The girls that are left in Survivor definitely have the upper hand. As much as Erik is the Survivor über-geek, he isn’t a match for that much manipulations.
The girls just want to get rid of Erik. If he wins immunity, they will have to get rid of one of their own. The only reason that Erik has stayed in the game, is because he’s won immunity many times in a row.
This was actually a great episode. I’m surprised how easily the girls were able to dupe Erik. Having been a fan for so long must have schooled him in the art of the blindside. That’s what you’d guess, but he didn’t see it coming, especially when all of the girls were working together just to get rid of him.
Naturally, Erik wins immunity. This puts all of the girls in disarray. They know that one of their own will leave. They decide to get rid of Nat. Amanda and Cirie suggest that she tries to manipulate Erik into giving her his immunity necklace. The way things are going for him, he will never get enough votes in the finals. At least, that’s what they are trying to convince him of.
Erik is naive and easily manipulated. Their plan works easily since Cirie and others are working toward that goal as well. The jury is flummoxed when Erik gives up his immunity. The girls were also surprised that their plan worked out. Erik is the dumbest Survivor in the history of the game. That’s what Parv says to the camera.
Warning: spoilers ahead
* * * * *
This season of Survivor has been one of many blindsides. In the last episode, Amanda tactfully used the Immunity Idol to make her position secured. Alexis was sent home, to her dismay.
Cirie is surprised at how devious Amanda was at the last tribal council. Things are getting dangerous at tribal.
Erik and Nat are talking tactics. He thinks that Parv and Cirie should realize that Amanda is a big threat and that none of them should take her to the finals. Erik wants to take Amanda out.
He’s totally naïve. He wants to go to Exile Island to find the Immunity Idol. What makes him think that the others will send him? Amanda will send someone from her alliance, not Erik. They’ve got the numbers.
Amanda isn’t worried anymore about Cirie’s loyalties. They don’t want Erik or Nat to go to Exile Island. Cirie thinks that Amanda should convince Erik that she should go to Exile Island. She goes up to him and tells him that if she wins the reward challenge, she’ll take him. If he wins, he needs to take her. She thinks that she can manipulate Erik to make Parv go to Exile. Amanda cleverly undermines Nat’s manipulations of Erik.
It’s time for the next reward challenge. For the challenge, the survivors have to answer questions about past season of Survivor. Erik will be good at this. The winner will board a helicopter and go to a luxury resort for a meal. The winner will send one person to Exile Island. Another Immunity Idol is in play once again. This will be the last one of this series.
Erik and Cirie take the early lead. Amanda and Nat get the second question right. Erik is in the lead with 2. Parv still has 0. Erik has 3 and Cirie has 2. Erik easily wins reward. Erik sends Parv to Exile Island. Nat loses her smile. He chooses Amanda to go to the reward with him. Amanda is power player, but it’s getting obvious. Cirie might vote her off because of this.
Nat totally looks anorexic. Her plans are just turning to dust. Cirie thinks that Erik is a weasel. She was happy to shake Nat around a bit. She’s actually torturing her. She’s squirming. Beaten down and manipulated.
Erik and Amanda get choppered to the other island. Erik wanted to get to know Amanda again. If he would have taken Nat, it wouldn’t have been a relaxing time. That’s what Erik needed. They start by getting some massages and foot treatments. Erik’s feet look like they need it.
Erik and Amanda are talking strategy. She’s trying to build him up and work with her. Amanda’s doing a good job. She’s spending a lot of time with him.
At Exile Island, Parv is sunbathing. She isn’t looking for the Immunity Idol. She doesn’t plan on really looking for it. She should have been looking for it. She’s overconfident. That’s always a downfall in Survivor.
Cirie always feels bitter when people come back from rewards. That’s Cirie. A form of Schadenfreude. Erik’s return to camp was bad. Nat didn’t even look or talk to him. Erik talks with Cirie. Regardless of what Erik does, he will piss someone off. While they talk, Nat walks by. They don’t see her and she eavesdrops. They say that it’s either Erik or Nat that are pegged for eviction.
Nat goes to tell Amanda and Cirie. She tells them about what she overheard. They all think that Erik is an idiot. Erik notices that he’s in the dog house. He might have screwed up. He told each girl something different. Erik is scared that he is the next to go. If he doesn’t win immunity, he’s a goner. That was certain beforehand though.
It’s time for the next immunity challenge. They survivors have to work to complete three puzzles. Each puzzle will give them coordinates for their next puzzle pieces. It looks hard.
Erik and Parv have the early lead. Erik has his first bag of puzzle pieces out. All the girls are still digging while he assembles his puzzle. Cirie is closely behind Erik. Amanda is nearby as well. Erik solves his first puzzle and goes to get his next puzzle pieces. Cirie is hot on his tail. Nat has finally got her first bag of puzzle pieces. Erik is busy solving his second puzzle. Cirie is digging for the next puzzle pieces. Erik is looking for his 3rd and final puzzle pieces. Erik is way ahead. He wins immunity easily. This means that Nat is a goner. They might say what they want about Erik, but he consistently keeps winning challenges. Mental and physical ones, it doesn’t matter. He might become the sole survivor.
The girls are talking. Amanda thinks that Nat might be able to convince Erik to give her the immunity. Nat doubts that this will happen, but she’s got nothing to lose, because she will get voted out otherwise.
She starts to talk with Erik. As soon as she mentions handing over the necklace, Erik says that he won’t even consider this. Nat thinks that this will help him get some jury votes. If he hands over the necklace, Cirie and Nat would vote for Amanda. He talks with Cirie who gives him some kind of story that makes some sense to him.
If Erik takes off the necklace now, his torch would be snuffed so quick, I don’t think that he would have time to blink his eyes.
Cirie on Erik.
Erik brings up that Parv might have found the Immunity Idol and given it to Amanda. He thinks that they will vote for Parv instead. Cirie says that they have him on the hook. All that is left is to reel him in. Will Erik pull this bonehead maneuver? He’s a super fan.
At tribal, Parv says that she didn’t look for immunity. Ozzy looks dismayed. Alexis gives Nat a wink. Parv talks about Erik going around switching side. Amanda rinses him out once again in front of the jury. The girls are totally working on him. He’s an idiot if he gives up the immunity necklace. Amanda can’t help but smile at this. She’s got a smirk.
Erik gives up the necklace. What an idiot! The jury laughs out loud. They totally played him. Once again, blindsided.
Parv says that he will officially go down as the dumbest survivor in Survivor history. The girls and the jury can’t believe that he just did that. By a 4-1 vote, Erik is gone.
