Survivor: Cambodia/Second Chance Week 9 Recap

This season of Survivor is called Second Chance and it's basically that. Twenty players (11 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.

Still shocked at what happened at the previous tribal, the three women on the bottom are seen as dangerous and the rest of camp wants to cut off the head of that snake before it grows.

Everything else was all about the immunity idols. After KW played hers it had everybody looking. Jeremy wants a second one, and even Joe is worried and out looking.

Reward Challenge

This week's reward was for a spa treatment for only five contestants. The tribe was split into two groups: Tasha chose Joe, Fish, Spencer and Ciera to be on Team 1, leaving Jeremy, Keith, Wiggles, KW, and Kimmi on Team 2. Abi wasn't picked and had to sit out.

Each team had to stack poles of various lengths into holes of various depths to create a stairway to get to a maze. Once through the maze, one person would maneuver a key on a rope through an obstacle course. This key unlocked a chest with puzzle pieces, which when put together gives the combination to a lock that raises a flag.

Team 1 blew away Team 2. They were working on the puzzle before Team 2 even got the stairs set up right. While Jeremy was trying to get the key, Spencer and Ciera put the puzzle together and got the combo right on the first try. Boom.

As before, once the teams were separated the strategizing began. Ciera said since she was already a target she would get things started. Team 1 seemed to agree on targeting Wiggles, and Jeremy to a lesser degree.

While the losing team 2 was back at camp, Jeremy slid away for awhile and found another clue to an immunity idol. This time however it was not placed somewhere during the immunity challenge. He had to leave the camp at night towards the merge area and find it lit by lantern.

By time he returned to camp the spa group was back as well. He waited for a bit but no one seemed to be going to bed. He decided to just head out and say he had to use the bathroom. He walked the path and found his second idol. That's right, he now has two (and had probably just won the game now).

Fish had found a moment to hit up the three witches to try and work with them. They know they are on the bottom and were glad someone reached out to them. They said they would vote whoever he said.

Individual Immunity Challenge

The challenge for this week was to stand on a floating triangle with different placeholders for their feet. And it was pouring rain y'all.

Round 1: As a twist right away, Jeff cut a rope which released colored buoys in front of every contestant. He said the first one to touch theirs would lose a chance at immunity, but gain an advantage in the game. Fish and Spencer jumped right away. Spencer hesitated a split second and it cost him. Fish won it by a hair.

Round 2: After the first round they had to all transition to the top. KW, Jeremy, Ciera, Kimmi and Tasha could not handle the switch and fell.

Round 3: Keith was the next to go here, and so was Wiggles when she couldn't transition to being on one foot. Abi fought a good fight (and looked damned sexy as she balanced), but lost her balance and could not recover. That left, yeah you know who... Joe as the winner of individual immunity for the third time!

*** Oh yeah, about Fish's "advantage". He earned the right to steal someone's vote at tribal. Basically taking one away and having two to himself. That is a power move!

Tribal Council

Joe winning immunity left everyone trying to find a plan B again. The main group decided that they had to take out the witches, so they would split the vote and take out KW.

Fish went to the coven and they agreed on Wiggles. Then he went to Jeremy/Spencer and tried to talk them into flipping the game by aligning with the three on bottom. They were hesitant and didn't think they could trust the women. It was a blindside move for sure, but would they go along with it?

KW and Ciera got votes as part of the split, and then Wiggles started getting votes. Once she hit four (Fish + coven) it got real interesting to see if either Jeremy or Spencer had listened to Fish's plea. Apparently they did. She got a 5th and 6th vote and was sent home. Ciera only got three votes, and KW just two.

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

Kelley W (11), Spencer (8), Abi-Maria (6), Ciera (7), Tasha (2), Joe, Keith, Kimmi, and Jeremy*, and Fish** 

*Has 2 Immunity Idols

**Has an advantage that lets him steal a vote at tribal

Voted out (in order): Vytas, Shirin, Peih-Gee, Jeff, Monica, Terry (left voluntarily), Woo

On the jury: Kass, Andrew, Wiggles
