Season 21: Episode 07: What Goes Around Comes Around

The tribe has spoken and Eric is asked to leave the pool immediately.  At Tribal Council, Marty strikes out at Jane by calling her a flipper,  “She’ll go wherever the wind blows in terms of making sure she saves her own skin.” says Marty.  Brenda disagrees and feels that Jane has been genuine and made an effort to fit in with the tribe.   Marty reveals that he gave Sash his hidden immunity idol and therefore feels vulnerable tonight and hopes he hasn’t made a huge mistake.   Jeff questions Sash about why he has the idol and whether he would be willing to give it to anyone else in his alliance.  Sash responds, “At this moment, I don’t think it serves a purpose, but if there’s a time when I lose trust in them OR I’m sorry if there’s a time when they lose trust in me, then I’ll have to turn it over.”    Sash realizes he made a Freudian slip in his response and hopes to have not caused any damage with his alliance. In the end, the tribe honors their word to Marty and votes Jill out, with three votes cast for her, two for Marty and two for Jane.  Jill Behm, the 43 year-old ER doctor from Erie, Pennsylvania became the eighth person voted out of SURVIVOR:  NICARAGUA. 

Jeff's thoughts:

REWARD CHALLENGE

Because of the rough water in Nicaragua we couldn’t do a lot of water challenges, so we built a large cement pool. It never ceases to amaze me what our art department can create and execute.

As far as the challenge, I loved this one. It’s fair for everybody, (okay with the exception of Dan) you could play it at home (Okay if you had a swimming pool) and it’s just fun to watch. But the best part of the challenge came once again thanks to Survivor‘s favorite comedy genius… Fabio!

YOU KNEW SOMEBODY WAS GOING TO DO IT

Fabio peeing in the pool was a moment that still makes me laugh when I think about that day and the look on his face as he was doing it. I enjoy Fabio. He’s a charming young man who often speaks before he listens but is so open and shares so many thoughts that he’s endeared himself to me. No Fabio, not everybody pees in the pool.

My favorite line of the entire pitch to Marty:

Sash: I think it makes sense, but I can’t tell you what to do with your own idol.

THAT’S the shady part I’m talking about! If Sash thinks it makes sense… don’t do it!

To Marty’s defense, I think Marty is right – he has to try something and the idol was going to get flushed out one way or the other. Giving it to Sash gives him a lifeline to Sash with the hope that something will happen to change things up.

Quotes of the week:

Sash:“If there’s a time when I lose trust in them - I’m sorry, if there’s a time when they lose trust in me, then I’ll have to turn it over or I’ll have the biggest target on my back of this entire tribe.”

Dan:“They used to call John Gotti the Teflon Don because every time they’d try and get him on something it could never stick. I’m starting to feel like Teflon Dan.”
