Yul, Ozzy and Parvati go from a mud bath to a hot tub. Adam is sent to Exile Island. Becky and Sundra discuss their place in the Final Four. Here's the recap.
“Survivor: Cook Islands” will have a final three in case you haven’t heard yet. With a jury of nine, this leads to a possibility of a three-way tie. The “Survivor” finale on Sunday is definitely must-see TV.
Last night’s episode was anti-climactic at best. Ozzy won the Reward and Immunity Challenges. Becky and Sundra were actually hurt that Ozzy seemed to throw mud in their faces. Hey, it was a mud challenge after all! They thought he should’ve given them some help or something. I guess they wanted him to throw them a bone so they could get the spa day. Ozzy has made no mistake about it. He’s here to win. He’s playing mostly for himself and by himself. He knows this and he doesn’t care who else knows it.
When confronted, he’s honest. As he told Parvati and Adam last night when they asked him if he’d switch things up and vote out one of the Aitu Four, he said, ‘if it was in my best interest, I would, but I don’t think it is.’ (Or something like that.) Yul, who’s game I’m respecting less and less, Becky and Sundra thought about tossing Ozzy under the bus. They at least want to switch up their final four order. However, Yul said in a diary session that he thinks Ozzy’s the best person to take to the final two. Besides, Ozzy’s really strong in these challenges and well, right now, he’s t he only one I’d put my money on for getting to the final three.
Yul is still sure he’s making it to the final two. As far as I know, Yul’s immunity idol runs out pretty soon. This still gives him a chance to get booted onto the jury. It’s not a foregone conclusion and the fact that he’s playing like it is – annoys the living sh*t outta me. For a very intelligent man, he’s not acting too bright.
Becky and Sundra have sort of taken the role of complaining women. They’re not thrilled with anything or anyone. Maybe they’re tired. Maybe they’re both on the rag. I don’t know. They also joked about Parvati’s flirtation with Ozzy. Parvati admitted it was strategy. Duh! Ozzy flirted back, especially in the hot tub during the reward challenge. Ozzy, Yul and Parvati were naked and had some serious fun together. Well, Ozzy and Parvati enjoyed flirting and teasing. Yul seemed a bit uptight.
Maybe he felt left out like Parvati should’ve buttered him up since he’s holding the idol. Who knows? I don’t think Yul’s that petty, but I’ve been wrong before.
Adam tried to play up to Yul a bit. I guess he figures it could send Parvati home ahead of him. He would like to see his friend stay but knows the writing is on the wall. Exile Island and eating raw seafood (yech!) can really open up your eyes.
At one point, Sundra, Becky and Yul were scared that Ozzy was chit-chatting with Parvati and Adam in the shelter. In the end, they had nothing to fear from Ozzy. The tribe voted to send Parvati to the jury. Sunday night, we lose two and keep three. It’s going to be a wild final tribal council. I’m sure the jury has a lot to say. If last night’s tribal council in which Yul brought Jonathan back his hat showed us anything, the jury is a major factor in the end game. Unfortunately, Yul’s playing up to them may have the opposite effect. I don’t think they like it.
I know Candice seems to be working them pretty hard. And Nate too. Although Aitu is in the final five, Raro dominates the jury. If Adam can hang on and make it to the final three, he just might win this thing.
What do you think? I’d love to hear your predictions for Sunday and thoughts about last night’s episode. Talk to me in the discussion area.
