After her constant yapping about how useless others on the tribe were in Survivor: One World Episode 2, Nina found herself packing for Ponderosa.
Immediately after tribal council, Colton goes up to the women as he always does, and he invites them to join him if the weather gets rough. They decline. A storm immediately begins. A little creepy. They experience a wet, sleepless night, and their fire goes out. So the boys invite them over to sit by their fire. Matt’s not happy to find them there on his return.
The challenge is a memory test in which they must put a series of item in the same order as the original one they are shown. Two people from each tribe will approach and study the items, then one of them will drop the curtain on both of them. Reward is fishing gear and a canoe. Tarzan and Leif sit out for the men. Matt is incorrect, and Sabrina takes the 1-0 lead. Colton is incorrect, and Monica takes a 2-0 lead. These guys are confident but not very good. Alicia is correct to take a 3-0 lead. They bump it up to 8 items from 6, which takes Troyzan about half a second to study. He is not even close, but Kat is also incorrect. They are wrong a second time. Then a third. Sixth. Kat finally gets it right for a 4-0 lead. Christina is correct. Women win reward.
After the challenge, the women go begging for fire. I thought this was over now that they have flint, but apparently not. The men ask to use the canoe in exchange, but they are not interested in a trade. They just want a hand out, which they receive. Then they return to stand by the men’s fire. The men complain, rightfully so. If you want someone to give you something, offer something other than being cute and charming, which can only get you so far in the land of Survivor.
One thing they do accomplish is catch some fish. Perhaps they are starting to understand why they are there.
At the immunity challenge, they will gather puzzle pieces while blindfolded in pairs based on the instructions of a caller, who will then solve the puzzle (with some assistance from the rest of the tribe). Colton and Jay sit out for the men. Phil and Sabrina are the callers. Men grab their first bag first. Then their second. And third. The women finally grab their first. Then the men take the 4-1 lead. Christina and Monica are shouting for a lackluster Sabrina to guide them somewhere. The women grab their second, followed by the men grabbing their fifth and final bag. We’ve seen larger leads evaporate due to puzzles, but this is not looking good. Eventually, the women manage to grab all of their pieces, but the men have built a good lead. After some relatively quick puzzle solving, it’s tied at 6 pieces solved each. Bill’s retaining a very narrow lead, but Sabrina passes him on the second to last piece. Women win immunity. They failed miserably on the part of the challenge that involved communication, but apparently the men suck at puzzles worse than the women can’t communicate.
Colton has decided he hates Bill’s guts, so that’s the target.
Jay receives an offer to join the 5 to get rid of the other 3. Matt then comes up to them, but he fails to receive the same offer. Instead, he makes Troyzan an offer he can refuse, but the whole conversation shakes up Troyzan about Matt even more than he had been before.
