Winners At War Episode 4: Long Walk To Freedom

Scolded like a schoolboy

Back from tribal, Adam describes himself as being "castrated" and is feeling very humbled. Ben is wary of Adam but doesn't want to give Rob and Parvati too much rope. Over on Dakal, they're all having a good time due to their winning streak. They can actually make out some figures on Edge of Extinction in the distance, which is kinda freaky.

Ethan pushed to the limit

The EoE players have a chance to earn a fire token...they have to make 20 trips up and down the mountain with logs. Even the first one leaves them panting, but Natalie is keeping a good pace. Ethan really starts struggling and needs a visit from the medic. After a rest, he soldiers on. Natalie is first to complete it, Amber follows and they both start crying. Danni gets it and the girls all accompany Ethan on his last trip. Great effort from all of them and some nice comradarie.

Adam is working his ass off at camp, which the tribe has noticed. He's also being careful not to give Rob any ammo to throw him under the bus, but he decides to just make some up. It works, and now Adam is Jeremy's main target.

Good little worker bee

Sarah is really bonding with Tyson. But the game is still being played, and Tyson makes a pitch to Sandra and Tony to get rid of the lower-threat players aka Yul's alliance. However Sandra isn't entertaining it, knowing that Tyson was targeting her earlier.

Victory out of reach

The immunity challenge is to pull a boat to a tower to retrieve keys, then solve a puzzle. Parvati suggests naming the bench after Sandra when she sits out again, and she rolls with it. When they get to the keys, Sophie and Denise jump first and miss. Nick and Kim both get keys. Adam gets it but falls awkwardly. Nick gets the third for Dakal and Adam gets his 2nd, but Parvati and Adam both miss multiple times...damn, it wasn't this difficult last time, was it? Nick takes the puzzle duties, having done it before on his season. Adam finally gets the third key and now Sele have a shot. Thanks to Rob and Michele on the puzzle, Sele get back into this, and are able to take the lead. Dakal have to take theirs apart...somehow Sele win immunity.

TnT: Could be an explosive duo

Tyson wants to target Nick, since he blew the puzzle. He thinks he's secured an easy vote, but Tony is worried. Wendell and Sophie confirm with Tony the real plan is Tyson, due to his connections on the other tribe. Tony wants to keep Tyson, and has support from Sarah and Kim. Sandra finds herself as the swing vote, and despite her issues with Tyson, she does see the logic in keeping him.

At tribal council, Yul talks about not drawing the lines and showing who is with who. Nick says he's sticking with his team after the swap. The players talk about being starstruck by their castmates, with Yul saying he expected Tony to be an asshole. Sarah says she already has a Sandra head on her mantle from Game Changers. Nick says Parvati was his former crush, and that it actually shakes his confidence a little bit being around great players.

Casting votes, Nick votes for Kim in case of an idol. But it's only 1 for Kim, 1 for Nick and the rest for Tyson. "Too easy, I should've seen it coming" he says, and heads off. He doesn't want to give his token to anybody, but decides on Nick for the laughs since he's his "hero". When he gets to Extinction, Tyson comments on how much firewood they have. Oh buddy, if only you knew!

STAR OF THE WEEK: ADAM KLEIN

After one of his worst episodes ever, Adam pivoted successfully and did damage control. Hmm, seems familiar. He even got to be a challenge hero for Sele.
