Survivor: The Australian Outback Episode 8

Thanks to Kimmi’s big mouth, Ogakor knew exactly who had votes against him, allowing them to gain the upper hand and vote out Jeff in Survivor: The Australian Outback Episode 7.

Rodger says it’s now every man for himself, as he realizes that Kucha as a tribe can easily be picked off. His plan is to keep catching fish.

Alicia expects four people on the jury to be Kucha members, so the other tribe better play nice.

Tina and Keith are gravitating toward Rodger because they’re closer in age. She says that she wants the good guys to win. So up on the screen pops Jerri, who knows she can’t trust her tribe.

Speaking of Jerri, she still wants to be in control of the rice. Alicia and Elisabeth are tending to the rice. Jerri doesn’t like it. It’s mushy. The good thing for Elisabeth here is that she can tell that Tina’s not happy with Jerri, who is quickly becoming the most logical final two opponent, since she has few friends on either side.

For Kucha, though, their way in may be to get the others to vote against Jerri. In addition to the fact that Elisabeth has noticed that Tina has issues with Jerri, Alicia has noticed the same for Keith and Jerri.

Tina is bonding with Elisabeth. Between those two hanging out and Keith and Rodger hanging out, that could be a powerful foursome.

The reward challenge is a boomerang toss, the most popular weapon in Australia. The person whose boomerang comes closest to the red flag wins reward. Reward is a full meal. Alicia is outside the target. Keith is further outside it. Colby isn’t even close. Tina is still unable to catch Alicia. Jerri is the first one to get inside the circle at the second ring. Nick’s inside the target but not close enough. Rodger comes close but no supper. Elisabeth is outside the target. Amber is close enough to Jerri’s toss that they need to measure it. Jerri wins reward. She’s gonna have to choose someone to go with her. So she asks who really, really, really wants this? Everybody. She picks Amber, unsurprisingly, but she does have a reasonable explanation for it: Amber came so close to winning it.

When the others return to camp, they’re quite happy because Jerri is no longer there. As openly vocal as they’re being about how much they hate Jerri, there’s a smarter strategy here than campaigning against Jerri: let her know just how much her tribe hates her.

Amber and Jerri are worried about Tina, who has been a completely different person since the merge. They’re worried they’re going to get their backs stabbed.

Upon their return, Jerri and Amber feel out of place. Nobody’s happy to see them. Colby makes his way down to the beach to get some time alone. So Jerri takes this as her opportunity to go talk to him. She’s worried about Tina and Keith. Colby tells her the truth: Tina and Keith are going to the finals with him. However, he convinces her that he’s with her and Amber. He won’t lose sleep over lying. After all, he’s just lying to Jerri. He doesn’t care that it’s a stupid idea for him to go up against Keith or Tina. His only concern is that Jerri is not allowed to win.

The object of the immunity challenge is to connect posts with ropes to form squares. Whoever’s rope completes the square gets a point, and they can continue scoring points as long as they can complete squares. Amber gets the first point. Nick gets his first. Colby gets 1, then 2. Jerri gets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Keith gets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and on through 17. Amber gets 2 through 10. Tina gets 1 through 16. Not enough. Keith wins immunity.

Nick and Alicia feel Elisabeth is foolish for thinking that Jerri will be sent home. They assume one of them will be gone.

It’s time for tribal council, which means it’s time for a rain storm.

Because she intimidated the men as much as the women, Alicia has been voted off the island. She is the first member of the jury, and she leaves with a positive attitude and a smile, having already prepared herself for her eviction.
