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.
********************************************************************************
Solewa
Not much of a tribe anymore is it? Chrissy is straight up pissed at Ben for his voting in the last two tribals. All the interesting stuff happened after the reward challenge.
********************************************************************************
Reward Challenge
This challenge involved trying to match balls pulled out of a bag with each tribe mate's loved ones. Lots of emotions and laughing here, especially when Lauren's sister ditched her and ran right after Jeff to give him a hug.
As for the gameplay, the only two to actually match were of course the enemies Chrissy (husband) and Ben (hot wife). The next round Chrissy was able to match again, but Ben wasn't.
She chose Ryan (dad), Mike (wife), and Ashley (dad) to go back to camp for food. Chrissy tried to hit up Ashley for some strategy, but it didn't get very far.
Away from camp, Ben was busy making a fake idol for Chrissy or someone to find, while the rest of them looked for the real thing. Right at that moment Lauren saw the camp logo on a log and dug to find half an idol. Yeah, half. It told her the other half would be a shell in front of her at the immunity challenge.

Individual Immunity Challenge
This challenge was to stand with your arms out, pressing two disks against the outside frame, holding them in place. This was a hard challenge and many were shaky from the start.
At the 15 minute mark, Ben was the first to fall, followed by Chrissy, Ryan and Lauren. Lauren's fall was more strategic though as she sat on her platform and deftly snagged the shell that she needed to complete her idol.
At the 30 minute mark, Mike falls. Devon does the hula for a moment and then says to Ashley that their alliance is tight so it doesn't matter who wins. They agreed and he dropped to give Ashley immunity (for a later shoulder rub).

Tribal Council
Things went batshit crazy y'all. So everyone seemed to be targeting Ben. Ben caught wind of things somewhat and moved on to Plan...Q? He talked to Mike and Ryan about going after Lauren because she has an idol and an advantage. He even sucked it up and apologized to Chrissy, told her everything and tried to get her vote as well.
Devon told Lauren about the whole thing. Things got so weird and wide open at camp that Lauren gave Mike half of her idol as a show of...faith? trust? stupidity? I have no idea.
At tribal, things got even crazier. It was one of those where little groups gathered and discussed options right in front of everyone else and right in the middle of the proceedings. Lauren says she has the advantage yes, but didn't even bring it with her so she can't use it anyway. Mike says, since everything is out in the open and everyone knows about everything he has always wanted to do "this"...and tossed Lauren's half idol into the fire. Everybody was stunned. Lauren was stunned. I was stunned on my couch at home. #wow
Devon eventually yelled at Jeff to start the vote! After it was done, Ben played his idol that no one knew he had. That's why that info is secret people! Everyone was stunned again.
Ben got six votes that didn't count. The last vote, and only one that counted went to Lauren. She got sent home on one stinking vote (and never used her advantage or idol)!
