Winners At War Episode 7: Yul Be Sorry

The Queen abdicates her throne

Parvati and Sandra arrive at Edge of Extinction as Sandra recaps how she was voted out. But she quickly decides she's not staying, and gives everyone a hug before pulling up the flag, telling them to get Denise for her. I support her decision, she's not gonna win the challenge so what did Extinction really offer her? And that's probably gonna be the last time we ever see the Queen in this game. Whoever the next two-time winner is, Sandra will have no say in it.

Yul is concerned about how Wendell was behaving at tribal and decides to talk to him about it. Wendell apologizes to Michele, but then starts acting condescending towards her. Michele is now annoyed at Wendell, especially as she gave him a fire token to try and repair their relationship.

The chase is on

Ethan talks with Parvati, saying he doesn't think this is good for his body, and gets some encouragement. Then there's a note telling them some fire tokens are hidden on the trails. They all take off, Rob in the lead, but he tires himself out and Tyson overtakes him. Tyson nabs one, but nobody seems to know where the other three are. Flashbacks reveal that Rob got all three of them.

Dakal are making fun of Tony for the way that he runs. Tony is talking up Denise as a threat after her big move, but Jeremy still knows the real threat is Tony. Meanwhile Kim is starting to gravitate more towards Jeremy and Denise, busting out her favorite word....options.

Smirking Sophie watches the others fight

Yara finish up their leftovers as Adam and Ben are bickering over where the idol is. Adam is sure that Sarah or Ben have it and is convinced their search attempts are fake. Adam tells his suspicions to Sophie (the real idol holder) and she rats him out, which leads to him having to apologize to the people who he's pretty sure are lying to him.

Deja vu

The immunity challenge is to fill up a saucer full of water, which offers redemption for Nick, whose Jabeni tribe gave one of the worst performances ever in it. Right away, Michele falls over...not a great start. Sele lose some water, Dakal spill also. Yara are more careful but are going very slow. Despite almost being lapped, the strategy works and they had enough to drop their bag with only one trip. Dakal and Sele also move onto the puzzle. Sophie and Ben knock it out quickly to get them another win. It's now Jeremy and Densie vs Michele and Wendell, and it's a very close one, with Wendell trying to get Jeff's attention. Dakal win it by about a second and Nick is devastated.

The man with the plan(s)

Yul and Nick are both annoyed by Wendell's showboating, thinking he lost it for him and agree to vote him out. Wendell knows Yul is coming for him and tells Michele to vote Yul out. Yul proposes a plan to try and get ahold of Wendell's fire tokens, which makes Michele realize Yul is gonna be a threat going forward.

At tribal council, Yul says he's told more lies this season already than he did in his first one. Wendell hints that he doesn't want to play with Michele and then is again condescending correcting her when she takes offence to that. Nick says if he is voted out he would still work with them if he came back. Wendell disagrees, and Yul sits somewhere in the middle.

"YUL be on the Edge of Extinction tonight" says Wendell as he casts his vote. It ends up being 3-1 for Yul to go and now the purge of pre-HvV players is complete. He splits his tokens between Sarah and Sophie. Not gonna lie, I'm a little salty new school have been so dominant...but they still have some players worth watching, so we'll see how the game goes from here.

STAR OF THE WEEK: MICHELE FITZGERALD

I really don't know how she wasn't the target tonight, but her social game obviously saved her. Now she can probably slip back into the shadows after the merge and has a shot at going far.
