jury and his strategy was to be himself. sash says he is proud of how he played the game and played differently to them and says it comes down to strategy. and he says his friendships where more important than the alliances. brenda goes first and says she enjoyed playing with sash but says being a backstabber could be a problem with the jury but says it was part of strategy she says to chase about the emotional attachment and says it was supprising the blindside but he admited to loyality and revealing what happened. brenda tells sash that he could have given the idol. marty says there are good reasons for the final 3 to be there he asks chase who is the dumbest person he can pick anyone in the room other than marty (which is not that fair as he is the answer is chases opinion) sash is said as a smart player he says fabio has grown the most. holly asks chase the best strategical move on his own. he says it was voting out shannon as it was about trust. she asks fabio about his immunity wins where too litttle to late fabio thinks it wasn’t. sash says he lied to her last night by voting for each other. jane asks sash first and calls him a river rat and other things that aren’t fair (fabio laughs). chase was called for being fun chase wants to use the money for hunt the cure for cancer and care for his mum fabio wants to take care of his mum and dad. benry congratulates them and has no question for chase and congrats fabio on his immunity wins, sash says to a question about trying to take him out. dan tells sash that he is a liar and a phony, he calls chase paranoid and he owns up to it but it doesn’t help the situation. kelly says they stuck in when she couldn’t she asks sash about outwiting everyone he admits it was making many alliances and hurt many people (kelly wasn’t expecting the answer). naonka says she was close to them it was a pleasure fabio says family matters the most. alina says fabio is the surfer dude but doesn’t want to give a million dollars she asks sash to explain his strategy or why to vote. sash says he wasn’t in on everyvote and calls chase wishywashy. alina is supprised by chases strategy but he claims about playing with people he trust and it did hurt him the game after an argument between fabio and chase. the jury votes. marty votes for fabio to win alina supprisingly votes for chase (considering she is the only one not close to him to vote for him). in the end sash gets no votes in a close battle fabio gets (marty, naonka, kelly benry and dans votes) to win over chase who gets (brenda, alina, holly and janes) votes in a controversal win due to the quitters making the difference in the end. chase is stunned when he is ahead in the count but isn’t supprised to fall short. fabio is the youngest win at the time. at the reunion a lot of people are happy at fabios victory. fabio says the name stuck (he was jud before the show) they ask about him being a goofball he says his family is quite artistic he is a model outside of the show. chase was asked about his strategy of being wishy/washy which is not the best way and they ask about the attraction with brenda but they are just good friends. sash is asked about the fact his game crumbled when he lost brenda, naonka and kelly. he heard that brenda told naonka a big plan to take out sash eventually she knew she wouldn’t get the idol she didn’t want to scramble either because of the trust. jeff apologies to sash who he thought would be the first out not a finalist. chase’s dream appartently is to go play music in nashvile and than sings a song at the reunion show. we talk to jimmy j is asked about how tough it is and he says the conditions where the problems and said they held up better at 67 (3rd oldest player in the shows history i think) he is a big fan of the show and really wanted to do it and survivor saved his life during the physicals due to blocked artiries but got it fixed and enjoyed the experience we also hear from a famous gridiron (american football) person terry bradshaw. we also hear from holly about dans shoes which she burried because of jealously she presents dan new shoes as an apology. dan talks a lot about his money but says he is ok. jane is called one of the most popular this season and is stunned at how fit she is at her age and admited to learning fire because of what jeff said they also ask about the amnosity with marty she said it was because of the fluff off due to over playing early. they aren’t friends now. they talk to naonka as the seasons villian she wasn’t sure how she’d act as her strategy made her look a villian she admited she thought it was because of the leg incident due to the fact that she was just another competitor kelly b says it was fair. naonka says her job security was threatened but it’s a reality show and nothing to do with her real life she said she had enough is why she quit. naonkas mum is not supprised at her daughters effort and encouraged her to play like that a bit. in the future jury people can be removed if they quit in the jury phase. the fanfavourite award by the biggest margin and most votes jane wins it. shannon won’t apologise for his comments about sash. wendy says her husband was stunned the reason she was first off. jimmy t explains his experience in a weird way. alina loved being in the game. we find out that boston rob and amber have had a 2nd baby (which is barely relevant to the show). the next season is redemption island which is a chance to comeback after being voted out without much of a preview though. they use cirie and rupert as examples (who are in the audience) of how it works.

next time rob and russell are back and 16 new players including one of my most hated ever battle it out for the money.

Marty even says there is duplicity at this point. marty than tells jane to vote brenda. jill keeps immunity and in the end it is a 3-3-2 vote between marty and kelly b tied with brenda only getting 2 votes and marty doesn’t play his idol. on the revote kelly b is blindsided 5-1 (with jane voting for marty). laflor than watch espadas tribal in a storm. chase says its hard to watch the other tribe naonka is not looking at all. holly would have given up immunity to have the feast. dan says nothing bothers him except being voted out. yve tries to throw dan under the bus. benry says some of the tribe are more physical. dan says he is a physical liabillity in the mud. yve says she gives 100 percent and that dan is liabillity. alina says it is a fair statement that one of them will be going home out of dan or yve. in the end yve is voted out 6-1 over dan.

amazing race 21 episode 3

9 teams stay in indonesia leaving surabaya for antika java padang resturant and the clue indicates a u-turn ahead. the lead teams are a bit lost finding taxis so they work together. no one is having any luck with taxis but find some eventually. josh/brent think there are the alpha teams and the other teams who will win if they do their best. its a little easier getting cabs now. the clue at the resturant is a roadblock of serving 20 plates of food all at once ballancing them if they drop any they must try again. lexi takes the roadblock in the lead. natalie/nadiya are a bit lost. brent, jaymes and ryan take the roadblock. caitlin/britany are worried about the emotions coming out. lexi drops some the first time. jaymes appartently had his first job at a pancake house. ryan and jaymes do a lot better early brent fails though. jaymes/james and abbie/ryan get the clue quickly sending them to a train station to take a train to bangil. james/abba also pass natalie/nadiya while lexi finishes. as does james/abba and josh/brent putting natalie/nadiya dropping 1st to 6th quickly. the next train to bangil is 736am and the lead 5 teams make it as the all-girl teams struggle natalie is doing the task. gary/will are only just leaving the previous pitstop but are worried about being at the back of the pack. natalie/nadiya finish still in 6th as rob takes teh roadblock. brittany finishes 7th and rob finishes before gary/will even get there. at the train station the lead 5 teams board the train but natalie/nadiya just miss it the next train isn’t for a while putting them over 3 hours behind as its not till 1055am. so the lead teams decide not to u-turn each other at this point as they are at the front of the pack but some are worried that james/abba will u-turn someone. the clue on the train is the detour “egg head” requires teams to have their head lit on fire to cook some eggs which is disgusting and dangerous. “lions head” requires teams to join a japanese procession in a costume and parade while stopping to preform some steps. most teams choose lions head except josh/brent at the front of the pack. the lead teams get to bangil and get into rickshaws. the carnival is quite interesting where they do the detour. the lions head where quite heavy but teams don’t struggle much. the procession isn’t impossible while josh/brent start the egg task. abbie/ryan are 1st to finish the detour sending them to a confusing street where the u-turn is. jaymes/james are 2nd trey/lexi are 3rd and james/abba 4th all close. the teams finally board the 2nd train and are worried about being at the back of the pack. no one at the front of the pack use the u-turn its a blind u-turn so its annyomous the pitstop is a high school in bungil. where abbie/ryan finish 1st at the pitstop in a close race ahead of trey/lei winning a trip to fiji isles. a footrace for 3rd sees jaymes/james get it. josh/brent don’t u-turn and finish 5th before the 2nd train arrives. the 2nd train teams choose lions head mostly as gary/will fall behind due to being at the back of the train. money issues hurt the trailing teams. natalie/nadiya are 6th to finish the detour ahead of rob/kelly but not by much. natalie/nadiya don’t u-turn but rob/kelly u-trun gary/will (which is a failsafe if they fall any further behind). caitlin/brittany get the clue to the u-turn ahead of gary/will but the girls get very lost with a bad rickshaw. gary/will waste the u-turn on rob/kelly (who where the team who u-turned them). caitlin/britany are way off course though finding the egg detour very lost and get back into a rickshaw (appartently they ended up also at the pitstop at some point as well during this time). caitlin/britany are very lost with their rickshaw leading to a close race against the guys and the girls are eliminated.

she is used to people coming to her without doing anything. alina and kelly b find a cryptic clue to the idol which makes no sense as they are harder to figure out this season. alina is not happy to find the clue with kelly b. treemail indicates the first challenge is confusing. jimmy j know he needs to improve and says he doesn’t think he’d win a million dollars but would like some person to win from their tribe which excites them. at the challenge they explain he goes by fabio and kelly s goes by purple kelly. tyronue says they can’t take it easier on people. the first part is porurring water and than angle it to get puzzle pieces and than solve a puzzle tribe who finishes first wins immunity. the older tribe doesn’t use the madilion of power despite it giving them a bucket lead. the pouring part isn’t too hard but the younger tribe starts bette but the older tribe keeps pace between holly and naonka on the pouring the younger tribe gets the pieces first but not much difference its the woman on the puzzle for both tribes it is close going into the puzzle. the young tribe gets off to a quick start and wins convicingly despite an early mistake sending the older tribe (espada) to tribal. brenda says she would have used the medalion of power. preparing for tribal the older tribe aren’t happy to lose jimmy t is not that happy. jimmy t wants to vote jimmy j and doesn’t want to be ignored and he needs to calm down (his words not mine). jimmy j says its him or wendy as the weakest. holly is worried about the delima about who to vote. wendy is nervous and concerned that she will go which is true. they discuss keeping the tribe strong as important. marty does not like jimmy j. at tribal they ask about first impressions jane thinks she is a hillybilly but jill says she is a mygver and good. jimmy t says the first moments where important for impressions. jimmy j says people could be annoyed at him as leader but could be a help. marty says people got to be careful about being preceived as a leader. more than half the tribe are concerned about going home. holly is worried about the alliance. wendy thinks the lack of connection with the tribe was the cause. yve says she never asks a woman an age nor does tyronue desipte wendy thinking that. before the vote wendy gives a speech that doesn’t help her chances and is voted out 9-1 over yve (weird throw away vote)?.

next time holly wants to quit shannon goes way too far and brenda a big threat.

about russell considering her a threat. russell wants to take sandra to the 3 and tells parvati he wans to vote jerri which is the oppposite of what he said to jerri. parvati is more concerned about sandra. jerri says about the vote is important and she has spent time thinking about whats happening. sandra says she goes to russell to plead her case about not winning. russell says the decision making is the most important now. parvati fells vulnerable because she doesn’t have immunity. jerri says her plead is that parvati is a huge threat. parvatis case is about loyality to redem himself and they admit that they have been protecting each other. russell knows it is a different experience having the power. in the end jerri is blindsided 3-1 over parvati who admits she will probablly vote for russell in her final words and is disappointed about being blindsided. the final 3 are estatic about making the end sandra is a bit more nervous about mising home. the next morning they enjoy

russells hat in a mean gesture. at the final tribal opening statements sandra starts saying that she has to survive since her alliance was gone and how she tried to get rid of russell and how she did well by herself. russell says the game is not really about luck and he thinks people think he did something wrong but played a strong game. parvati she knows that she had a big target and had to form alliances and keep russell was part of it. colby goes first with the question asking russell about luck and than calls him delusional. parvati is asked about strategical plays she says avoiding being voted out as a big target and talks about her connection with amanda as well as the idol play. coach tells russell about being a small man and critiercises his speach he says sandra was useless in challenges and not a good player. parvati impressed coach with her effort. his vote is up for grabs. amanda asks sandra about strategy and says her plan was to make sure that russell wasn’t in the end and couldn’t believe they didn’t listen russell gets into an argument. courtney congruatlates the final 3 she is proud of parvatis effort and is happy with sandras effort as well she says loyality is important. jt says that russells strategy was bad because he cost him the game by respecting the gameplay but admits his strategy didn’t get respect. parvati says the difference between her and sandras game was how she was always on the defence. sandra says the challenges where her weakness. sandra says she would have got rid of the idol before he gave it to russell. danielle congrats them but is annoyed at russell for his lack of jury managemnet he says wouldn’t change anything and it doesn’t help. jerri says she is now undecided and asks about what changed he says it would be a bad move taking someone who made no enermies parvati says it was because russell wanted her on the jury to vote for him. sandra is asked about being blindsided. candice tells russell about his dirty lies. parvati is also critiercised for her game and is not happy. she says its about how you treat people. rupert says russell lied a lot which he thinks is easy and says he should not be proud. sandra is told that he should have listened to her. parvati is called a strong player and deserves to be there. the jury get ready to vote. jerri is now a swing and votes for parvati. candice votes for sandra to win. danielle votes for parvati because of having to deal with russell. courtney votes for sandra due to their friendship. coach votes for parvati who he says he was wrong about. rupert votes for sandra for the 2nd time in their survivor history. in the end sandra gets all the heroes votes and courtneys to win 6-3-0 over parvati and russell becoming the first 2 time winner. next up the reunion show where sandra she is the best player ever which parvati says is logoical and disagrees with that. russell does not think that sandra is the best player ever and thinks the game she didn’t win any category that mattered this leads to a booing and he calls for a rule change that america gets a share of the votes and thinks parvati should have won. sandra evn says the only people who like russell are his family. sandra shows her strategy is learning from every season. they ask tom about how sandra wins he replies ther is luck, strategical and stregnth needed. russell refers to how he played back to back and refers to the jt move (which is probablly the dumbest ever) and this lead to a fight. russell acctually helps by saying they will have the move of history. they talk about sandra’s husband fighting in afganhistan. parvati says the reason she lost was because of the preception of being russells coattail rider. she is tied parvati for challenge wins in 2nd behind colby. russell figured something happened to the hat but it wouldn’t have helped. russell says he only played one time beacuse of the 78 days out of 98 (only 20 days off at this time). rob gets involved in the argument by saying they would have teamed up saying that russell doesn’t play to win they suggest what will happen in 2 seasons time rob v russell. tyson is asked about his dumb move changing the season it does haunt him saying it was risky. jt’s move is discussed and saying that the odds where against him. the nomminness for dumbest move are over the top considering colby taking the wrong person to the end against the other 4 moves (eriks giving up immunity was the only one not from a player this season). the winner of the award is not erik supprisingly but jt. james is called a disappointment and a suprise in terms of his attitude. amanda again comes to his defence. rupert is asked about how it compares to past experience he says his injury was key and says it was tough. colby says he had a feeling it would be tough physically and he didn’t enjoy. amanda is asked about the killer instinct lacking as one of four players to make the end twice and one of two of them to not win (russell being the other now). stephenie was considered a strong woman but never caught up but she is greatful to be back because of her social issues. cirie is asked about the target she had and she couldn’t have done anything except maybe pay tom a million dollars (what a joke). coach is asked about his emotional breakdown and he learnt about how things changed for him. we find out that rob and amber have now got a child. the fan favourite award is down to russell v rupert and russell wins the fan favourite award for the 2nd time in a row 100000 dollars is his. jerri is proud of how

Art takes the roadblock and fails the first attempt only getting 1 chicken and falls off many times the course while getting the 2nd but gets the third before any team shows up but can’t do the jump. vanessa/ralph are having trouble with cabs. teams are pretty lost at this point. art gets it still way ahead sending them to the umeda sky building and where the detour clue is. vanessa has to do the roadblock despite her injury due to having to go into the final leg even brendon has to do it for the same reason. rachel (of rachel/dave takes the roadblock). vanessa’s injury doesn’t help her with the task with brendon gets 2 chickens quickly but no one is doing well at the task rachel gets 1 before vanessa but brendon gets 3 quickly rachel gets 2 before vanessa has any. brendon/rachel get the clue 2nd but rachel/dave aren’t far behind with vanessa/ralph a long way back even though vanessa has 1. vanessa’s injury makes ralph consider taking the penalty but she won’t give up and gets the 2nd chicken despite the pain and gets it but still hasn’t jumped. meanwhile the other teams find the clue at the observatory which is the detour of “bingo shout out” pick up sushi and put it on a bingo card and once they have them in order they must eat it all to receive their clue. “photo cut out” requires getting locals to pose for a photo after 10 they get a clue. art/jj take the sushi. rachel/dave are a little lost as are brendon/rachel don’t realise its one floor down. vanessa is still in pain but narrowly fails but than gets it. rachel/dave take the photo task. brendon/rachel do the sushi although rachel/daves bag is left open causing problems leading to a big fight. vanessa/ralph catch up as teams struggle to get cabs vanessa/ralph take the sushi. it is noisy the sushi resturant which makes it hard its confusing some of the words at the task. rachel/dave do the photos but its not easy to get people into it. art/jj are well ahead on the sushi compared to brendon/rachel who just starting while vanessa/ralph are lost. rachel/dave are getting the photo done quicker. rachel/dave finish the detour in 1st sending them to the pitstop osaka castle with a good lead. art/jj finish the detour in 2nd place. rachel is getting stressed at the sushi allowing vanessa/ralph to catch up. rachel/dave win their record equaling 7th first place (only the third team to do it in a season only one more team has done it since) there prize is a trip to new zelland. art/jj are a little more confused at the castle. brendon/rachel finish the detour in 3rd ahead of vanessa/ralph. art/jj are a little lost at the castle finding the pitstop. vanessa/ralph finish the detour before anyone else gets to the pitstop causing a closer race for last. the other two teams are close to each other a bit lost as vanessa/ralph arrive at the castle but its too late for vanessa/ralph who are eliminated.

why the vote is different she says the vote is all over the board. coach says the tribe is more divided than ever and explains the divide he says tyson bridged the gap but russell and danielle disagree. danielle says people can have different opinions even on the same tribe. rob says the tribe is not unified russell says he had to make the move for his alliance parvati says people are angry. coach says that alliances will tear the tribe apart rob says about that. russell says voting him wasn’t keeping the tribe strong either. rob and russell have an argument at tribal about loyality. coach says he wants them to put their self interest aside and vote for the good of the tribe. jerri knows she is in the middle and says there are positives and negatives for both sides. in the end coach votes for courtney and jerri votes for rob sending rob home 4-3-1.

animal tf story the new cub

today is world lion day so i thought i’d right a tf story.

it was approaching the day that a lionness was about to give birth to a cub but there where concerns about it as the pride didn’t have many females yet in the new lion enclosure at a wildlife resort where people can get close to animals but not enter the enclosure but one girl annie had secretly been getting in there for a couple of hours until she was caught her parents and the owners didn’t like this but secrelty the lions did and planned to makee annie the new cubs sister even if the new cub was male. annie snuck in as she usually did under the light of a full moon when the pregnant lionness asked her to follow her to the water this was unusual as she had been told many times that the water could be harmful to humans but never told why she put her face in the water and drank it without hesitation then the lionnesss gave birth to a healthy female cub annie smiled and than looked and saw a tail growing from behind her a lionness cub tail her body changed quickly into that of a cub the female and her lover than came over and welcomed the new cubs annie forgot she was ever human and no one would rember her as such the waters power is under the light of a fullmoon can change a person into a lion but if the moon is not full the change is delayed till it is.

the rules are pretty normal the express pass is back which is allowed to be used till the 8th leg. the first challenge is a word puzzle to name their first destination taipei taiwan the last team to do this task will recieve a penalty called the hazard. the scramble for umbreals not easy. it is hard to get the letters right. andy/tommy are 1st to get it supprisingly than amani/marcus followed by liz/marie than ethan/jenna. jeremy/sandy get it next than ernie/cindy the flights are china airlines or eva air (with china airlines being 20 minutes earlier) ron/bill get it next than bill/cathi and than lawence/zac meanwhile andy/tommy stop at a gas station for directions. its between justin/jennifer versus kaylani/lisa to avoid the penalty with justin/jennifer avoiding it. kaylani/lisa will get the penalty and stop at the gas station that the guys stopped at and drop their passport on the ground and accidently leave it when they realise its gone. only bill/cathi liz/marie are on the 2nd flight with kaylani/lisa who are almost eliminated due to the passport problem. kaylani/lisa head to lax and hope somebody picked it up luckily someone does find it because they will be elminated otherwise twitter is what resuces them. teams also recognise ethan/jenna from survivor and some people think its greedy they admit they got a target. it turns out they had talked to andy/tommy earlier in the day. the clue sends them to a commerical district by bus and look for a bilboard bil/cathi fall behind of the 2nd flight while marcus lies about his occupation. looking up at the commerical district to find a clue is not easy as its in chinese some teams just go round randomly jenna says that everything is in the colors some teams go past it literally. amani/marcus find it first but don’t think its right several teams follow the wrong signs justin/jennifers relationship is in trouble amani/marcus figure it out still in 1st with ron/bill and justin/jennifer also figuring it out they go to the next destination confuscious temple ernie/cindy and jeremy/sandy figure it out as well as the 2nd bus arrives but both all girl team walk pass it while bill/cathi get lost. andy/tommy figure it out next as does ethan/jenna some teams take cabs others take the subway. the next clue is the roadblock of learning a saying from a telephone and than repeating it word for word to a monk. sandy, cindy, amani and jennifer take the roadblock for the lead teams i can’t tell out of ron/bill whose doing it ethan takes the roadblock. its tricky to remeber it takes a few attempts ethan even adds an s while sandy mises a word as does jennifer its quite tricky. cindy gets it 1st and travel to a river side park jennifers not far behind leading to a big cheer from justin. andy/tommy turn up at this point tommy takes it sandy gets it at this point. at this stage the girl teams figure it out at the same time the confusicious temple clue while bill/cathi are hopelessly lost. zac takes the roadblock for his team ethan gets it next. the next task is joining a dragon boat race team with one paddling and the other using a drum. some teams than get the roadblock with ron/bill slipping quite a bit in the rankings but the first flight teams all finish before the girl teams show up. teams start doing the dragon boat task ernie/cindy are 1st to get the pitstop clue at a shrine. ernie/cindy win the express pass for 1st place with jeremy/sandy and justin/jennifer getting the next clue not long after. kaylani/lisa get the clue in 9th and are sent to their hazard going to a shop mall to do a bungee jump into the mall. meanwhile liz is still doing the roadblock but are still ahead of bill/cathi. more teams start the dragon boat task as ethan/jenna finish. andy/tommy finish the task next than lawence/zac and amani/marcus while bill/cathi are still looking for the clue to the temple which they finally get. liz can’t get it still but after another missed attempt get it before bill/cathi turn up cathi takes the roadblock. meanwhile kaylani/lisa catch ron/bill at the dragon boats. bill/cathi finsh the roadblock a bit quicker but are still last. liz/marie are still not last on the dragon boat. bill/cathi arrive at the pitstop last but are spared by a non-elim leg but must complete speed bump and the next leg for the first time will be a double elimination leg.

(which supprises her and is not happy). the reward challenge has the swimmer grab a key who gives it to the strongest person who carrys logs to the mat for the agile person to cross up to a ballance beam and manuvare it the smart person uses the key to solve the puzzle the reward is flint. john starts ok but struggles with the swimming allowing jaison to get the lead for foafoa (which supprises mike because of his old fashioned views). john struggles early with the swimming that dave wants him gone already (john is exhausted). Russell H stretches the lead but erik does ok as russell H starts having trouble but than erik is down. marrisa does well on the rope maze part of the beam russell S is proud despite erik losing time. liz starts on the puzzle first but shambo almost catches her but liz wins reward for foa foa in a close race making the tribe happy with micks calls at least according to marrisa. russell s is not frustrated and dave says there underdogs. erik is also upset at john for his effort. foafoa arrive at camp and after the introductions ben takes the lead on setting up camp which doesn’t upset mick who wants to delegate a bit. russell h decides to form alliances with everyone starting with the girls (he calls them his dumb girl alliance which is misonagastic) but betsy doesn’t trust him which is a good idea as long as he doesn’t say it to him. russell h is doing it to make sure he wins. on galu russell s thinks he is vulnerable he takes charge which makes shambo happy but eventually the guys argue about how to build shelter which leads to some friction and also annoys shambo. john says don’t be too quick to spin the wheels saying that being over budget doesn’t mean anything because theres no budget and is already digging his grave. shambo thinks they should act before thinking some of the tribe go swimming which annoys shambo who doesn’t participate. russell h gives a false story about the hurricane katrina in new orleans and that he lost his dog for sympathy and this works but its all a lie (he never even lived in new orleans) it works on ashley. marrisa is starting to get succsipicious meanwhile russell h drops out all the water and burning jaisons socks as an attempt to make life miserable his goal is not to win the money but show how easy it is to win even saying he should be the first one to go. when the tribe finds out that the water is missing it leads to a fight between ben and marrisa. russell h is overconfident he is running the show. before the immunity challenge russell s makes comments that ben makes fun of so erik replies that he is ready to start the challenge. the challenge is going over aframes to lift a crate with rope and than the other 4 members solve the puzzle. the first leg has galu lead quickly with the girls slowing down the tribes so russell s hopes yazmin wihle foafoa work together galu lead the whole first leg with foafoa using a human pyramid to try and catch up. galu has a big lead to the crate pulling but foafoa close the gap slightly with russell h using his muscles to close the gap. it is kelly, laura, shambo and monica versus mike, liz, betsy and marisa on the puzzle. looking for the words are tricky but momentum swings and galu win immunity and their flint. there celebration doesn’t enderar them to the other tribe. foafoa head to camp disappointed in their loss but they know theres a long way to go ashleys worried and she has the right to be as mike says ashley is the weakest which mick agrees with and originally its the conceness until marrisa confronts russell about talking to people which is not a good strategy at all. russell than leads a vote against marisa and tells the tribe to vote her but betsy doesn’t want to and tries to get the vote back on ashley. russell h even says he is the puppet master. betsy tells natalie not to trust russell on womans intuition. at tribal ashley says its upsetting someone goes home russell replies to her saying its not a big deal by not giving an answer mike says they have to get serious mike says they where lucky with the puzzle. liz says they could have been more unified on the puzzle betsy calls ashley the weak link which upsets her as she thinks she is strong. marisa says there is different levels of weakness ben goes a bit far trying to get her to answer the question russell admits he doesn’t like marisa. marisa tries to defend herself by saying russell said honesty was important but russell says it was about trust and ben doesn’t agree. in the end the vote goes against marisa 7-3 (with betsy, marisa and mick? voting for ashley).

left the jalapao 3 are amazed to still be in the game. taj says jt is the biggest threat but they don’t want to take him out if they don’t have to. erinn knows she is in trouble if she doesn’t win immunity tree mail indicates something to do with spiders but it is just a spider shaped maze which is quite complicated and than solve a web shape puzzle. jt takes an early lead getting pieces as others take their time even jt has two bags before anyone is back with any erinn is last with her first. jt goes over taj at one point but jt still leads going into the puzzle stephen also starts on the puzzle but the woman are quite behind but erinn makes up a lot of time on the puzzle and is suddenly in it taj not so much in it. jt has trouble with his last spot as erinn closees in but jt still wins. erinn knows she is in trouble and her close loss may be the end of her. taj thinks the guys are loyal to her erinn is trying to get votes against taj. jt thinks turning on taj is a good idea but the guys think erinn is beatable but not taj. stephen is worried about jury votes if he betrays taj but he thinks about how he will win they also say taj is getting succspicious. stephen thinks taj is a threat taj is told that erinn is still the vote. at tribal stephen admits that they haad a game plan to turn the timbira on each other erinn is proud of herself to make it this far and her decisions and admit scrambling doesn’t work and she will probablly go. taj says erinn might get votes because of the vindictivness. stephen says that he respects coachs philosophy but its not practical jeff says he is not sure what stpehen means. jt and taj say that they learnt to trust erinn but not as much as each other. taj says she will be shocked if its her erinn will be supprised if she makes it through this round. in the end the guys turn on taj and she is voted out 3-1 over erinn in a blindside. taj is dissappointed at being blindsided and it will be tough for her to do her million dollar vote. the final 3 are releaved but they admit it was tough but jt says he had to make the move. there is only one more immunity challenge which will be critical erinns constant talking is annoying. erinn and stephen agree to vote out jt if they win immunity erinn thinks she is in a good spot. stephen doesn’t want to win immunity due to the choice he had to make between a more likely win or keeping his word. the players than remeber those voted out in the fallen comrades before the final immunity. carolina says it hurts to be out first (this is not last time we hear from her on survivor), candace says she needs to learn how to tolerate people like coach, jerry says the worse day was when he got sick and was voted off and survivor was the toughest for him, sandy says she couldn’t have played harder, spencer (who they call a super fan) he feels great that he was the youngest player, sydney says she shouldn’t have risen coattails to make it far. joe says he was just gettting started before his injury and thinks he is tough enough to win the game, brendan says success in bussiness doesn’t help in survivor, tyson blames overconfidence for his blindside, sierra says her experience was trial and tribulation and she was happy with her effort, debbie says being a principal should have helped her but it didn’t really. coach (who jt calls honest which is not true) talks about madness in a weird way. taj says the experience will stick with her for the rest of her life. stephen now wants to win to make the decision of who to go to the final 2. the final immunity challenge is putting a ball down a chute and than you must catch it and than put it back in rotation you add a ball every few minutes they also have to hand behind their back. the balls alternate sides it is not easy to keep track the first round isn’t eventful the 2nd round isn’t eventful either the third ball is dropped erinn is first out at the third round stephen struggles a bit before finaly losing in the fourth round so jt wins final immunity meaning he decides who goes to the final 2 with him. stephen says he was dreading the decision if he won the challenge he is releaved its not up to that. erinn tells jt that timbira won’t vote for her to win erinn says that jt is the odds on favourite to win. jt is worried about stephens loyality and is now not sure who to take to the end erinn thinks it would be noble for the guys to go to the end but a draw is impossible. jt tells stephen that stephen said he’d take erinn which has him worried. stephen is worried that jt will turn on him. jt says his mum gave him encouragement before he left. at tribal the questioniing focuses on jts decision with each of the others getting to pitch why to take them erinns pitch is that stephen is more likely to win while stephens pitch is about sticking to his word and friendship. jt admits he is not sure which is more important and explains the case for each of them. stephen uses the case of the day 39 breakfast as a help but it doesn’t improve. jt thinks erinn is less likely to get jury votes. in the end jt votes out erinn taking stephen to the end. erinn knew she was going so is not supprised. they enjoy the day 39 breakfast. they discuss their first impressions of each other stephen says that he didn’t think hed get along with jt. the opening statements stephen admits jt played a good game and there bond as well as sharing the brain on strategy and use the growth narative in his speech. jts speach is not about getting pitty votes but gives his case about how he helped everyone and never had his name written down and explained why he chose to vote out and the reason he picked to vote erinn out. brendan goes first on the jury he says that stephens strategy is not normal to win sport but stephen says survivor is the exception jt doesn’t think its relevant to who wins and says he outplayed him and stephen has to rebuttle with the challenge efforts. erinn says that stephen played 3 alliances and asks if she should just vote for jt stephen says that it was a agressive style of play and asks jt if he was the best to take and jt replies of the honesty he did. debbie says her vote is up in the air she asks jt about honesty and thought it was something different later jt admits to lying a bit and asks stephen who he would have taken to the end and asks for an honest answer he doesen’t give a real answer which annoys debbie and he eventually admits he would have voted jt out debbie says her vote is not decided. coach is proud of whose up there he asks jt again about honesty and integrity from late in the game he admits he couldn’t say everything but he kept his word on not voting for coach he admits he risked a million dollars to keep his word and says that as a warrior he never gave up at all stephen says that voting for everyone who was voted out and did not want to supprise people he never said any negative. sierra says that her question for stephen was already answered and thinks hes a sweetheart sierra asks jt about taking weak players to the end but jt defends himself as he thinks the strongest sierras less respect from that. tyson talks about them sharing a brain and that they where both assets to each other taking them to the end but jt says he could have done it without him but not as easy stephen is upset with the comment he thought someone else would have taken him. taj feels crushed and betrayed after being blindsided her question to jt about lying to her and jt admits to it being hard to do. stephen is asked about the blindside he blames jt for the blindside jt says it was both of theirs idea. stephen and jt get into an argument about what they said. stephen is getting frustrated at the attacks from jt and this hurts his case. the jury now votes for the winner and it is unamnious jt wins 7-0 becoming the 2nd unanimious winner (after earl in fiji) and the first flawless game in the shows history (coach even calls him the warrior in his vote). jts crying after winning the money and is very happy to win with the host saying people like jt and hate coach and it is true that people like him. jt even says his parents thought he’d be 4th at best he even admits he was questioniing what he was doing here and explains why he chose stephen because of his supprising strength. stephen thinks the key was the intelects clicking to their alliance. stephen also says coach had a big role in their success with their plans. stephen admits that he would have wrestled with his emotions with the answer to debbies question but the friendship is still going well. jeff asks brendan about what happened and he says the leadership battle was why the tribe struggled. he gives credit to erinn for making a big move is why she jumped. taj admits no one discussed voting out jt and was worried about being the last one with the idol. jt is given his tooth back after getting a close shot of it but he declines it so it goes to his mum who is very happy about her sons win. jeff admits that taj was a supprise fan favourite and we find out she was a pop star as well as an nfl wife she says it was adjusting that was hard she also had a few injuries but goes over the emotions of the loved ones visit. they also talk to her husband who says he was proud of her. jeff says that tyson was delightful nasty calling him a outspoken mormon compairing him to jesus is over the top. sierra is asked about the first impressions twist calling her universally dispised but she said she was honest and forthright and explains her strategy didn’t work but she thought to the death. jeff calls coach colourful and controversal even saying people missed him he says that people are respectful and that people who know him know that side of him we even re hear his story he turns down a lie detector test saying it wouldn’t have proven anything but he had one done by someone else trying to blindside jeff with the acctual test from a hollywood man. the audience thinks he is telling the truth the answer is yes according to the test. jeff asks debbie about the reaction at her school and it is positive. coach brought with him his coaching staff and the book writer. there is a weird question to a lady friend of coach. the fan favourite award is won by jt over taj and sierra. he asks joe about his leg saying its great. sydneys modeling carrer is going well but is ok with injuries. spencer had fun. jerry says people ask what happened to him during the season. candace was in a commerical one of her many jobs. carolina is

the first clue sends them to vienna austria and get their clue using a cars mirror. the first flight has two stops but gets in 30 minutes earlier than going via one city only the cowboys take the one stop route (again putting them behind with the flights). kent/yvxsins relationship is in trouble having many fights. the prize is a new car for winning the leg. putting the car into reverse isn’t easy the stop is scholls schloburg which is a castle. the cowboys catch up to gary/mallory at the car which upsets gary the struggles with it. some teams stop at a petrol shop to get directions. the next stop is a library in vienna with zev/justin in the lead. ““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““the cowboys are still last at this point. kent/yvxsin consistantly argue a lot. the next clue is a detour of “long and hard walk” teams have to deliver a couch from the sigmend museum through the streets “quick and easy meal” requires teams to eat a huge local meal in 12 minutes which teams who try it find impossible. zev/justin keisha/jen and gary/mallory attempt the food but don’t succeed so they and the other teams do the couch. teams take the subway to the food who chose it. teams lie about the food so gary/mallory try it which isn’t nice. the couch is quite heavy but still doable. the difficulty with the couch mixes the order a bit. as the teams who ate catch up to the cowboys. the globetrotters get the clue 1st and the teams are sent to old town salzburg and a resturant (the globetrotters don’t realise their 1st). jet says might it be quicker to cary him on the couch not true. kent/yvxsin continue to fight over kent being saugh (he hurt his back in china appartently). gary/mallory are quite behind at this point. the cowboys finish the deotour 4th ahead of zev/justin just. in salzburg kent/yvxsin are still fighting while zev/justin pass the cowboys. the roadblock is chimney sweeping not too hard. big easy starts the roadblock 1st and finish before the next team turns up which is zev/justin (zev does it). the pitstop is the villa trap. yvxsin and keisha take the roadblock for their teams. zev/justin win the cars by passing the globetrotters. cord takes the roadblock for the cowboys but they are still ahead of gary/mallory (gary takes the roadblock showing up when the cowboys leave). gary/mallory finish last but are spared by a non-elim but will do speed bump next leg.
