Phillip says Steve wasn't genuous, is that a word? Love the Phillipisms. (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=genuous)
More visions from relatives. Pretty impressive though that he found the shorts without any clue, other than Julie said it was under a rock. I love how he wore them to RI to show Julie he found them. Phillip is gold!
Redemption Island, Matt's faith is awesome and while he is struggling with his emotions and fatigue, he is relying on his God. This is a huge testament to the power of faith and even though God isn't controlling the game, he does care about Matt and He will provide the inner strength to make it as far has he can. Will Matt continue to stay in the game, I think he has a really good shot. Julie, impacted by Matt's faith, great moment and with Julie's house in foreclosure, the comfort of God will be a big help to her. It won't necessarily save her house, but it will give her comfort as she goes through the process.
After the RI duel, Andrea starts beating herself up for Matt's harsh time feels she did him wrong worst than anyone. She was the closest to Matt and did vote him out the second time, but it would have been suicide not to. Now she is on the chopping block because of her concern.
Grant talks with Rob about getting rid of Andrea and Rob seems to agree. They see her as a real threat if Matt does come back. I think she could be, but I'm not sure she is who Rob needs to worry about most.
At the Challenge, Grant's football background helped him win. The balance from playing the sport really comes in handy. Steve didn't fair as well, but Steve is a little older and Ralph was tough to beat too. Grant picks Rob and Andrea to go on the reward where in 2 minutes they got to eat as much cake as they could. Something tells me their stomachs probably didn't handle it well.
Back at camp, Steve tried to convince the girls to flip and vote Rob. Of course the girls immediately go and tell Rob and now Steve is higher priority than Andrea to get rid of.
At tribal council, Rob's past is brought up about All Stars, when he protected Amber and then cut the throat of the person who helped him, which if I remember correctly was Lex. I joined the live tweet with Jeff Probst tonight for the first time and some were questioning whether past seasons should be brought up. I don't think Jeff initiated the conversation, so the fact he explained it isn't a big deal. Could be more of a big deal if Jeff mentioned it without it being brought up first, but that is not what happened here. When it came down to it Ralph was sent to RI.
Now the twist. Steve opens the package and it says that there will be another immunity challenge, followed immediately by another vote. The challenge is a memory challenge where Jeff shows a sequence of symbols and the person who lasts the longest, getting them in the right order, wins. Rob wins again. Surprisingly Special Agent Phillip was out early, I guess his grandfather didn't help with this task. In the end, Steve was also sent to RI, leaving only former Ometepe members in the game, other than on RI.
In the preview, Rob says something like 32 days and everything is unraveled, which makes it sound like he is in trouble, but I'm thinking it is being taken out of context and now he will start looking at who he really wants next to him and Phillip. Personally I think the comment is merely directed at the fact that I think Andrea will win immunity and Rob will be forced to vote someone else of instead. I still think he needs to take out Grant, but then again, Grant could run the table at RI and be right back in the game, which would be bad for Rob. So Rob really needs to keep him around until the person returns from RI and then get rid of him as soon as they get rid of the person that returns. Because if any Zapatera member or Matt return and get to the final 3, they will win. Matt will win merely because of his dominance on RI and any Zap will win, because the majority of the jury is Zaps.
With 4 people on RI, will they have a 4 way duel or will they have two 2 person duels and send two people to the jury (either way). They really need to start filling the jury up, because we are running out of time and there are lots of people left in this game. For Rob, Natalie is probably the best person to take with Phillip to the end, with Ashley being the next best bet.
One thing for sure is the RI duel will be good with Matt, Mike , Steve and Ralph going at it. Personally, I hope that 3 people join the jury and only one more person goes to RI, then the winner of those 2 returns, but it could still work if only 2 join the jury next week and the following week only the top person returns to the game. If they continue past that point, I will be disappointed. If two advance, I think it will be Matt and Mike.
Of those left in the game, let's look at where they stand.
Rob - he is still controlling this game and while he could easily be turned on now, I think the will step it up another level and get everyone convinced that they are going to the finals with him and he will get there. He still has the idol and presumably he will have to use it in the next TC or so. Personally, I wouldn't use it unless he needs to, because it will only cause animosity to his tribe members to see it come out and they didn't know about it.
Grant - If he can win his way to the finals, he will be in good shape, but as stated above, Rob really needs to get him out soon. He is the only Ometepe member that I think has a chance to beat Rob, other than Matt. Grant is too dangerous physically to keep around close to the end.
Natalie and Ashley - Either of these are good final 3, because they have been lazy and I don't think anyone will vote for either of them. For Rob, I would reward Natalie, since Ashley didn't tell him about Ralph trying to strike a deal.
Andrea - I look to see her voted out soon too. Rob is too paranoid that Matt will join forces with her again, but I'm not so sure he will. I don't think she can beat Rob either, but she has a better shot that the other girls.
Phillip - Rob needs to do whatever he can to bring Phillip to the final 3, because he has annoyed everyone and I don't see him getting any votes either. But even if he some how won, it would be great, just for the mere fact that he made the show. Without Rob or Phillip, this season sucks.
On Redemption Island, Matt and Mike are the favored two, so I expect Steve and Ralph will be joining the jury next week. I'm really hoping Matt makes it back into the game, because he will either win the game or get voted out immediately again, which will be a great Survivor moment either way.
So until next week... the Tribe has spoken.
