Cagayan Episode 10: Know When To Hold 'Em

Back at camp, Kass brags about how she knew Spencer had an idol - because she's seen what Spencer looks like when he thinks he's going home. She also calls him a "selfish college boy", which I think officially makes them even for the trash he talked about her after her flip. Although he's lost protection and his closest ally, Spencer knows there'll be opportunities to win something back...and one of them is gonna come tomorrow.

Woo comes back from treemail to play a prank on Trish, where he reveals the wallets of money under his shirt. Everyone knows what it means...the Survivor auction, and for Trish that means precious food. Tony however has his eye on the challenge advantage, as he doesn't want Spencer or Tasha to have it.

The auction sees Trish come away with popcorn, Jefra with Guacamole and Kass with a steak sandwich. Woo is able to get a great deal on ribs due to so few bids and shares an intimate moment with Jeff as he takes it down. Trish wonders why the others aren't

Woo gets a bargain

bidding, but eventually they admit what they're waiting for. When the advantage comes up, Jeff tells them if they both bid the maximum, they'll draw rocks. Hold on - didn't it used to be first come, first served? Tony and Spencer both bid 500, whereas Tasha chickens out. Tony wins the rock draw, leaving Spencer empty-handed and empty-stomached.

This ain't just a pool party

When Tony opens up the advantage, he's shocked to see it's not a challenge advantage at all but a clue to another idol. Ugh, enough with the idols already. Tasha floats in the water with the women, right in front of Tony. At this point, she *wants* him to think they've got a girl alliance...just because it's something that might stir shit up. Tony talks to Spencer about it and Spencer does his part too, letting him know that Jefra was talking about voting him out. According to Spencer, Jefra wanted to flip with Trish to take him out and then flip back. "I hate people like that" says Tony. Hang on a minute...

Don't get crabby!

Tensions rise in camp and Tony gets mad at Jefra over a dead crab...of all things. He goes out looking for the idol and finds it pretty quickly this time - he certainly has enough experience. What's he gonna do with it? Well, the first thing is show it to everyone as a subtle way to intimidate them into not voting for him.

Another challenge requiring you to dig deep

The immunity challenge involves having to dig some bags out of the sand, and then using the balls inside them to run a table maze. The digging part proves too hard for Kass and especially Trish. Tasha gets to the maze first, but Tony, Woo and Spencer aren't far behind. Tony tries an aggressive strategy (does he have any other?) of flipping the table and it doesn't work. Tasha works on her balls, but Woo catches her up. Not fast enough though...Tasha wins immunity again!

So with Tasha immune again, it seems clear that Spencer is the next target. But Tony isn't happy about losing another guy, so turns his attention to Jefra. He talks to Woo, who seems to be on the same page. So then Tony goes to Spencer, who goes to Tasha and tells her another "Survivor miracle" is about to happen. Just to make extra sure, Spencer decides to go looking for the idol. But that might've backfired when Tony finds out, as he's now seeing Spencer as a bigger threat.

It's a boy/girl thing...

Tony wears his idol to tribal council and tries to suss out whether Jefra really was turning on him or not. Probst expresses surprise that such a fractured five has managed to stay together, and Spencer points out how the chaos (the buzzword of the season) is great for him.

Kass votes for Spencer, saying she isn't gonna save him again. But it looks like someone else steps up to the plate as Jefra is blindsided. Wow, Tony...you just cannot sit still huh? With three lives left and just as many tribal councils, it's looking pretty definite that the cop will be sitting at the end now - it's just a question of whether he's burned more jury votes than he can afford.

STAR OF THE WEEK: TASHA FOX

Tasha and Spencer both played a part this week in changing their fortunes, but Tasha getting her third immunity win in a row tips it in her favour. She's certainly become a force to be reckoned with and has shown a remarkable amount of staying power.
