Unable to make up her mind, Christy was voted off the island in Survivor: Amazon Episode 12.
Jenna and Heidi are grateful that Rob screwed over someone other than them, and now their sour grapes have deteriorated somewhat. He tells them he plans to vote out Heidi and then Jenna, and they don’t seem to mind.
Butch has become obsessed with firewood. He doesn’t care if they have enough firewood to last them for the rest of their time there. He’s going to go keep getting more. If it needs to be stacked in their shelter, so be it.
The survivors head off to their last reward challenge, and they know it will be a big one, probably one with a car curse attached to it. They must escape from a cage, solve a puzzle, cross a rope swing, decode a puzzle, climb a ladder, and swing across the flying fox. First person across the finish line wins reward, a Saturn Ion, yet another sponsored vehicle that has since been discontinued. They will also get to have a tailgate party with hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken. Butch is the first person out of the cage. Matthew is behind him. Rob is next. Jenna is fourth. Rob solves his puzzle first and moves on to the next puzzle, followed by Matthew. Butch finishes the first puzzle third. Heidi’s still trapped in the cage. Matthew is the first person to solve the second puzzle, and he wins reward. He’d like to bring everyone, but he knows that ain’t happening. He told Rob before the game that he would take him with him.
The ominous music and camera slowly fading back to camp lets us know something’s up. The camp is on fire. In the middle of the forest, this thing’s gonna burn down quickly. By the time the tribe gets back, everything’s gone, including their belongings and shelter. Heidi’s the only person who has a pack remaining, which makes her feel guilty. They guess that all that extra firewood they had laying around caught fire. Fingers quickly start pointing at Butch.
Rob feels that Matt’s in the driver’s seat now. Matt is leading both Rob and Butch to believe he will be going to the end with them.
When Heidi and Jenna were in control, they didn’t do anything. Now that they’re out of control, they’re still not doing anything. Their logic now is that they don’t want to bother working because they’re going to be voted off anyway.
The immunity challenge is to navigate their way through the ropes course, completing all five obstacles and returning with all five colored feathers. Matthew is the first to get his first feather. Butch is right behind him. Then Heidi and then Rob. Matthew’s got his second feather. Jenna finally has her first feather. Heidi and Rob have their second feathers. Matthew retakes the lead with three feathers. Butch and Jenna have two. Matthew’s got his fourth. It’s pretty obvious Matthew will win the partially burnt immunity necklace, and he does.
Back at camp, Jenna’s crying. She can’t do this any more. She’s not throwing in the towel yet, though. That will be saved for All Stars. Heidi hopes to use this to her advantage. Maybe the boys will vote Jenna out instead of her.
