Survivor 2013 Caramoan Episode 11 Recap: The Three Amigos Scramble To No Avail

This week’s episode of Survivor 2013 Caramoan picked up right after that insane Tribal Council from last week and the others are actually praising Malcolm, Eddie and Reynold. But Malcolm knows that he and the other two guys can’t make it without bringing some of that alliance over to their side.

Erik realizes this is his shot to ride the fence and might be able to play both sides and vote with either of his choosing. Cochran praises the move saying it left him “breathless” and “terrified.” Us too, Cochran, us too.

OK, as hard as it is to leave behind last week’s episode, we must. So the Tree Mail comes along with envelopes filled with $500 each. It’s time for the Survivor food auction.

The first item up is beer and pretzels. It goes to Malcolm for $20. The next item is a blind item. It goes to Reynold for $180. He finds out it’s one slice of pizza. But he gave up the rest of the pizza. Then Sherri shouts out that she will give her whole $500 for the pizza.

Up next is a roasted chicken. And Dawn shouts out $500! And it goes to her. Why aren’t these people negotiating?

After that is information in the game. It goes to Malcolm for $480. It’s a clue to finding a hidden immunity idol.

The next item is hidden. It goes to Andrea for $280. She finds out it’s a dish of pasta and a glass of wine. She can trade it for rice and beans for the whole tribe. She makes the right decision and goes with the tribe food.

The next item is an advantage in the next immunity challenge. It’s sold to Cochran.

Another secret item. It goes to Brenda for $300. It was big brain. Ack.

And then Jeff pulls out letters from home. They can each buy their letters for only $20 each. And Dawn and Sherri are feeling like idiots for blowing their whole $500 on single items.

Eddie buys some peanut butter for $200 and he gets to share it with the tribe.

After the auction, the Three Amigos get to work on Sherri and Erik. The boys know if they get Sherri and Erik, they’d be the majority and could go to the final five together.

It sounds like a good idea to me, but will Sherri and Erik buy it?

That night, Malcolm gets to work looking for the hidden immunity idol based on the clue he was given. And then he gets busted by Andrea and Cochran. And they’re going to watch him to make sure he doesn’t find it. Cochran leaves, but Andrea stays. And a standoff ensues.

Malcolm has no luck so it’s time to try for the Immunity Challenge. This week’s challenge they have to hold onto a rope that’s holding up a heavy log and they have to slowly let the rope slack. If they drop the log, they’re out.

Cochran has the advantage that allows him to regrip one time during the challenge. And it was a definite advantage because he wins immunity.

Malcolm is back to working on Sherri and she’s intrigued but she keeps flip-flopping. Meanwhile, Reynold is working on Erik. So who knows how it’s going to go.

Of course the others are all targeting Malcolm. So let’s just get to Tribal Council and see how it plays out.
