Tonight’s Survivor episode begins with end of tribal council, Carolyn says it was amazing, people were shocked, she played an idol for Carson and Danny went home. Nobody expected that and she doesn’t regret that. Carolyn tells the tribe how she got the idol, put the red X on the stage and Yam Yam things she should be quiet, she is giving away too much. Jamie thinks Carolyn is don’t judge a book by its cover, she is very calculated.
In the early hours, Heidi wakes up and looks for an idol, Carson catches her, wakes up Carolyn and says they got to go look for it to. Little do they know, Heidi has an idol in her pocket already – but she would love to have three.
Lauren start talk about getting rid of Carolyn, Carson, Yam Yam and Jaime are there as well. Carson acts like he agrees, but he doesn’t.
Time for the reward challenge, they are going to randomly divide into two teams of three. One player will be strapped inside a giant ball. They will guide their two blindfolded tribe members as they push push the ball down a long winding course to a table maze, where the person, still inside the ball, guides the two tribe members as they race to finish the maze. They are playing for a trip to sanctuary; a relaxing foot message, lunch, chocolate, cookies and ice tea. Losers back to camp with rice.
Teams, Purple: Caller is Jamie, Heidi and Carolyn pushing. Orange: Caller is Carson, Yam Yam and Lauren pushing. Orange is first to the maze. Purple is a complete disaster, Carolyn is all over the place. Orange wins. Yam Yam, Carson and Lauren win. Talk starts to turn to vote out Carolyn, Carson wants Lauren to think he is working with her.
Back at camp, Jamie tries to convince Carolyn to come over to her side, she wants to cause a rift with Tika. Carolyn says yes, but she is not ready to get rid of Carson yet, she needs him for one more vote.
Everyone returns to camp, Carson finds out that his name is being thrown out there and that is scary. Meanwhile, Yam Yam goes to Jamie and says he wants to get rid of Carolyn, she is a strong player and it is time.
Time for Tribal Council, today they are going to use two ropes to balance a ball on a disk. At regular intervals, they will move farther back, making it more difficult. If the ball drops, they are out.
Jamie drops in less than a minute, then Carolyn drops. Carson is out, fatigue after 23 days is showing. Yam Yam is out. On to the second stage, Lauren and Heidi are still in it. Heidi is out, Lauren wins immunity.
Yam Yam is surprised when they go back to camp, nobody appears to want to talk game and he wants to rally the troops against Carolyn. Later, Carolyn, Heidi, Yam Yam and Carson agree to vote out Jaime.
Yam Yam is playing both sides, and Carolyn sees him talking to Jamie and Heidi and she starts to get bad vibes. Yam Yam then speaks to Carson in private, and says he wants to get rid of Carolyn, Carson is shocked. Carson says his gut is telling him Jamie. Carolyn is a loyal player and she has been loyal to Carson.
Time for Tribal Council, shot in the dark is over. Jamie says the scales went up and down with everyone, all their names were said today. Yam Yam says it might appear their groups, but that doesn’t mean anything. Carson says they are in some ways working together but it is jumbled, at tribal, things could break up. Carolyn looks suspicious, especially when Yam Yam says he might have to vote with his brain and not his heart. It sounds like tonight’s vote will be emotional. Carolyn says she is scared tonight. Yam Yam says the person that is leaving tonight needs to leave for everyone’s game and that is why they are voting that way tonight.
Heidi gets up and plays an immunity idol, first vote is for Carolyn, then Jamie, Carolyn, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. Jaime is voted out. Carolyn is in shock, she turns to Yam Yam and Carson and says “What the?”
THE END!
