Tonight on Survivor 2012: One World we’ve got another installment of the “Troyzan Fights For His Life” series. The show leaps right in to its first challenge: luxury. The reward is a picnic for three, but we’ll get to that later. The castaways are playing “mob rules” where everyone answers a question about the other castaways. Those who get it right take a hatchet to their competitors’ effigy. After three strikes the effigies fall into the flames and leave behind a skeleton. It’s quite clever. It’s also quite creepy.
The ladies immediately go after the men and eliminate Troyzan and Tarzan. Slowly the women knock each other out and Kim emerges as the winner. She has to pick two others to come with her which draws out some anger from those left behind. Kim selects Chelsea and Alicia. Kat is none too pleased at all and Troyzan uses the opportunity to let the ladies know they’ve been ranked by Kim. He tried that tactic last week and it didn’t work too well.
Time for immunity. The castaways will be sliding down a lane to grab a ring and then toss it on a pole. Oil is provided for lathering up to get a nice slide. Well done, old guys running the challenges. Chelsea beats Alicia. Kat beats Sabrina. Tarzan beats out Troyzan and the ladies are jubilant. Kim quickly defeats Christina. Each of the winners move on to the second round.
In the second round, Chelsea defeats Kat while Kim demolishes Tarzan. The last round requires three rings and features a greased up Chelsea and Kim. In a close race it’s Kim who pulls out the win and secures immunity for this week. Time for someone to go home.
At Tribal Council no one plays a hidden immunity idol and boy would this have been the night for Troyzan to play it if he had it. Troyzan is voted out but not before Christina has landed three votes with at least one of her teammates chipping in. Did the women make the right choice?
