Survivor: Cambodia/Second Chance Week 2 Recap

This season of Survivor is called Second Chance and it's basically that. Twenty players (19 remaining) from the previous thirty seasons of Survivor were voted on and allowed a second chance at winning.




********************************************************************************

Now, first of all, let me say that I am in no way an expert in any kind of way about this show. Actually I am only three seasons in and I know only nine of the current participants. This blog post is my way of helping me keep all things sorted out. So take it easy on me if I make mistakes.




So it seems most of the action this week centered on this tribe. Andrew told the story of how he met his wife which made the ladies tear up. Kass commented that she actually felt like she was around real people as opposed to before. Even Jeremy got emotional and had to walk away thinking about his pregnant wife he left behind.

The rest of the group noticed he had walked away, to which Steven asked if they thought he was out looking for an idol. Andrew found him and they were talking wives and things, but when he told Jeremy that Steven questioned what he was doing he got that look in his eye. His next target is definitely Steven now. #DontPissOffJeremy

And then the real fun started. Abi...yeah, oh boy... well she said she was not going to make the same mistakes as before and not be as emotional. That lasted about fifteen minutes. She overheard Shirin and Peih-Gee talking about her and jumped right in and it was on. Now, Shirin backed away and didn't back Abi up (who she thought she had an alliance with) and the whole balance of the camp shifted right then.

Abi was left out on the beach by herself while everyone else was in the shelter laughing and making fun of her. Terry was the only one who came to check on her and that started a different set of alliances. Terry told her the next morning that he loved the drama of the "Abi show" and was in on their alliance. Then it basically became old school versus new school. And, somehow, because Spencer had formed up with Shirin, he was in everybody's line of fire as well.


Not much going on here again this week, but Joe is certainly getting everyone's attention. He rigged up hammocks and fishing nets and everything that impressed everyone.

They basically summed him up as #SurvivorMacGyver

It also made him a future target.

Immunity Challenge

The challenge this week was for immunity (duh) and carpentry/camp building supplies. Every team had to cross over three large A-frames with increasing steepness while carrying ropes. Those ropes would then be tied together and used to pull a chest over some inclines. Once the chest was retrieved, two people would take the pieces out to build the puzzle. Ciera sat out for Bayon.

It was pretty equal even though Ta Keo had some trouble getting the chest across. Kass and Kimmie started in on the puzzle before Kelley and Peih-Gee did. After awhile Jeremy and Joe took over for Bayon, while Spencer and Shirin (yeah, the two targets) tried it for Ta Keo. They even completed the puzzle first, but it was wrong once Probst checked it. Not thirty seconds after that Bayon finished correctly to win immunity for the second week in a row.

Tribal Council

So yeah, right back to the old school versus new school. Shirin tried to reconcile with Abi, but she wouldn't have any of it. She even told her the tribe was voting her or Spencer. Shirin tried to talk to others but basically got stonewalled (even by my boy Woo!©).


All the votes went to those two people as foretold. Spencer got four votes, but Shirin got the other five and was sent home. Spencer survives another day, but his only real alliance member is now gone.

So that leaves us with (total tribal votes received in parentheses):

Ta Keo: WooSpencer (4), Kelly W, Terry, Abi-Maria (4), Jeff, Peih-Gee, and Kelley*

Bayon: Jeremy, Kass, Keith, Tasha, Joe, Ciera, Andrew, Stephen, Kimmi, and Monica

*Has an Immunity Idol

Voted out (in order): Vytas, Shirin
