“CLAY WINS the mildly feminine sunshine-looking IMMUNITY necklace!”
The Great Mystery – Who Should Go?
Back from the challenge, Ted points out that since Ken was in the final, he’s clearly a threat and “so our strategy now is to go ahead and eliminate the strength or the potential strength of Sook Jai.”
At this point, the episode could’ve just went to tribal council. Instead, we got to see Jake and Ken’s Hail-Mary effort to recruit at least one member of Chuay Gahn to their side in order to boot Brian. We see Jake telling Clay, “My plan calls for you to be able to handle one of the ladies. Can you handle one of the ladies?”
“Oh yeah,” Clays says. (His eyebrows were raised while he listened, indicating to me that Clay, once again, has his eyes open just a little bit more than usual during his lie.)
“Can you?”
“Easy.”
Brian very well explains the game at this point, “Now it’s the 4th quarter, basically. We’re getting to the long stretch. Everything counts. Friends count. Relationships count. The littlest things are gonna either make you or break you at this stage. Unless you’re holding that immunity necklace around you… who knows?”
I wonder if the Survivors are coached to say things that will help the show maintain at least a little bit of mystery before the Tribal Council…?
Tribal Council
Blah blah blah.
There was nothing said that wasn’t expected.
Time to Vote
Chuay Gahn voted as an alliance as did Sook Jai.
I really liked Ken. He handled himself extremely well throughout the entire show. He responded to everything with intelligence, diplomacy, and honor.
Next Episode
From CBS’ site:
After being shocked by the vote at Tribal Council, one Survivor begins questioning a former ally as a secret plot is revealed.
Two tribemates return from a surprise trek away from camp with full stomachs and a suspicious gift.
Meanwhile, one tribe member preys on the fears of another in an attempt to gain votes and become the Sole Survivor.
And from the previews, the challenges actually look interesting.
Yippee!
