This week’s episode of Survivor 2013 Caramoan picks up after Allie’s elimination and the fans are talking about what to do now that the click is busted up. Reynold tells them “game on” and Shamar starts in on everyone for the votes he received during Tribal Council.
“The camp is totally in chaos,” Lauren says.
Shamar keeps going and he’s getting more amped up and yells at everyone before the night is over. And he looks very scary in night vision.
The next day Reynold is still fired up and he calls what happened the night before “revenge of the nerds.” And his Eddie’s focus is still on Shamar.
Meanwhile, Shamar is feeling like the black sheep, as he says, and it sounds like he’s already giving up. He’s questioning whether or not he should even be in the game. And it’s clear that he’s not enjoying himself and that’s going to start showing in how he competes.
Over at the Favorites camp, Malcolm and Corinne have paired up since they’re the only ones who haven’t formed a bond or had a pre-existing one. And off on a search for the hidden immunity idol, Malcolm finds it. And he trusts Corinne with the knowledge and they hide it together and seal the deal on a two-person alliance.
A few of the others are not feeling the Corinne love, however, and she’s on their radar. So will Malcolm’s idol come in handy to protect Corinne? Brandon starts rambling about IF he’s the target because I think he has a way of always making things about him. That’s where all the threats he was making in the previews come in. They were just hypothetical threats. Not real ones. Typical bogus editing.
Back over at the fans camp, Shamar is opening up to the other players, telling them about his time in Iraq and after. He said it took a lot of time to crawl out of a dark place, but he’s learned to love himself again. But the attitudes he’s dealt with since joining the game has set him back a bit. He’s seriously considering quitting the game.
Someone reminds him that if he quits AND they go to tribal, they could lose two people in one week. So he says he’ll stick around. Drama queen? Strategy? Who knows.
A this week’s immunity challenge, the tribes are play for immunity of course, but they’re also playing for comfort: chairs, pillow, blanket and a tarp. It’s a free-for-all challenge where they’re all competing at the same time. They have to race out to the water, over a bamboo wall, release a heavy chest and drag it back to the beach. Once back at the beach they have to build a track and move the chest to the end of the line.
After a close race, the favorites win. The fans will have to visit Tribal Council once again.
Following the challenge, it’s once again Reynold vs. Shamar. Reynold doesn’t even get to say a word to him before Shamar calls him disgusting and starts arguing over some issue with goggles during the challenge.
The others know that they need Eddie and Reynold to win challenges, so the focus shifts to Hope. The plan is to try to split the votes between Eddie and Hope so that if Reynold plays the idol … yeah, you get it. But let’s see how it plays out. Meanwhile, Sherri is continuing to puppeteer Shamar until they can eliminate Eddie, Hope and Reynold.
Shamar tries to plant it in Hope that if she votes for Eddie, that the vote will not split and Eddie will go home, saving herself. Tricky, sneak Shamar! I like it. He’s playing such a strange game. And then the others find out that he told Hope. So anything can happen at Tribal, including Shamar’s exit.
And it all comes out at Tribal Counci. The Shamar Show continues and he’s either sealing his fate or just adding to an already confusing Tribal Council. Let’s see how the votes went down.
The votes:
- Shamar III
- Hope III
- Eddie III
It’s a three-way tie. The revote is up. Eddie, Hope and Shamar can’t vote.
During the revote, Hope gets three votes, which is enough to send her out of the game. If there’s ever been proof that a strong and obvious alliance so early is not a good idea, the past two weeks are it.
