In tonight’s #Survivor episode, we reviewed the knives came out for Kaleb last week. He hadn’t done anything. He hadn’t even said anything until tribal council and so they were going to eliminate him simply because it was easy. He wasn’t Reba. He wasn’t Belo. He was one of two Lulus. They were at the bottom.

Kaleb knows that he can still go home after this, but now it’s a merge. A true merge. The tribes have all been merged into one. They no longer had to worry about teams anymore. They can now focus on their individual game. Bruce was doing just that when he mentioned Katurah hadn’t wanted to eliminate Kaleb at the last tribal council.

Bruce said this in front of old Reba members. He tried to say she didn’t agree with the unanimous decision. Only he could have taken her aside to mention that. He didn’t have to let Reba see that the Belos were in disagreement. Katurah said as much to him and she asked him not do that in the future.

He said he understood. He even claimed that he was firmly with Belo strong. He just didn’t learn anything from the previous tribal council and that’s why Katurah couldn’t wait to get him out. She gets on fine with the other Belos. It was only him she hated.

Katurah thought she was hiding her hatred from Bruce when she really wasn’t. He knew she didn’t like or trust him. He didn’t trust her either. He found an Immunity Idol and she was the only one he didn’t tell. He thought the others would all side with him in eliminating Katurah down the road.

He didn’t know that she was secretly making pacts with these same people to eliminate him first. She didn’t like him from the very beginning. Everything he did or will do will annoy her. She’s been trying to get rid of him from day one and people are slowly starting to agree with her.

There’s just one problem. He has an idol. They have to force him to play it. Katurah wants to do that. Kellie wants to do that and so does Kaleb. Kaleb tried talking to Bruce the next day.

He couldn’t get anywhere with him. Bruce would go off on these tangents like he wants to be the dad of the group and it’s hard to follow him much less work with him. His previous experience was no longer coming in handy. He was being a problem. Jake was the only original Belo that refused to see it. Jake wants to keep the numbers in their war against the Rebas.

Jake was one of the few people that saw the bigger picture. Everyone else kept getting in their own way. Then their challenge came about. It turns out there were still some things they have to do in a group. They got split into two groups in a competition of resilience and whoever lasts the longest in both groups has immunity, but both groups will they have their own separate tribal councils and so they were told that two people will being going home on tonight’s episode. And the last person standing would get to go to Sanctuary island where they’ll be pampered.

It came down to Kellie and Dee in the battle for reward. Dee became the winner. She really wanted to eat and now she will. Both Dee and Kellie won Immunity. Only Dee got to feast. She also got to bring along her team. They were all eating while trying to figure out who to send home. Jake wanted to get rid of Julie. Kaleb was in agreement. Kaleb also won Katurah because he finally told her that Bruce has an idol. The deciding vote was Austin because Dee and Julie for that team wanted to get rid of Kaleb.

Dee hasn’t forgiven him for bringing up her name at the last tribal council. She now has him in her sights and she doesn’t want to get rid of Julie. Julie was her final four. Over on the other side, Kellie was starting to backtrack from targeting Bruce. She needed him in the numbers game. She thought taking out Sifu would be better. Kendra agreed with her. Drew and Emily both want to save themselves from being named. And you know what Sifu knew he’d be target for this group of six because he was an easy pick.

Sifu couldn’t even depend on Drew. Drew would rather go after Bruce than Sifu. They both started out as Reba and they know they can work together only Drew wouldn’t risk himself in helping Sifu. Emily meanwhile doesn’t know Sifu from Adam. She will go with the consensus. Bruce was being weird. He wanted to play his idol. He felt for sure that people were coming after him. His paranoia was growing by the day. Kellie tried to talk him down. She told him that no one was coming after him and she wasn’t even lying that time.

No one was coming after Bruce tonight. He just saw daggers where they weren’t none. They were the first group to go into tribal council tonight and the vote was against Sifu. Sifu was the first person eliminated tonight. So there you go, Bruce. The next group then had their tribal council. It was all over the place with who had it out with who. They were evenly matched in their group of six. Somone traded sides and that person was Katurah. She went back on her promise to Kaleb because she hadn’t liked learning everyone knew about Bruce’s idol before she did.

And so Kaleb was the second person voted out tonight.

THE END!
