Alicia's review of tribal council is that Christina is dumb (lay off her for once, geez) and Sabrina is a big threat because of how well-spoken she is. Alicia thinks she's controlling everything. Delusional as usual.

| The box of power! |
Sabrina and Alicia go to fetch tree mail and yell as soon as they see the Sprint logo. They take it back to camp and see messages from Sabrina's brother, Alicia's sister, Chelsea and Christina's dads, Kim's sister, Kat's cousin and Tarzan's wife. Sabrina thinks Tarzan and Christina need this the most (Tarzan because he's been in a 30-year marriage, and Christina because her dad has kidney problems and might not have long left to live), so she's playing this next challenge for them.

| Chelsea shows her softer side |
At the challenge, everyone greets their loved ones. Kat gets particularly excited and is even crawling across the floor at one point and "speaking her own language". Tarzan receives his wife Terri and talks about the "quantum entanglement" the two of them have. Jeff reveals the loved one will be competing in the challenge with them, and the two of them will have to navigate a rope maze to win the chance to spend more time together.
You'd think Sabrina and her athletic-looking brother Justin would be the favorites, but the two of them barely get started. Kat, Chelsea and Kim are the frontrunners for the competition, and it ends with Kat and her cousin Robby winning out and celebrating outrageously. She has to pick two people and picks...Kim and Alicia. Really? Haven't they gone on enough rewards?
So the three of them all tuck in to their meal and tell their family members about how the game has gone so far. The three of them are confident they're gonna be the final three. Even on a reward, Kim is strategizing, telling her sister she thinks her best chance is the other two because she thinks she can beat them.

| A model of success |
Back at camp, Sabrina is pissed that Kat didn't choose Tarzan and Christina, and saw it as a selfish move. It is in fact reason enough to vote Kat off, for her. Amazingly Tarzan disagrees with this, saying Kat's not a "thinker". Dude, you shouldn't be fighting any name that isn't your own at this stage.
Chelsea is totally down for doing Kat next, but when Kim gets back, she says she wants Sabrina out instead. Neither are favorable prospects at the end: Sabrina because she's smart, and Kat because they know Troyzan is rooting for her. Kim is starting to rethink her strategy of not coming off as a threat in immunity challenges, and decides going to tribal council without the necklace is just too risky.

| Over troubled waters: Jeff turns the screw |
The challenge sees them suspended over water holding onto a rope. Jeff is turning a crank that slowly lowers them, making the challenge more difficult as it goes along. Sabrina drops out of the challenge first, giving Alicia a big old grin. Tarzan and Alicia drop out next, followed by Chelsea. Christina's doing good, but then she steps down. We're one hour in now, and it's between Kat and Kim. Kim is calm and collected. Kat is frustrated because Kim wins everything. In the end, Kat's fingers are hurting too much and she drops out, giving Kim immunity. Kat rebuffs Kim's attempts for a high five and enters a sulk. She later says she was "embarrassed" she lost to someone older than her. Wow.
Alicia has had a change of heart, after seeing how badly Sabrina did at the challenge and how well Kat did. Kim is still trying to get Sabrina out though, and talks to Tarzan about it. "Alright, boss lady" he slyly tells her. Can Chelsea and Alicia win Kim over? She's not budging.
At tribal council, Kat comes under fire for some of her selfish behaviour over the past few days, starting with the decision to pick Kim and Alicia on the reward, and also snubbing Kim at the immunity challenge. Kat talks about how cool and fun a blindside is, a comment she's bound to regret later.
 |
| Kat looks confused, again |
The votes come in, and it's a brutal one. Kat gets the blindside she wanted, but it's her that goes, not Sabrina. The shell-shocked girl grabs her torch and cries on her way out and through her final words. So, for once Kim didn't get what she wanted...and she's starting to break hearts. Could she be losing her grip on this game? We're so close to the end now, it's going to be tough.
STAR OF THE WEEK: KAT EDORSSON
Kat was kind of a brat in places this week, but I still felt bad for her. She's generally pretty harmless and has contributed many hilarious moment throughout the season and tonight at the reward. Losing my two favourites back to back sucks, particularly as I didn't see this one coming at all and thought she was good for the final three.
