Although she tried to set Clarence up to take the fall, which was not very hard to do, the rest of Diane’s tribe opted to vote her out instead because she was sickly in Survivor: Africa Episode 1.
It was the decision of the tribe to toss a vote Clarence’s way, and Tom was more than happy to comply. Clarence is still struggling to realize why what he did was wrong.
Frank believes he’s the boss of everybody, although the younger members of the tribe don’t really want a boss and aren’t happy about it. This split is exemplary of the split in the tribe divided by age. Silas, Lindsey, Brandon, and Kim P gravitate toward each other, while Frank, Teresa, Linda, and Carl are in their own group.
Each tribe will have to get 5 logs to their tower through a series of obstacles and then build stairs to reach the top. The paths criss cross, which may mean having to give the right of way to the other team and wasting valuable time. Reward includes blankets, food, and the stuff they left behind on day one. Linda sits out for Samburu. With Silas taking control, Samburu takes the lead on their first log. Boran manages to grab the lead on the second log, but it’s a matter of seconds. Samburu retakes the lead on the third log. It’s roughly even as they get to the final log. Kim J’s fall on the final stretch makes the conclusion obvious. Samburu wins reward.
Jessie is out of it. Despite her dehydration, she really doesn’t want to drink the water because she doesn’t like the taste. Taste is not a luxury she can afford.
Although Teresa likes the younger people, she wants to be on the stronger side instead. She considers that to be the older people.
Carl pitches to Silas to join their alliance. They want the strongest member of the other side on their side, so that’s Silas. Carl says he would be a complete fool and an idiot to stick with a weak threesome rather than joining a strong foursome. So like doesn’t Silas being with the other three make them a foursome, too? And doesn’t him being on the bottom of a fivesome put him in a particularly poor spot? He apparently agrees to join with the older group. To strength and honor.
Jessie and Kim J are worried that the guys may bond together and get rid of the girls.
Lex approaches Ethan to get him into an alliance with him and Tom to the final three. Ethan’s paranoid that Lex has too many deals going on.
When Silas returns from the watering hole, Lindsey needs to know what happened. She goes to find out and overhears Frank talking loud and clear about his plans to get rid of the youngeons. Teresa, not wanting to be dishonest, acknowledges what’s going on.
Lindsey later goes up to Silas alone, and he tells her to trust him. She’s not sure whether he’s saying that because he’s telling the truth or because he’s getting tired of her voice, which does tend to grate.
Silas may be smiling to everybody, but it doesn’t appear anybody trusts him or that he’s made up his mind anyway.
Time for a gross food challenge at the Damu Bar. The tribes in the area don’t really eat vegetables or a lot of meat. They rely on milk from cattle, as well as blood from cattle. How do they get that blood? Jabbing a cow and getting it hot and fresh. Probst dumps it in a container and adds a bit of milk. It’s shot for shot. Lex and Frank both have no trouble. Probably tastes better than most of the gross food challenges. Tom and Carl likewise get it down easily. Ethan and Lindsey are also fine. It’s becoming obvious this will come down to a tiebreaker. Teresa and Kelly are fine, but Kelly struggles a little. Kim and Kim as well. Linda and Jessie do fine, although they seem to have more difficulty than most. Clarence and Brandon are good. Lex and Silas finish off the final shots. Boran selects Linda. Samburu selects Kelly. They will drink pure blood without milk from a glass. The first one to finish off their shot wins. Linda finishes first, and Samburu wins immunity.
Jessie’s the obvious boot here, although both the other girls realize their heads are on the line after having cost their tribe the last two challenges. While there’s talk of voting Clarence off, that would just be stupid.
At tribal council, Jessie admits she’s struggled but says she’s feeling great now. Clarence believes he’s in the clear. Kim acknowledges she’s vulnerable, and so does Kelly.
