In tonight’s #Survivor episode, they were all Dakuwaqa tribe now. The tribes have merged into one tribe. Only that didn’t stop the politics or the secret alliances going on in the background. They pretty much worked together to remove Sifu as well as Kaleb.
Those two men were easy targets. The new easy target was Jake. Jake didn’t vote with his party. He tried to save Kaleb when everyone else disagreed and so now Bruce was calling him a liability.
Bruce was now on the same page as the formerly Rebas. Julie also wanted to get Jake out for having voted for her elimination in the last tribal council. And so people were starting to point at Jake when the unexpected happened.
The women realized they had the numbers. There were six women left. There only four men left. If the women voted together to get rid of the guys first, they can ensure that the next winner of Survivor will be a woman. It’s what they all wanted.
They were just letting old alliances get in the way. Julie didn’t want to give up on her former Rebas. She said that Drew, Austin, and Dee had already made a plan to be the final four. She didn’t want to risk that by going along with the women. And the Belos didn’t have that problem.
The Belo women wanted to get rid of Bruce. They couldn’t work with him. They also couldn’t just vote him out because he has an Immunity Idol. They were going to have to blindside him and it had to be slickest blindside known to man or else Bruce was going to sense something was up.
Though you never know with Bruce. He wasn’t the best at the game. He likes to talk big and then he sucks at the challenges. The contestants were all told that the Survivor Auction is back. They were going to need money and so they had to find bamboo shuts filled with cash hidden in the forest.
They could only carry one chute at a time. The others were all finding them. They were getting serious money while Bruce barely found a single one.
Not even when it was staring him in the face. He passed by so many of them that others started laughing at him. Dee would go on to win the search by having the most amount of money – nine hundred dollars. She was on high until she heard from Jeff that whoever has the most money at the end of the auction loses their voting power. And they all wanted the food.
Kendra used up her money to buy beer with pretzels. Kellie bought fries with a soda. Emily bought a charcuterie board with a glass of wine.
Dee used all nine hundred dollars to buy a milkshake. Katurah ended up buying two giant fish eyes. Hers and Emily’s food was covered until after they won and so Katurah turned down her eyes once she saw unappetizing it was. She was out of money, but Austin used his money to buy up the fish eyes. He didn’t hesitate to dig in because he was starving.
They were all starving before this. Austin ate up those fish eyes because he was hungry. He also used the last of his money to buy pizzas. Drew bought up candy. Julie bought up toothpaste with mouthwash. Jake bought up a chocolate cake that he got to share with two others.
He shared it with Julie and Bruce because he knew they were hungry. Kellie then used up her last remaining cash to buy the margarita with the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. That was the last item up. And Bruce was left with the highest amount of money at eighty dollars.
Which also meant Bruce lost his vote at the upcoming tribal council. This couldn’t have come at the worst time for him because everyone agrees that they want to get him out. The women’s alliance has some breakaways. Such as Emily. Emily built an alliance with Drew and Austin before this.
She stayed true to it. She went to tell them that no one was targeting them. She said everyone was set on Bruce. Drew was so happy that he started reaching out to Belos. He reached out to Katurah first because everyone knew she didn’t like Bruce.
Katurah would never be able to blindside Bruce because her hostility was that obvious. Still, she agreed to work with Drew in getting rid of Bruce. Then along came the challenge. Drew, Katurah, Dee and Emily agreed to sit out because Jeff had cut into the bag of rice for them.
He would have let it empty out if people didn’t come forward to sit out. Those four stayed out and then it was a test of strength for Immunity. It came down to Bruce and Julie. And no one wanted Bruce to win it because they didn’t want him to get additional immunity.
Sadly for everyone, Bruce won Immunity after Julie was forced to let go. Bruce was the easy target. The others were left scrambling to find a new one because they had to vote someone out tonight. The others played nice around Bruce. They all congratulated him. They then started to turn on Jake.
Jake was the original easy target of the episode. He has a Shot in the Dark. They accidentally talk him into realizing he was the target. He asked Bruce if he could have his Immunity Idol. Bruce said he’d think about it. And Jake started looking all around the island for another Idol hoping to save himself.
Jake wasn’t hiding what he was doing. It made Drew realize that maybe the better play would be to go after Kellie. He said Kellie was the brains behind her alliance with Bruce. He thought getting her out would be best for their game. Only the women in his alliance didn’t agree with him.
They were in the women’s alliance with Kellie. They didn’t want to get her out. They wanted to focus on Jake. Jake could feel the daggers coming for him and so he made a last pitch for himself at council. He threatened to pull out an idol.
And so Jake played his Shot in the Dark. It just didn’t work for him. He didn’t get as lucky as Kaleb did with that. There were also some votes for him and he got lucky for the first time because Drew managed to convince his alliance to vote out Kellie. Kellie was completely blindsided. She was actually crying when she left.
THE END!
