Winners At War Episode 3: Bunkerin' Down

After being awoken by Rob, Adam says that the old schoolers are running the show, and that Rob's need to be in control all the time is gonna be his undoing. Did this kid seriously just give strategy advice to Boston Rob? Yeesh. Adam tells Denise he wants to target Parvati, and gets Michele and Jeremy on board too. Adam also goes to Ethan, which he even says he knows the viewers are gonna tear him apart over ...and as predicted, Ethan doesn't like it.

Fun Tony impressions
Sandra and Nick set up a net, as Tyson decides he needs to make a move to get off the bottom. He goes to Yul and Sophie and proposes voting out Sandra. The next day, Dakal have caught a shark, which Tony grabs by the tail and runs around with. Yul decides to tell Sandra that Tyson is coming for her, and now she wants vengeance.

Danni goes spearfishing on Extinction, and gets one. They also get a clue to a tree, which they find...and there's a box which requires a combination to open. Amber then runs off on her own as the others are guessing, thinking it's the numbers on a crate. However, when she enters, it doesn't open. Natalie then figures out it's the seashells on the string, smashes the others so no-one else can get it, and waits until the others go away to open it up. 3 for 3 in advantages for the Sri Lankan! The advantage is a clue to a vote steal which is hidden at the other tribes' camp.
Queen of Extinction

Sarah turns on the stealth
Sarah finds a note in her bag from Natalie...makes sense to choose her, given her history. She decides to go for it but recruits Tony for help first. He just puts charcoal on her which isn't that helpful (and uncomfortably close to blackface). Sarah sneaks into Sele camp and clunks around with the torches for a while, as Ben stirs. However, he manages to make it out with the goods in the end.

The immunity challenge is that Ninja Warrior one from Ghost Island where you parkour across ramps, get a bag with a ladder, try to hook a ball and string, then climb up ramps to a puzzle. Most get the ramps on the first try but Sele have to wait for Michele. Tony climbs the ladder (good that he got in some practice), whilst firefighter Jeremy does it for Sele. It's now Wendell and Rob tossing, and Wendell gets it first. Ben takes over for Rob, but Dakal are on the puzzle now. Sarah and Sophie take their time as Sele are finally climbing now. Rob and Michele close the gap quickly. It goes back and forth as Dakal struggle with their last piece, Sarah even knocking it out. Dakal win a true nailbiter that comes down to seconds.

We'll see who blinks first
The mood at Sele camp is tense after the loss, with nobody wanting to make the first move. Jeremy goes first and Ben follows, and reaffirm the Parvati plan. Adam tries to convince Rob that the vote is Parvati, and he seems annoyed by it. Rob goes to Jeremy and Michele and reveals that Adam spilled the whole plan. Jeremy and Michele now agree to take the vote into their own hands, and that might mean Ethan or it might mean Adam, who a lot of the tribe are pissed off at now that they know he threw them under the bus.

At tribal council, Jeremy says they're not cohesive anymore. Adam says there's no clean vote since everybody has different connections. Jeff asks Michele how do you figure out who you can trust, and she says it's like dating. Parvati knows she's a huge target. Adam brings up Rob's statue, which seems to annoy Rob, but when Adam argues it's common knowledge anyway, he fires back sarcastically with "oh so you're helping me?" Ben gives a bunker analogy to explain the alliance structure.

I waited 16 years for this?
The votes are read...1 vote Parvati, 3 votes Adam...but the majority go with their own plan and blindside Ethan, leaving both Adam and Rob wondering what the fuck happened. Ethan heads out and passes on his fire token to Parvati. He's a good sport on Extinction, telling Amber how his alliance with her husband didn't go so well.

Well Adam got a huge slap back to reality, he should've known Boston Rob would be far too stubborn to just take an L. And it's a rare blindside for the Godfather too...how long will people just dance around him without taking him out?

STAR OF THE WEEK: MICHELE FITZGERALD
Well, she wanted to prove herself and I think she just did. Her and Jeremy took control and made the best decision for them, whilst leaving everybody else's guns pointing at eachother.
