In tonight’s Survivor episode, they got rid of Kyle, but there was still tension back at the camp. Genieve knew some voted for her. The same goes for Teeny. They wanted to know who their enemies were and they knew they couldn’t just ask. They couldn’t appear to be vulnerable in a game like this.
They instead had to tamper down their curiosity in order to focus on gaining allies. Genieve later approached Andy. She apologized for targeting him. She said in her confessional that she appears as the big bad wolf and she thought by shrinking herself that she would appear less dangerous. And the funny thing is she never shrunk herself.
Genieve was still trying to manipulate people tonight. She told Andy that she just wants to survive. She told Teeny that Rachel needed to get taken out because she could beat everyone at the end. She said that as means of turning Teeny against Rachel and all it did was anger Teeny.
Teeny felt like Genieve told her that she couldn’t win the game by being herself. Genieve doesn’t see Teeny as a threat. Something Teeny wanted to change. She approached Rachel as well as Andy and they came up with the idea that they should target Genieve at the next tribal council.
Then there was the Reward Challenge. They had to do a series of complicated things just to enjoy a nice afternoon at the sanctuary. There was going to be Italian food there and most of these people have been living on rice.
They were starving for a feast. Genieve also wasn’t entirely wrong about Rachel. Rachel was a physical threat. She was in the lead for most of the challenge when Sam caught up to her. He was able to overtake her on the final obstacle. He won the Italian feast at the sanctuary. There will be letters from family there on top of the feast.
Sam also got to take two people with him to enjoy the reward. He chose Andy as his first person. Andy was friendly with everyone. He was secretly out to get Genieve only no one knows about that other than Rachel and Teeny.
Which could have made things awkward when Sam chose Genieve as the second person to go the feast. Sam choosing her made it seem like they were super close. Teeny got angry about how close they were. She started insinuating that they were a threat. Rachel then used the anger Teeny was stirring up to make her own game stronger.
Everyone that was left to make do with rice now has a reason to get rid of Sam. Genieve couldn’t rely on anyone other than Sam. Those two along with Andy was so busy reading their letters that they didn’t realize what was happening.
Teeny, Rachel, Sue, and Caroline formed an alliance. They built an all women alliance. They were going to get rid of Sam, Genieve, and then Andy. Andy was friends with these women. He didn’t offend them in any way. They just got made that he went to the sanctuary over them and so now he too was on the chopping block.
Teeny led the charge tonight. She was so angry about missing letters from her loved ones. She told everyone that Sam should have been strategic and chose one of them instead of Genieve.
She was more upset she wasn’t chosen, but she used what Sam did to paint him as the enemy. They considered getting rid of Andy last and he actually proved to be a bigger threat than they realized. Andy came up with a plan at the sanctuary. He called it “Operation Italy”. Andy, Sam, and Genieve wanted to get rid of Rachel.
They came up with the idea of a fake “idol”. Sam had an idol that was expired by now. He still gave it to Genieve and she refashioned it to look new. Andy then told everyone else that she has an idol. He also pretended like that tried to strongarm him into joining their alliance.
Andy was secretly trying to split the vote in the hope of getting rid of Rachel. The one thing he didn’t count on was that the ladies made a new alliance behind his back. And so everything came down to the Immunity Challenge.
The Immunity Challenge as always shifted the conversation. Rachel dominates as she always does at competitions. She was once again in the lead during the first half of the Immunity Challenge and no one caught up to her.
Rachel now has Immunity. With her off the table, Operation Italy have to come up with a new strategy. Andy was still pressuring the underdogs to split the vote. They even convinced Teeny that the fake idol was real. Genieve showed her a part of it and Teeny never got a chance to study it.
Things were a little tricky at tribal. Teeny hates Sam. She also hates Genieve. Genieve didn’t consider her threat. Both she and Sam wanted to get rid of Rachel. Rachel had Immunity.
Andy could shift with the wind. They all went into tribal not knowing who they could trust or what plan was in action. Sam and Genieve maintained the idea that Genieve does have an idol. They had everyone believe she just decided not to play it tonight. The vote was split. They followed Andy’s suggestion and it turns out Operation Italy remained steadfast because they outed Caroline tonight.
Caroline and Sue were in each other’s pocket. They were super close, but Andy betraying the majority might come back to bite him. They got rid of Caroline. They now needed to take down Rachel.
THE END!
