It was a busy night on Survivor Blood Vs Water with a double round of challenges and Tribal Councils as the show worked quickly to restock the arena. With just one castaway waiting at Redemption Island without any challengers we jumped straight ahead to the first Immunity Challenge of the night.
Survivor 2013 – Episode 9 – Immunity Challenge #1:
It’s the food challenge and every bit as disgusting as you’d imagine. After the mealworms round only Tyson, Monica, Vytas, Hayden, Gervase, and Caleb move on to eat pig intestines. Sure, mealworms are gross but watching Caleb chew at the intestines was enough to get me groaning.
Only Monica and Gervase survive the piggy bits and face off in the final round: a pair of grubs. This is of course the item that Gervase couldn’t finish in the first season of Survivor. He won’t repeat that mistake this time though and immediately throws both in his mouth. Nasty blood or juices are running down his face as he eats away at them.
Monica is slow and steady to win the race just barely ahead of Gervase. She secures her immunity at the next Tribal Council.
Survivor 2013 – Episode 9 – Tribal Council #1:
Vytas knows he’s in the danger zone and he comes in to the Tribal Council swinging. He’s calling out everyone he can for their move last week of voting out Aras, but it doesn’t work. He gets five votes and is sent to meet his brother at Redemption Island.
Survivor 2013 – Episode 9 – Immunity Challenge #2:
Now here’s a nice challenge that doesn’t require eating nasty food. Castaways have to balance coins on a sword handle as it rests on a shield. Drop a coin or lose your stack and it’s over.
Monica and Ciera are out quickly soon followed by Tina. Eventually it’s down to just Hayden, Tina, and Tyson. Tyson drops his coin and immediately after so does Hayden. It’s Katie’s win tonight.
Survivor 2013 – Episode 9 – Tribal Council #2:
With just two couples left in the game and one of them holding Immunity it’s easy to see where this is going. Tina knows it too and just as Vytas did she tries her best. Tina calls out Monica saying she’s at the bottom of the stack in their tribe as a lone player. It gets Monica worked out but doesn’t change the votes.
After receiving 5 votes Tina is voted out and sent to Redemption Island.
Survivor 2013 – Episode 10 – Next Time On:
Watch out Laura. Ciera is ready to send her mom packing as she offers her up in a preemptive move to avoid being the one from the final couple voted out. Will it work or will it work against her?
