Rachel started to get in between the bromance in Survivor: Blood Vs. Water Episode 2, and that meant she had to go.
Colton thinks he’s in danger because he loves to be a strategist. I’m sure it has nothing to do with him being an ass (again).
Now we get to the other possible benefit to the Rachel elimination. When they get to the duel, Tyson is made the same offer the others were: she can get back in the game if he agrees to switch with her. She tells him to stay put because he has a better chance (logic Rupert should have used), but before sitting down, he picks a fight with the other tribe.
And then Colton starts crying out of nowhere. Huh? He says he doesn’t want to be there any more and wants to quit. Again. This is why quitters shouldn’t be allowed back. Probst says he didn’t really have appendicitis the first time but just wanted an excuse to quit. After a bit of back and forth, Colton decides he has officially quit for a second time. He does not want his fiance to go home, however, telling him he might actually have a chance.
At the duel, they must stack blocks along platforms while avoiding trip bars, allowing the domino effect to break a tile. Candice wins again. Marissa and Rachel are going back and forth, both unable to create an effective row of blocks. In the end, after more than 45 minutes, Rachel comes up short and is eliminated while Marissa places second again. Candice gives John a second clue to the hidden immunity idol location.
When they get back to camp, Tyson is now aware that Monica’s husband is a driving force behind Rachel’s elimination. That will make her an easy target.
He may have hid his first clue, but this time John decides to tell Brad about his latest clue. Strangely, after telling him, he says he wants him to stay behind while he goes and looks. So why bother telling him at all if that’s the condition? You could earn just as much trust by finding it and then telling him you have it. Unless you still can’t find it even with two clues.
The reward to go along with immunity will be comfort or fishing gear. Their challenge is a battle, and the first one to push the other off the platform wins. Brad beats Gervase to take the lead 1-0 for Tadhana. Laura B beats Katie to tie it 1-1. John beats Aras to retake the lead. Kat drops Ciera with one push, and it’s tied again. Hayden quickly drops Tyson to retake the lead, and medical has to come out and look at Tyson’s shoulder, which has been popped out but should heal given time. Tina beats her daughter Katie to tie it again. Aras gets hit with a cheap attack from his brother Vytas after letting him get back to his feet, but he still wins to give Galang the lead for the first time. Laura M beats her daughter Ciera, and Galang wins immunity again.
Katie and Ciera, who lost twice each, are the obvious targets for tonight’s vote. Afraid that Candice will continue to dominate Redemption Island, Brad has another idea. He wants to get rid of John instead. Most of this is just being done for the sake of proving he can do it, rather than it being the smart thing to do.
Part of Brad’s plan is to make all of his allies plus two girls to vote for John so that he can be the good guy and say he didn’t flip. Since he’s just told the majority his voting plans, they can now potentially get rid of him instead. Considering his clear disloyalty, I’d sooner drop Brad than John, though both are useful members that can eventually contribute to the tribe finally winning something.

With 4 votes, John has been voted off the island. Not liking this Redemption Island twist. It is having far too much impact on the game.
