Coach directed his team to get rid of Christine in Survivor: South Pacific Episode 2.
Brandon came into this game not wanting to be like his uncle. He’s not. He’s worse. At least Russell seemed to have some purpose and logic to his lies.
Coach & Stacey and Ozzy & Elyse head to watch the battle between Semhar and Christine, a balancing act. Before the challenge can begin, Semhar has some poem about taking off her clothes and giving birth to 10 kids without drugs. No thanks, I’m good with just the watching the challenge. Their task is to balance a totem on poles, adding new sections of poles at intervals. Hopefully one of them doesn’t get knocked out when the totem falls. Semhar is the one to drop, keeping Christine alive. Semhar departs, still complaining about how Survivor is not fair. This challenge result leaves both Ozzy and Coach disappointed. Couldn’t have asked for more.
It’s been almost a whole week, so now would be a good time for Brandon to admit his last name to his entire tribe. And in case you didn’t get the memo, he loves God.
As the oldest member of his tribe who doesn’t click with anybody, Papa Bear sees himself as one of the prime targets for elimination.
Remember Ozzy’s plan to keep news of his idol discovery to himself? He tells Keith he’s got it. After all, he trusts him. So of course Keith tells Whitney.
Mikayla confronts Brandon about him trying to get rid of her. He says it’s because of her attitude. Really? I thought it was because she made you think impure thoughts by being more attractive than your wife. He then calls a creepy group meeting to lie to everybody about why he doesn’t like her and to keep him out of the drama. Oh, and he’s a Christian, by the way.
At the immunity challenge, one person will race across a floating bridge with a bodyboard, grab a bag, and hang on as the rest of the tribe pulls them back to shore. Once they have all five bags, the remaining tribe members will retrieve them with grappling hooks, and then solve the seemingly simple banner puzzle. Reward is coffee, tea, chocolate, and cookies. This seems to be a challenge suited to Ozzy, but his tribe is struggling to feed the rope to him, giving Upolu an early lead. Dawn manages to erase that lead and take over. Ozzy extends the lead. Unlike her first run, Dawn struggles, as Brandon’s second try is again successful and reverses the lead back to his tribe. After Ozzy loses his board, Upolu goes into the final stage in the lead, but it’s still very close. Coach and Edna go against Louise and Whitney on the grappling hooks. As Coach is dragging up his fifth bag, Whitney is one behind with her fourth. The puzzle does not seem complicated enough for Savaii to be able to catch up. Upolu wins immunity and reward.
Papa Bear Mark and Cochran are the two targets for tonight’s vote. Either way, they both seem to be sitting ducks.
They decide on Papa Bear, telling him Cochran’s going home (he doesn’t believe them) while telling Cochran Papa’s going home (he doesn’t trust them). Papa Bear goes not so subtly to search for the idol. Not finding it, he makes a fake idol, returning with a bulge in his pants about 5 minutes later.
Papa Bear’s hope at tribal council is to stir things up, repeatedly mentioning “the five”.
