The aftermath of Nate’s departure
Now that the former Raro tribe members know that Jonathan has betrayed them, they are mad as hell. Pavarti openly discusses her disappointment and betrayal with Jonathan himself.
Going once, twice…
It’s time for the Survivor food auction, and the Survivors are each given $500 to use to purchase food. They can not share their food, but they can give each other money. Some of the dishes were covered so the Survivors would have to bet without knowing what was on the tray. Others were visible.
Jonathan pigs out…
Jonathan wins a mystery platter which turns out to be a hot dog, French fries, and beer. He accidentally spills some of his beer. Pavarti spends nearly all of her money on a slice of decadent chocolate cake and a bubble bath. Yul loans Becky money so that she can spend $620 on something that would “give you power in the game”.
Fourth time around
Becky’s power comes in the form of being allowed to send someone to Exile Island. When she picks Candice for the fourth time, I almost felt sorry for Candice… almost, but not quite!
Food and confessions
Yul admits to everyone that he has the immunity idol and even shows it to them. Ozzy spends $420 on some ice cream (a lot of it). Jonathan ends up with a pepperoni pizza and some mouthwash. Everyone else leaves hungry because the auction is over.
Obnoxious Jonathan
Back at camp, Jonathan continues to grate on people’s nerves by being totally obnoxious. His agitating behavior prompts Yul and the former Aitu members to chance the order of who will be voted off when. After all, they could vote off Jonathan and still retain a larger number than the former Raro tribe. Should the vote Jonathan out before Candice?
Off on Exile Island
Candice cries and whines on Exile Island. She tells us how much she misses Adam. I can’t help but remembering how she betrayed her tribe, and I’m sorry, but I couldn’t muster a shred of sympathy for her.
Immunity- up for grabs!
At this point in the game, the Survivors realize how valuable the immunity idol is. They compete in a challenge that is a combination of trivia and math. For once, the former Aitu tribe members were not in their element. Three people moved on to the final round of this competition. Pavarti, Jonathan, and Nate were left standing.
And the winner is…
As the remaining three Survivors raced through an obstacle course to untie ropes and raise a flag, Adam pushed way ahead. When he finished the challenge first, he casually and cockily raised his flag before Jeff put the immunity necklace around his neck.
The plot…
The tribe members continue to try to convince the others, especially Yul, to vote off Jonathan next. Yul confesses to Jenny that he thinks maybe he should do it because it would help him gain favor with people when they are on the jury later – he would have a better chance of getting their vote than if they kept Jonathan around.
What’s for dinner?
As Pavarti, Candice, and Adam cuddle in the tent, Jonathan brings home dinner. The former Aitu tribe members feast on fish. Candice wakes up, notices the other tribe members eating, and stalks angrily over.
“Since when do you guys not share food?” She accused. This began the battle between Jonathan and Candice.
Candice also went on to say, “All these people said they don’t like you!” about the Aitu members. The argument was a heated one.
Goodbye kiss
At tribal counsel, the vote is anybody’s guess. Will it be Jonathan or Candice? Adam wears his immunity necklace, safe from the vote as the decision is made for Candice to leave the island. She and Adam start kissing goodbye, and the moment is more nauseating than sweet.
Jeff’s wise words
Jeff said it all in his closing words, “A kiss was nice. Maybe if it was love, he’d have given you the immunity necklace.”
