So, previously on Survivor, Phillip revealed himself to be a crazy spazz. Russhole made yet another "cute little girl" alliance with Stephanie and the Robfather made a great move in voting out the Fusah priest Francesca 4-3-2.
This time, Russhole added another girl, Krista Klumpp (a Natalie White 2.0 if ever there was one) into his alliance but Ralph "Rooster" Kaiser manages to grab everyone else and steal the hidden immunity idol from right under Russhole's nose. Rooster seemed unaffected by Russhole's intimidation tactics, and doing so earns him admiration from David and Da Soldier Mike, although they might just be envious of his body hair.
On Ometepe, Robfather is in complete control with an alliance of just about everyone except Kristina and Phillip. However, he notices Matt and Andrea getting close and is wary, since Amber and him were a dominant duo on Survivor All-Stars.
Now to Redemption Island! Francesca arrives and begins writing in her journal and.....that's it. Honestly, CBS should've portrayed Redemption Island more as Francesca's character could be developed so much more. >:(
So, to the immunity/reward challenge. Ometepe take an early lead after Sarita slows down Zapatera, but Zapatera comes back at the ball-throwing stage as Rooster hits 4 targets in a row while Phillip hits 1. Although Phillip has a late rush which ties the score at 4-4, Rooster does the trick by burying the final target, winning Zapatera immunity. Then, Matt just enlarged the target on his back by blithely shaking hands with the Zapateras, causing Robfather to hate on him even more. Matt's chances of elimination are rising into the early 90%s.
At Ometepe, Phillip makes a goodbye speech, convinced that he's going home next. But Robfather tells his alliance bar Matt and Andrea to blindside Matt due to his actions for Zapatera. With the whole alliance, he tells them to split the vote between Kristina and Phillip, causing one of them to go home depending on if Kristina plays her idol or not. Then, in a vintage Robfather move, Rob convinces Phillip that he's safe for the moment and tells him to vote according to his signal at tribal council
Tribal Council Time! Phillip goes on a much more balanced speech sounding like an epitaph, still convinced he's going home. Kristina wants to confirm this by playing her idol. Rob motions for Phillip to vote Kristina. And the votes are cast....
Phillip gets 2 votes. Kristina gets 2 votes, but both are negated. And Matt is in open shock as he gets 4 straight votes from his own alliance. Matt is voted off, 4-2-0!
Einstein's Lost Twin Brother Award goes to Rob/Rooster. Rob does great in recognizing the Matt/Andrea duo as a threat and garners Phillip on his side and causes Kristina to waste her idol. Rooster also gets his Zapatera alliance into a great position outnumbering Russell's alliance 6-3 with the hidden immunity idol in his hands too.
Dumber'n A Bag of Hammers Award goes to Kristina. Why the heck would you waste your idol like that???? Now you have no idol, no chance to blindside Rob and a huge target on your back. Best get ready for Redemption Island.
Crazy Man Award goes to Russell. He just randomly confronts Rooster about having the hidden immunity idol clue and goes all defensive instead of just admitting it. o.o not a great way to appease the majority alliance leader.
Next episode I predict that Zapatera will lose immunity, as Stephanie mentions a "blindside" in the trailer. However, Rooster has the idol, so either he makes a fake to fool Russell or Russell just steals his idol. On Ometepe, Andrea apparently goes all crazy in losing Matt, but I'm pretty sure that this is just a red herring. And on Redemption Island, I'm pretty sure Matt will beat Francesca as he is better physically and barely got a POV this season, while Francesca features pretty prominently in the 1st episode.
Stay tuned for our next episode.
