Yet another guy got voted off the island in Survivor: One World Episode 8, as physical threat Mike was eliminated.
It’s time for a do it yourself reward challenge. Reward is a boat ride to a local BBQ. Troyzan, Jay, Tarzan, Kat, and Alicia are on the red team; Kim, Chelsea, Christina, Sabrina, and Leif are on the black team. Troyzan is the host. Their challenge is to toss a string connecting two balls and land them on numbered poles. Kat gives the red team a 2-0 lead. Tarzan makes it 6-0. Christina puts the black team on the board 6-1. 1 toss each, and we’re done. Well, that was thoroughly lame. Red team wins reward.
Jay, who really needs a shave, tells Kat he didn’t want to send Mike home, preferring to get rid of Christina instead.
The girls decide they want to send Troyzan or Jay home next. What a surprise. The guys would deserve this outcome due to their stupidity.
Jay wants to get rid of Alicia. He still thinks the alliance is on. Troy is onboard with this plan. The girls say they are, too, except for Chelsea, who just smiles and nods.
Feeling he can trust the girls, particularly Kim and Chelsea, Jay is under the impression that everything is fine. Troyzan does not have that same level of trust and feels he needs to win immunity to stick around.
The endurance immunity challenge is to stand barefoot on a small wooden perch with their hands tethered to buckets, suspended above their heads. Within about 2.3 milliseconds, Tarzan is out. Christina drops out seconds before the cookies and milk are offered, leaving them for Sabrina instead. Kim and Kat drop out for cupcakes and milk. Alicia wants whatever Jeff offers next, sight unseen, which turns out to be a bowl full of candy. Troyzan drops after about 45 minutes. Jay hops off for chicken wings and beer. Stupid. Three burgers, chips, and a beer does not tempt either Leif or Chelsea. Leif, however, is tempted by Chelsea’s philosophy that losing makes him less of a threat, so he’s out. Chelsea wins immunity and gets to share some food.
The plan is to split the vote between Jay and Troyzan, with Troy being the target because his head’s actually in the game, in spite of the fact that he was so easily fooled last week.
Troy wants to use his idol, and he wants to vote for Kim. Jay insists he’s safe, and he refuses to turn on Kim. His other possible voting options are two seemingly expendable players, Tarzan and Christina.
Kim, Jay, and Troyzan raise their hands as being in danger, a notable increase from when everybody felt safe. Kim’s reasoning is that Jay told her she is Troy’s target, and she didn’t have enough time to reshuffle her proposed 5-3 vote.
As planned, Troyzan plays his hidden immunity idol.
