Jumping over the initial drama (though it’s worth noting RC finds the idol clue for Tandang and she shares the news with Abi) heading straight in to tonight’s Immunity and Luxury challenge. This is the first chance for the other two tribes to meet the new Matsing and learn that Zane was voted off at Tribal Council. The big prize for the first two tribes is immunity, but there are luxury rewards to boot with blankets, rope, and a tarp.
If you missed this week’s sneak peak at the challenge you can watch the preview video for this week’s Immunity. This is another really physical challenge with castaways forced to drag sleds up and down the playing field before assembling a giant puzzle. Matsing can’t catch a break as they lag behind the other teams through the sled phase. It all comes down to the puzzle though and Matsing catches up quickly after falling so far behind the other two tribes.
Tandang pulls out ahead during the puzzle just like they did during the drag portion. They’re the first to finish and win the most luxury prizes along with Immunity. It comes down to Matsing and Kalabaw and looks close but, no surprise, Kalabaw jumps ahead and finishes their puzzle to win luxury and a tarp. Bad news for Matsing. They’re heading back to Tribal Council tonight.
Leading in to the Tribal Council things look bad for Angie and it’s driven by Roxy who doesn’t like the attention Angie is getting from Malcolm. Russell can’t help but agree and is worried that if Roxy goes he could be next. This could all come down to Denise who seems swayed by the anti-Angie but says she will do what’s best for her.
Tribal Council is focused on the Angie and Malcolm relationship instead of any debate of physical capabilities and the weakest link at challenges. This should be a close vote. Sure enough, Jeff reveals a 3-count vote against Roxy. She’s voted out and it looks like Denise sided with Malcolm and Angie over Russell and Roxy. At the very end we see that it wasn’t 3-2, but rather 4-1 with Russell also against Roxy.
Do you think Matsing made the right choice at Tribal Council?
