With Rob changing sides again in Survivor: Amazon Episode 11, Alex was voted off the island.
Jenna has decided she now hates Rob’s guts. Great, this whining again. Personal relationships blah blah blah. Heidi, likewise, is jumping on the pity train, albeit not to the same extent.
Trying to adopt a strategy to stay in the game, Jenna and Heidi decide to start being nice to Christy for a change to try to swing her over to their side. Christy believes that she has a better chance against the girls, but she’s sick of them and doesn’t want to be used.
The first stage of the reward challenge is to race out and grab 1 of 4 paddles (two people will be eliminated at that stage). Then they will paddle out to answer questions about the Amazon. If the answer is correct, the puzzle pieces they receive will fit together. If the answer is incorrect when they return to shore, they will have to paddle back out and try again. The first two people to get the correct puzzle pieces will compete to see who can finish first. Last thing, if they sink the boats, they’re swimming. Reward is a visit from a loved one. Rob, Jenna, Matthew, and Christy get paddles. Butch and Heidi are out. The guys take their boats, while the girls decide to swim for it. Matthew’s got a large lead as the only person to not have boat difficulities. He has the right answer. The only shot the girls have is if Rob got the wrong answer, although they’re so far behind Matt that it doesn’t really matter. Rob has the correct answer but has a lot of catching up to do. Matthew wins reward.
If Matt agrees to give up his visit from his mom, the others will get visits from their loved ones. With the water works flowing from the others already, it’s going to be difficult for him to make another choice. He agrees to let them get visits instead. They’re granted 10 minutes to share a little food and drink. It doesn’t end there, though. When it’s all done, Matthew still gets the visit from his mom. They will go visit an Amazonian tribe together for the night. While they do that, the rest of the tribe gets drunk, and Rob puts on a speedo. Rob hopes to use this time with the two drunk girls to kiss and make up.
Following Matt’s gesture, Rob is stating to question whether he should actually go up against him in the finals. He suggests to Jenna that they go in the final two together. She still hates his guts and runs back to tell Heidi, and she would like to target him. Her fear is that he’s a puppetmaster. This is a valid fear. Rob’s been in control of this game since day one, and he’s played ten times the game of anybody left standing.
Heidi’s response to Rob is to call him a snake. Then she gets upset, and Jenna starts yelling his plan to take her to the end. And then more whining. She can feel free to write ROB on her parchment tomorrow night. She’s not going to be nice, friendly, or easy to work with. Well, she’s got a good head start on that.
Heidi and Jenna continue to try to sway Christy. They need to talk to her a lot lately. For the first time in 32 days.
The immunity challenge is in two rounds. The first round is to break plates with a slingshot and marbles to collect pucks. The pucks will be used in shuffle board. Rob hasn’t broken this many dishes since he was a waiter. After the first round, Jenna and Butch have 5, Heidi has 4, Christy 3, Rob 2, and Matthew 1. Butch goes first. Matthew’s first shot is enough to take the lead. Butch knocks Matt out to retake the lead. Rob takes the lead over Butch with his last puck. Jenna then takes the lead. Butch retakes the lead. Then Jenna retakes the lead. Heidi knocks Rob closest to give him the lead. Butch retakes the lead again. Then Christy gives the lead back to Rob. Butch gives Heidi the lead. With the final puck, Jenna wins immunity.
Rob’s worried about where Christy stands. Is she going to vote for Heidi still? She guesses so. When she gets the pen in her hand, that’s when she’ll make the decision. So Rob goes to Heidi and wants to all vote for Christy. Better to get rid of her than for everyone to gamble on who she’s going to side with.
As he asks every time, Jeff poses the question whether the person holding immunity wants to part with it. Jenna has decided to give up her immunity necklace and hand it over to Heidi. This may not be Jenna’s first very stupid decision of the game, but it’s arguably the worst. It marks the first time this has ever happened. The only other time since in 19 seasons was in Micronesia when Erik gave his necklace away to the girls (he was voted out that night and labeled the dumbest player ever).

Christy made up her mind in the end to vote for Jenna, but it’s a little late for that. With 4 votes, Christy has been voted off the island. She promises that her evil stepsisters are not going to win.
