Survivor - Timbira Wins Immunity, Sansy Voted off

The episode starts off with the Timbira tribe members coming back from Tribal Council. Coach immediately says that Erinn would’ve gone, and says she’s very lucky to be around. The next day, Timbira are all together, and they talk about picking a leader, but still can’t decide between Brendan and Coach. Meanwhile, at Jalapao, Taj talks to Stephan about a cross-tribal alliance with them, Sierra, and Brennan. Stephen says he trusts her, so maybe we’ll see.

In the reward challenge, the tribe mates had to have three members carry bags on a pole in order to win. Taj, J.T., and Joe for Jalapao and Debbie, Brendan, and Tyson for Timbira volunteered. After Brendan, Tyson, J.T., Joe, and Debbie were eliminated, Taj won for her tribe. Their reward was a raid, allowing them to steal valuable items from the other tribe. The tribe sends Sierra to exile island, and Sierra sends Taj to go with her.

It’s the next day, and J.T, are at Timbira, and it seems they have taken Timbira’s beans and water container. At the Jalapao tribe, the Survivors talk about crazy Sandy, and Sydney emerges as the Tribe flirt, flirting with all of the younger guys, J.T., and Joe. Meanwhile, at Timbira, Tyson decides to goof off, making a joke of himself, walking around without pants, but he did have his junk covered this time. Erinn talks about how she doesn’t click with these people, saying it’s hard to deal with her bad breakup.

In the immunity challenge, teams had to run and collect puzzle pieces, and once they have all eight of them, put them on a table and twirl them around until they have solved the right phrase. Jalapao had a lead, until Sydney struggle with the knot untying. Finally, the teams were neck and neck solving the puzzle. However, it was Timbira who solved it first, and Timbira finally broke Jalapao’s winning streak, taking their first win since the first episode.

On Day 12, at the Jalapao tribe, it basically becomes a talk about whether to take out Sydney, who flirts her way through, or Sandy, the older lady. At tribal council, Sydney’s flirtatious moves become the talk of the night, and Sydney admits: “I even flirt with women” she says. At Tribal council, Sydney and Joe, surprisingly received one vote, with Joe receiving the vote from Taj. However, Sandy received five votes, and that was enough for Sandy to be voted off.

I believe this episode was fairly fine. It was decent, and didn’t make me completely upset at all. I really think that J.T. and Joe have the most strategic influence of Jalapao. This alliance of Taj, Sierra Stephen, and Brendan will probably end up crumbling, and I really hope Brendan realizes this was all a mistake, and soon ditches it. Survivor has never had the chance to make a cross-tribal alliance happen before a merge, and I don’t think it’ll happen the first time it’s ever attempted. I think Taj is putting a lot of seriousness into this alliance, and I think she’ll be screwed if it doesn’t work. I really hope Erinn pulls through, and does something drastic to her tribe, and gets Coach out. Coach wasn’t that arrogant this episode, but he’s still my least favourite, and I still want him out. I really like Sydney now, and want to see her flirt her way to the top anytime.
