Survivor Season 35, Week 5 Recap

This season of Survivor is called Heroes vs Healers vs Hustlers. Eighteen players (14 remaining) were separated into three tribes according their work and life experience categories. Last week's recap can be found here.

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 a few seasons in, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. This blog post is my way of helping me keep all things sorted out. So take it easy on me if I make mistakes.

Not much going on here after tribal. Ashley told Joe " I knew you were crazy, but you're crazy and smart". Guess he did read her face at tribal after all.

Ali and Roarke headed out to talk some strategy. Later on Chrissy and Roarke hinted at a possible "fake all-girl alliance" to throw JP off.

Yawa was having a few moments this week. First, Ben had some PTSD flare up when someone put bamboo (which doesn't burn!) in the fire and it popped, freaking him out a few times. It was definitely heart wrenching to see him suffer a bit.

Cole was busy showing off his disgusting eating habits, when Mike/Jessica went to get water. She was telling him that Joe had found the earlier idol by the well, so he should dig around and see what was there. You know what was there? An idol.

Immunity Challenge

The first part of this challenge was getting three bags of rice from a boat and moving it through a square hole in a wall frame. Levu was first to accomplish this after getting all teammates over the wall and carrying all three bags over a balance beam. Yawa was next followed by Soku.

Yawa passed Levu on the next phase which was getting three balls out of the rice bags. These balls were then maneuvered up a wall maze with two ropes while walking backwards onto the balance beams. Yawa was first to get all three balls in their holes. Leu finished second, leaving Soku who was only able to get one ball in the entire time.

Soku goes to tribal.

Tribal Council

Suddenly all arrows were being fired towards Roarke, but there was still some apprehension over the fake all girl alliance. Other "alliances" found out they were not as strong or tight as they thought. In the end though, I think Roarke started playing the game a little too late and it cost her. Chrissy was stunned to get two votes, but it wasn't enough as Roarke got the other three and was sent home.

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

Levu: Ashley (1), Joe (2), Desi and Devon. 

Soko: JP, Chrissy (2), Ryan and Ali

Yawa: Lauren (1), Ben, Mike*, Cole, Jessica

Voted out (in order): Katrina, Simone, Patrick, Alan, Roarke

*Mike has a Hidden Immunity Idol. Joe played his in Week 4.

No one has any Hidden Advantages
