‘Survivor: Second Chance’ SPOILERS: Second Half Of Season Will Make History
Andrew feels his huge dream is happening. Ciera’s big focus this season has been to goad people into playing the game, but most of this comes from the fact that she’s been primarily on the bottom, so she’s been forced to play the game while others can coast.
All four of these names were conjured for all manner of reasons, but none more frequently and with more incredulity than “Chaos Kass”, the brainy mom from a small town in California where she practices law and a few sort of apparent witchcraft that causes people to speak llama. Jeremy and Savage aren’t almost the targets that Joe is, but they both want to surround themselves with “meat shields” so that their own challenge ability doesn’t stand out as a threat. The reward is coffee, bagels and cream cheese, sandwiches, and other candies. Kelley Wigglesworth is reminded that in season one she lost this challenge to Jervis and she is paddles as a profession.
Two teams of six were formed. And he won both of them. As for the eliminations now that the merge has happened and the eliminated castaways go to the jury, Survivor spoilers claim that Stephen Fishbach, Kelly Wiglesworth, Ciera Eastin, Andrew Savage, Joe Anglim, and Keith Nale are facing a snuffed torch in that order. Tasha probably hoped to get Kass out before the jury started, which was due to their strained relationship but was an objectively smart decision. Fish is despondent. He’s hungry and he hates it that Joe is rubbing elbows with the others and perhaps making them like him a lot. Keith says, “You call, we’ll haul”.
Life isn’t so cheery back at camp. Stephen feels that seeing Joe off bonding with the other group is defeating him. Andrew says no one but Wentworth saw it coming and says he proved he can hang and played the game. Spencer listens to Stephen’s pitch to blindside Joe and agrees that it is a possibility. He talks to Jeremy about getting rid of Joe.
“He let me know early on that he didn’t trust me”, she says of her original Bayon tribe mate. Andrew suggested to Jeremy that they should vote off Ciera or Kelly Wentworth. Joey awesome, for example, had to be waiting for the individual game, but he could be staring down the bullet of having to win seven, eight or even nine challenges. It’s hard to care that the challenge isn’t that inventive when the narrative build still manages to make two guys standing around balancing a ball on a disc exciting. At intervals they must let out rope which makes it harder to balance. Wentworth, Wigglesworth, Jeremy, and Ciera are out nearly immediately and Abi is out next. Abbi, Stephen and Savage follow.
But then came Tasha. It’s down to Keith, Joe and Spencer. At the twenty minute point they release the rest of the rope, and the struggle begins.
After another 10 minutes, a second ball is added to Joe’s and Keith’s plates. If the balls head off in different directions they will not be able to maintain the position. Keith was then eliminated, leaving Joe as the victor. Joe needs to keep winning, right? So, Savage was 100% the next person to go if Ta Keo went to Tribal Council.
Stephen is frustrated that Joe won again and feels that Joe is his white whale. I’m out of a million dollars, but I decide who gets the million…I’m open. Andrew said Jeremy made a valid point in wanting to keep Stephen in the game, but Andrew is a lawyer and is used to winning arguments. Now Jeremy? Or Tasha? Jeremy has been with Stephen for twenty days and wants to use him help him get rid of the big fish. Jeremy uses the opportunity to turn the group against the two girls.
The losers strategize, with Stephen leading the charge to vote Joe out.
In fairness, Kass didn’t exactly have the kindest things to say about Savage during the pre-game, and her assessment of the man is even harsher now that she’s out of the game. At tribal council, Ciera gets into a row with Savage when he objects to her statement that he, Jeremy, Stephen and Tasha are running the game. “I was just holding my bag as Jeff started reading the votes”. If the final four is Jeremy, Joe, Savage and Tasha, who is the final juror and who is the Sole Survivor?
Ciera says she’s frustrated because no one is playing to win.
While it was a great play by Kelley to use her Idol when she did, they might have made the biggest blunder yet in who they chose to send home. Wentworth talks to Ciera she’s fine with Stephen. Joe then tells Kelley, Kelly and Ciera that the Fish thing is dead.
Jeff reads the votes: Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Andrew, Andrew.
Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Wentworth, Savage, Savage. And, naturally, because even a monster alliance like the Bayons can’t have ideal luck forever, they end up choosing to put all their votes on the one person in the rival alliance with a hidden immunity idol. Seriously, there is an absolute CASCADE of votes against Wentworth at tribal council, among the largest votes against any one person in Survivor history.
The remaining contestants are in it to win it, and are willing to do whatever it takes to not hear those awful four words from Probst: “The tribe has spoken”.
Everyone is looking for the idol, but they don’t know that the idol is right in front of them. He tells them that they will get an advantage if they touch their buoy first as they enter into a challenge.
