faces! Debbie can't believe it. Joe can't believe it. Michele can't believe it. The guys are pretty psyched that they didn't have to play either of the idols. That was pretty awesome! They are lucky it played out in their favor...this time.
So many things can happen from here on out. Jason gave Tai his idol. At this point, that idol is Tai's. He is not obligated to return it to Jason. Idol's can't be stolen, but Jason gave him the idol publicly and Tai accepted it, so it's now his to do with as he pleases. This could get very interesting, should Tai decide to cut ties with Scot and Jason, as the previews suggest, as Aubry is trying to get him to switch. I think this might have been the final nails in the coffin for Jason and Scot. They are so disliked at this point, and even if Tai would use the Super Idol on one of them, they are toast for the next Tribal. However, because they are so disliked, they could still be taken to the end because people don't think they would receive any votes. But on the other hand, they are strong challenge threats, so if they don't win immunity, they would be better off to vote them out. If they go back and forth winning immunities and end up taking each other, the rest will really kick themselves.
