Survivor - Episode 5, Recap
Don't Tell Anyone You Wanna Go Home
Raro gets some surprise visitors. The tribes struggle with their alliances - and the challenges. Stephannie gets sent home!
After JP got voted off, Raro heads back to camp. The Raro men begin working hard the next day to prove to the ladies that they belong there. Obviously, they're skeerd. Hehe!
Meanwhile on Aitu, Cao Boi expresses his anger over the laziness of his female tribe mates, particularly Candice and Becky.
Back at Raro, Cristina seems to have stepped in and filled the void of annoying, overly-bossy tribe wanna-be leader that JP left vacant with his departure. I'd think Cristina would tone it down a bit, but she seems to oblivious to the effect her bossiness has on her tribe. (Although she was pretty aware of what JP did wrong! Go figure!)
She issues commands and seems to sit back and let everyone else carry them out. Raro does manage to pull it together to win the reward challenge, however. They get some wine and spices which they are obviously putting to good use. The guys caught an octopus, which Cristina drops while prepping it for the feast. This upsets Adam big-time. Cristina says Jenny was supposed to be helping her which upsets Jenny big-time. Uh-oh!
It looks like if Raro loses, Cristina is so going home.
Why oh why are they voting off mi gente? Why?
Later on, Cao Boi, Jessica and Ozzy try to get some of their tribe mates on Aitu to go exploring with them. No body bites because well, they don't like the misfits and don't want to be in an alliance with them. Nananabooboo!
During this time, Jonathan, the annoying writer, is stuck on Exile Island trying to hunt for the immunity idol, which he now suspects has been found. Good guess, Sherlock! Yul has it! I guess he didn't tell you. Awww, and he's supposed to be in your mega-alliance!
Haha!
Well, Cao Boi, Ozzy and Jessica end up on Raro's island. This ticks off Raro big time. Cao Boi totally overstays his welcome and talks everyone's ear off. The guy is not doing a good job of raising his stock in the eyes of the other tribe. I guess he doesn't care. It's not like he's going to make it to the merge anyway, right?
Before leaving Raro's island, Cao Boi tries to beg for some spices and other goodies. The other team tells him NO!
At the immunity challenge, both teams had some difficulty throughout. Honestly, the challenge was pretty complex and convoluted. In the end, Aitu won by a narrow margin. Raro fell off their pedestal, literally, and had to re-start.
Everyone seemed to be pretty cool with sending Cristina home on Raro 'til Stephannie made some wise remark to Nate about not minding if she got sent home so she could eat some 'mashed potatoes and gravy.' Now, Stephannie said she should've been sent home last week too. Nate decides he wants her gone because she obviously doesn't want to be there.
When Parvati confronts Stephannie about it, Stephannie says that Nate took her words out of context. Sure! Anyhoo, Stephannie got her wish and was voted off the island this week.
I, for one, am not sorry to see her go!
