Last time on Survivor, at La Flor, Sash was gloating about his complete success, but Marty planned to get even. Over at Espada, Kelly S and Fabio discussed strategy for the upcoming merge. The challenge was messy and grueling, and La Flor came out on top. Marty tried to look for the idol, but to no avail. Shannon plotted to get out his nemesis Fabio, to which Yve reluctantly agreed. At the immunity challenge, it was a close race, but Espada came out on top, sending La Flor to tribal council. At La Flor, Marty created a fraud hidden immunity idol, and bluffed to Sash his head was on the chopping block. He believed it, and took the fake idol. At tribal council, Sash shocked everyone with his authentic looking idol, sending the arrows pointing at him. After being humiliated by playing his fake, Sash was blindsided from La Flor, and sent home angry at Marty. 12 are left, who will be voted out tonight?
EPISODE
At La Flor, Marty is pumping his arms in the air in complete triumph over eliminating his enemy Sash. He dances around in utter joy, causing the tribe to roll their eyes in annoyance. Brenda is concerned because she eliminated her own ally unwittingly, and goes off to figure out how to overcome any sort of odds. Jimmy J is happy that Sash is gone, and he goes off to catch some food for the tribe. He comes back with nothing but a face full of sea water and a amused tribe. Wendy wonders if the merge will be approaching soon.
At Espada, the tribe awoked joyed from their tribleless night. Kelly S went off to capture food for her tribe, to prove that women are just as good hunters as men. Much to everyone's shock, she came back with 2 wild chickens she caught with her crudely made spear. Shannon rolled his eyes and vented in private at how Kelly S was showing him up. Fabio is thinking about exactly what to do, should the tribes merge.
Both of the tribes received tree mail to come to the middle of the beach where the camps met, sounding as if it was a reward challenge. Much to everyone's shock, the tribes were merged, being given a red flag, red paint, new red buffs and guide to a new camp where a feast would await them. The 12 castaways traveled to their new camp, where they were told to come up with a name for the merged tribe. Tyrone suggested the name "Guerrero", which is Spanish for "Warrior". The 11 others agreed, pigging out on a feast of meats, vegetables, fruit, bread, and candy, along with beer. Shannon got extremely tipsy and started behaving erratically, causing the tribe to laugh at his antics. Marty pulled aside Fabio and promised that if he join his allegiance, he will promise him with F3. Fabio decided to listen to Marty, but asked who was the first target. Marty stated he wanted to eliminate Tyrone immediatly, as he was very strong, but also widely detested by Marty. Not seeing any reason to disagree, Fabio jumped on board. He then ran to Kelly S and asked her if she was ok with this, to which she agreed. Fabio then asked Marty who the target would be if Tyrone won immunity, to which the latter stated would be Yve. Meanwhile, Yve was exploring the new campsite with Shannon, who said he wanted to eliminate Fabio before anyone else. Yve stated it would be a good time, as it was the merge and Fabio was relatively strong, as well as popular with everyone. Fabio was meanwhile capturing fish with Kelly S' spear, and came back with 3 eels. The tribe attempted to eat them, but detested the taste. Benry was attempting to figure out who to align with. His former ally Fabio, or Shannon's crew. Yve told Benry that if he joined, then he would be promised F3. The excited Benry did not want to pass down this oppurtunity, and decided to jump ship to Yve. Meanwhile, Kelly B was trying to construct a wooden canoe, but after trying to tie the pieces together, it fell apart. Shannon suggested building a raft instead, to which Kelly B agreed. After the raft was constructed, the two went out fishing. While on the raft, Shannon asked Kelly B if she wanted to blinside Fabio, to which the latter was shocked. She asked the reason, and Shannon explained that Fabio had betrayed the allegiance by aligning with Kelly S. Kelly B decided she didn't want to be targeted for an attempted rebellion, so she agreed, though a bit reluctantly. Later that day Jane was relaxing in the shelter, when Marty approached her and asked if she wanted to join his allegiance. She stated that she would if she would earn something in return. Marty bluffed to Jane that he would take her to the final 3 if she were to help him, to which Jane estatically agreed.
IMMUNITY CHALENGE.
The contestants hiked to the river where Jeff was standing on a floating raft. He explained that the contestants would now be competing for individual immunity and explained the challenge. The contestants would be standing on a floating raft in the water, where the last person remaining would earn immunity. He also added stipulation, stating he would tempt the contestants with food and drinks every so often, and that if any of them wanted to step down, they could. The challenge then began, where Shannon was the first to fall into the murky river at just 21 minutes into the challenge. Jane was the next to go, after Jeff offered her buffalo wings and beer, 67 minutes into the challenge. At 89 minutes into the challenge, Kelly S' bikini bottom fell off, exposing her genitals. Extremely embarrassed, she covered her crotch with one of her hands, blushing bright red. Fabio was distracted by Kelly S' parts, ad slipped off, 103 minutes into the challenge. Deciding that it would be futile to continue with only half her clothing, Kelly S slipped off her top, competing in the challenge nude. In order to distract the men, she danced around on the pole, causing a distracted Benry to slip off. Jeff then announced if anyone wanted to step off, he would give them a bacon cheeseburger, with fries and a coke. Extremely hungry, Kelly B decided to jump off and enjoyed her food on the shore. Later in the challenge, Kelly S felt a great need to urinate, but not wanting to step down, she lifted her leg up and urinated into the water, disgusting the other compeititors. Brenda was so appalled by this, that she lost her balance and fell into the water. Eventually, the challenge was down to Yve, Kelly S, and Tyrone. Yve jumped off when offered oreos and milk. For the next 50 minutes, Kelly S and Tyrone fought rigorously, though Tyrone finally gave out after losing his tight grip, granting Kelly S individual immunity. She grabbed the necklace excited, and then covered her breasts and crotch, as the contestants walked back to camp.
Back at Guerrero, Kelly S asked Fabio for her spare leopard fur bikini. He handed it to her and she changed into it. She then spoke to him, stating that they needed to make sure neither of them were voted out. She told him to create a realistic looking faux idol, which would hopefully remove the target from his back. Fabio ran into the jungle, hoping to create a somewhat realistic looking idol. Using woods, rocks, string, etc, he fashioned the bluff and stuffed it into his pocket. While Shannon was collecting rocks he spotted Fabio, with the fake idol in his pocket. Believing it to be a real one, he decided that he needed to re-think his plans. Shannon darted to Yve and explained what happaned, and she suggested voting out Kelly B., due to the sympathy she would garner if she were to reach the end. Shannon started to lobby votes against her, and when Kelly B. saw him speaking to Benry near the well, she became suspicious. Shannon lied to her that he wanted to vote out Fabio and that she could join him. Kelly B. bought into his bluff and ran off happily.
